A Glimpse at the South.


r. W. Barnwell, in letter from Char
louisville to the Charleston Mercury,
Aug. 18th, says:
"The supplies Of clothing for the
army is not half enough The destitu-
tion of our army in clothing and food is
terrible. Applications are made to US
by well men who wish to escape sick
ness, for an extra pair of drawers, sacks,
or undershirts. 1t will require every
nerve to be strained by you at home,
and ourselves here, to meet the exigen-
cies of the fall and winter, should war
last SO long"
Well, whether the war lasts so long
or not depends entirely upon the rebels
themselves, and their aiders and abet-
tors. just as soon as they abandon
their unholy treason against the Gov
ernment, just SO soon will the war cease,
and it will not cease until then. If
those in the North who are clamoring
for peace will only induce their allies
to quit their armed attack upon the
loyal citizens, peace will follow in an
hour. But if they mean, by peace, the
submission of the people to the ambi-
tious tyrants who are attempting to
seize upon the Government, we trust it
will be some time yet before they can
have peace.

Secretary of War.

100 A terrible onslaught has been kept
up against Cameron" Secretary of
War, by the Commercial: and other pa
a alpcrs of its style of writing. His resig
nation or removal has been imperatively
demanded by these papers several times
In each issue. But we think they will
now cease their clamor, and become his
: warm partisans. For We have by tele-
graph of the 22d, this thrilling an
nouncement 'iBy order Of the SEcRE-
-TARY Of WAR, a tngitire Stare acas yes-
tcrday arrested near Rockville, saeg sur
? Tendered to has oarner."
Cameron has evidently walked up to
the Importance of the crisis. If be had
only ordered that "nigger" caught
three months ago, perhaps jeff. Davis
would have disbaaded his army and
permitted the Union to stand a while.
AT any rate, many Of the attacks upon
1nthe War Departments would probably
never have been written. We shall
look for an earnest support of the Sec
ietary of War hereafter, especially in tAis
branch Of has ldbers.

Warned Out.

Thousands of loysI citizens have been
driven from the Southern States by the
violence of mobs, lynch committees, and
military leaders, leaving their property
to be seized by the rebels, happy to es-
cape with their lives. And now, jeff.
Davis has issued his proclamation re-
quiring every Union man and woman to
leave the Southern Confederacy. Of
course, confscation of property and per-
secution unto death will follow upon a
refusal or inability to obey. And yet
his understrappers and supple tools are
running at large in every town of the
loyal States trying to stir up anarchy
here, that the same rule may be inaugu-
rated in our midst. 1t would be a
happy exchange if we could send a tory
South for every exiled patriot that is
driven from his native State. The
sneaking sycophants would do us infn-
itely less mischief if in the rebel army,
than sowing sedition under the plea of
sustaining their party

More Secession.

The Clipper, the Democratic paper
published at Ironton, secedes-not from
the Union-but from the platform and
candidates Of the party. 1t prefers the
Constitution as our fathers made it, and
the Union as represented by the stars
and stripes, to the glory of being beaten
in the hopeless attempt to elect ticket
in sympathy with armed traitors and
rebels against the Government.
The Hon. Ralph Leete, B. f. Corey,
NJ. S. Bastrom, W. H. Spicer, John
Snider and J. S. Boadarmour, of the
Democratic Central Committee, Of Law
renee County, publish a card in the
Clipper, announcing their Secession"
from the party as now controlled. They
can't go the swindle attempted by the
Columbus Convention faction. We
rather guess there are good many in
this County who wsll "secede" in the
same way.

Gov. Magohn's Audacity.

The Frankfort (Ky.) papers say that
Magofin, the tory Gov. of that State,
has sent w. A. Dudley and f. Hunt
commissioners to President Lincoln, to
demand the withdrawal of .. S. troops
from Kentucky! The very best thing
that Lincoln could do would be to have
the impudent traitor arrested at once.
The people of Kentucky have just de-
eided for the Union, for the third time,
by an overwhelming majority. And
yet the Governor and Senators are plot
ting treason by day and night, deter
mined to force the State into the Cotton
Confederacy against the clearly ex-
pressed will Of the people.

Vermont True to the Core.

The leaders of the Democratic party
in Vermont, like those in Ohio, refused
to join in Il Union movement, and de-
tcrmincd to give ''aid and comfort to
the rebels by partisan nomination on
partisan platform. For this purpose,
they met as did their counter part in
Ohio, and on platform which jeff.
Davis mi ght admire, nominated a State
ticket to the great delight of tories every
where.
But, as in the case of Scott Harrison
in Ohio, they got the wrong man. They
nominated Paul Dillingham; for Cover
nor. But MIR. Dillingham;, like Scott
Harrison, can't be used for their pur-
poses. He promptly declines to resign
his name to inlamy, by having it con-
nected with the insidious schemes of
secret traitors, and in his letter says:
"Our country is now in the midst of
fearful struggle for the maintenance Of
the Unton Of the States, and ofthc integ-
ritz and continuance Of the National Coz
ernmcW We are engaged in war, that

our National existence.

we be Republicans or Democrats. In
such an union there will be strength

feel very confident that great num-
ber-1 hope majority-of all the old
parties in this State feel and Judge as l
do, and that they will rise above party,

With such [ mean to act, whether
Their number be few or many, till this
most wicked rebellion is crushed out; and
wishing that my opinions and acts may
be in harmony, have felt called upon to
decline the nomination so honorably
rendered to me.
There spoke true patriot! The re-
buke ought to open the eyes of every
honest Democrat in that State The
race of these miserable Northern Sc
cessionists must surely be a short one
now, that their true character is being
SO thoroughly understood. The only
danger is that, seeing the utter hopeless
ness of regaining power by deceiving
the people, they will, like their South
ern brethren, break out into open vio-
lence. Nothing but the lmpossibility
of carrying the party with them will
prevent the attempt

Secesh in WASHINGTON,

Mayor Barrett, of Washington, who
was appointed one of the new Board Of
Police Commissioners, refused to take
the oash of allegiance to the Govern
ment of the United States. Of course
he will not be permitted to exercise the
functions of the office without. The
conspirators have so long had absolute
sway at Washington that no man could
be received into the aristocratic social
circles there who was not either slave
holder or his tool-literally a white
slave. Hence all who made any preten-
sions to high standing had to be Sc
cessionist, of course. All that will be
changed soon. Just as soon as it ceases
to pay to be tory, toryisn will die out.

u. S. Troops Surrendered.

A dispatch from Independence, Mo-,
on the goth, says it was reported there
that Major Lynd, of the United States
regular army, in New Mexico, has sur
rendered himself and 500 troops to the
Texas rebels, without any resistance
We hope all the traitors will soon have
gone over to the enemy boldly and openly.
We will then know where we stand. AS
it has been SO far, the most dangerous
enemies of the Government have been
found among thosewho were her most pet
ted officers. For dishonorable treach-
cry, the history of the world shows no
parallel to the leaders of the conspiracy
against this Government.

Rebel Spies in Washington.

heOel spies III washington.
The desire of the Government has
been, and still is, to win back the pco-
pie of the South from the clutches Of
the traitors, who are usurping an abso-
lutte despotism over them. And for this
purpose an amount of forbearance un-
known in any period of the world has
been exercised toward the rebels. But
this forbearance must soon cease or the
Government itself will cease to exist
The New York Herald says:
The facilities enjoyed by the rebels to
obtain information in regard to our mill
tary preparations here is source Of
serious annoyance. Notwithstanding
the forbearance Of loyal correspondents
and editors to furnish to their readers
information Of the movements of our
army of the Potomac, intelligence Of this
sort is constantly, and regularly COM
municated to the other side. The spies
of the rebels are swarming among us
They come in every imaginable capacity
--uCu anu NOuCu, LnCl ClChduIS; mai hCI-
men and mechanics, and wives, widows
and daughters Of some person on the
other side of the Potomac. They
abound in all the departments of the
Governments They impose themselves
upon the confidence of the highest
officers, and they find means through
their coadjutors in Maryland to transmit
daily to the rebel headquarters all the
information they are thus enabled to OBJ
tain. They live among us, they are
part of our permanent residents, and ar
range so completely that they pass our
lines frequently when loyal men are ar
rested on suspicion. A few days ago
two individuals presented themselves at
the line Of the army of the Shenandoah,
one of them since proved to be entirely
loyal and going upon legitimate bust
ness, was not provided, the other passed
freely upon permit from the Secretary
Of War himself The latter is one of
the most active, virulent and notorious
of the rebels of Baltimore. The one
who has, perhaps, spent more money in
behalf of the rebels than any other half
dozen men in that city, and is the pro-
prietor Of the South, the avowed, open,
defiant and mischevicus organ of the
rebels there.

The South in Fear of Fremont.


1t will be recollected that the inces-
SAINT lying of the Southern disunion-
lists and their Northern allies, about
Fremont, during the Presidential cam
paign of 1856, brought on widespread
panic of slave instruction. These
lying traitors, for the purpose of in
flaming the passions of the ignorant,
everywhere proclaimed that Fremont, if
elected, would Immediately liberate all
the slaves. OF course the more favored
slaves, hearing their masters repeat this
stuff, GOT the idea that their freedom
was, i'll some way, connected with the
name of Fremont.
Many slaves, as every reader will re-
member, were hung, some burnt to death,
and thousands shipped South from Ten
ncssec and other border States, for being,
or on suspicion Of being, engaged in a
contemplated instruction. The insur-
rectiOn was put down. But the negroes.
it seems; have not forgotten the name Of
Fremont e~a
With that superstition, peculiar to
the uneducatcd, when an idea looking
to their freedom finds lodgment in
their minds, it is never given up, but be-
comes the theme of meditation through
life. And just such is the vague idea
that, somehow, freedom was to come to
them through Fremont
Now that Fremont is in the south
west at the head of powerful army,
these ignorant and superstitious slaves
believe that the hour of their deliver
an e has come, and seem disposed to aid
somewhat in its speedy arrival. The
rebels are greatly alarmed at the signs
of slave insurrection. If it should
occur, they will have but themselves to
blame. Any man out Of a lunatic asy-
lum ought to know that the only
safety of the South is in the Union.-
But ambition has made the South in
sane!

hopes of getting back to the u. S. Sem
ate, if the Democracy should carry the
State, would have kept him out of view
for while. He evidently has either
given up all hope of carrying Ohio by
the double faced dodge of the Columbus

MARYLAND for the Union.

A grand Union Convention has been
held in Maryland, and a Governor and
State ticket of the right stripe put in
nomination. A long series Of resolu-
tions we're adopted, which breath, the
spirit Of true patriotism in every line.
They are in strange, but refreshing con-
trast with the double faced hypocrisy
evolved by the Secession faction which
met at Columbus under the name Of
"Democracy." Let the people Of Ma
ryland elect this ticket upon the plat
form adopted, and it will do mere to
save the Union than a victory in hard
fought battle. All honor, and assured
success to the noble Union men of Ma
ryland! 1t is passing strange that just
as the patriotism Of the South is begin
ming to manifest itself, a contemplate
toryism is insulting the land by its
presence in the North.

The Fitness of Things,

Vallandigham, the tory Congressman
from Ohio, in conjunction with Breck-
inridge, is announced to speak at sevc-

are to be called "peace barbacues." In
order the better to show the ''peace'
sentiment of their gatherings, the "stars
and stripes" are strictly ignored, and
the national airs excluded, lest the
sight and sound should stir up the
hearts of the people into spirit Of war!

pound of hypocrisy and knavery as is
stewing in the conclaves of these un-

Another Secesher Arrested.

Pierce Butler was arrested at Phila-
delphia on the goth inst, as an emmis-
sary of the Southern rebels. He was
arrested in consequence of the inter
ception of letters from him to the rebel
leaders, proving him beyond doubt to be
an accomplice, ana plotting treason to
the Government. 1t seems that nothing
but the insta MT ha nging of these incarnate
devils will stop their plotting. The
forbearance Of the Government seems
only to encourage the rascals. Others
of Philadelphia, high in office under
Pierce and Buchanan, are strongly i'm
plicated, and will probably be arrested
soon

Gen. Rosecrans and the Press.

Gen. Rosecrans has issued the follow
ing general order from Clarksburg, Vir-
ginia, which we sincerely trust will be
obeyed by those concerned. Interest.
ing as it is to get the very latest move
ments of our troops, yet every one must
see that the safety Of our armies, as
well as the success of our arms, is jeop-
ardised by such publications. Here is
the order:
The General commanding the Army
Of Occupation in Western Virginia and
the Department Of the Ohio, invites the
aid of the press to prevent the enemy
from learning through it the position,
strength and movements of the troops
under his command.
Such information is of the greatest
service to the enemy, and deprives the
commander of our own forces of all the
advantages which arise from the secrecy
of concentration and surprise-advan-
tages are constantly enjoyed by the reb
els, whose press never appear to betray
them. (Signed)

Another Tory unmasked.

Jcssee D. Bright, the Democratic

seat BY the most bare faced fraud, and
holds on to it against the protest of the
people, will have to meet the indignant
scorn of every loyal man in America,
even if he is not, as he should be, ar
rested at once. T. B. Lincoln, of Texas,
prominent rebel and officer of the
traitor army, was sent to Cincinnati as
: spy, and aeeomplice of jeff. Davis
After spending some week or two there
he was arrested, and after hearing be-
fore the Z. s. Commissioner, fully COM
mitted for treason. Among his papers
was the following letter from the tory,
Bright, to JEFF. Davis, recommending to
him SIr. Bright's "rcry particular. friend, -
the now-imprisoned traitor. Here is the
