We hardly need cali attention to Mr.. HENRY
C.. CAREys msstetly discussion Of the Rebellion
and the rightfolness and necessity Of the War
for the Union, which occupies a part of our
paper this morning Mr. Carey sets forth with
perfect cogency the duty of the National Govern
ment not ouly to defend itself, but to protect
loyal citizens in the reyclted States; as well as
the duty of the People to put down the Rebellion
at whatever cost But read the letter.
The decided action of Gen. Mcclellan in refer
ence to the recent mutiny in the 10Th Regiment
of New-York commends itself to the judgment OF
all. 1t requires no argument to prove that such
outbreaks should b. suppressed with the hrmest
hand More dangerous than powerful enemy,
more inSidious than concealed foe, thOse who
refuse obedience TO the authority they have sworn
to respect and cndcaVOr TO demoralize the army
in whose ranks they serve, should be treated
with a severity that shall strike terror into the
hearts of the wayeriug, and give new confidence
to the loyal BY his course in the case alluded
to, Gen. Mcclellan has done this, ard he viii

Tie name Of Beauregard, the Rebel General
in-Cbief, having penetrated TO Mexico the DiariO
di Mejioo furnishes some biographical information
concerning him. This authority states that the
grandfather of Beauregard was Mexican bandit,
called Boregallio who acquired great wealth by
his depredatioDs in the mountains of Sierra
Madre. At his death, the gang broke up, and
his SOP, Boregallio, jr., emgrated to NewOr-
leans where he bought two large estates; the
FIRST he called TOuton, and the second Beaure
gard: hence his name of Touton Beauregard
Subsequently, no was fortunate enough to marry
a lady of high parentage, and at once acquired
great influence among the foreign population Of
Louisiana. As with his property, 50 with his
offspring; the first child was numed TOuton, the
second Beauregard, and so on with all the child

obtained for his fourth son an admission into the

ment. 1t may be, therefore, that the action of
our Grand Jury yestecday in relation to Ger.
tain newspapers in this city will be sufficient,
and that they will correct that obnoxious be-
hayior which has now been twice the mark Of
public apprehension, once by the mob, aud once
By the authorized protector Of public decencs.
1t is to be hoped that such may be the effect,
and with most Of them il probably will, as the
obloquy resting upon their namcs and the con
demBaiiou with which the public will yisit them,
will aid in bringing them TO proper sense Of tho
miscbievOUs course Of conduct they have persist
ed in pursuing. Where there is any respecta-
billty, or social position, or pecunary value at
stake, the motive viii be all the stronger to at.
tempt TO escape the stigma Of public dsbonor
and of inevitable loss. We happen TO know that
few days ago tie Board OF Directors Of one Of
the wealtbiest and most conservative Of the mon
eyed corporations of this city passed vote by
which they unanimously refused TO permit The
Journal Of Commerce 10 come into their Offices
longer, although they had an uneIpred subscrip.
ton to that paper OF half year. Their example
will be followed probably by many others, for
such things 90 by sympathy, and its acton viii
be hastened By the course Of the Grand Jury.

We print this morning o letter from The
TRiBUNE's special correspondent in Richmond.
There is great interest ia this comprehensive
letter. 1t embodies many hints as to the actual
forces Of the Rebels now on the sacred soil"
and Of their probable disposition, and suggests as
the real weakness of their arms the necessity
which must now grow more aud more imperative
OF dividing aud subdividing the army. Should it |
DO possible to con6ne the entire Southern force |
within the territorial limits Of vrgina--a solid |
advance certainly could not be made, and it is |
doubtful whether an eAoctaal resistance could DO |
ohered at any point. Our correspondent states
that IN recently making up a list OF all the
troops IN Virginia, Roger A. Pryor could not get
the figure above $4,000. He is able to confirm.

large proportion of these arc badly equipped and
