draw out our forces to attack Camp Hamilton

General Butler at once repaired to this end

eleven clock.
Col Weber erected barricade near the
Hampton side of the bridge, and placed

the town, and Immediately fired the buildings

ELkTON. AUGUST II, 1861.
Let Us Do Our Duty.

The war in which we are engaged is no
ordinary one. 1t is war in which a great
Nation is struggling for existence. The men
who are in rebellion against the Government
have denied it the right to be Z; and, are now
endeavoring to make good their denial at the
point Of the bayonet. Aud the Governme mt
is doing what Simplifying defending itself
1t has not attacked or made war upon any
people, or section, but is acting on the defen-
sive, by attempting to rcpel those who are
in arms against it. This it is, at all times. IN
duty bound to do; but under the present cir
cumstances it has the right to adopt any
measures il may deem necessary for its pre-
servation. The highest duty Of Nations, as
of individuals, is to defend themselves
against all assailants; and the preservation
of such Government as ours is cheap at
any cost. What is national bankruptcy com.
pared with national dishonor Or, what are
few thousand lives, in comparison with the
life of the Republic A mere drop in the
bucket A matter Of the most tritlng
importance.
The dirty of the Government, then. is to
take hold promptly and ftarlessly, of every
instrumentaEly by means of which it can
vindicale itself, and crush out this hellsh
Rebellion. 1t is but natural that Traitors
and the aponsists of Treason. should
dcnouncc as arbitrary, oppressive, and uncon-
stilutional every act calculated to thwart
their internal designs but their dcnnnciations
must not be needed. nor their feelings con-
suited in the premises. The feudS who
planned and began this war, became volun.

they have undertaken to overturn and
destroy the priceless Inheritance bequeathcd
us by our fathers, and the loyal men of the
country do not desire to cOnciate them by

promises with them, until they have laid
down their arms, and acknowledged their
bascness and trcachery. They have wlltully
and wick"dly plunged us into war and
wcl-nigh ruined us, and we want no peace,
now, but one that will cndure-a peace
founded upon the ruins of this atrocious
Rebellion and ccmentcd with the blood of
these dcmoniac conspirators.
Men ard brethren! let us do our duty
Let us stand by the old Flag, and stay up
and encourage the Government. For if we
suffer the sccptre to be graspcd from us by Il
band of Rebels, We will be despiscd and spit
alpon by every nation On the globe, and, in
our humiliation, may well cry out

at once risen in its place, bright with al the
promises which clustered about it under the
auspices of the founders of the Republic, and
fresh with the myriad hopes of a dawning
patriotism long sliiled by the inexorab BILE
DEGREES of past tyranny. The old Union
went upon the policy of stripping the Govern
ment of all but The mere veStiges of power,
and dividing its patronage among the several
members Of the Confederacy, Or rather among
the illnstrous persons who stood at the head
of affairs: for to that extreme it had arrived
in due process of time; so that we were in
reality without any Government for practical
purposes, and any rival nation which itlt so
disposed might have attacked us with impu-

SEES the absurdity Of the demand made for
peace IN a very few unintuential quarters in
the North:
ssThe only form of pace , now existing
as possible is the hauling down of the United

of the Secession flag. They who think of
this sort of peace ought to maintain it by
additional propositions for a standing army
of at least three hundred thousand men-to
be stretched in cordons from the line Of the
Susquchanna river, along all the bluffs Of the
Ohio and Missouri rivcrs-wth fortresses to
