War !!

1t becomes our painful duty as journalists
to chronicle an attack upon one Of the T.
nited States forts by rebel citizens of the
confederate states" its feeble defense. and
final surrender. We say painful duty. 1t
is so only as we contemplate the horrors Of
war and the depravity Of the human heart
on other considerations it is Joyous. Better
to have war than to have every privilege and
right sacred to the human heart despiscd and
trampled upon by heartless and and insa
tate mob. Better have war than allow the
cotton-ocracy to steal OUT property, plumber
our national capital and carry off the archives.
Better have war than continually and forever
compromise with the slave power.
The traitors at Charleston, by order Of the
pretended government at Montgomery, begun
last Friday most wanton AID ineseusable
attack upon Fort Sumter, and after bonn
bardment Of over thirty hours by numerous
batteries and the most modern engines of
war, Major Anderson was obliged 10 surren-
der or sacrifice himself and his little band
of men. And why was this civil war begun
Let the answer 90 down to posterity: simply
because tie Jmted States gore1anseM at,iet-
took to SeHd provisions to tie Sta,rtny ya5ri-
son IN Fort Sumter! If Major Anderson
lad evacuated Sumter, and Lieut. Slemmer a.
bandoned Pickens, there would have been no
tighting,-at least not until the South had
made further demands. But because the t.
nittd States government holds to the right
of possessing its own forts and property, the
mad-capS of the cotton states rebel and make
war upon the government. and shoot down
the stars and stripes.
They have sought the ISSUE, and our rca-
ders will see by the news that fills our col
umns that ABRAHAM LINCOLN is the man
who IS TO meet them upon their own grounds.
There IS a mighty upheaving of the masses
millions OF trcemen rise up and declare that
The integrity our national Union shW he

The patriotism of the country is aroused.
Gov Curtin Of Pennsylvania leads off with
an offer of one 'oHc|rtd MouSa.d men, whom
he proposes to have in Washington at IL
hours notice, if necessary. The legislature
of the keystone state has passed A way bill
approprating D'ijoa q D,oh,y 10 arm and
equip the militia. The Quakers are getting
their ire up.
New York, too is not whit behind her L.
iustrious sister \ bill has already passed
the Assembly authorizing the governor to
enroll 10000 men for defence, for two years
if necessary. The bill appropria;es h,,,

address urging upon the legislature in.medi-
ate action, Gov Morgan says:
"I.ct not New York taltcr in this hou, of
her countrys peril, but let her make all need
tul preparations to respond to the nations
call with that promptness which COMFORTS
with her past history and her present posi-
ton IN the sisterhood Of states"
Little Khody" is aroused in earnest. Gov
Sprague, TIE democratic" governor, offers
tie militia 10 the President, and says he will
march at their head The Marine artillery
are ready TO respond at one days notice
Massachusetts responds to the cal! of the
President with alacrity. Two regiments we're
reported TO be on their way to Washington
in less than twenty-four hours after the Pres
idents proclamation was issued. Faneuil
Hail. the old "cradlc Of liberty" is full of sol
diers who are quarteted there, and the re-
cruitinS officers are overrun with applicants
who wish to enlist AS fast as they are ex
amined and accepted, they are sent to Gov
ernor's Island, New York.
Our own Green Mountain state. New
Hampshire, Connecticut and the great West,
are all aroused to fighting pitch, and are

Have Faith in the Administration

Too many persons have at some time dur
ing the past month mistrusted the integrity
or wisdom Of our administration. We know
they are ashamed of it now but If will Go
them land all othersl good to read the ap-
propriate and patriotic paragraph which fol-
lows, and which we cut from the Springfield
Republican:
Contide in the administration. Happily
for the country the government was never in
the hands of a stronger or Sounder executive
than at this crisis in its history Intellectu-
ally and morally the members of the cabinet
at Washington are men entitled to general
respect, and whatever human wisdom and IN
tegritv can DO for the national safety and
honor We may be sure will be done. There
Is not weak man among them-n)t one who
has not the respect and confidence Of his OWL
state and Of the country. without regard TO
party. There is not doubtful ,nan among
tnem-not one Of ultra opinions-not one OF
suspected integrity or patriotism-not one
who is not ripe in experience of public af
fairs and fully comprehends the duties OF his
station. The whole CO untry should trust in
these men, holding as they do the most diff
cult and responsible positions ever held by
mortals,-have faith in their honest and ear
nest efforts TO save the country, and sustain
those efforts with approving words and patri
otto deeds.
