The KnLED AT THE BATTLE or GnEAT
BxrHzL.- The Washington correspondents Of
the Chicago Post, who has just returned from
the battle Geld Of Great Bethel, says: q 81
But the saddest part Of that daeraceful affair
will perhaps never be known. The desd--the
murdered not fall very far short of one
bnndred-- msy reach three hundred. You
have had tho account Of Major Winthrops
death; but the sad story Of the no less gallant
priyates will never be written. They are not
me leus entitled 70 honor, epen In theiy death,
than the gallant officer who tell in this afg,ir;
and it is distressing to know. that even for Q
time the fact Of their being killed will be kept
secret.

0 Some Of the Republican editors OF Ohio
indeed we may say most Of them-appear to
talk about the war and its objects and purposes,
and the terms and only terms upon which it can
be brought to close, with remarkable and
ready confidence and aptness. One would come
to the conclusion, If not otherwise informed, that
these Republican editors were terrible fellows in
peace and in war. that they were statesmen of
the first order and equal to the elder Napoleon
in courage and military skill. J re- 81.
tits amusing to read their daily productions.
They will have this thing done in this way and
that thing done in the other way-and all the
movements, civil and military, must accord
with their dictation. Thus they appear on pa
per; but that ia all, for . more ignorant set Of
scamps could not well DC found, and as for ex-
posing themselves in the Army and entering the
enemy's country, that they will never, never,
do. Such chaps had better "dry up" They
appear 10 very ridiculous lighti and their daily
speculations, propositions and predictions, have
no influence with sensible rejecting people.

IL The following is taken from the New
York Obsesur, a religious paper:
UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION The Constitution
is of more value than all the Presidents, from
Washington to Lincoln; Of more value than
fifty Souths or Norths; of more value than mill
lions of lives or money. And when the daily
newspapers speak OF setting aside the Constitu-
ton because its provisions make the work OF
war too slow, they are preparing the way Tor
another revolution.
n this war cannot be carried on under the
Constitution, then 1t is a wicked war, and the
men who are waging il are tyrants and deepots,
whose feet are on the necks of the people al
ready. One Of the daily papers Of this city. a
leading journal, high In the confidence of the
Administration, thus prepares the way for the
approaching session of Congress-:
"Congress will act as If invested with the
power Of National Convention; for in merely
sanctioniug. what the Executive has already
done, in the levyipg of troops for three years,
in the use of unappropriated moneys for extra
ordinary expenses, and in its appointments, 1t
will have to transcend the authority OF the Con.
stitution. And there can be no hesitation, not
only in approving these acts, but, il necessary,
resorting to other measures equally un"arranted
BY the precise letter Of that instrument"
It may be useless for the friends Of the Con.
stitutiori to raise voice OF remonstrarce at
this stage of the business, and in the present
state of the public mind. But We fear that the
men who propose to set aside first the Govern
ment, and now the Constitution, are preparing
to divide the North and inaugurate another
war, far more tremendous than the one now on
our hands When the American people come
to understand that It is seriously contemplated
to make this war subversive of the Constitu-
tion, they will arise in their majesty, aud in q
way not to be misunderstood, rescue and pre-.
serve the charter of our liberties. These are
perilous times, and the only man fit to be trust
ed is he who stands fast to the letter of the
that makes this cafe and perma'
nent government.

what is to be Done with ar. Harvey

The delay in the case OF Harvey continues to excite in
dignant comment. It has not yet been determined eth
to recall retain him. The Secretary Of the Intero
said day two ago that Mr.. Harvey had done moth
Ing which any loyal citizen might not have done." Blu
am informed the best authority that all the proof
against Thin have not yet been made known to all th
members Of the Cabinet But why the delay in demand
ing their production? There is good reason to believe
that they Of the most damning character Federation
even of such suspicion argues completely in d-
rection at least lack Of proper Of dignity ant
selrespect among some who stand higher than foreign
minister's The people will not be content with hush
Ing up Of this natter to suit the purposes OF any person
or persons whatsoever. Mr. Harvey must be unequivo-
csy exonerated by the facts in the case or recalled
disgrace, the Administration must share In the odium
Of his retention. The delay to in this case together
with the promotion Of the traitor and secessonist Major
Emory, are everywhere subjects Of indignant comment
Unless remedied, they will do more to demoalize the
public service and to weaken the hands Of the Govern
ment than ahe previous reaehery and deseron which
have characterized this rebelllon for the Administration
not content with amid tolerance ofteason openly and
to the disgust Of all loyal citizens, rewards It.
The above is from the New York Tribune,s
Washington correspondent. It would seam,
that the Administration is not content with
showing mild liberation for traitors, but il
really rewarding them!!

The New sepnbiican Agitation.

The Republican papers all over the country
are agitating the question of compromise and
peace. They say it is treason to NEEDLE with
the subject, and yet they are all the time COM
hitting that sort of treason. They spread be-
fore the world what they allege are the secret
plans of consplrators against the Government
for patching up, as they say, dishonorable
peace, and they threaten the Administration
with their direst vengeance, il II shall listen to
any such propositions.
If any proposals tor settlement Of our Ma.
tonal difficulties have been, or should be laid
before the President and his Cabinet, they ought,
in fairness, at least, until the nature of such
proposals is officially made public, to be consid.
cred as competent to decide whether 1t is proper
60 take them into consideration, or to put the
proposals into the FIRE and hang the proposers
as traitors.
There are two classes Of men-the ultra Abo-
ntionis.s of the North and the ultra Secession.
ists OF the Souih-wbo live in perpetual nervous
anxiety and mortal fear lest the war should be
ended before their darling schemes are realized.
They are both bent on one Of two things-eithsr
that the Government shall be administered ac-
cording to their sectional standard, or the Union
dissolved. Any peace or compromise effected
without accomplishing one or the other of these
paramount objects, will in their view be dis
honorable and reasonable. And he who, in
either section shall dare propose cessation Of
the war on any other terms than those these ex
tremists dictate, will be pronounced traitor,
aud his immediate execution demanded, either
at the hands OF the Government or Of mob,
Between these two classes of sectional ultra
lists are interposed the great mass Of the people
the true Union-loving men Of the country
These are firm, united and inexorable in on'
determination-to diseountenance all sectiona
agitation, and to have peace restored wheneyei
the Rebels shall lay down their arms and returI
20 their allegiance to the Constitution and tn
laws. They will not listen to, and do not wisl
to be troubled with, any plans of compromise
into which this acquiescence In and submission
to the Constitution and laws does not enter a
the main condition. They, are willing, as the.
always have been, TO coneede something for th
sake Of peace; but not one single principle en-
bodied in the Constitution. ~ s sssy z g.

This question Is common; but as yet the only

commences on the 4th of July. 9e,

The Republican press is ."vilely" bitter
against Mr.. CurrErDEH, because il is said he
proposes to offer some proposition at the extra
session Of Congress looking to settlement Of
our national troubles, and may put an end to the
war. This was to be expected. Some days sinct
We said, ave make the prediction-that in .
very short time the "irrepressible" Republicans
who are pretending to be Union men par ezeel-
lencs will be bitter in their denunciation of tho
Union men who have been elected" etc. ou
prediction has been verified much sooner thar
we expected. .w lk1a

misers." and then proceeds to pour out its vial
of wrath on Mr.. CRIrrEsDrs's gray head, ant
all those who think with him, and have beer
elected as Union men in Kentucky. 7s ~
Now there Is nothing more clear, than tha
all this apparent rejoicing BY the Republican,
over the Union victory in Kentucky, is the mos
