WASHINGTON Cry, May 22, 81.
Dear Telegraph:-You will doubtless
think that one ought to be able to send
you great deal of news from here; but
really we who are outsiders, are obliged
to go to the New York papers, ourselves,
for what information we get. We see
troops parading our streets by thousands,
witness almost daily the arrival of new
regiments, enjoy the best Of music from
most excellent bands, but know nothing
as to the wItcn or the ,chuher of the de-
parture of any of them. Doubtless some
forward movement must be in contem-
plation, for Washington is no longer
neuaced, and yet troops are still pouring
in with upwards Of thirty thousand al
ready here. Many complaints are made
by warlike civilians from the Northern
States, because some bold stroke is not
made in Virginia, like that Of Gen. But
Icr, at Baltimore, and Capt. Lyons, at St.
Louis. Even the National Republican,
of this morning, in leader which en-

equal to a Revolutionary emergency.

his speech with the sentiment, "Consti

The kanawha Republican is "Union'
paper i'll its way. But in its issue of the
21st ult it has an article that strikes US
as rather singular. 1t is we'll known
that the subject Of sending a force of
United States troops to the head of the
hanawha for the purpose of holding the
rebels of Eastern Virginia in check, has
been freely canvassed in the papers and
in military circles. In view Of this the
RepnbLicaa says:
+" We learn that the good people of
Fayette and Grtenbricr are much excited
just at this time, by rumors of an inva-
sion from Ohio through the Valley Of
kanawha. Wcwould say to our friends
up in the mountains, that such an inya-
ding force from Ohio. or any other quar-
ter, ,ooah hare to pass over the dead body
Of ecery Union man IN Mts Voliey, before
ii could reach the Falls of Kanawha.-
We leave our Secession friends to speak K
for themselves
Now this, if we understand it, means
that the Wcstcrn Virginia Union men,
of the Republicans stripe, will, to man,
die in defense of the Eastern Secession
lists, rather than have the Government
check their operations. We-le.not be-
lieye the RepaIiicaazspeaks The senti-
ments of the people Of Western Virginia
But if it does, the pretended Union men
are greater traitors than the open rebels.
T. S.-Since writing the above we
have received the address of Gen. Nc
Clellan "to the Union men of Western
Virginia, which is published in another
column. From this it will be seen that
troops are to be sent "to the Mountains
through the kanawha Valley" What
will the Republican do about it? VIII
he compel these troops to pass over his
dead body? Will Gen. Mcclellan have
to trample on the "dead bodies" of all
the Union men in the Valley before he
can get at the professed rebels? The
editor must either be a Secessionist at
heart, or has made most unfortunate
blundor in the extract we have quoted.
We would fain hope it was but an un-
considered paragraph, and does not ex-
press the real sentiments Of the editor
or the people

coaIXc TO THEIR SENSES.

The st. Lonis Republican, which has
given aid and comfort to the secession
ists in a sneakins way, has. at last, been
brought to "a realizing sense" of its po-
s;tion. In an address to the people of
that State it reviews the position of Mis-
soari, surrounded on three sides BY the
powerful ana loyal Free States Of Hi
hois, Iowa and kansas-that the great
city of ST Louis is uaelterably attached
to tl,e Union-that the German popula-
ton throus hout the State are deadly
hostile to secession tho United
States Government is determined at all
hazards to maintain its supremacy, and
has, to that end, stationed an irresistible
force in aud uron the borders of the
State, &c. 1t shows conclusivcly that
the effort of the Governor and Legisla-
ture 10 precipitate the State into revolu-
tion can only result in the utter ruin of
those engaged in the efrort--tLatiu in these
circumstances 1t would be utter folly and
madness to hore for success against the
power of the Union. It therefore calls
upon the people to submit to necessity
which they cannot resist, and cease their
Efforts to destroy a Government which
has the means to crush them into ami
hilation, and which will doubtless use
those means if necessary to the accom-
plishment of its purposes.
This shows return Of sanity on the
part of tie editor, and the advice, VIC
think, will be needed by the people. 1t
is becoming manifest, even in the South,
that the hope of aid from the Free States
is a delusion. Hence the changed tone
of :he EepuJlicGn.

you, and through your paper, others,
that Syracuse has, at last, made mani
fest her sentiment, by raising a Union
flag, and organizing Home Guard.
A few days since, notice was given
that few Of our most liberal and patri-
otic citizens had procured flag, which
they intended to raise on pole, pro
vided a suitable one could bc found for
the occasion.
\ Committee was Immediately dis
patched to the woods to procure pole
The pole was soon found, and was con-
sidered by all, to be suitable, as we'll as
appropriate 1t was Of hickory, and
measured eighty-seven feet in hight.
The pole was delivered at the place
designated for the raising ofthe hag, by
Isaac Carleton, Sr. After some little
prepar ton, the pole was raised, and
made to stand true and firm, towering
toward the skies. Saturday, May 18th,
at two o'clock was the time appointed to
raise the Stars and Stripes to the top of
the pole. at the appointed. hour the
citizens turned out en- nlasSe in honor OF
the occasion, aud to show their respect
for the Constitution and the laws.
The flag was raised amid the cheers
of the crowd, and the band playing
"Yankee Doodle
/ After the flag was raised, the company
marched to grove close by. and listened
to speech from Mr.. II. l.. Sibley, which
in every respect was interesting, instruc-
+ tive, and suited to the occasion.
At the close Of his speech, three cheers
were called for the Union, and three for
the speaker, which were heartily given

racuse has been backward in making

Dreadful.
IF the following, which we clip from
the Mobile Register, is true picture of
:he result Of the present contest, we
would recemmend that Lincoln and Gen
Scott make the best terms of peace
possible with the rebels Perhaps JEFF.
Davis would he satisfied if Lincoln
should resign and give him his seat, and
the people of the Free States consent to
wear collars with their masters name
on. We may have to do worse than
that if compelled to accept the terms of
peace dictated to US at the gates Of Bos-
ton, as is threatened. But to the Reg
:ster's article. Here it is:
stWoe be to the Northern battalioas
that meet the first sheck and outburst of
the fiery yalor and fierce indignation
that have fused in one compact mass the
entire Southern mind and heart. If the
war last three years, the terms of peace
seiU be dictated at the gates Of Bostoss.-
But the war will not last so long. The
day is not distant when the North will
sue for peace. Until it does, the policy
as well as the will Of the South is to
give them war to their hearts content
war to the knife and to the hilt.

THE LATEST NEWS.

We have news from Washington and
other points to the 28th. We could
fll the Telegraph with the rumors and
speculations, which cause SO much SEN
saton but until something definite has
occurred, it does not seem useful to pub
lish reports only to contradict them in
the next issue.
The most serious item is conflict Of
jurisdiction between the civil and mill
tary authorities. Gen. Cadwallader,
| Commander of the o. S. forces at, and
near Baltimore, succeeded in arrestlng
John Merriman, the leader Of the band
of rebels who burnt the bridges, and tore
up the railroads, to prevent the U. s..
Troops from reaching Washington.
Merrilnan WAS detained by Gen. Cad
wallader, in Fort McHenry, awaiting
trial for his crimes. Judge Taney, OF
Dred Scott memory, issued a writ Of ha-
Jcas corpus, commanding Gen. Cadwal-
lader to bring said Merriman before
him, (Judge fancy } evidently with the
intention Of discharging him. Gen.
Cadwallader declined to obey the writ
| until he could hear from the President,
when he informed the Court that he
would make definite return to the writ.
| The Judge refused to wait, and imme-
diately issued an attachment against
Gen. c. for contempt. But the Mar
shall was refused adm;ttance to Fort
McIIenry, and consequently could not
arrest the Gen. The Judge said he
would call on the President for Military
force to take the Gen. And here the
matter rested at the last account.
We suppose if the President does not
call out another army to arrest the Gen
eral Of the army now in the field, at the
command Of the immortal Taney, orders
will be issued to have him arrested and
punished for contempt. 1t is convent
ent, certainly, for the traitors to have a
sympathizer in the ofice cf Chief JUS
tice Of the United States.
No great battles have yet occurred.
But from the note Of preparation and
rapid movements Of troops, it cannot be
many days before decisive blow will be
struck
Western Virginia, on Thursday last
gave noble vote for the Union Her
true hearted sons deserve, and they will
receive, the cordial support, as we'll as
sympathy of all true and loyal citizens.
1t means something to be true in Fir-
ginia. 1t is not yet known how the
State voted, as Eastern Virginia has not
been heard from.
We suppose as soon as the vote Of the
West is ascertained, the Secessionists
will get up whatever majorities are
necessary to overcome it. Men whose
souls are stepped with perjury and bro
ken VOWS, as preparation for treason to
their country, will not be out-voted whe n
little forgery and false swearing will
give them the victory. But it will only
sink them the deeper.

4 Sign Of the Times.
The Kanawha Republican of the 21st.,
says:
"At the County Court, yesterday, Mr..
E. S. Arnold, Sheriff, resigned his office,
and an election of his successor ordered
for the 10th of June next. Mr.. Arnold
entered upon a second term of the
Sherifalty on the 1st of January last.
He was reelected without opposition
A better Sheriff, we presume, Kanawha
never had. His responsible duties have
been performed to the entire approba-
tion Of the people of the county and OF
the Auditor Of the State. He resigns,
we understand, because the business is noeo
reduced to the collection Of tares, and un-
der eristiny circumstance he rs orore Of
the inapossitility Of being able to pay orer
the State revenue in due time, and being
unr0iliing 10 involue his securities, he de-
czines the responsible office"
So it seems the only business for
Sheriffs in Virginia is ''the collection q
tuaes." And as that is an impossibility
the Sheriff resigns. Jeff. Davis Will
have a good time getting Virg;nia's pro
portion ofhis s12, 100000, direct tax ust
levied for the prosecution of his treason.
