Do uone' Accordingly we copy its remarks
on that subject in full :-----
We have never regarded Virginia as the
real battle-ground for the winning of the
night which is to guarantee separate and in
dependent existence of these States, but
none more earnestly or zealousIy urged the
prompt and early transmission of every dis
possible soldier there, perceiving, as we
could not fail to do, that, owing to its prox-
unity to Washington, the Federal govern
ment would concentrate in the first stages
of revolution it's most imposing force.
This view was correct then and fully and
speedily vindicated by the action of the Lin.
coin government; but now it is equally
clear and evident that the war upon the
Potomac is secondary to the main object,
and were the enemy driven over the river,
as he should be before November, if possible,
In future little annoyance need be there ap.
pretended. The West win be the real the
alter of war. Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio and Missouri will have within their
boundaries those terrific conflicts Of arms
which sooner or later must determine wheth-
er the South is to be the tolerated query of
the North, or both shall remain forever
separate and distinct nationalities. The
sooner, consequently, the marching up the
tons on the Eastern frontier of Virginia
are brought to a termination, the earlier
can our armies be consolidated, and the
area Of the war brought into manageable
proportions, and the war itself be more
easily maintained. By compelling the
enemy to transfer his camps to the states
we have named, We, in common with him,
shall derive susteutation for our troops from
their abundant stores, and cease, until the
South has had time to develop her resources
energetically and fully, competing with our
own population for food in our markets.
We cannot anticipate any real deficiency,
but we cannot conceal from ourselves that
in making the, transitions the war has forc7s
ed upon US, and which ultimately will prove
real blessings, Inconvenience, serious and
trying may be experience in the supply of
the service population. Even that, howev-.
err will not embarrass if we can only trans
fer the war from the Potomac to the Ohio,
and winter the great bulk of our forces in
the State of the latter name, rather than in
the exhausted and not superahundantly pro-
ductive region lying between the Provision
al Confederate and Federal capitals To at
tain these ends it has seemed TO many IN
wise to play the waiting game, and obsfin-
ately refuse to push the enemy vigorously
in order to transfer the seat of war from his
extremities to his vitals, from country
which cannot support any army, large or
small, to one abeundiug In ineKhaustble
agricultural. edibles and where the suffer
ings, privations and Affections of war would
fall upon its authors rather than upon those
| who had no fundamentally in its prOduc-
tons, nor wish for its prolongation.

Another Fight.
FEDERAL TROOPS VICTORIOUS.


On Friday night last, about 800 of the
9th Regiment, Illinois volunteers, under
the command of Major Phillips, accompa-
MED by the gupboat Conestoga, asceuded
the Cumberland river to a place in Lyon
county, KY, called Saratoga, and at sunrise
Saturday morning, surprised about 200 ret.
els under command of Capt. Wilcox, CONF
Pletely routing them. The loss on the rebel
side is eight killed, number wounded and
forty taken prisoners. The only damage on
our side Is three slightly wounded. The
Federals captured SO guns, two wagons
loaded with provisions and so horses and
mules. We learn in addition, that the
rebels were organized into two companies,
commanded respectively by Capts. Wilcox
and White, both of whom were killed in
the action.
The traitors in Kentucky and Missouri
seem to be considerably harrassed by the
activity and courage of the Uaion forces in
those States.

So The louisville Journal of Satur-
day, says;
Kentucky will have her quota OF the half
million volunteers called for by Congress
ready for the field long before many of the
other States That quota will be about
5000.
All that sounds very nicely, but if recruit
ing does not progress with any more ra-
Pidity in Kentucky for the next six months,
than it has latterly, the "quota" of Ken
lucky will never be filed. We would be
under obligations to any one who will point
out to us single full regiment in the State,
composed of Kentuckians. We know of
Kentucky officers enough to command all
the regiments formed in the West.

DIGNITY REDUKED.-We have never seen
dignity Of the sort that prevails to so great
an extent among certain classes Of our cti.
zens, more completely at discount than
one morning 90 board one of the ferry
boats plying between this city aud Oakland.
A dapper youth ia kids, with evidently a
lofty opinion of himself, came on board ev-
cry morning at certain hour, with AN
ivory topped cane in one hand and a small
japanned tin cash.box dangling from the
other. And after selecting the most con.
spieuous seat, where the prettest women
were collected. he busted himself in assum-
ing attitudes and making cOnquests, until
the boat reached the pier, when with a look
intended to be imposing he would convey
himself ashore. On this occasion, Starch
had struck an attitude as usual, and was
getting along finely when suddenly the tin
box being negligently fastened, fell away
from the cover, and out tumbled, not ro-
lean of gold or n bundle of bank certili'
Gates. but-a small roll of bread and a sau-
sage Since that occurrence Starch divides
the period Of transit about equally between
the forward deck and the pilot-house.-[S.

There are no States, In the Union or out

maintenance ofpeace, order, aud good gov
ernment as Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee,
Kentucky, and Missouri. Of oil the States
Nature has done most for them. God Gre
ated them the garden of the continent.
Blessed with soil OF unusual fertility, aud
climate exquisitely adjusted between the
extremes of heat aud cold, they enjoy the
advantages Of both the northern aud the
southern meridiaHe, aud have, If their peo-
pie do not prevent Providence, greater
future than any other part of the country.
They can grow everything, from The North
ern potato aud apple 10 the Southern cot
compliant, the grape, and the fig. Their soil
over!les miles of ores of various kinds
iron, gold, copper, lead, and coal. They
stretch in an unbroken line from the great
waters of the interior to the great ocean
which washes the continent. II they main
tain public order aud good government,
their latitude must render their railroads
the great avenue between the West and the
East. Their climate is so admirable that il
is miracle they have not absorbed the
whole population of the continent. To

i"""' ihS uuuet Tue keuihi SUI OF virginia

State, with no winter snow-storms no sum-
mer dOg-days, no deadly epidemcs, no
frightful struggle with Nature for existence
bot just such a rotation of seasons as gives
relish to each, and tempts the earth TO
bring forth her regular increase. George

with visions Of the future glories of bis ma
tive soil, and Of the possible predominanco

Mr.. Gregory and the American Crisis.

Mr.. Gregory and the American Crisis.
Some weeks ago an item of news was re-
ceived from England, to the effect that MIR.
Gregory, a member of the House of Com
mons, had advocated the recognition Of the
Southern Confederacy es an independent
Government. The Londoa American, of
April Sd. TINS refers to the matter:
"President Davis" never made greater
mistake politically than to entrust the Sc.
crets of his embryo secession movement to
the honorable member for Galway, Mr.
Gregory. The speech Of that gentleman in
the House Of Commons in May last, soon
after his return from America, will be re-.
membered by many of our readers. Since
the delivery of the speech, noticeable only
for its misrepresentation Of American char
acter and American institutions. II has been
ascertained that General Davis was the po-
litcal teacher of the honorable member dn-
ring his brief visit in the federal capital.
The pupil was not promising one, but he
was the only one accessible to the sagaciOus
and astute General; and TO this training
Parliament is most probably indebted for
that remarkable saying, that large por.
ton Of the American people were in favor
of introducing monarchical institutions.
Mr.. Gregory made a secession speech in
Parliament last May; and he followed that
speech by notice 10 the House, the pres
ent session, that he was about to offer res0-
lntons recognizing The independence Of the
Southern confederation That General Da-
Wis instigated these steps is a matter of con.
lecture; that the plan Of secession was laid
before the member from Ireland, when on
bis American visit. is unquestionable. A
week residence in this metropolis will dis
close to the Commissioners, who are not
only statesmen, but politicians, that Gen.
Davis has made an unfortunate choice of an
English parliamentary champion.

PREDICTED TwEETY-FoUR YEARS AGO.
II Is remarkable fact that tho present se-
cession movement was foreshadowed Just as
it has occurred in a work called the "Part-
san Leader" attributed TO the pen of Judge
Upshur. Of Virginia, who was killed by the
bursting Of the Peacemaker. In that worli,
under the guise of novel, ii was professed
that coming events were described. The
Gulf States, II was described, had seeded
10 consequence Of the election Of North
ern President, and Virginia and other bor-
der States were about following suit. An
attempt was made to form treaties with for
eign nations, and free trade was established
which gave the South an unexampled ca
reer Of prosperity. The current Of events
twenty-fOnr years later has given these pre-
dictions the form of fulfilled facts. The au-
thor only foresbadowed however, what was
in the minds Of the leading politicians at
that early day. and to prepare the way for
which was the object Of publishing the
work.

For GOyERNOR.-Of late there has been
some casting about for Governor, on ac-
count Of the letter written by Gov. Downey
to the San Francisco Union Demonstration
Committee. Without disparaging any claims
or pretensions Of others TO that Oh Office,
we offer to the people, for their considera-
ton, the name of one Of the most uncon-
ditional and unequivocal Union man in the
country, and one, too, With the ability and
integrity to honor the position; we refer to
our esteemed fellow-citizen, Major John
Bidwel. We vouch for bis being firm
and reliable man, in any crisis.-[Butte

THE SECESSION MARINE.-Quite number
of steamers have been seized by the New
Orleans Secessionists for Southern navy.
The entire line of steamers plying between
New Orleans aud Galveston, owned BY
Chas. Morgan Esq, OF New York, have also,
fallen into the hands of the Secessionists.
There are twelve of them, side-wheeIed, and
the following are nearly their average d.
mensions: two hundred and twenty feet 10
length. They draw from eight TO ten feet
water, as they are loaded. One of them,
the Hughes. is a new vessel, of fine model
and staunch construction. She carries en-
gines ifty-two inches diameter Of cylinder
and eleven feet stroke. The Florida, a
screw propeller, similar TO the Norfolk, has
been seized at Apalachicola. The Havana,
a screw propeller Of similar size and build.
bas been seized in New Orleans II will
thus be seen that the rebels are already in
possession Of a formidable marine, which,
like their funds, forts and arms, they have
cbivalrously stolen.
