rhe OBLIGED or the war.

We call attention to an able article which we
copy from the Louisville Democrat in defense of
the neutral position of Kentucky. The Democrat
proposes most significant question: "What is
tae Government to be when preserved2" What
is to be the future policy when the honor and in
tesrity of the Government is indicated? Ii is
the duty of the President, and Congress at its
coming session, TO clearly define the purposes in
view BY those who have control of the Govern
ment- Mr.. LINCOLN and the Republican Congress
have it in their power to develop strong Union
sentiment in the South, and give tho Union
men Of the seeded States firm ground
to stand upon in fighting the battle Of the Union.
If the object in prosecuting this war is for Sec
tional domination, and to strike down the consti-
tutona rights of the States, nothing short Of the
entire subjugation of the South will hold the
Southern States in the Union. If no constitu-
tional rights are to be disturbed, and a guaranty
IS given to this. predict that the war viii be
of short duration. In such contingency, the
Union men Of the South will fight as calamity
for the preservation of the Government as the
Union men Of the North We repeat that it is
due to the whole country that the President and
Congress should unequivocally declare the OBJ
jects Of the war, and the future policy of the
Government.

We cal attention to the discussion and action
of the E-ouse of Representatives on Saturday.
On the report OF the Committee on the Commis-
sary Department. The investigation of the
Committee developed such state of sf-
fairs, that the House, by vote of ayes 20,
nays 0, and two present and not voting
passed resolution that the Governor be
requested to remove the present Commissary
General (IsA1AH MASsuR) for incomPetency and
malfeasance in office" There must have been
unloubted and gross dereliction of duty to have
forced this vote of censure from Republican
House. Mr.. MANsUR is pet of Governor Nor
TOY, and his administration of the Office haaSeen
defended and sustained by His Excellency and
his organ, the Journal. If Democratic official
stood in the shoes of Mr. MANsUR, the Governor
and the Journal would have howled charges OF
corruption against the Democratic party from
one endo the State to the other. Now we sup
pose they viii be as meek as lambs.

For separation.

The Cincinnati Press, Republican, still adro
Gates the policy of separation Of the Northern
and Southern States. 1t thus closes an article in
its issue of yesterday:
We are not for the Union more than reason;
and We have already expressed the opinion that
the people of the North are not. We have here
tofore given our reasons in full, for the belief
which we entertain, that the elements demand a
separation. We have seen in no recent occur
rences a call TO revise old motto of the Press:

DR.. DANIEL LEE, of the Georgia University,
writes to the Albany Atlas and Argns letter,
from which we make the following extract:
The wheat harvest has been some days i'm pro-
gress in the Gulf States, and the crop is one of
the best that has ever been made. About half of
the hands usually employed in growing cotton.
are actively engaged in raising corn. peas oats and
provisions, as well for large army for home
consumption on the plantations. and in cities and
villages. To show the supreme folly of Lin
coins war on commerce and Northern manufac-
lures to spite cotton growers, | ask your atten-
ton to the fact that the planter who had 500,
600 worth of cotton on hand when Lincoln
was inaugurated, can now sell it for tipe thou
sand dollars more than he could then To
injure the planting interest of the Confederate
States ten millions, the sapient men in Wash
ington are willing to damage the commercial and
industrial interests of the North at least three
hundred millions. So long a. the war excite
ment lasts no one is sensible of this injury, but
when that passes of and it is seen that the South
has 100000 square miles of territory which a
million OF armed men from the, North can not
conquer nor hold against twelve millions natives
of the soil, somebody will count the cost of sub
| jugating free agricultural people who have four
millions of industrious slaves to feed and clothe
their brave armies while defending their corn
| fields and firesides. The extreme sparseness OF
our rural population is an obvious protection
against ruinous invasion; while the rich spoils
! OF our implacable, exterminating enemies every.
where invite retaliation. Every man, woman and
child here feels that determination or indepen
dence is certain to ensue from the second John
Brown raid, the progress of Stewards "irrepressi-
BILE conflict"

The Rubicon Passed.

The war news in the telegraphic column this
morning will be found exceedingly interesting.
Yesterday. the United States forces made an ag-
ssressive movement by invading the soil of Vir-
ginia. Some fifteen thousand troops crossed the
Pctomle and took possession of Alexandria The
Rebel forces retreated without offering any re-
sistance An incident occurred in Alexandria,
which caused intense feeling Col ELLSWORTH,
of the Zouayes, was killed by man OF the name
of Jackson, the keeper of hotel at that place.
1t appears that ELLSWORTH had entered the hotel,
and hauled down from the top OF the building a
secession flag As he was coming down stairs
Jackson shot him with fowling piece, killing
him instantly. Colonel ELLSWORTH was highly
esteemed BIZ his friends, and was young
man of fine promise. The President, it is said
IS deeply affected by the event, and every demon
stration ofrespect at Washington and elsewhere
was paid to his memesy. JACKSON was imme-
liately killed by member of the Zouaye regi-
Inent from Troy. In young ELLswoRrH's case it
i. may be truly said
sIhe path Of glory leads but to the grave +"
The Union forces, it is reported, advanced to
Fairfax Court House to take possession of a rail-
road at that point for the purpose of preventing
reinforcements from the Confederate forces at
Richmond. Itwas expected at Washington that
simultar eous attacks would be made upon Har-
rers Ferry and Sewell's Point. If these move
Inents we're made. there was bloody work There
are large bodies of the Confederate troops at both
these places, well entrenched and prepared for
the conflict Gen EouSsox. who had command
of the army in the U al campaign, has charge OF

These movements inaugurate the civil strife

eracy.
The Philadelphia Press speaks confidently as
to the policy of the Administration in regard to
any interpostion on the part of England in recog-
nizing or aiding the Southern Confederacy. Its
issue of Thursday contains article discussing
this question, and it remarks:
Hon. Charles Francis Adams of Massachusetts,
the successor of Mr.. Dallas at the Court of ST.
James. ought to be in London by this time. At
any rate he will arrive in season to be able to
state with distinctness the course of his Govern
ment in regard to the action of European Powers
upon our present difficulties. He is of all men,
singularlv qualified to discharge this duty with
conscientious fidelity and unfaltering courage
We think that it will appear that he has been
authorized to say to Lord John Russell and Lord
Palmerston. that any attempt. directly or indi-
rectly, officially or unoically to treat with or to
recognize the commissioners of the traitors now
in arms against this Government, will be imme-
diately followed by a demand for his passport
and by declaration in the name of the United
States, that all the exequaturs granted to the
British consuls and commercial ageais in this
country will be Immediately forfeited and with
drawn.

ASTOUNDING BANK FRAuDs-Iti is stated that
the examination into the affairs of the Bank of
Albany reveals system Of fraud extending for
many years back, and some astounding develop
ments in regard to the operations of one or two
leading men in the bank will be made in few
days. The attempts which have been made to
"whitewash" certain guilty parties involved will
also be exposed. The books of the bank have
been falsifed in every conceivable way. 1t was
even made to APP ear at the directors meeting
that the deposits of the bank were only $3.50 000
whereas the actual amount was $500 900. Among
other frauds, one note for SOS. 900 Of leading
politician, which was supposed to be paying
set Of the bank, was paid by him seven years ago,
and receipt thereof obtained the interest on this
note was paid by the party interested in making

REVOLVING CASSoS.-The Northern papers
mention a new cannon that has been invented,
consisting of revolving horizontal cylinder or
wheel, containing in its circumference eight cham
bers so arranged that they can be fired in success
sion through the ordinary barrel of cannon. Its
advantages are stated to be that the various op-
erations of swahbing, loading. ramming, and
printing can all be done at the same time in the
dsengaged chambers, as they are brought to the
rear of the gun by the revolution of the cylinder.

The WAR TO END WHERE CHARLESTON Was

message is as follows:
The people will never consent to any cessation

traitors are hung or driven into ignominious
exile. This war begun where Charleston is-it
should end where Charleston nas. The Supreme
Ruler can but smile upon the efforts of the law
loving, Government loving, liberty loving people
of this land, in resisting the disruption Of this
Union. These gathering armies are instruments
of His vengeance, to execute His judgments-they
are His fails, wherewith, on Gods great South
ern thrcshing floor He will pound rebellion for its
sins. ALExASpER W. RANDALL.

Editor Of Daily State Sentinel: a' a
SlR-I see in your paper Of this morning an
account of, as you term it, an indignation meet
ing held in Edinburgh on the 2lst inst, and as it
is entirely untrue. as regards the material facts
therein stated, wish, in justice to the town of
Edinburgh, that you would correct the statement.
As far as can learn, the statement should be rs
follows There was meeting of part of the
company held on that evening, and the company
was informed by Mr. Kelly that the services of
the company would not be needed by the Govern
or at present; that the Captain had been led to
believe, from the previous representations of the
| Adiutant General and Governor, that we should
be needed, and that il was a great disappoint-
ment, after such representations. not to- accept
the company and after the meeting broke up,
some few of the company. none of which, ex
cept one, were residents of Edinburgh, and those
few men being melted by their own bad feelings,
and worse whisky. did get up stuffed figure, but
the officers Of the comTs,ny and the citizens of
the place, almost unanimously, turnel out. and
prevented the further proceedings. And of this
know, for / myself, with others, was up and in
the streets until past IL O'Clock. and until all idea
of burning the effigy was given up. Therefore.
Mr.. Editor, ! hope you will please give this a
place in your paper and also please publish the
name of your informant.
