not yet reduced to a condition to ask terms or
accept them, unless acceptable. The Rebels have
better cavalry than we, at least as good artillery
and as well served-as well may be- as the guns
we're stolen from us and The officers educated OF
our expense; and if their. infantry be not as
good in its personnel as ours, it is quite as well
oflicered aud about as well drilled. There is no
reason why they should not continue their pre-
sent ignobe mode of warfare for long time, In
the hope of wearying us into granting their de
mands. We have much faith in JEFF. Davis and
his rout for the confusion of any compromise
probable to be offered on this side.
And the difficulties on this side, too, are not
less, and may well discourage the most ardent
Compromiser. There ore the 100000 men with
arms in their hands and with votes in their
pockets, who have not left all and hastened to
the field for the purpose of being sent home
again disappointed and disgraeed. They are in
arms to settle this question forever, so that it
can never arise again to disturb the peace Of
the nation. Those 100000 men constitute
great National Mass Meeting, which cannot be
dsregardcd by any politician on his preierment
with impunity. The next Presidency is slowed
away in their knspsacks along with other no.
tions, and it win never be taken out and given
TO any man who robs them OF the honest victory
they have set their hearts on. For they know
by instinct that there can be no settlement
of this quarrel excepting by the conquest
ond tho surrender of one party or the
other. That is what both armies
are enlisted to compel each Of the other, and
arms only can adjust the matter now. These
truths are so selfevident that it is not to be
supposed that any public man can be 80 In
seDsate as to rush on his own political destruc-
ton by going counter to them. A misstep now
would be fatal for ever, for it would never be
forgotten, but ever rise up in judgment against
the offender. The nation expects Of its agents
at this time votes Of indemnity 10 the President
for the responsibilities he has so notly assumed
votes of men and money of the amPlest range,
and such provision in the way of taxation as
shall Keep its credit good. The sooner these
essentials are dispatched, and the public mind
set at ease by the adjournment of possible mis-.
chief from political grinders Of axes and rollers
of logs until next December, the better for all
parties and for the whole nation.

ONE OF THE Rows.

In the County of Allegauy, N. y, and on the
headwaters of the Allegheny River, lives an
active, thrifty citizen. still in early manhood.
who devotes his energies to the progression and
sale of lumber. He RATS many thousands Of
pine boards annually down the rivers, aud has
lamber-yard at Memphis-pcobably not his only
one. Associating intimately and trading largely
with SouttrOns, he has ever been a thorough
Democrat, and last Fall advocated Breckenridge
for President, though he, Of course, voted the
Fusion ticket.
Hearing Of trouble at Memphis, he started for
that city some weeks since, TO look after his
property, but was met at Cincinnati By repre-
sentations that induced him to think even 4.

He telegraphed to friend in Memphis for
solution of his doubt, and was rather surprised
at receiving the gruff answer damn you |,

hotel surrounded by mob of demons yelling for
his blood, though they only knew Of him that he
came from the North, ard was supposed to be-
alter pay for his property. Aided BY friend,
be made his escape from rear windCw, ran
| several miles across the country to the next
station north on the railroad, there took the
cars, and somehow reached Cincinnati, whence
he telegraphed home that he would follow tho
message forthwith, and wished TO meet his
friends and neghbors the next evening. He DID
so meet them. told them he was in for the War
for the Union, aud raised company of sharp.

THE CATILINR.

For hard times, the speculation 10 the steamer
Catiline, burnt last week a. Fort Monroe, may
be considered as satisfactorily profitable. Her
first cost was $4,000. The cost of running hsr
for ten weeks would be much more than covered
by $4,000 more, making S25,0O0 outlay. She
was chartered to tue Government for $1,000 Q
month, making $4,000 for the ten weeks. A
provision in her charter secures to her owners
$4,000, nearly three times her cost, in case sha
is lost. She will have returned then to the own.
ers S15, 900 gross for ten weeks service. But
che was also insured, it is said, for $4,000.
making an aggregate of 100000. From this
sum deduct the first cost and expense of run.
Eing, 5000, aud her net profit to the owners
is $72, 600 for ten weeks.
If these figures be correct, the Catiine mar
be considered to have dOue fair business.
Whether they be or not, or whether she was
owned by Messrs. Charles StetsOn, o. b Mat
teson, aud G. C. Davidson, in part or in whole,
we hold subject to correction. But, inasmuch
as the charge is made, the matter should be in.
yestigated. AS We are about 10 incur the bur.

The Buffalo Commercial is journal which hs

The Buffalo Commercial is o journal which has
no occasion for quarreling with us, yet it chooses
to assal us with the following charges:
al IL said that the Rerals were seeking TO effect
compromise with Government, and that ce tain mcm-
bers of the Cabinet in favor Of the This
assertion has been as etiectusly blown TO atoms as
though il had been target for battery Of colunbISds

ferfiuQ with Fernando Wood in regard 10 propoeitn
for peace 1t has been proved that neither Hunter uos
Bayard have been within good many miles OF New
York for several mooths."
To which The TRIBUNE makes answer:
1. That the Rebels are seeking INDIRECTLY q
compromise, does not rest on the authority Of
this paper, though we trust that would be coz
elusive. The Troy Times, and other respectable
journals, have made independent statements fully
corroborating ours. That these overtures were
countenanced by one or more members Of the
Cabinet was stated by our well-nformed Wash.
ipgton correspondent, and gaioed credence By
reason of the secret back-stairs negotiations with
Judge John A. Campbell last Spring. If it is de-
MED that the new effort for compromise was
addressed to o member Of the Cabinet, we VIII
try to prove 1t.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

We have this morning to communicate the ex-
hilarating information that the combined move
Inent toward Richmond viii Commence to-day
The three divisions already spoken of will adj
vance on Manassas Junction, with an ae0rerate
force Of nearly fifty thousand men. This an.
nouncement will be received with enthusiasm
by the people, and the result of the movement
will be looked for with an interest more intense
than has yet been excited. Gen. Beauregard is
reported to be at Fairfax Court House, but the
number Of his army is not even proximstely
known.
Various exciting rumors and extrayagant reports
concerning a battle Of great magnitude between
Gen. Patterson and Gen. johnson, at Martinsburg,
prevailed last evening at Washington, and reached
this city by telegraph. The War Department how
ever, had no information which would authorize
these stories, and they considered improbable.
ii 10 known that Gen. johnson has been reinforced,
his army ROW consisting of $4,000 or l6 600 infan-
try, 600 cavalry, aud about 20 pieces of artillery.
Gen. Patterson has sent for reenforcemeuts, and
the New-YoIk l2th and 9th LETT Washington on
Sunday afternoon to go to him. To-day, it is ex-
pected, that his force will be still further increased
by Col. Stones command. Patterson has now
about 1000 men and 20 pieces of artillery. Some
uneasiness was caused at Washington by the fact
that his communication with the Department has
been interrupted within the past three days.
On Saturday night As men of the Third Ohio
regiment fell in with an ambuscade Of several
hundred rebels at Middle York Bridge, twelve
niles east of Buckhannon, Va. Being surrounded
they fought desperately for some time, then cut
their way through the enemy and retired, losing
only one man and having some wounded On
