PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Is, 1851.
1t is proper that the press should be occaion-
ely dumb. Silence in woman is thing OF IN
doubted goodness, except when you AJAX her to
gay Yes. and she is willing 30 say it. We who
labor at the pen, snappers up of unconsidered
triaes, have agreed to see and hear, but to make
30 public report of military movements which
bas hourly under our observation. Our clan
hishness is so complete that we act on this con-
| flusiOn with the utmost fidelity. The Rebels
shall learn nothing from us--the press will have
ia skirts clear of the next defeat, If it should
unfortunately cOme--though we have no appre-
bensiOn Of it. We urge nothing onward but our
pens We hear drums beating and see colors
fying even more frequently than ever--cayalEy
moving artillery rolling heavily over the streets,
Brains arriving, others departing, and such pomp
and circumstance Of war as makes ono's pulse
bance to witness. The greatest activity has
been Infused into the recruiting business, and
the three months men 90 with alacrity into every
Regiment which, from being nearly full, il likely
30 BE- sent of Immediately. More have been
sIled and sent of in consequence Of this rush
kan it would be prudent to mention. In gen.
ersl terms you may be assured that there lie no
6agging in the zeal of the returned men. If
they appeared at ono time 10 bang back, it was
owing to the wretched uncertainty as to whether
tAey would ever get of. The last call for men
has stirred them in the Utternost depths, and
IAe result shows cOncUEively that The men are
ready whenever the Government Is This per-
enPtog promptness elsctrifes not only them,
Out US. Only carry it into every other depart
nent, aud the public confidence viii be incon-
eelvaby strengthened, while the end viii be sure.
lihe great newspaper audience bears up uncOm-
lPainiDgly at our silence. IL considers anything
Better than the monstrous lying kilograms which
esed 70 come over the wires aforetime Mere
rothingnsss, such as they now get, ia far prefer
able. Pope was a prophet for ignorance has
I become positive bliss. This muttering silence
boweVer we look TO be broken suddenly. Some
tasl will come over that will make every mans
blood Jingle. Say what you viii, We are pa
Bent peOple-when we have 10 be.
:. Meantime we are diyersfying things by catch
1ng spies aud traitors. Some Of these have been
1or some time IN suspense, having faint idea
1Aat they were watched, and others not yet
faken, are undergoing similar apprehepsiops.
Set u pray that the pangs Of yet greater aus.
pens may be experienced by every one Of them
