MAKING HISTORY.

Whatever may be the result Of our present
struggle, the future historian will have 10 record
these facts:
l. That no rebellion was ever before inaugu-
rated wherein the cOnspirators could not even
pretend that one of them had been damaged in
person or estate by the Government they sought
to overthrow.
g. That there was never before q rebellion
whereof the main impulse was devotion to Human
Slavery. Men have cOnspired aud rebelled for
every kind of liberty but the liberty of enslaving
their fellow men.
3. That never before did strong Government
allow rebellion to proceed for months in a
career Of stealing money, arms, munitions,
arsenals, armories, &c, proceeding from invest
ing to bonbardiDg it's most important fortresses,
and usurpiDg the collection Of revenue over one
third of its country before raising q regiment or
firing gun in defense Of its rights
4. That never before did Twenty Millions Of
People, so long absorbed in the arts of Peace
that they had almost forgotten that of War,
spring TO arms with 20 general an alacrty 20
hearty an enthusiasm, as did those of our patriot
States upon receiving news OF the capture of
Sumter and the Presidents Proclamation there
upon.
s. That never till now was Government en-
barrassed, perplexed, by the duty of accepting
some and. rejecting other of the regiments raised,
equipped and rendered for its defense, eager to
serve on its own terms till the end Of the
War.
6. That no Administration succeeding to an
empty Treasury, an inadequate Revenue, de-
moralzed Public Service-demoralized through
treason and robbery perpetrated BY the late
Cabinet Ministers-never till now found the PeO-
pie pressing Millions after Millions of Dollars
upon it, on its own terms, and insisting that it
should take enough and never borrow trouble
with regard to its Finances
SO much at least is secure. Whatever may
hap this cannot be gainsayed, And now, If the
Republic is allowed to 80 down, it will not be
the fault of the People.

II has been reported that several of the regi.
ments which have been mustered into The SER
vice in this city, and which, under the auspices
of the Union Defense Committee, have been
drawing ratiOns, are really not full, but have
been made to appear so BY fictitious muster-ros,
and by making the same men do duty over aud
over again when mustered in by companies by
the inspecting officer; men are also believed 10
have been lent from one regiment to another for
this purpose. Thus, it is said, that bodies con-
Sitting Of only 300 or 400 men have been draw.
ing daily rations for GOO, to the great loss Of the
treasury, and the profit of somebody. In order
to test the truth of these rdmors, orders were
issued on Tuesday morning for simultaneous
assembling at noon, yesterday, of every regiment,
now claiming to bs o gained in the city, in
order that, by actual inspection of the whole of
them at the same time, it might be determined
how far the numbers claimed to be in the ranks
were really there. But, strange to say, thi.
order was countermanded by an advertisement
sent to the papers at late hour on Tues.
day night, postponiDg this general moster
until Saturday afternoon. We understand
that this new arrangement was made without
the knowledge or consent Of many of the mott
prominent members Of the Committee. The
reason Of this peculiar change of course we can
not conjecturej but We can assure the Com
miitee that they are acting under very grave re-
sponsbIies. They certainly ought not 70 be
imposed upon by any dishonest devices of those
who may make the present great cri,is an occa-
sion for robbing the public. We trust the rumors
IN question may prove to be altogether unfounded;
but they are not to be put to rest by postpOnlDg
an examination into theic truth ar falsehood.
The duty of the Committee is to equip and
send forward regiments already mustered
into the service of the United States; and wher
all those have been duly attended to, it will be
time to provide for regiments yet in process Of
formation,

ENGLAND.

Even the wisest people sometimes do the fool
ishest things, and not even her Majestys Priyy
Councils and Cabinet Ministers are an exception
TO the rule. Either Lord John Russell must re-
call the declaration be is reported to have made
as to recognizing the begerebt right Of tho in
surrectioDsts in this country, aud the letters of
msrqIe issued by notorious traitor Of Misss-
sippi or else the proclamation of neutrality about
TO be issued by her Mejesty's Pivy Council is
an absurdty. If Great Britain means to stand
neutral in the contest which has just commenced
in this country, she has nothing to do but recog-
nixe the fact that an insurrectiOl is in progress
here with which she is not disposed to NEEDLE.
We certainly ask nothing else of her, for we
stand in no need of her assistance, and
are quite ready even to do without her
sympathy if che can afford to refrain from
extending it to q nation whose ruin and
subugaton are attempted by the propagandlsts
Of cLattel Slavery. But if sbe takes that posi-
ton we shall AK her to keep it, and shall pro-
test as emphatcally and practically as the moment
shall require against her extending aid aud COM
fort to our nsurgept citizens, by giving them
any recognition whatever. either bellgerent or
otherwise. 1t seems hardly possible however,
that the British Government can make any such
blunder. The probability is that Lord John has
run little before he was sent-a not unusual
thing with him. Sydney Smith said of his Lord
ship that he would take command Of the Channel
feet at any time at an hours notice. diff
dence in his own powers, and the deliberate and
thoughtful judgment which belongs to that quail
ty of the mind, are not among the weaknesses Of
Lord John Russell. 1t 10 he, probably. and rot
the Privy Council, who will have to correct
hasty conclusion.
Nor would the conclusion he is said to have
reached be hardly less dangerous than hasty.
Mr.. JEFF. Davis's letters of marque will-if this
Government does its duty, and that we cannot
doubt-be as little respected as forged note ct

When the traitor Twiegs betrayed his CON-
mand in Texas, he had enough Of the sense of
honor left to stpulate for the safe passage OF the
the Federal troops beyond the limits of tho
State. The Texan Commissioners " solemuly
land formally agreed" to this, granting to the
troops their arms, clothing, artillery, provisions,
teuts and everything necessary for their com.
Portable movement and preparation for attack or
defense. These stpulations were, ut the outset,
faithfully observed, but when it was seen that
the United States troops, both officers and men,
were faithful TO their oaths and their flag, and
that all attempts to seduco them from their ale
glance were useless, then orders we're issued for
the arrest of the fes that remained, mere, il
would seem, from u desire to annoy aud ~ use
d little brief authority than with any hope Of
benefit to the State. On the sd Of April, Col.
c. A. Waite, of the United States Army, while On
duty of San Antonio, was waited upon by
Capt. Wilcox, who desired his attendance at tho
Office of Major Maclip. "For what purposel"
asked the Colonel. GAS a prisoner Of war -
said the other. "And who," asked Col. Waite,
"is Major Maclinl" The reply was that he
was IN officer Of the Confederate States. Recog.

called in a company of thiry-six rnemeD, to
which the Colonel yielded, protesting against the

The election to-day in Virginia will, of course,
be mere farce. The people are forbidden TO
vote on one side of the question, and the soldiers
are commanded to vote according to the orders
of their chiefs. Lest some military exigency
should prevent their voting to-day they threw
their ballots on Tuesday. In Alexandria the
vote as reported stood thus-l33 in favor OF Sc
cession, 2 against it, 4 not voting. 1t is not
stated what punishment will be inflicted on those
who voted contrary to general orders. Under
the circumstances there will be very little betir
on the result OF this election.

Finally, after much angry, and, on the part of
the Texan official, insulting talk, which was con.

necessity under protest, of giving their parole.
70 remain as prisoners was to trust to the
mercy of semi-barbarous rabble, as ignorant as
Iadiaus of the rights belonging to prisoners, and
to authorities regardless Of any promise positive
or implied. Indeed the very fact of their pres
ent condition was an evidence that they were in
the hands Of people who disregarded treaties,
and held engagements, however solemn, as
nOught. The outrage is only another proof
among mary that are accommodating daily that In
the contest on which We have entered with the
South we are to encounter a people as PREACHER
Gus as savsges and as cruel as they are treach-
erous. All the defects Of character which belong
naturally to men corrupted by ASSOCIATION with
Slavery asd slaves are brought out and intensi-
fed by hatred Of a more prosperous people,
whom they hope to ruin and then rule: and the
ignorance and brutality which especially charac-
terize the population Of the Sosth, both in town
and country, are having full swing in the license
which their rulers are obliged to give them.
This causeless insurrcction of nine States is al
evidence of how much reliance may be placed
upon them in times of pence; they are still
less to be trusted 10 time of war.

We learn with great pleasure that Col. AsBOrH

We learn with great pleasure that Col AsBoTH
is engaged in this city in organizing brigade
for the war. Col. ID Utassy's Garibaldi Guards,
one of the best corps yet enlisted here, is to
form part of it. Col. Asboth greatly distin-
guished himself in the Hungarian war of indie
pendence, where no rendered the most important
services as q military engineer, and had great
experience in outpost fighting and siege opera
lions. As Kossuth said in letter testlfying to
Asboth's part in that most memorable war:
" Without any previous preparations he succeeded
" in one night in building bridge across the
" river Gran, which led our army Of 10000
4" men to the glorious battle Of Macy Saro,
(which humbed Austria to the DUST and drove
Z" it from despair into the arms Of the Russian
Gear" This we may add, is only one Of
many achievements in which Col. Asboth had
conspicuous share.
The brigade which he is organizing will be
specially intended for outpost and pioneer duty,
for bridge building and work of that description.
Such force will be indispensable.

Senator Mason Of Virginia has written for
publication letter, which appears in our columns
this morning. This letter is only interesting
because it states in the boldest manner the
intention linking in the minds of the Virginia
rebels generally. Senator Mason distinctly says
that any man proposes to vote against the
Virginia ordnance Of Secession, he must leave
the State If any man is not prepared to vote
IN favor Of Secession, he must stay at home.
This is plainly stated. The Virginia idea of
popular election is simple one, at lsast-the

There was a riotous excitement yesterday at
st. Joseph, Missouri. A United States flag was
raised over the PostOffice. A crowd soon col
lected, cut down the pole and removed the flag.
They then hoisted the State flag, but this was
taken down by order of the riDgeader. The
mob then visited another point and compelled
the Stars aud Stripes to be taken in. No
other act of violence was accomplished.
