War News.

We group together the important DIES
patches of the the week rejecting all that
are obviously only sensation. or such
earlier dispatches as have been more fully
given or contradicted by later.
Policy OF THE GovERNMEy
Washington May t.
The Government is united in the deter
minat;on to prosecute the war with vigor
and without any further delay 1t is not
intended to act any longer on the defens-
i've The troops now concentrating IN Nir-
GINA are to be attacked and dispersed, and
llarpers Ferry and Norfolk Will be re-
taken at whatever cost In all probability
Richmond will be attacked also, if troops
continue to pour in there from the Con-
tcderate States
New York, May S-A gentleman of this
city bearer Of dispatches to Washington,
reports his conversation with Secretary
Seward lie told Mr.. Seward of the de-
termined ieelingln New York to sustain
the Government Mr.. $. replied that the
people should not be disappointed, and
thought they would be well satisfied with
what would take place in very few days.
This gentleman also had a conversation
with Postmaster General Blair, who gave
him the programme of the Government
and thinks 1t will be effective in quelling
the disturbances. Troops will probably be
sent to New Orleans. Mr.. Blair thinks
the war will DO short, spirited and ener-
getic
The greatest activity prevails at the War
and Navy Departments, perfecting details
for encompassing and Furnishing traitors.
The UeraM says the Confederate troops
will be Withdrawn from Pensacola and
marched North.
The officially announced determination
OF the Virginia Government to contest the
occupation of the right bank of the Poto-
mac, opposite Washington, is expected by
the mi!Itarp authorities here to result in II
battle between the Federal forces and the
rebels in close proximity to the capitol.
Advanced posts are to be established
/ within a circuit Of 20 miles Of Washington
/ extending into Virginia, in order 10 protect
/ the agricultural districts supplying the
/ Capital
! The city of Washington is placed under
/ semi-martial law, and Lieut.. Elwood ap-
/ pointed Provost Marshal.
| Forty thousand troops will be concen-
/ tyated at Washington.

Volunteers ACKNOWLEDGMENT Heard
From.

Three companies Of Volunteers from
Bereau County, who were among the first
of those that were accepted, returned home
the other day, not having been able to get
INTO 4 regiment 1t appears the plan
adopted by Gov. Yates, in grouping to-
gether the companies into regiments, was
to place any ten companies into regiment
whose commanders agreed thus 10 unite.
Bureau companies had united with seven
other companies. who, in the aggregate,
desired Capt Chetling, of Galena, for Col
oncl, aud Paddock, of Princeton, for Lieut.
Colonel Now Owen Loyejoy wanted to
be Colonel himself, and, not being able to
accomplish this, laid himself out to de-
feat Chetling which he did by breaking
up the regiment The story is thus told
. bv the Mendoza ObSrrer, the editor Of
which had it from the volunteers as they
passed through Mendoza on thoir way
home:
1t appears that Mr.. Chetlng is friend
OF ES-lEtDltScHldlNt IICn.
Owen Lovejoy wanted the place himself,
but failing i'll that. he determined on de-
feating Col. Chetling OF whom every one
from the Northern part of the State speak
with the greatest respect and esteem. Mr..
/ Loveioy visited the Camp day after day in
order TO dissuade the several Companies
from supporting Chetiing, and threatening
/ them that unless they would do so he
would break up their resimental organiza
ton. They declining to secede, he by
thimble rigging at the Adit. General 5
office succeeded in carrying out his threat
/ Those men are very much exasperated q:
might be expected and pledged themselve:
to remember the Rev. Owen Lorcjoy at the
/ Polls
During the interval occupied in chang
ing cars at this point, they gave Croan aitel
groan with hearty good will for O.cc,,
Logjoy' We learn that nine out of ter
o: these Companies were staurch support
ers of Mr. l. at the last election.

The massachusetts Regiment.

Oar readers remember that the Massa-
chusetts regiment, that was so brutaliy as
sailed by the mob in Baltimore, We're
closely followed on their way to Washing
ington by another regiment from Massa-
chusetts. under command of Gen. Butler,
OF whom the telegraph and ne .vspaper re-
porters, after they had passed through
Philadelphia, strangely lost sight for sew
eral days until one morning they turned
UP II safe in Washington. 4 detailed ac
count OF the adventures Of this regiment
after leaving Philadelphia is not uninter-
esting
The regiment reached Harve de Grace
bv railroad OH Saturday evening, Ape.
DIST. Learning on arrival there that rail.
road communication was cut off; Gen.
Butler took possession of the ferry boat
UUyland, put his regiment on board, and
steamed down the bay to Annapolis where
he found the Frgate Constitution with so
few regulars on board, that, (tlie people of
annapolis being sccessionists,) she was in
imminent peril Of iallin. into the hands
of the rebels Gen. Butler put her all
| right, and finding no provisions or stores
| there, took possession of all the steamers
| in the lIarIor, and dispatched them to
! lIaryre de Grace after provisions, troops,
! &c. Thus the Ncw-l orA seventh was
! brought down the next day, and sub>e-
! uuentiy the other troops that have gone
/ TO Washington. When all was safe at An.
/ naDolis, Gen Butler told the inhabitants
that he was going TO Washington, and
would prefer to r.de by railroad. lie was
assured that the railroad was destroyed,
and that there was no cars or locomotive
10 run upon it. He proceeded, however,
to the engine house. and demanded that
! the doors should be openened. On meet
! ing with refusal, he ordered several Of
/ his stalwart mechanics i'm the regiment to
remove the doors, 'aud, sails our inform

plan TO cut oil: communication with the

/ there was any one among his men that
could repair it. An intelligent looking
| six-footer sterped out of the ranks and r.
piled; =" rather think / can, for l made
that engine!' and in two hours it was all
in order. and the scream Of the whistle
was ringing in all the ears in Annapolis.
Men experienced in all the several duties
were found to run the engine, man the
brakes, feed the fires and conduct the
train; and the Massachusetts, regiment
was started forward, repairing the road as
they went, and holding themselves con
stantly prepared to resist any attack that
might be made by the hostile community
through which they were moving

Judge Douglas.

There Is not a statesman in this nation
to whom the people of all parties at this
day look up to more confidently for wise
counsel, and whose counsel they are more
disposed to heed, than that of Judge
Douglas. His prompt utterance IN favor
of abandoning all further temporizing, and
Of asserting and maintaining the authority
of the government, and putting down re-
bellion, the moment the secessionists COM
menced hostil,ies by attacking Fort Stump
ter. did more to unite the north as one
man than the speeches OF any forty other
northern statesmen could have done
There is no doubt also, that the opportune
arrival Of Judge Douglas at Springfield, at
the opening Of the recent setting of the
legislature, contributed mainly to the ex-
cellent feeling and great and patriotic una
nimity that characterized the action OF
| that body
That, realizing and appreciateing these
facts, the men and newspapers o: all par
ties and creeois (not cven excepting the
Chicago TrJune) should for once show a
disposition to do him full justice, is there
! fore not strange Such is eventually the
case. Judge D. declares that he has not
abandoned principle he has ever main
| tanned or taken back word he ever utter
! ed. vet we have in these marvellous times
the greatest Of all marvcls prosecuted, of

Springfield .Jom7arl, and all papers of that
! i!ll not only doing justice to Judge Doug
las by not dstorting his language and inn
pugniog his motiles, eulogizing him!
| Judge d. left Springfield on Wednesday
of last week, for Chicago His progress
% on the rail" was marked by all that en-
/ thusiasm and these monster demonstra-
tions at every stopping place that mark
the passage of the laurelcrowned hero

! to do him honor. At Chicago his recep-
I ton, so taras the masses who turned out
are concered, exceeded that on his return

tician of Chicago addressed HIM in a glow.
ing reception speach. The speach of Judge
d. in reply was one of thrilling eloquence
urging, as in his Springfield speach, the
duty Of standing by the stars and stripes
yey of pursuing the war against the rebel:
in spirit OF humanity and love, as against
the erring, rather than in a spirit of hate
and revenge.
