Union men have heretofore been
driven out Of the Secession States with
brutal violence and their property sacri-

and they are forbidden to leave the
States. even at the sacrifice Of all they
are worth. They are now forced into
the rebel armies, and compelled to fight
against their country in an unholy re
bellion and at the command Of usurplnS
despots whom they detest.
Quite a number Of these refugees
have passed through our town recently.
They did not come from the extreme
South, but from such parts of Western
Virginia where the Secession sentiment
prevailed. y terrific day of reckoning
is in store for those whose unholy am
bition has brought the noblest country
in the world to the brink Of ruin.

THE PLOT COME sED.

Russell, the celebrated correspondent
of the London Times, who is now in
this country making observations on
the course Of events here, in his last
letter reveals fully the feelings and SEN
timents of tie leaders Of the Southern
conspiracy.
Mr.. Russell has been received by the
Southern leaders as an ambassador,
rather than a private gentleman. From
JEFF. Davis, down to the r anter on his
estate, all have received and courted
kim as the representative of England,
and have revealed to him, without re-
serve. their wishes and their hopes -
And Mr.. Russell in writing to the peo
pie OF England, says that, everywhere,
and with one Voice, they are all in fa-
vor of a Monarchy, and the universal
wish is, that they. could have one of
England's Royal princes to rule over
theml He says the separation of the
Southern Colonies from England, at
TIE time Of the Revolution, is pro-
foundly regretted by the leading men
there now. He shows that the desire
for the establishment of a Monarchial
Government, with a titled nobility, finds
an expression everywhere.
This corresponds-except the desire
for King from the Royal blood of Eng
land-with what We have believed, and
have hundred times expressed IN the
last ten years. That there can be any
sympathy between the owner of a gang
of Slaves, and q free Government, IS
simply absurd. AS long as these aris-
tocrats could rule the millions of labor
ers. through the machinery OF political
parties, they were willing to do So
But it has long been seen that the mo-
ment the people should see their policy
and refuse to be their serfs, an effort
would be made to break up the Govern
ment, that the leaders might act the
petty nabobs over the broken fragments.
Every day reveals more clearly the
desperate purposes of the ambitious
and unscrupulous demagogues who are
now in armed rebellion against the Gov
ernment. And when the people, who
have been so long deceived by them,
shall fully realize their, position, they
will insist upon a punishment proper
tionate to their crimes.

LITTLE DEF AWARE.

Although Slave State, and cursed
with traitors in the persons Of most of
her public officers, yet, little Delaware
is as true as steel to the Union and the
Constitution. All honor to her true
hearted and patriotic people.
Is it not one of the strangest facts in
all history, that the people whose every
interest and impulse is in favor of the
Constitution Of their country, should
have been deceived into trusting with
place and power, the leaders of the con-
spiracy against the peace and order of
that Country? For years the Senate
Chamber, and the Representatives. Hall,
as we'll as the Gubernatorial chairs of
States, and seats of Justice, have been
filed with traitors. And the greatest
embarrassment of the Administrati on
now is, that of all the thousands of officers
in its employ, it is unknown who can
be trusted.
In the Legislative Halls, upon the
Bench, in the Army and Navy, our
Ministers abroad, and agents at home,
in every post Of trust and confidence,
perjured villains have wormed them
selves, and with a deyilish treac hery
that shames humanity, are working in
secret to carry out the conspiracy
against the Government and people
which have trusted them.
1t will not be long before the out,
ragged populace will take terrible ven,
geance ON these, their betrayers. Ex.
Governor Ross, of Delaware, found his
State was getting too hot for him, and
has fed to Europe from the anticipated
vengeance Of the people. Many more
will save their guilty necks by a like
course. The presence Of these guilty
rebels will not be much longer tolerated
by the cheated and insulted people.

THE NEW TROUBLE IN MISSOURI

An intense excitement exists in the
State of Missouri. While the Gov
ernor and majority of the Legislature
are open disunionists, the Convention
elected by the people on the direct is
sue of Secession, is largely for the
Union. But the traitorous Governor
will not submit to the expressed will Of
the people of Missouri any more than
to the Constitution and laws Of his coun-
try. With a treacherous perfdy un-
known outside of the circle of Southern
"Chivalry," this perjured rebel is deter
mined to ruin the State whose people he
has diseraced as their Governor.
There are several regiments of United
States Volunteers in that State 4
formal agreement was entered into by
Gen. Harney, commander of these troops
and Gov. Jackson, by which the peace
and order Of the State was to be pre-
served and the rebel armies disbantled.
But like all Of his class, his word of
honor sits as lightly upon him, as his
oath of allegiance. AS soon as he
thought it safe to do SO, he issued ly-
ing proclamation to the people Of the
State, in which he attempts by the most
shameless falsehood to stir up the pas
sions of the people, and calls for the
immediate assembling of fifty thausand
Of the militia Of the State, to fight the
forces of the General Government
The Gov. seems to have been aware Of
the stupendous madness of his proceed
ings, or his guilty conscience frightened
his cowardly soul out of its propriety.-
AS soon as this proclamation was issued
he left St. Louis with band Of his fel-
low conspirators, and, as If conscious
that he would be pursued by all honest
men, he had the bridges of the Railroad
burned as soon as he had crossed them,
to prevent pursuit.
At last account, Gen. Lyon was in hot
pursuit of the villain with some hope of
his capture before he could get out of
the State, or collect an army Of traitors
sufficient to make a stand within it
The United States forces under Gen.
Lyon have taken possession Of Jefferson
City, the Capital of the State. But the
State officers having all fed with the
villain Governor, there is no State Gov
ernment. All the Union papers of the
State claim that by the open treason,

GEORGE w. SUMMERS AGAIN.

Some three weeks ago, we published
an article on the position Of this gentle
man, which gave ofense to some of our
friends. We then stated that in our
opinion Judge Summers was at heart a
Secessionist, and only pretended to be a
Union man for the purpose of more eff
fectually subserving the cuase of the reb-
els. We gave at the time, extracts from
an address of his to the people of Kan
awha Co., in support of our views. 1t
was thought impossible that Judge Sum-
mers could be a traitor to his country.
and We were charged with doing him
injustice.
1t was with the deepest regret that
we were forced to the conclusion to
which we arrived in that article, and
would have been most happy to have
been convinced of our error. But the
Judge has since thrown off the mask en-
tirely, and stands, now, the open and
avowed disunionist. It is almost enough
to make man loose all faith in his kind,
to End treason plotted under the hypo-

Rebels Arms Seized.

A detachment of troops from Annap-
oils on Sunday morning last, in two
steamers, went to Easton, on Miles River,
in Maryland, where it was suspected the
Secessionists had arms stored, in prep
aration for an attack upon the Union
men. They were eminently successful.
They found and seized one thousand
stand of arms, twenty-five thousand
rounds of ball cartridge, two barrels Of
powder, several large cases of grape AMI
canister shot, six mounted cannon, Il
large number Of cannon balls, cartridge
boxes, swords, pistols and other muni-
tions. The whole was captured and Sc
cured Withouta contest. This is all we'll.
But it does seem that it was about time
to teach the incorrigible rascals that
they must quit their rebellion. There
seems to be no use in further !cnitv

the flight and destruction Of the Rail-
road bridges, &C., by the Governor, he
has addicted his office, and they call
upon the Convention to appoint Gov
ernor in his place. What will be done
in the premises is not yet certain.
There is portion of the State lying
on the borders of Kansas which fur
nished the celebrated "border rufians
in the sanguinary Kansas struggle. 1t
is probable that the Governor may
gather around him hoard Of these con-
genial spirits, and attempt to make a
stand, but the probability is that he
will escape into Arkansas for the pres
ent. He has no convenient tool in the
Presidential chair, as the case was in
the bloody days of Kansas.

The lying pretense Of the rebels, is
that the people of the North are hostile
to the South. Every traitor sheet pub
lished in the Secession States is filed
with the most barefaced falsehoods of
the cruelty of the North to Southern
people. But it is a curious fact, in con-
nection with this pretense, that the very
leaders of the rebellion send their wives
and children to the North for safety,
while they are attempting the overthrow
Of the Government, Every Northern
city is full of these. The wife and
children of Gen. Beauregard is in New
York, and the last papers describe her
as she appeared at Henry Ward Beecher's
| Church. There is not a rebel in all the
Secession armies who would not feel
perfectly safe in sending his family to
the North for safety, while he was at
tempting to kill their protectors. This
simple fact alone shows the difference of
the civilization of the two sections.

WHAT IS THE USE.

The Government of the United States
will, we fear, be compelled to adopt
different policy toward the rebels. The
President and those acting under kim
have been treating these outlaws, as Gov
ernments in modern times nave been ac-
customcd to treat men protesting some
degree o. civilization
Hundreds, and even thousands of the
traitors have been taken prisoners, and
might, by all the rules Of law and JUS
tice, have been hung as such. But ear
ncstly desiring to avoid a resort to ex-
treme measures, they have been released
upon their oath Of allegiance and parole
Of honor. There has never been known
people who had advanced single step
beyond the condition of naked savages,
who would not sooner die than violate
the conditions of such a release And
there is not, probably, another Govern
mcnt in the world which would not have
hung the traitors to its laws, instead Of
releasing them on these terms.
But it seems that those now in insur-
rection are determined to show to the
world depth of degradation to which
no other people ever descended. When
taken by the U. S. forces, they will pro-
fess that they were deceived and regret
the position in which they have been
! placed-will pledge their honor, and in
the presence of God swear true ale
glance to the Government. But as soon
as their necks are released from the hal
ter, they rush again into the camps Of
the conspirators.
Such is the experience of our officers
in every instance. And when it is dem
onstrated, as it is being done, that no
faith can be placed upon the oath OF
honor Of these men, there must be a
change Of policy toward them. We
think it about time that change was
made. Our soldiers will not care much
longer to risk their lives in taking the
rebels prisoners, to have them released
on their oath of allegiance and parole
Of honor, only to renew their treachery
and vindictive warfare. Examples naus'
be made of some of the bandits or our
volunteers will cease to take prisoners
1t may have been well enough to ex-
ercise this unheardof lenity in order tc
show the world that the Government is
