A War Sunday in New York.

York beheld such sunday as TO-DAY From
every house top. every store, from the windows of
almost every private dwelling, from the masthead
Of every ship, from the flag staff ON every manu-

Trinity Church, from st. Paul's Church the

enty-frst, from early dawn all was hustle and
animation preparing for the afternoon departure
At the rendezvous Of the several regiments, the
sacred Character Of the day was ignored and the
maxim realized that In war times there are no
Sundays; but, Notwithstanding this there was
nowhere the semblance OF rotousness or d isorder
The police had no duties to perform other than
those OF ordinary routine. At the whsryes great

Neutrality of Kentucky and Missouri
Approved by the President.

Hon. W. L. UNDERWOOD, late member
of Congress from Kentucky, has written a
letter to friend in St. Louis, in reference
to the position occupied by the borde.
slave States during the pending National
troubles. 1t seems that MIR. UNDERWOOD
visited Mr.. LINCOLN, short time ago, to
ascertain for himself the true purposes of
the Government, and as dependent upon
that the policy of Kentucky. He states that
MIR. LINCOLN told him he hoped Kentucky
would stand by the Government in the
present difficulties but if she should not
do that, "let her stand still, and take no
part against it, and that no hostile step
should tread her SOIL" The same was true
of Missouri. So it would seem that when
Mr.. CRIrTENDEN and the Union men of
Kentucky took the ground of EARNED neu.
trailty," they adopted course of policy
that now meets the appreciation OF Mr..
LINCOLN. As Kentucky would not stand
by the Federal Government after the Pres
ident's proclamation, the Union men took
the only ground that was at all tenable, to
prevent immediate secession, and that was
to stand still and take no hostile part
against the Government"

An Independent Rifle Corps.

A project has been under consideration.
for some time past, for the organization OF
Rifle Corps, to be rendered to the Presi.
dent for service during the war. 1t is pro-
posed to recruit the Corps from among lum.
bermen, hunters, and other frontiersmen.
who are already accustomed to camp-life,
and the skillful use of arms, and who are
possessed of hardness, strength, and self
reliance, from the nature of their ordinary
pursuits. We have no doubt such a CORPS
can be raised, and that in very short time
it could be made one of the most efficient
arms OF the service. We are advised that
a formal announcement of the plan of Or
ganization, will soon be made public, and
that it is the design of those moving in the
matter, to secure the services of Capt MEL
SON, OF the Tenth Infantry, of the regular
army, to fit the corps for the field, and, if
the consent of the government can be OBJ
tanned, to have him detailed for its perma~
nent command. The crack regiment of the
Northwest can be formed out of the mate
rails indicated and we hope for the credit
OF our State, as we'll as for the benefit of
the National cause, that the project may
be pressed to successful issue.

Punishment of Treason,

The penalty which the laws of the United
States provide shall be inflicted upon those
who commit high treason, is death. The
Constitution, art. 3, sec. 3, declares that
" treason shall consist only in levying war
against the United States, or in adhering to
their enemies, giving them aid and COM
fort" The same section continues" The
Congress shall have power to declare the
punishment of treason but no attainder of
treason shall work corruption of blood, or
forfeiture, except during the life of the per-
son attainted." Every individual who has
taken up arms, in the seeding States,
against the government, and has been or
may be engaged in attacking federal places,
properties, or vessels, is indictable for the
crime of treason; and all such, be they few
or many, are liable, by act OF Congress, to
the punishment of death. Those who have
furnished rebels with arms, or munitions of
war, or any materials of carrying out
traitorous purposes, fall under the lesser
penalty OF Imprisonment, not exceeding
seven years, and fine not exceeding one
thousand dollars. These embrace, however,
all the punishments that can be inflicted for
this offence.
There can be no such thing as con6sca-
ton OF property for treason, according to
the constitution which prohibits "'forfeit-
ure." Slaves cannot, therefore, be per.
manently sequestrated from master who
is traitor, nor can laws be passed pre-
venting their reverting to his heirs after his
death.

The Union.

Looking at the whole field nov, we are
more sanguine, or rather more hopeful, OF
the preservation of the Union than we have
been at any previous period since the revo-
lutionary outbreak. The Administration
appear to be acting with commemorate vigor;
and at the same time they seem to be fight.
ing under and for the preservation of THE
CONSTITUTION. The fanatical idea that when
war should actually break out, the Abolition
banner would be unfurled and the war
would be waged for the determination of
slavery, has "as yet" received no encourage
ment from the action OF the Federal author
tiles. We fervently hope that idea will not
be encouraged by any action of theirs here
after. We must ourselves remain loyal to
the Constitution, while we wage war against
those who are endeavoriDg to subvcrt it..
On this point we are happy to find the New
York Evening Post speaking out plainly
and emphatically. Speaking of the Presi-
dent. It says:
He has wisely borne in mind that those who
fight for constitution must fight according to
its wise provisions; and however impatienty
be in common with the people may have borne
the apparent prosperity of rebellion, he has
never ceased to remember that it is only in the
name of law that We can properly defend law
Treason is hasty; law is long suffering. Trea-
son is cruel; law is benefcent. Treason seeks
to conquer by overturning law; law conquers
only by maintaining itself.

-Gov. Brown, of Georgia, has issued a
proclamation, in which he fOrbids citizens
of Georgia from paying debts due to north.

ton:
/, Joseph E. Brown. Governor and Com.
mander.in-Chief of the army and navy of the
State of Georgia, do issue this, my proclama-
ton, commanding and enjoining upon each
citizen or inhabitant of this State, that he do
not, under any preteXt whatever, remit trans
Ter or pay to the government of the United
Otates, or any one of the States composing said
government, which is known as a ree.soil
State, including among others, the States of
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio
or to any citizen or inhabitant of any such
State, any money, bills, drafts, or other things
OF value, either in payment of any debt due or
hereafter to become due, or for or on account
OF, any other cause whatever, until the termi-
nation of hOstilities.
Creditors are invited to pay the money
due the North into the State Treasury, and
receive in lieu therefor, stock bearing per

becomes lawful Tor them to pay their honest
debts.

The Outgoing and Incoming Superin.
tendents OF Indian Affairs.

Col. CULLEN, who has filled the post OF
Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the
Northern SUPPLEMENTARY during the past
four years, yesterday surrendered his office
into the charge of Hon. CLARK w. THoMp-
SON, the appointee of the present Admins
tration. 1t is compliment to Col. CULLEN
that be was permitted to retain his Office
during the full term of his appointment, and
a compliment which has been most fairly
earned. We have never had an officer here,
who so justly appreciated the Indian char
actes, nor who more faithfully fulfilled his
obligations. The present enlightened sys.
tenn OF Indian management, which has re-
ceived the commentator of the wisest and
best men, owes its practical adoption more
to the sagacity and energy of Col. CULLEN
than to the efforts of any other man. He
has reaped the reward of labors which have
been arduous, in the improved condition of
the tribes under his charge, in the confidence
OF the government, and in the respect of the
people within the limits of his jurisdiction.
The present Superintendent, Mr.. THoMP-
SON, is known to our citizens as a former
member of the Legislature, as an influential
politician, and as an enterprising business
man. He possesses ample qualifications for
the post to which he has been called, and
we have no doubt be will perform its duties
fithfully and we'll. We wish him success,
and the honors which follow the meritorious
performance of duty.
