upon the u. s. Armory at Harper's Ferry ana
the Navy.Yard at Norfolk, aud compelled the
few loyal officers ia charge Of those posts to de-
strcy millions worth of Government property to
rave it from their clutches An that could Tot
be destroyed, the traitors seized and have armed
Their forts, entertainments, and batteries, mainly
with The fifteen hundred cannon they obtained
at Norfolk. They have called the entire Militia
of the State to arms, have entered into a treaty
Of close alliance with jeff. Davis, and have filled
their State with thousands of armed insurgents
from every part Of his dominions. They have
hunted cut thousands of Union men. accused Of
no crime but loyalty, and the process is still
going forward. The flag of JEFF. DAVIS floats
to-day over three-fourths of the State, and Is
Haunted in plain sight of Washington City. The
rebels hold Harpcr's Ferry in force, stopping
there ard elsewhere the trains of the Baltimore
aud Ohio Railroad, and taking out passengers rs
pies. Need we add more to chow that the SOL
rnln reservation to themselves by the People OF
Virginia Of the right Of voting Secession or No
Secession has been usurped by the Convention,
under the whip aud spur OF the traitors, and
that the election of this week will BIO n dreary
farce, to which nobody can honestly accord any
moral or legal weight
Mr.. Stuart tells bis friends that they must
" stand by the action of the State '-meanDg
thereby not the action Of the People which de-
med the Convention power to put Virginia out
of the Union but the act Of the Convention
whereby that po@er was usurped in defiance OF
the People. They must plunge her into mad
rebellion without considering whether there Ia or
is not any cause for it, Wrons-Law-
Cobrtutlon-Loy al'y--eyeryt hiDg must be ig-
norcd-aud the whole force of the State rallied
to the support of the traitors under the plea that
this is necessary to resist invasion. Is not this
lovely specimen of the Virginia Wing and
UDonist
Mr. Stuart SAYS that if any shall stand by the
Cuon they will afford pretext for "sendioS
armies into our bordeTs." He knows this To be
a lie. 1t is the muster Of thousands under the
flag Of the Secession traitors that has compelled
,ne General Goverpn eDt TO send troops into Viz
gitii Had she stood firmly by the Union, there
would ave been no thought of this
Language is utterly perverted by the modern
apostles OF treason. Sir. Stuart apprehcnds that
the Federal Government. will seLd an armed force
pto Virginia for the purpose of " sustaining the
'hands ofMe d,seg ect,d." In bisyocabulary, those
who stand by the Union and the Constitution
where he proir,sed TIL just now to stand-are
"he dim6cded;" while those who embark in the
jeff. Davis cJuspiracy TO dismember the Repub-
la, .ra ~, l.V.l For such utfpr pprxprginu of

no answer but that v ich is spoken from the
mouths of cannon.

rYEx Latest WAR NEWS.

The war news this morning is not definite, but
the movements foreshadowed are of great import
apce Large bodies of troops are rapidly concen-
trating ut Fortress Monroe, where VIII be the
Headquarters of Gen. Butler, and whence at least
ne of tbe great expeditions paoDed by the Cow
;rnment will set out The establishment Of the
gew Military Department o, Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee creates fresh excite
ment at Washington. aud Of course Throughout
the country. The Massachusetts, 9Th and Stb
Regiments received orders yesterday to prepare
for instant departure. They were in readi-
ness for marching in half hour. 1t ap-
pears now that Gen. Wool is to find
active service at some other point than Fortress
Monroe Gen. Butler il to have the chief com
mard there. A letter from the Minnesota It st
that she has made captures of 100000 wcrth
of vessels aud cargocs s5e is expecting that the
Rebels will attempt to fortIfy Sewall's Pont. III
which case they Will be forced TO cesst at once.
A deserter from Harpers Ferry declares that up
to Thursday night the Rebels had there only IL
pieces OF cannon. They are continually commit
ting depredatlons on the property of private clti-
zens in their vcoiy, causing great alarm and
much i'll feeling. Reports from II chmond repre-
sent Gov. Letchcr being badly frightened, AID
as confident that there will be no fighting if
this prediction of his means anything it means
that the rebels will withdraw from the contest;
an act of prudence which they are probably
hardly wise enough to perform. Spies are daily
detected in Washington; they come from Virginia,

curse Of military preparations there, aud then

ers. Reports from Mississippi say that
active military movements are taking
place to establish an efficient Home Guard for
protection against servlle insurrect ons so it
seems that the boosted confidence Of the slave
owners is not thoroughly genuine. 1t is said
that On Saturday thousand Mimic rifles found
their way from the North to Harper's Ferry for
The rebels. A traveller states that he last week
passed $1,000 troops in Tennessee, on their way
toward Virginia.

Senator Bayard OF Delaware has issued an adj
dress to his constituents, called forth by the re-
cent denunciations against him on his return from
the South. He nairates the history of the jour
ney, gives the motives which induced him to I'M
dertake it, aud denies having been in consultation
with the rebels in Montgomery. He proposes to
rest his past course, his general character and
his future life, and declares that he shall resign
ss soon as he is convinced that there is TO be a
war. We don't think he will have to wait long.

WOUNDED UNION PRISONERS HUNG BY
THE REBELS.

81. CHARLES, Mo-, July 81 1861.
By the train today we have confirmation OF the report
that Col Ben Sharpe, of Montgomery county, and Lieut.
Jaeger Of the Union troops wounded by the rebels
and subsequently, hung. Lieut. Jaeger, who had been
wounded in the arm day two previous by the
sionists near Welsvc, was being taken by Col Sharpe
to his (sharpe's) home, in Danville, in buggy, when
they were fired upon by parties concealed in the
bushes by the roadside Col Sharpe seriously
wounded in the back Their horse taking fright, ran
to Marnsburg, where soon after, they overakon
by party of mounted men, and in spite of their enea
ties that ther yos might be spared both taken out
and hung
Colonel Sharpe was Captain Of the Montgomery Home
Guard and prominent lawyer OF Danve, and formerly
a State Senator,
