THE MILITARY RESOURCES OF THE NORTH
Already thirty thousand men have gone for
ward from our midst to the seat of war, and
yet they are not missed. Indeed we only hear
OF their individual absence through their
friends making some casual mention of the fact,
such as "Fred 9 gone with the Seventh" or
"Jones is with the Zouaves" Broadway dis.
plays apparently undiminished perambulating
crowds Of men as well as women. The same
is true Of the leading thoroughiares of Boston,
Albany and Philadelphia; and even if thirty
thousand more, or twice that namDer, were to
depart from the North, they would cause no
perceptible diminution of our population, and
their absence would cause no interruption Of
the ordinary business of every day life This
demonstrates in powerful degree the enor-
nous physical resources we have for carrying
on q great war on our own soil, and furnishes
undeniable evidence that it only requires the
word Of command to produce action, and in
action victory. On all sides we hear of men
eager to enlist for active service; and it was
stated only few days ago by Senator Chand-
Ter, at Washington, that in the Northwest alone
there are six hundred thousand men ready to
volunteer in their country's cause at a moments
notice. The spirit of earnest patriotism is too
widely diffused and deeply felt among our
people to require illustration at our hands. 1t
is vast, magnificent, sublime.

SOUTHERN TELEGRAPHIc DEsPATcHEs.-In an
other column we publish Geographic despatch
from New Orleans to the effect thatseveral Eng.
lish ships are blockaded in Pensacola harbor.
which will lead TO the interference of the Eng
fish fleet, and that many of the officers of the
United States squadron outside are disloyal, and
will, of course, surrender the blockading ships
to the Confederate forces. We publish this des-
patch just as we received it, and give it inser
ton merely to show TO what desperate lengths
men will 60 who are embarked in desperate
cause. The officers in command Of the squad
ron at Pensacola have been already tried, and
there is no danger of their abandoning the flag
under which they sail
As 10 the statement that there are English
ships blockaded, it cannot be true, because ali
announcement has been made by the govern
ment that q reasonable time will be allowed
for all foreign ships to depart
And that the British government will ever
interfere with the blockade in any way there
is not the slightest evidence at present. In fact,
the despatch carries improbability on It's face
II is of piece with another which we pub
lished yesterday from the same city, to the
effect that French and English fleets are daily
looked for; that 1t is said fifty ships-of the-line
will be rendered If necessary, to keep open
the Southern ports;" and, farther, that zone
hundred millions of dollars will be raised, If
the Confederate Congress requires it, to prose-
cute the war" The character of the whole of
this despatch may be estimated from the fact
that il was with the greatest difficulty the loan
lately called for by the Montgomery govern
ment was raised.

takes of exaggeration, as events may decide

to dispute, first, the possession Of Alexandria.
We apprehend that Gen. Scott has had good
reasons for his delay in the occupation Of that
town, though entirely abandoned the other day
by the rebel forces. He Is, perhaps, waiting
for more troops, 80 as To be able to send there
strong force without endangering the security
OF Washington from descent in the rear
An intelligent traveller just returned from
Charleston, having journeyed all the way
through the heart of the intervening slave
States, says that speedy battle, whether they
win or lose it, is necessity to the supporters
of the JEFF. Davis government in Virginia. The
suff0cation OF the secession movement in Mary
land is demoralizing the cause in Virginia, and
to stop the Union reaction already manifesting
itself there the excitement of fight is called
for 1t is imperatively demanded, not only to
keep secession alive in Virginia, but to prevent
threatened Union reaction in the other luke
warm border slave States. The Confederate
government at Montgomery, to save the cotton
States from Northern invasion, may thus pre-
cipitate collision at or near Washington, 10
order to make Virginia bear the brunt of the
war, and perhaps they still entertain the hope
of lighting up poor Maryland with the fires Of
rebellion.
From such desperate expedients and neces-
stiles we can begin to comprehend the real
weakness of this Southern revolution A
hasty, i'll advised and desperate enterprise,
depending upon so many i'll founded expecta-
tons and desperate chances, and with its mana
gers go entirely unprepared for long siege,
it is only by dashing surprises that it can be
kept from falling to pieces But the achieve
ment at Fort Sumter is suffering an eclipse
from the delay in the assault upon Fort Pick
ems and from the blockadiDg services of For
tress Monroe in the cause Of the United States.
Thus locked up, old Virginia win soon become
too cool for the Palmetto tree, unless some
thing shall quickly be done to stir up the blood
of her people. There is some danger that they
may reject the blessings of secession in their
election on the Esd of May, and thus in the
interval the secession leaders, hit or miss, may
try the experiment of q battle to strengthen
their sinking cause.
The policy of our government is clear. 1t is
at once to operate in Virginia, as it has done
in Maryland, with an overwhelming force and
the same results will follow. The Union senti-
ment among the people will save the State; and
thus, with the saving of Virginia, the whole
fabric of secession may speedily tumble to the
ground.

Too FAST BY HALf.-We see by the Memphis
Bulletin that some of the Southern regiments
have adopted a flag with fifteen stars instead Of
seven or eight, the secession of all the border
States being regarded as "a foregone conclu-
sion." This is jumping il rather fast. Ar.
kansas has, it is true, just seeded; but North
Carolina and Tennessee have not ~ yet for
mally initiated her example. Between the win
and the accomplishment there ia a long step,
and the pressure of events may induce these
States to pause before they suffer themselves to
be dragged into the pains and penalties OF re-
bellion. Delaware is loyal to the core, and the
wavering disposition Of Maryland. OF rather Of
her Legislature, will soon be converted into
steadiast fidelity to the Union. The vote of the
Virginia Convention has yet to be confirmed
by the people and il the presence Of a federal
army within her borders has not the effect OF
Geieating the secession movement. we have
the satisfaction OF. knowing that Western
Virginia will not allow itself to he forced ont
of the Union. The seeded portion may annex
itself TO North Carolina; bot assuredly the peo-
pie OF the western counties will not permit
their State organization or the proud title Of
The ord Dominion 70 be wrested from them
The Southern confederacy in assuming the
fifteen stars on their dag are simply counting
their chickens before they are Matched. The
probabilities are tina, before many weeks have
elapsed the number will be reduced TO the
original seven with which they inaEgurated
their rebellous league.

THE CHURCH RULED OUT OF THE CONGREGATIONAL

The ministers and delegates of Congregational churches
who have for time past been celebrating in
Gil upon the affairs OF Or. Cheevers church, yesterday
announced the result of their deliberations was
understood by the members Of the council that each
Congregational church independent they could asa
sumo authority, but must oOnne their investigation
simply to ascertaining the facts and advising
for the other churches in the Congregational connection
to pursue The council represented churches in all parts
Of the North East and West and after full inquiry
unanimously Of the opinion that the Church OF the gr
tans had departed from ths proper position of church
OF Christ by allowing its to be used in the British
Aid Mission for the purpose OF raising fund
TO control the policy Of the church They had also erred
in endeav0ring TO maintain majority in that policy by
excluding applicants for church membership who would
not promise to approve that policy; also, by eHpeng
without notice or trial, members who opposed the
policy.
The council, in view Of the facts, recommend the
churches to Withdraw fellowship from the Church OF the
Purtans until it abandons this course and recommend
the members who called the council to be recognized
new church, or 10 unite with other churches.

Be Nor DECEIvED-ToO much confidence by
half is placed upon the apparent passiveness
of the secessionists in their alleged design for
descent upon Washington. This is owing no
doubt in great measure to the fact that the
secession military leader, whoever be is. has
not deemed it advisable to display his force at
points now occupied by Northern troops. We
affirm in all candor that this immobility of the
secessionists is significant, and their leader is
evidently man of military skill, in thus far
concealing their movements from the enemy
correspondent of this paper, who has just
returned from an extended tour in the South,
gives positive assurance, basing his opinion
upon ocular demonstration, that the forces
he saw passing through Alabama and
Georgia, and other States, added to those
ordered from South Carolina, and the Virginia
forces, all intended for demonstration on
Washington, must number ere this between
forty and fifty thousand men, and those now
not City miles from Washington city. These
troops, with whom our correspondent con-
versed freely, stated that they were destined
for Dumfries, in Virginia, where they were
to concentrate, and by the middle OF
May to attack the city of Washington.
The Southern troops were a stalworth
hardy set of fellows, full of confidence
and ready for desperate fight. We cannot
deceive ourselves in believing that the seces-
sionists are overawed by. any demonstration
that has been made by our Northern troops;
but, on the contrary, we believe this apparent
apathy of the secessionists will soon develope
itself into grand, sudden military movement
towards Washington. We therefore, in all
candor caution our military men in the field to
be vigilant; lose no time in disciplining your
men in the use of arms and the imore compli-
Gated lessons in field tactics, especially in the
double quick movements, skirmish drill and
bayonet exercise The Southern troops place
almost their whole confidence to cope with
Northern troops in their superior marksman-
ship, and put the other military essentials as Of
secondary consequence. Our troops should
therefore place great confidence in quick move
ments in the field, and close quarters upon the
enemy, and the use Of the bayonet. The bayonet
in close quarters is more than match for superb
or craftsmanship under similar circumstances.
