Fresh troops are daily arriving with firm tread and
brave hearts. inspired with one motive, and intent up
on one object.
The future historian will characterize the present eX-
Aibon of patriotism by the people Of the North as one
Of the most sublime and thrilling that ever eaced the
records Of the world. The nation in The generosity OF

The most bold and senseless rumors, gaining partial
se6enee here appear in Northern journals ss facts cor
yobcrated by unquesoned authority. The most ground
iess and ridiculous that the virginans had stolen
tbe remains of Washington from The dust where he
lived and died Whose crazy brain could ever have in
vented the suggesion1 At such a crisis some men
draw largely upon fevered Imagination or trembling
fear; hillock them presents the brazen font OF
battery; through their ocilatpg lens companies are
rnaep6ed into regiments regiments into brgades, and
briga1es into divisions. Such would evidently

The propensity of the Rebels Of late years TO pnnder

the sentinel may be heard and that the cangor
Of resOunoing and the collision of brothers in con-
Het may never disturb the quiet of the spot On that
ground let there be a truce to plumber as well az
slaugbter.
Let the Northern mind not be needlessy alarmed.
The Capital has been in danger of an invasion

will probably be fought for weeks or months The
Northern soldier will not perish on the field without
ne,e of preparation. When the south wind blows to

Southern traitors also led astray by unques-
sioned authority. A. H. Stephens said in a spec ut
Atlanta, "Our enemies say they only want to protect
the public property and yeti have il from unques-
toned authority that they have mined all the public
buildings in Washington for the purpose of destroying
them;" and when we have destroyed them, he pro-
poses rebuild with greater splendor then, planted
under the auspices Of our superior Institutions
II will live and flourish throughout all ages.
There "a a large share of philosophy displayed In
Dixie land just now. They are jubant and eongrat-
plate themselves the benefits derived from a COM
plete blockade of their ports. TIE Richmond Ezam-
sner of May II says 81" peace with the North
amcable relations between the sections and reduces
the South the practice OF agriculture then the
South will become the least civilized and poorest of all
nations of the Caucasian The least civilized be-
cause abe will practice the fewest Of the belonging
to civilized le and which constitute civilization. The
poorest because she viii have fixed capital in cities
houses factories schools, colleges, universities ships
&e.--httle else but negro cabins and exhausted fields"
Extremely sensible-but how many Northern men
have they murdered for proclaming the same senti-
nentsl The EzaniHer continues: 81 fouryears
blockade would increase wealth and intelligence
four-fod, because should spend money at home
in erecting fixed capital, such constituted the late
wealth OF NOTtD, become lour times he
ened because should learn to practice all the useful
and mechanic as which pertain to and constitute civil
haton." Meek and gentle resignation What for sev-
years has Southern garchs from the
advantages Of policy which will advance their civil
kson and increase their wealth and which is be the
FIRST fruits Of hostile blockade They the
question themselves. Has IL been uaaer The auspices

There need be no lingering doubt as to the policy Of
the War Department; it will be found determined yet
judicous Secretary Cameron is man of ability, with
clear keen perceptions he is supported and guided by
the great experience and military talent of Gen. Scott.
The Department is much embarrassed by the continual
sfer Of troops; while the troops annoyed because

Department Mr. Sanderson, the efficient Chief Clerk,
