brief mention Of decision of the Secretary of the

mony and national union, as to desire TO
whip around here and there, as many
are doing, and cry " let them fight it
out?' In the name Of Heaven let who
fight it out? After wei have been drawn
into it, and after all we have, or are, is
depending on the result, shall we say
nothing, but stand and see our country
| tumbling into one chaotic mass? Where
is the man or State so base as TO be a
ncutralist! Some in our own town re-
fuse to speak their sentiments yet, but
We are glad to think the time is coming
when they must &ioc0k.
He who is not enthusiast enough to
speak now. must have heart so cold
that the fires of Pluto would not heat it
to blood heat in century of continual
burning; he is the most shameful, sneak
ing, petty, trifling traitor his country
ever knew. Try to make me believe a
man is loyal, when he will not even ia
vor putting down rebellion! Say Il man
is loyal, when he will not join a Home
Guard to protect his own family; say he
is loyal, when he sits and misses in his
own selfish soul, because he must hear
others talk of liberty, peace and union!
Suah loyalty is dishonorable; and such
men have spark Of humanity in their
souls about as large as a Stephens or Il
Rhett is blessed with.
Let every one speak for his country,
and if he has been too gruff to do it
heretofore, let him learn it is honorab bic
to reform, and to pull the scales from
his eyes and see the new light that IA
dates from the sun of peace.
Oh ye, who refuse to raise the pole
of liberty, and to hail the glorious en-
blem Of our land, reform; come out from
the traitors. the demons, the vilest of
the vile, and implore Heavens mercy
till you wash your garments white. If
you cannot do thus. seek some dismal
cave, some subterraneous vault. some
''vast contiguity of poisonous shade,
the serpent's vile retreat, where sulphur
Gus winds will chill your breath, and
cry for more of Heavens wrath, and
plead for the mountains to hide you
there, and as you cry-expire!

Explanation of an Ugly Point.

Great surprise has been expressed at
the promise alleged by Governor Hicks
to have been made by President Lincoln
that emo more troops" should be sent to
Baltimore. 1t appears to have been
merely the echo Of an ambiguity Of his
own. We now hear from, Washington
that the President was very much as
tonished when he heard of the attack on
the Massachusetts, regiment, and said
that Governor Hicks had assured him,
tie day before, that the troops would
have no troub!c in passing through Bal
timore, and that if they wanted any
troops from Washington he Governor
Hicks) would telegraph. The Prcsi-
dent had also received a dispatch from
the Governor, saying: ';Scnd no more
troops" The President supposed that
meant that the Governor wished no help
from Washington, and that he would
take care and see that the troops passed
safely. No doubt the President an
swered that the Governors wish in this
regard should be gratifed; but he never
promised to refrain from using the high
way through Baltimore Boston -4dr.
