BIO assembled earlier than July, unless the neces-
sity for such meeting was long ago 6reseen ana
provided against Meantime, the Republic must
hive. aud the President must take care that 1t
suffer no deadly harm.
Mr Lincoln undoubtedly exceeded his authority
in calling out Militia and making ether provision
for suppressiDg the Great Rebellion. lie would
have been fool and traitor had he done other
wise, The fact that the last Congress might
have foreseen and provided for the emergency
that confronted him, in no msnDer excused him
from defending aud preserving the Nation. Con-
gress has uudoubted power to disavOw aoy OF hs

there never was shadow of danger that such

stands ever ready ~ ssy, "Wen done, good and

forth all possible energy in stemniog the tide Of

70 % board Qaval vessel, unless be 10 already

have catered into coutrsct. and bound our
selves 10 heavy penalties to have scot IN few
thousand seamen, between sun aud sun, from
this city alone, il be had OILY dropped us line
who would have done the whole business. promptly
and efficiently. Bas eysn that extraordinary step
was quite uncalled for. We know, from good
authority, that the loyal people Of Norfolk we're
willing and even anxious to be admitted TO Inc
Navy.Yard, that they might defend it; but that
privilege was denied them by Commodore Nc
Cauley.
Instead of sending men, however, which might
have been done quietly, accepting the oher OF
aid on the spot, the Government conteDted
itself with /" early in April" cautionng" Com.
moiore McCauley. Ga the 10th of April he was
ordered to get ready to remove everything
Then the Merrimack, which was capable Of e1'
Treating herself, aud everything else, WA ordered
to DO got ready for sea. The answer was that
it could not be done under month. The En.
g,neer in. Chief, nevertheless, went down TO Nor
folk and did it in two days But In tho mead
tune the Government seems t0 have doubted
whether there was any officer u be trusted at Nor'
folk, and that dlstrust was confirmed BY Com
modure McCauley following the example OF Capt
Adams, and dlsobeyiDg orders. He refused ca
two consecutive days TO per t the Gerflmsck
to take herself aud the o:i@r vesaels to sea-
Thus from the 10th of April 10 the 2Oth, pre-
clous tune was consumed in this da~dlIng inis-

Had not Capt. Pauldng come along ut tue last
moment aud burned up what 10 was impos'ioie
to save, the insurgents would have made clean
sweep of everything.
Now why the Government did not save every
thing BY sending men; or Why, failing Tor any
reason 10 do this, it did not, when all along
from early in April TO the 18th or leth, ass
upoo the unnstakaple evidence that there was
