Thorough Work.


we nave never aliOWcd ourselves
to doubt that the Administration
however deliberate its incipicnt move
mcuts may be, will make thorough
work in cffacing this rebellion, Just so
soon and just so fast as it can bring
its powers into action. Still, we are
glad to have express confirmation of
the fact, inasmuch as it stimulates
public confidence, and SO far hastens
the consummation dcvoutly to be
wished" The s3, 900 additional troops,
which have recently been called
for by the Government, to serve three
and five years, arc sufficient proof
that the war is entered upon in ear.

traitors do not "comc down"
In support of this indication of
decisive war policy, we find two or
three letters in the New York Eve
ming Post. Mr.. James A. Hamilton
(son of Alexander Hamilton, of illus
trious memory makes the following
explicit statement
am authorized by the President
to say that he is determined to prose-
cute the war begun against the Gov
crnmcnt of the United States, with all
the energy necessary to bring it to
successful termination"
Another correspondent writing re-
Gently from Washington, says:
al dincd alone with member of
the Cabinet yesterday. The tendency
of things is such as will lead to very
grave results in few days. The pol
icy of the Administration is fixed, the
whole power Of the government, and
all the money and men of the West
and North will be used to put down
feDelS ana traltOfS.
Another correspondent, also, who is
said to be in condition to be as fully
Informed of the purposes of the Ad'
ministration rs any one directly be-
longing TO it, says:
Let the country know that the
whole power of the Government will
be brought into rcquisition to sustain
the honor of the country and protect
the capital at any sacrifice of life or
treasure. The policy is definite and
unaltcrable. No peace except upon
the basis of unqualified submission Of
the rebels. No recognition of any
pretended Southern Confederacy. No
peaceablc assent to a separation of
the States"
All right--now let the government
go ahead. The people say to it in the
glorious words of Longfcllow

Our hearts. our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o or our fears,

TAR AND FEArHERs.-We learn that
Mr.. Pettibone, of Howard county, was
tarred and feathered by the people of
Waverly a short time since, for Civ
ing uttcrance to secession sentiments.
Such measures as this are harsh and
in general, can not be approved of,
but it can hardly be expected that We
tolerate rebels in our midst, while
noble and patriotic men are sacrificing
home and friends to put down re-
bellion at distant point.-lttchell

In the procession which accompa-
MED the bodies of the Baltimore mar
tyrs through Boston, on their way to
Lowell, were the two drums which
have long hung in the office of the
Adjutant General in the State House,
one of which was used at Lexington
and the other at Bunker Hill. Then
their martial beat urged on an infant
colony to successful warfare against
their oppressors, and now they were
brought forth once more to lead the
solemn cortege which honored those
who fell in defense of the rights and
principles which at Lexington and
Bunker Hill were vindicatcd and
achieved.

The Baltimore Mob.
A Baltimore correspondent says


alt has been asccrtaincd who the
ringlcadcrs of the mob were. They
are marked men and their lives are
threatened, as is the life of Marshal
Geo. Name, who is a rank secession
list and traitor The leaders of the
mob were all men who have been
turned out of Office After the excite
mcnt had subsidized and the Union men
began to know where they were, and
the Star Spangled Banner was once
more thrown to the breeze, this trail
tor, Marshal Kane, issued orders for all
American flags TO be taken down.
Some took them down without any re-
sistance, but on Federal Hill, flag
was raised when up came a posse Of
Pelican Police and ordered it down,
but it did not come down. One of the
regular police pulled off his coat and
pulled out his pistol and sworc he
would shoot the first man that put his
hand to the halyards to take it down.
The ladies of Federal Hill will put up
a flag on Wednesday, and say they
will support it to the death. Our mill
tary are all under arms, and have been
since the riot. 1t is said here in Bal
timorc that Gen. Scott has ordered
Marshal Kane to arrest the ring lead
ers in the riot and if he does not ne
(Scott) will send on force and arrest
them and him too"
1t is believed that one of the rascals
concerned in the destruction of the
bridges near Baltimore has been dis
covered in Washington. He was ell
trapped by some Northcrners who Wis
tied secession drinking saloon for
the purpose of spotting rebels. He
was, till lately, an engineer on the
Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad,
and is an intimate friend of several
well known Baltimore Plug Uglics.
He is under arrest.

Was anybody killed at Charleston,
is question still unsatisfactory
answered. The son of well known
-four merchant in New York, who was
an unwilling soldier in Fort Moultric,
says that thirty-thrcc men were in
stantly killed, and many more wound
ed, at the very first shot from Fort
Sumpter, and that he himself counted
over two hundred dead bodies in the
fort. He says their bodies were
boxed up at night and buried in
trenches in the negro burying ground
This agrees with other statements
A native of Vermont, residing in
Charleston, wrote to his father in
Windsor county, that in one night
after the attack on Fort Sumpter, ht
assisted in carrying more than two
hundred dead bodies away from the
Floating Battery and from Cummings
Point Battery.

Women in Arms.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says

The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
at is confidently asserted that a
gentleman and his wife have enlisted
in one Of the regiments about to pro-
coed to Washington, and that they
entered their names upon the roll as
brothers. The lady is the exact size
of her husband, and wears suit of
his clothes. She is determined to go
with him through the war, and die by
her husband if need be. They have
no children"
The same paper adds:
"a young lady of most respectable
appearance, applied to Gen. Small,
asking permission to go as a VIVIAN
diere. The dangers and vicissitudes
of such a life were briefly alluded to
by the General, but the young debu-
ta'sts turned ON her heel, contcmptuous-
ly, and remarked that American
girls would do just as we'll as French
girls"

Rough Usage for the Secessionists.

The New York Herald, qualified to
speak officially as to the purpose Of
the Roughs, thus warns Virginia
and Maryland . .a.
We have in the Northern cities at
least three hundred thousand of the
most reckless, desperate men on the
face OF the earth. The Goths and
Vandals who descended upon Rome
and cnsanguined the Tibcr with pa
trician blood were angels, compared
to these fellows, who arc known by
the generic name of "roughs." or
course they are all in for the war, and
the spoils thereof-more particularly
the spoils. They have no stake in
this world, no hope for the future.
They will fight like demons for the
present enjoyment, and where one is
killed twenty more will spring up in
his place. 1t is of such rough mate
rial that all invincible troops are made.
That we are to have a fight, and that
Virginia and Maryland will form the
battle ground, and that the Northern
roughs will sweep those States with
fire and sword, is beyond pcradventure
They have already been excited to the
boiling point by the rich prospect Of
plumber held out by some of their lea.
dcrs, and will not be satisfied unless
they have a farm and niger each.
There is no sort of exagcration about
these statements, as the people of the
border States will shortly ascertain to
their cost. The character Of the COM
ing campaign will be vindictive, fierce,
bloody and merciless beyond parallel
in ancient or modern history.

soldiers killed, but an official an

but one of these names. There is a
