What are 10 judge from the Geographic reports
is more than we can say. We must confess that IN
spite of the hatone of rdcule with which its frequent
iteration and frequent failure has connected the idea
OF any early operations the Potomac the impression
does grow upon minds that at last the thing is real
ly approaching The only apprehension We can have Is
that our people overconfdeut Unless this leads to
care essness we have no fears Mcclellan is very eau
tious in bis advances but circumstances are press
ing him forward and he is evidently obeyiDg that
pressure. We cannot take reports or speculatous
for gospel but circumstances may afford much
more solid basis whereupon to found opn-
ion We must think that these circumstances justify US
in believing that there is something more than the
old song in the mutterngs Of distant thunder in the
direction of Transport and Centreville.
More Federal vessels have gone South. Will they
pay their respects to Gene al Bragg? We think not

There,ispne good aud relieving feature

A writer in the MY. World, in giving
the record of Englaud's treatment of Ire
laud draws a parallel between her conduct
towards that unhappy land and onr own
and he says that the treatment which Eng

justified to the letter that remarkable ex-

track Ireland through the statute-book, as
you'd follow a wounded man through a

language of Sidney Smith : So great and 50

as one of.the most prominent patrons ofarei

TIE Washington, Pa, Examiner copies
this paragraph from the Inttuigeneer:
"Tbereis this fact to be remarked in the

SO to make it a rule of observation"

as, follows:

cratic party. instead of taking Al fearless
stand in vindication of the honor and dig
nifty of the Government (es it has in every
instance done), had taken the opposite po-
sition suppose the Erdminer, instead of
justifying the arrest of the rebel Ambassa-'
doris, had declared that Capt. Wilkes had
done .wrong-that bis act-was an outrage

is something very suspicious, and as we
took pains to telIsthe Examiner before, we
say ii in all good feeling. about its con-
tiuued mani fest uneasiness lest its position
should be misunderstood on the Union
question. Aicertain satire that Pope wrote
about certain lady who made much ado
other virtue, would apply, with very slight
modification; to the Examiner
our.remhrks as quoted were, ia conuec-
tion with others, aimed at people of the
Yallandigham school, who all at once, in
most indecent haste, feel called upon to
press the necessity of q war with, England.
The motives of such people, it was our
aim to show. were very suspicious and
very treacberous. People who can not
sustain their country with their whole
soul, when armed rebellion menaces it, are
among the last who should pretend to
patriotism hen that country is threatened
from abroad. Aud it is because that We
fear the latent purposes of such people, in
connection with the rebellion, that We
most earnestly hope that the country win
turn deaf ear to all. their pretended pat+
riotism, as against EpgIand. He that is
Iuufaithful in little vii. be unfaithfal in
