SIGNS OF THE TIM IS.
Down on the Cabinet.


We take the following from the New York Tri-
b""e of YESTERDAY:
We once again call attention to the structures Of
our Washington correspondents upon the course
OF pubic affairs. IL states that the reason whv
HarperS Ferry not occupied by The natiOna
troops week ago is that the General commanding
there is imbecjle traitornus and failed to obey
the orders OF Gen. Scott. notwithstanding thi.
no lnves igatton has been ordered, nor any repri-
mand administered, any than in the case of
the plumbers and the slaughter at Great Bethel
and Vienna. But the most startling point of our
correspondents letter is the statement that ~ viz
orous military movement is intended by the AID
m'n,stratlon, OF, to speak more exactly by the
Cabinet. The war is to be dragged along IN til the
people, weary OF armies without action, and taxes
without triumphs, can be brought to consent to
some compromise like that of Sr Crittepden II
this purpose, or anything approaching it, is really
entertained by the Cabinet, or by any members OF
IL, we warn those gentlemen that they cannot much
longer remain iD the service of the United States
Indeed they might well begin to pack their
trunks now.
Don't Want Peace
The Herald and the Tribune both refer to the
TACT that the Hon. 4. II. 7. Hunter, Of Virginia,
and the Hon. James A. Bayard of Delaware hav.
lately been in New York on a secret mission to the
leaders OF the Democratic party and the magnates
ct wall street. The aim of these gentlemen is
SAID to be to arrange the terms of compromise 20
be presented to Congress next MONTH The Tribune
pared upon the suggestion of these gentlemen, and
Is ALREADY extensively circulated. The New York
ers are oFewsrned aud told to avoid this insiduous
snare.
Treason in Philadelphia.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirey
says "Considering the largesresident and floating
population OF Philadelphia, no uncomfortable pro-
portion of chich kno,c entertain sentiments not
an accordance ot the Union feeling generally preya-
tent IN h.s city, and in consideration of the sedtious
and turbulent elements known to exist in neigh
boring city, which is scarcely checked and much
Tess suoGued by the presence of large military
i"rce: 1t cannot be deemed iuexpedient to direct
pubic attention to that condition of public affairs
Inc proposed peace measures, sO-peace at any
prlce-which have been agitated 10 the commercial
metropolis of the Union are not less suggestive that
the hydra-headed monster of Disunion is silently
at work to accomplish its object of anarchy and
destruction.'
The writer proposes to administer the oath Of al
legIance generally to the population, and require
the transient population take out permits from
the Police Office, where they should register their
names and subscribe to oath.
