good conscience and resolute hearts,
civilization win go with them, and the
heresy AMI incidence that slavery has
begotten will resign o beautiful and
fertile section to tree industry, free
Gospel, and free thought.
The crusade we wage has nothing of
fanaticism about it. And while the
results that we predict we're not the
objects for which the war was begun,
a greater hand than ours, that is gui-
ding the elements for the welfare OF
mankind, will make them, If not inten-
ded, not less inevitable.
Our motives nave changed since the
commencement of the war. We are
almost prepared to accept any instru-
mentality or advocate any reform. =
Constitutional obligations have res
trained us, but the most prudent be-
gin TO assume that those who break oil
laws deserve little protection. Each
event will radicalize this contest, and
enlist new motives, so that, to the phi
losophic eye, these
"Spirits
Of great events stride on before the events,
And in to-day already walks tomorrow.

PANIC IN RICHMOND. The F. r.
VS., who hold their high and ragged
court in the capital of the old Domin
ion, are in constant fear of the advance
of the Union troops; and what alarms
them most is the disaffection OF the
rebel soldiers, many of whom are
without shoes, and most of them have
not been paid for weeks. McClellan's
slow but sure advance on Manassas
is reported to them with every element
of exaggeraticn. The theatrical farce
of those miserable traitors will soon
be over.

ANDREW JoHNsoNIN IN ONO. Much
of the glorious triumph of the Union
Democrats and Republicans in Ohio
is to lie attributed to Andy johnson
of Tennessee, who spoke in many por'
tions of the State, and viii over
whelming effect. His 'peech at Day
toll, in that State, shortly before the
election on Tuesday last, was SO etiec-
tive that the celebrated Vallanding-
ham, who lives in that town, was ut
terly squelched out in his county, city,

Lord Lyons has addressed a brief
circular to her Majesty's consuls in the
Southern States, enclosing the follow

the Secretary Of State, viz:
"The law of blockade. which does
not permit vessel in . blockade port
to take on board cargo after the com
mencement of the blockad !, will be ex-
pected so be strictly observed by all
vessels hlocSaded by he naval forces
of the United States"

Low PRICES AT THE WEST. The
extreme West suffers considerably in
consequence of the war for want of Ia
market for its superabundent pro-
duets. A letter from correspondent
in Iowa says that eggs were selling at
one cent dozen, and corn at fifteen
cents bushel apples, with which
trees are loaded down twenty-five to
thirty cents per bushel -four two
dollars per 100 pounds.

A Gespatch received last night from
Washington states that our Govern
ment has learned that the rebel COM
missioners, Slidell and Mason, who
were on board the vessels which re-
Gently run the blockade at Charleston,
are notonly authorized by JEFF. Davis
to form commercial treaties with
France and England, but 10 place the
Seeded Estates directly under the
protection Of foreign Governments.
This is a startling proposition, and
shows not only the desperation of the
rebel leaders, but their utter disregard
of republican institutions and their
willingness to convert large proper
ton ofour fair lend into a mere ap-
pendage Of a foreign crown.
We have always contended that
these leaders, were at heart naughty
aristocrsts, and this measure prove
that they are not only deadly foes
of the ref publican principle of submiss-
ion to the will of the majority, which
has been 30 gloriously and successfully
ILLUSTRATED by the wondt trful prosperity
of our country up to the outbreak of
the REBELLION, but that if titles can be
won for themselves they are ready
forevero sacrifice the liberties of their
fellow -conntrymen, and thus to doubly
delude and betrav the misguided
masseSof the South whom they have
persuaded or forced to join their infa-
nous conspiracy.
We trust, however, that our government
will take efficient measures to combat
this neq demonstration It is by no
means ertain that Mason & Slidell will
be enabled to reach Europe Several
fast-saiih hg vessels left New York on
wednesday to intercept them, and
even if the opinion expressed by one
of our correspondents that the rebel
vessels will sail for the West Indies
is corrct, they may still be intercept
ed. Bat if all pursuit is eluded, they
will find Our ministers ready to COM
bat then at the European courts, and,
if the Eorst must come, the Americ IN
people Withstand by their flag and their
Union against world in arms.

ILLEGAL PERMITS. 1t is represen-
ted by several officers of the customs
that permits have been given by un-
authorized persons in Northern cities,
including municipal officials for the
transportation Of goods destined for
localities in or contiguous to the dis
loyal States. AS the power to grant
permits in such cases is solely vested
in the President and the Secretary of
the Treasury, those from other sour
ces are consequently worthless In all
cases where permits are necessary, ap
plication must be made to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, with full state
ment of the facts.

that the rebels had stretched chain

IMPoRTANT MILITARY MOVEMENTS
1t is now decided by Government
to pnsl sixty thousand Eastern troops
into the West-one half into Nilsson

going toward, will swell the Western

portions Out of tho e pushing on
into Missouri another wing will be
formed, under new command, to
proceed with the new gunboats and
transport steamers down the Mississip-
pi during the autumn months. Gen.
Wool, it is thought, will command the
river fleet and army In these three
three bapches of the Union army
there will be not less than 100000
men, and the Government will expect
the most energetic movements at the

A DAY OF RUMoRs. Dame Rumor
was unusually busy last Sunday
We had any quantity of reports of the
most frightful and improbable char
acter. 1t was said that General Sick
les had set ont at the head of an ex-
pedition for Matthias Point-that
there had been an engagement at AL
exandria-that Chain Bridge was
menaced by $4,000 men-that Lees
burg wasin the hands of tie Federal
army-that an indefinite number of
ships had been shattered by the rebel
batteries on the Potomac-that Pres
ident Lincoln had been captured while
on sailing cruise down the river,
and that Beauregard had evacuated
Fairfax, and was now on the way to
Manassas. To all of these rumors we
give a simple denial. There is no
truth in any of them.
The FREMONT TROUBLE. 1t seems
to be an established fact that General
Fremont is really to be removed
The charges made against him were
forwarded to the President by the
friends of Mr.. Blair. 1t is reported
that he has involved the Government
in unnecessary expenditures to the
amount of nearly ten millions of dol
lars that he gave to his California
friends contracts for fabulous amounts
without requiring any security what
ever; that he denied Government Of
ficers interviews with him unless it
particularly suited him that he as.
snmed supreme powers which were
not delegated to him; that he did
not obey the instructions of the Gov
ernment unless they met his views.
The friends of General Fremont here
say, in unmistakeable language. that
he has been unfairly dealt with that
he has been villaneously prosecuted
because soRe members of the Cabi-
net are jealous Of his popqlarity and
that when an investigation takes place
be viii make these things manifest, |
and show cleaner record than any
other officer of his rank in the SER
7ice.
