The NEWS.

From Washington and vicinity, with the
exception of the continued rapid concentration
Of troops, and the active operations of General
Mcclellan in organizing and giving efficiency
to our army, we have nothing of especial im-
portance. There are the usual quantity Of ex-
travagaut rumors current as to the movements
and designs of the rcbcIS; but whatever they
may think Of doing, they have not yet at
tempted to cross the Potomac or moiest our
forces occupying the Virginia side of the
stream from Alexandria to Harpcr's Ferry,
and it is not likely that having so long defer
red the threatened advance they viii now IN
dertake it.
Missouri is at prescnt the point where inter
est especially centers, and where important
movements are most likely to occur. On Fri
day last Gen. Lyon Uet aud routed strong
force of rebels under Ben. Mccullough in the
South western part of the State. and another
contest between the same parties seemed i'm
mincnt at last adrices. The anticipated bat.
tie in the nrighbOrhOod of Cairo has not yet
come tf. Though near at hand in strong
force, the rebels have not dared to attack our
forces; Gen. Fremont is making gigantic ef
forts to meet them; every hours delay adds
to his strength and unless they soon advance
he will doubtless force them to fight or run
by attacking them.
Many interesting details and incidents o
the battle Of the 2lst ult will be found in oul
columns to-day.

Nallandigham is denounced by the Hami-
ton Telegraph, one Of the most prominent
Femocratic papers in his own district, as ian
aTrant q traitor at heart as jeff. Davis him
self and in this view nine-tenths of the honest
and patriotic Democrats of the State heartily
concur. The late speech of this worthy in
Congress, which was a labored effort in de-
nHnciation Of the war and every effort of the
government to prosecute it, with not word
in condemnation of the traitors of the South
who forced it upon the country. is lauded in
the highest terms possible by the Charleston
Courier, the New Orleans Picayune, and all
the prominent secession papers of the South,
who give it a wide circulation through their
columns. Mod,rys Crisis, which is striving
for recognition as the Democratic organ of
the State, and is commended by certain simon
pure partizans of that school in the eastern
portion of our county as sheet eminently
deserving of the encouragement and support
of the people of Ohio, thus endorses that
reasonable production
"I'HE SPEECH OF Mr. VAIIANpIGHAM.- We
do not know that we ever published speech
that has been so commended as that Of Mr..
Vallandigham, in the last number Of the
Crisis. There is great desire that it should
be read by every voter in Ohio. We have
no spare copies from our files of that number
as it would break the whole volume"
This same Crisis is thus properly rebuk-
ed for its Extraordinary course in the present
contest by its contemporary "The Capital City
Fact" which in the last Presidential cam
paign was the Breckenridge organ of the
State, but is now nobly supporting the govern
ment in its efforts to crush treason and suppress
rebellion:

The people of the rebel States are
living under a despotism as rigid and
remorsclesS as that of Russia. The
n. Y. Post says:
"Some weeks ago it was stated
that in several of the Southern States
acts had been passed confscating the
property of Southern citizens, vi o
were then at the north, unless they
instantly returned with their entire
families. To-day a case has come to
our knowledge where Southern gen
tlCman, whose wife and daughters
have resided ia the north every sum
Fncr for many years, has been com
pellad. lY tilreatS of e0nfscation, to
send Eor them to come Immediately
south. This case does net stand
alone. From Chicago We learn that
two southern families residing there
have Just been called home by the
same demand; and it is known that
southerncrs arc now staying in Cana
da to keep out of the way of formal
requisition, hoping that thus their cs-
fates may escape"

The World says truly that
There never has been a more striking il
Iusllaiiou Of the elasticity of the Northern
mind than Us changes within the last week
Seven davs ago it was under the most stun
ming shock il ever experienced. II was smit-
ten, when least expecting, with the news Of a
most shameful overthrow. Not simply that
the day Of battle had gone against the North,
though that would have been startling enough,
but that the soldiers Of the North hal fed
from the field pranic-stricken-an event which
no Northern man had conceived possible. The
shock was all the greater because all previous
intelligence had induced confident assurance
of success. The reaction was terrible. Never
was Northern spirit bowed so low as on that
memorable Monday Of sorrow and shame.
On this next Monday what do We sces This
same people Greet, and full of hope. more res
O'ute than ever, and bracing every muscle for
action. The SORROW and humiliation of week
ago now only shows itself in a calmer and
yteadier bearing-in wise self possession and
cool prudcnce that were quite unknown in the
first period Of the struggle. We have recov-
cred frum all the i'll effects Of the humiliation,
and have turned the momcntary alversity into
a positive source Of renewed strength. As a
friend from Boston writes, everybody's face
looks more like hiut than ever There could
be no sarer proof that our character. as q eS-
pie, still r.taias its great original elements
that we have not essentially degeneTatcd from
tie grand old revolutionary stock. 1t has
been thorough ordeal, and every true friend
Of the country M ) we'll thank God for it, and
take fresh courage.

The secession papers do not regard the re-
pulse Of the Union forces at Bull Run as a
decisive victory. Their Civilizations are ming
led with regrets that their victory is so barren
of results in consequence of their inability TO
follow it up, and are troubled with appreheu-
sions that it will but the more thoroughly
arouse the North and speedily be followed by a
second advance of our troops in overwhelming
force. Remarking upon the battle OF the

visions enough to feed an army of So
900 men for twelve months :!
Now the facts are these, there were
but 40 pieces of Federal artillery in

There is no longer any doubt that
the object of the Rebel savagcs in
clinging so tcnaciously to Federal
prisoners is to have it in their power
to rctaliatc fcarfully upon the Gov
ernment in case the piratical crews
captured on privateers shall be execut-
cd. as they deserve. The numerous
secessionists who yet remain as large
as life in Washington do not hesitate
to state that Congressman Ely and
other prominent loyalists held as pris-
Oncrs in Richmond at this time, are
kept as hostages for the tender treat
