ATwo Fold Prophecy.

Mr.. Seward. the other night, acknowl.
edged the compliment Ofa serenads by
making speech and an agreeable Gf true)
prophecy. The latter was to the effect
that the public would hear of something
great within ten days. We do not sup
pose that the following Richmond dispatch
which appeared in the Southern papers Of
the 25,b, has any other than an accident
al coincidence with the Secretarys pre-
diction, but the resemblance is certainly
very singular:
A simultaneous attack will be made on
the Confsderates 10 ten days. McClel'
Ian will probably advance IN week, the
weather permitting. The roads are 10 q
bad condition, but is reported that Mo
Clellan is already this side Of Anandale
and advancing.

The present critical state OF European affairs will
render these publications unusually interesting dur

ground between the hastily written newsitems,crude
specuations and flying rumOrs Of the daily Journals

Who is to Blame?

This is no time to crirninate and re-
criminate. 1t is enough to know that the
country is in danger; that the Republi.
can form Of government handed down to
US by our fathers, is being endangered
aud must be preserved. We are glad 10
see, especially in the non-slave holding
States, that all party alliances or preGi-
l%ectiOns are lost sight of, and that there is
a unity so far as sustaining the Federal
Government is concerned. Let this be
done first, and then political differences
settled afterwards, There is really no
differences, politically, of such magnitude
as to call for rendering assunder the fair
fabric under which we all have lived and
ProsPered. The difficulty is, aspiring.
ambitious men, who have never been
loyal to our system of Government, have
lost power. Their motto has ever been,

lieve they will be.

The Slate of the C0nnfrY.

The state of the country is indeed de,
~plorable, and rapidly growing worse
What the present excitement will lead to,
or where it will end, God only knows
The people everywhere are excited to a
degree hitherto unknown or unheard of.
II must eliminate somewhere and some
how, and that very soon.
The Government-we speak not now
of any particular section, but the Federal
Government, under which every and all
sections have progressed and advanced in
a ann and to an extent unparelled in
the words history-has exercised a degree
of leniency and ~forbearance equally un.
parelled, with and towards a set of men
who have for years been plotting the
overthrow and downfall of the best form
of Government the sun ever shone upon,
and why there should be any opposition
among men claiming to be patriots, we
are utterly at a loss to imagine. We
have all been taught, and gloried in re-
vering a form Of government symbolized
by the stars and stripes, and secured by
the common blood of our forefathers,
and why, or for what cause there should
be found those who are willing and ready
to trail that flag in the dust yea, tram
PIE it under foot. and raise in its stead the
Pelican, Palmetto, or R~attlesnake, is
strange! incomprehensibly stranget Yet
such is the fact. We cannot, wiki not
believe that such a course comes from
other than diseased, ili-advised traitorous
brains. The God who smiled upon and
controlled the destiaies of the Revolution
airy fathers, cannot smile upon such men
aud their acts. He will arrest them in
their mad career, and our glorious coun-
try, characterized throughout the world
for its exhalted, religious, p~olitical and
social Liberties and privileges, wlIb be pre-
served and perpetuated. We must not
be controlled or governed by passion ;
reason must have her sway. This may
not, probably will not be the case for a
tiGe, but it will be in the end. Traitor
ism is short lived, and its leaders must
and will meet with an ignominious end.

sound sense, will step in and regulate

the Union dissolved, and do not propose

SubjugatiOn.

The principal hobby now used by the
leading traitors in the Border States for
the purpose of arousing and exciting the
masses there to join their ranks, is that
the North intends s~u6jugating their breth-
rem of C%ottenocracy. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. No act Of north
ern people. or of a single northern indi-
vidual, can thus be construed by sensible,
honest men. The General Government.

prevent the seceeders from stealing all
