"1Vc are yet willing TO compromise for
the sake of q settlement Of our troublcs.--
Peace, we say let us have pcacc?" Such
is one of the arguments used by those OPP
posed to the policy of the present Admins
tration and they are the Same mon who dur
ing last summer and fall proclaimed the
wrongs of the sccodng States, and said that
Northern aggression would justify the step
they have taken. They are the same men
who mculcatcd the idea that the North dare
not attempt to execute laws in the South,
under pains of n rebellion ut home, and il
was this very belief that did moro than any
thing else to prccipitatc the great rebellion.
They are the same mcu who palliatcd the
crimes of the thieves who prcyod upon the
treasury at Washington and OF the robbers
who seized on mints, forts arscnals and 9th
or public property, calling these acts indis-
cretions, ard hoping nothing would be done
to provoke or excite the perpetrators. They
are the same who rent their lungs in cries
of non-coorcion, giving aid and comfort TO
those who havo all along betrayed their
country; breeding and encouraging civil war
in order to overthrow it, and opposing eve
ry step for putting down the rebellion, in
order that it might hc successful; these are
The mon who are now crying peace, ostcnsi-
bly, for the same purpose. Is it peace they
want, or the destruction of the government?
The latter is the peace they want. They
appeal to the government for peace; Go they
appeal to the rebels? no, They send pcti-
tions and emissarics to Washington; do they
send any to Richmond? no. They denouncc
Mr.. Lincoln as tyrant and a violator of the
very Constitution he il trying TO preserve;
do they say yonything against the rebel choII
no. The fact is, these men pretend to love
the people, when in reality they only wish
to give aid and comfort to the enemy, and
plot schemes for the advancement of Their
party They mean to deceive; but they fail
The thin veil of hypocrisy, with which they
attempt to cover themselves, is easily seer
through by every true patriot.

ssA WlIianrY EpcsnOatsr,l., =,

The Democratic journals profess to he OK
cccdingly fearful lest the mastering of volm-
tecrs to defend the Government shall result
in military dcspotism. The Gazette truth
fully remarks that they never had any fears
OF military despotism when jeff Davis
was raising his troops and attacking the
Government, while il was passive. Butthe
moment the Government declined to submit
TO lave it's capitol captured, they became
panic-sUicl,cn with fear of military dcspot-
ism.
But what are the materials out Of which
this military dospotism is to be constructed,
Our troops are volunteers, and the same
journals are fond Of telling us that more
Democratic than Republicans have volun-
tccrod, and moro Democrats than Republi-
cans are in the leading commands. Then it
seems that this military dcspotism which
Democratic journals apprchcnd is to be set
up by Democratic troops and Democratic
Generals. OF course these journals did not
stop TO put these two stories together, one
of which is,iust rs true as the other.

Secession vote OF Virginia.

GOV, Lotcher, the rebel tyrant who nearly
succeeded in choking the voice of the pco-
pie in Eastern Virginia, announces vote
of l25000 for secession and 10000 against.
in that locality, The former includes, no
doubt, the vote of all the rebel soldiers i'm
ported into that State, which are said TO
number about $4,000. This would reduce
the actual rebel vote to $4,000, if We include
the 1000 cast in Western Virginia. Take
the 10000 votes above named and the 35,
200 Union vote of Western Virginia, and we
have total of so ,200-leavmg a secession
majority in the State of Al 500 But it must
be remembered that all those who voted
for secession east of ihe mountains, did 50
at the point of the boyorct; while others
preferred secession to coercion and voted
accordingly. 1t is safe to say that the rca
sentiment Of Virginia is three to one in ia
yor Of the Union.

Cen. scott.

The Providence Jomnm learns from COOP
authority, that Gen. Scott has not suffered
himself and will not suffer himself TO be hur-
riod by tho olamor of newspaper correspond
ents, editors, and others, to any steps which
his own deliberate judgment condemns as i'm
prudent or premature. The army corrcspon-
dent of the Christian Waichman and Bcllcc-
tor relates the following anecdoto of the
Generals:
"Thc Lord be praised for cndowing one
man in this fast, bustling Rge, with the
graccs of silence and patience. Even the
IIomoric Jovc is not more sublime than Gen.
Scott at this hour, calmly gathering his
thundcrbolts. Said gentleman to him the
other day, General the people arc impatient
for results. Yes, sir, know it, he replied,
but they expect successful results. War is
my profession; have made it the study of
a life, and am not to old TO learn. War
sir, requires money, mon, time and patience.
And with emphasis, President Lincoln has
assured me that shall have all these. Then,
more playiully, he continued, 'to march an
army and then retreat, consumes shoe lcath-
cr, and that for the body of men under my
charge is an important consideration

Surprising.

The Newark Im0'icm says some of the
Southern papers are chastsng the military
vigiloncc as proved 10y the many times they
have been surprised and donc for, Andcr-
sons move from Moulrie to Sumter was q
surprise; Slcmmor's occupation of Piclicns
was a surprise; Lieut., Thompson's charge at
Fairfax Was surprise; the capture of Camp
jackson at st. Louis 10y Lyon was n sur
prise; the gallant affairs at pualli, Philippi,
Romncy and Winchester were surprises;
and the flight of GOV, Jackson, the conduct
Of Price, and the running of rebels at Boon
Vile were surprising above measure; but
the greatest surprise Of all is that in store
for the rebel chief, jeff. Davis.

Secretary Reports.

The reports of the Secretaries of the
Treasury and War will be found on the first
page. The former gives us the condition
of our national finances, and the latter de-
tails, in clear and condensed form, the mill
tary operation of the Government thus far
1t pays just tribute to the zeal and eificien-
cy OF the volunteers, and makes telling hit
at the rebels by the citation of passage
from Floyd's report as Secretary of War, in
which that functionary, in treating of the
Utah expedition, dwells with much force on
the power and duty Of the Government to
use coercion for the suppression of rebellion
under all circumstances.

been raised, and are found to be but little
damaged. The rebels are also fishing the
guns out of the hlrbor, and mounting them.
They are a little rusty bat otherwise per-

able to explain the motives for his prccipi-

explained, except upon Tie hypothesis Of
great fear, and temporary suspension of the
