PHASES OF THE WAR.

We doubt if there was ever a war that
presented greater variety of phases-or a
larger number of especial meannesses-than
that which is now being waged in the United
States between the Federal troops, and those
who would subvert the government and erect
a new altar to a strange god of their own
choosing. Secession is a new dogma.
JEFF Davis is the Dagon presented by them
as the object of alteration, and those who
refuse to acknowledge obedience to him
and his counterpart Yancey-are denounced
as reyolters from the true faith, and degen-
crate sons of those who first established liber-
ty in the early English colonies
In Virginia and Maryland, in Kentucky
and Missouri, We see the attempt made to
overthrow the prestige of the N. 4-..- aid
character and place the cavalier above the
puritan. Their movements and their lack of
success in this enterprise is beginning to be
understood. In Virginia, we, the puritans,
have the strength of the United States army
GhNIi t4AC etD4cot captain VI TIC d1Cs III
Maryland we have a legitimate son of New
England puritanism, to protect the true men
of that State. In Kentucky, who can better
protect the rights Of her people than such
men as Holt and Prentice, J. j. Crittenden'
and what is left of the last utterances Of Cas-
sius NJ. Clay? And it is gratifying to US to
see that in the upturnings of new political
life in Missouri, we have as the leading spirit
Of the day, true son of New England in the
person Of Gen. Lyon, of Connecticut.
And how is it of Missouri Our method
ical people of the New England States are
talking bravely Of the slowness of action
of Northern troops under the lead of
General Scott Will they, in like spirit,
support the prompt action Of Gen. Lyon in
the west? Will they take into consideration
the difference of circumstances in his case,
to that OF the leaders of the Northern branch
of the army We are led to think they
will and therefore let us take momentary
glance at Missouri as she now stands.
We are inclined to think that there is no
border State that has so deep an interest in
the coming conflict as that of Missouri. And
yet, what showing does she make? Her
Governor runs away-her Lieut.. Governor
do3ges the fire of the enemy-the Judicial
Court shrinks into an entire insignifcance,
and we find there only few true men to
sustain the principles OF the puritans as
against the boosted cavaliers of the South.
Will the puritans finally triumph We
say they will.
