But ONE HorE FOR THE REPuBLIc.-The

There is but one hope for the Reptile. Il

pei the fear and respect of its enemies abroad
and at home-or it is lost There is no mid
die ground-there is no middle course. Let
the men of the people shake off this discour
agement, and recognize at once eur duty and
our power to triumph, and the work will soor
be done Then-the duty of the present met
we can easily take care of the future.

ALEXANDRIA, VA July S.-Much excitement
arose here yesterday out of the conduct Of Pres
bgterian parson, named Leftwinch, who has a
congregation here. He undertook to preach trea-
son in the forenoon from his pulpit, with great
boldness, and total disregard Of the obli cation
resting equally on the clergy and laity to be loyal
10 the onion.
Col. Heintzieman, In command here, Ia under
stood % have intimated to him that on the repeti
tinn nf his offence against loyalty, ne would send
him up to Gen. Mansfield for such d,sposi ion 70
the pubic safety might require. But the authori-
ties Of the church, majority Of whom have no
sympathy with disunion, prudently closed the
doors upon him, permitting no evening service.
IT'S high time that examples were made of men
OF raitorous sentiments in such positons-in posi-
tions In which they may, perhaps, poison the
popular mind. IL Gen Mansfield could set some
OF his traitor prisoners to wholesome hard labor
for tme-in preparing something requisite for
the army, talking sedition on the streets, and
preaching 1t from the pulpit, would suddenly
cease In tails quarter, vnu may rely on It,
