General Mcclellan, in company with the Presi-
deht ana Secretary of State, had a grand review
Saturday Of the regulars, infantry cavalry and ar
tillery, end the commanding general expressed
himself highly gratifed with the appearance of the
men. 1t appears that the discipline of the forces
has greatly improved of late, and that their cond
ton az the present time is most satisfactory, and
affords proaise e rood deeds in the future. when
their service NY be demanded in the field.
The gov Ifn.@ j. giving evidence by its vigor-
Gus action IN one particulars that it realizes the
fact that, Is government, and that It has to
grapple with dangerous rebellion Not only have
sveral parties been arrested on suspicion of trea-
son-including the Mayor of Washington, the Balti.
more Police Commissioners and numerous others
now held in durance at Fort Lafayette-but two or
three ladies in Washington have also been placed
under arrest upon charges of communicating with
the rebels. Among them are the wife Of Senator
Gwyn, Mrs. Greenough anu Mrs. Phillips, wife of
IN ex-mcmber of Congress from Albania, and her
two daughters The houses of these ladies have
been surrounded by q strong military guard, and
the inmates held in close custody
1t is gratifying to know that the vigilance with
which the government is pursuing individuals sus-
pected of completely with the rebels is also ex-
tended to reasonable newspapers. BY an order
from the Post office Department, the transmission
by mail of any of the papers in this city which were
lately presented dangerous by the Grand Jury is
absolutely forbidden. Moreover, all communica-
ton by letters or papers, heretofore carried
on by the express companies, with the
rebel States. is henceforth prohibited. SO
that all connection by mail, express, steamboat
railroad, and every other mode of transportation
Is thus eectualy cut off between the loyal States
and the rebel States. The government appears
convinced of the fact, which must be apparent to
every one, that half measures will avail nothing in
the present crsis-that whatever is done must be
done effectively, and with all the power which the
Administration can command.

The administration has also been making some
examination of various distinguished masculine
aiders and abettors of this Southern rebellion;
and henceiorward, for some time, Fort La
fayette, which stands in the golden gate Of New
York harbor, will be more attractive to the his
toran, as the receptacle of State prisoners, than
the Tower of London, which has passed into a
mere monument Of by-gone days Fort La
fayette has now within its walls q very inter-
esting company of interesting characters of The
secession type, including the Hon. Pierce But
Ter, for some years the husband of Fanny
Kemble, and including also, the Handsome
OF Washington, Baltimore policemen, rebel
fnanciers and diplomats, and maritime adyen-
turers.
In all these things we now begin to realize
the stubborn fact that our glorious days Of
peace have been superseded by positive and
terrible war, involving the simple issue of gov
eminent or no government. Our government.
established by Washington and his cotempo-
raries, is menaced with destruction. The enc
my's pickets are to-day overlooking our ma
tional capital, and convenient and Boosting
rebel army threatens to occupy or 70 destroy
it. At such crisis it would be
folly to expect the indulgences Of a
condition of peace and security to traitors and
their agents and emissaries, male or female. In
this struggle of life or death the government
cannot stand upon technicalities or gallantries
or any such dangerous trifes. 1t must meet this
rebellion at all points and in all its DISCUSSES
and strip it Of its false pretences wherever they
can be detected.
1t is gratifying to know that the Cabinet al
Washington has at length been aroused to the
necessity Of vigilant search for rebel spies and
ein'ssaries, beginning in the city of Washington
and that Northern secession newspapers are also
to be reduced to the stern discipline OF
state OF war. In all this business it is only ne
cessary to look beyond the southern line of our
army olearn, to its fullest extent the comprc-
hensiye vigilance which governs the rebel States
against every man and every woman suspected
OF sympatllies hostile to the rebel cause. Our
people, even in this ordeal of war, would not
tolerate such a despotism. We, at least, have
10 necessity for it; but it is necessary on our
part, as far as possible, to put an end to this
business Of ''aid and comfort" to the enemy
from this side our army lines in every shape
and form.

AFFAIRS AT THE CUSTOM HousE.-Reports are
current that Collector Barney entertains the
idea OF putting the notorious abolitionist
Helper-a mar who has done more than any
other individual to bring about the calamities
from which the country is suffering into
"A prominent position in the Custom House. We
sincerely hope that he will have more
patriotism and good sense. We also learn
that a relative Of ex-senator Dickinson
has been removed, at the very moment
when that statesman has shown his devotion to

manner; while, on the other hand, Confidence

While the Atlas and Argus is daily distilling

! AWAKENING ENERGY OF THE GOVERNMENT
The authorities at Washington have at length
recognized the danger of permitting such propa-
gators OF treason as the Journal Of Commerce and
Daily Nescs to be circulated through the North
ern States, and have ordered that they should
be no longer conveyed through the mails This
is step in the right direction, and it will doubt
less be followed by the closing of he Offices Of
those and other pernicious newspapers al
together. The same fate will be shared, we pre-
sumo, by the Albany Argus and atlas, and Con-
fidence Cassidy will find his neck in the moose
at last. 1t is also question whether the sboli-
ton secession prints should not also be suppress
ed. The Anii-SlQresy Standard, LiJesutor and
Tribune do as much mischief in their way as tho
Journal Of Commerce and Meas, and tend equal
ly to foment discomfort and disorder. The lat
ter of these journals may perhaps be saved by
another quaking, penitential card from Massa
Greeley in which with knees bent he begs the
pardon of the public, and promises not to do

EXPECTED TROUBLE IN BALTM0RE.-So long
as General Banks remained in Baltimore, every
thing was peaceful and affairs moved ON

fitted for the details of our city Post Office than

content has raised its head again, and every day
symptoms are manifested of latent mischief.
How soon it may break forth no one can tell.
He is totally unfit tor the place he holds and

understand that the Bank Committee have gone
on to Washington, and intend suggesting the
preposterous idea to the President of making

THE QUESTION o. OPEN PoRTs SETTtEn.--Cer.-
tain London journals, anxious to bring about
trouble between this country and Great Bri-
tain, are continually insinuating that the block
ade of the Southern coast is ineffective, and this
absurd and false view has been re-echoed in
speeches, in and out Of Congress Without any
reference to the blockade whatever the 60
vernment of the United States has the full and
free right to close what ports it will and to de-
clare, authoritatively, through what channels it
will communicate commercially with foreign
nations. The war between England and China,
and the later conflict of China with both France
an! England, have fully settled this question
The united efforts Of the governments Of Queen
Victoria and Louis Napoleon were vainly en-
ploycd in the endoavor TO cause The Chinese
Emperor, to consent to throw open all of the
ports of the Celestial Empire. They sgnally
failed, and were compelled to acknowledge by
treaty his right to close up the greater number
OF harbors on the Asiatic coast. This principle
OF International law is now recognized by every
naval power of Europe and America, and the
proposition to violate it, in the case of the
United States is almost too prcposterous 10

ARREST Or Rebel. AGENTs.-Whilc the official
representatives Of the English and French go
vernments are giving assurances Of friendship
and good will towards the United States, it is
a little curious that both countries should be at
this moment sending out large fleets to our
coast; that officers of the French navy sta
toned at Halifax should openly state that
when naval achievements arrive the lines of
our coast guard will be broken. All this, we
say, is very strange; but stronger evidence
of the insincerity Of these governments is de-
veloped in the correspondence takcn from the
rebel agents who have been recently arrested
Take for example, the letters discovered on
Mr. Muir The other day, which reveal the fact
that tho English and French Consuls at Charles
ton have actually been negotiating treaty
of commerce with the rebel leaders. And
if more Of such correspondence fell into the
hands of the government, there is no doubt that
the completely of foreign. officials with the
Southern rebellion would be more fully es-
tablished. 1t is not long ago that the Prus-
sian Consul at Charleston WIS arrested at Bos-

The RESIGNATION OF NAVAL OFFIcERs.-The
return of almost every war vessel from foreign
stations is followed by the resignation Of some
OF tie officers who happen to be Of Southern
birth. This fact, perhaps, is not surprising;
but it does appear singular that the govern
ment, after Diminishing from the service, should
permit the officers to return to their homes in
the South and enter the rebel service. Instead
of being permitted to do so they should be held
under arrest as suspected traitors. From the
frigate Congress, just returned from the Brazil
station, two or three officers have resigned.
Are they to be permitted to join the rebels in
their privateer scrviee or to follow the exam
pie of Captain Hollins, OF the Susquehanna who,
Immediately after his resignation, turned up in
company with the Southern rebel Zouave in
lady's attire, engaged in Selling the steamer
st. Nicholas? We trust not.
