The BURNING OF THE HARPER's FERRY
ARsENAL.-The New York Herald of Mon
day claims the burning of the Harper's
Ferry Arsenal as brilliant victory, when
it comes to be understood. 1t believes that
from 10000 to $4,000 Virginians had con-
spired and banded together to take the
arsenal, seize the arms, and then move on
by way of the railroad, and attempt to take
Washington when that city was off its
guard. The Herald rejoices over the fire as
follows:
But who can estimate the value of that time
" little conflagration at Harpers Ferry? We
consider it greater victory than that of Wa
terloo; for we believe that it has saved the
capital of our country. 1t is, we think, now
safe. but we must make assurance doubly
sure" and carry the war into the enemy
camp.
The destruction of the Norfolk Navy
Yard does not rank less in Importance than
the brilliant movement at Harper's Ferry.

Not so Bad, After ALE

JOHN A. DIX, who held cabinet Office
under Mr.. BUCRANAN's administration for a
briefer time than any one else, has done the
most to rescue it from the contempt of his
tory. At the Union meeting in New York
he made public, for the first time, the follow
ing extract from letter of the Secretary
of War, Mr.. HOLT, to Mr.. HAYNE, the
commissioner of South Carolina
If, with all the multiplied proofs which exist
of the Presidents anxiety for peace, and of the
earnestness with which he has pursued it, the
authorities of that State (SOuth Carolina)
should assault Fort Sumpter and peril the lives
of the handful of brave and loyal men shut up
within its walls, and thus plunge our country
into the horrors of civil war, then upon them
and those they represent must rest the respon-
sibility.
To this clear, emphatic utterance, Mr..
DIX gave added force by the statement that
it had the approval of the late President
and all bis constitutional advisers, and that
if South Carolina had rendered war to the
late administration as she has to this, by q
hostile and deadly assault, it would have
been unanimously accepted.

The War of Sections.

The contest which has now commenced
between the two great sections of this res
public-the Northern and Southern-the
free and the slave States-may be long
one, but its result is not doubtful. The
power of the Government and of law is on
one side the weakness of unreasoning re-
bellion and lawless usurpation of power on
the other. The army and navy of the
Government are on one side the levies of a
new organization on the other. The capt.
tai of the North is on one side, gigantic in
its proportions, compared with that of the
South, on the other. The sympathies, the
hearts, the honor, the courage, and the per-
sonal prosperity of nineteen millions of men,
are arrayed in the attitude of war against
the seeded cotton States, with an aggregate
population of five millions. The North
has the regular army, the ship-yards, and
the control of the largest capital. The
South has a hastily organized army of
brave, but misguided men. The whole
North is adding itself as volunteers to the
nucleus which the regular army forms, and
placing itself under the command of veteran,
tried, and patriotic officers, who have been
bred to the service of their country. Where
the odds are such, who can doubt where the
banner of victory will rest.

OUT OF HARMS WAY-On Thursday the
18th, two noted Senators hastily left Wash.
ington for the North. One was CHARLES
SUMNER, whose rabid teachings have done
so much public harm, and whose influence,
with that Of others, has precipitated the late
war demonstration of the Government. Now
if really it has been anticipated in Washing
ton that that city will be very shortly at
tackled by the people of the surrounding
country, it would seem as if such men as
Mr.. SUMNER should be most forward in
defending Mr.. LINCOLN. Senator SIMMONS
also left the same day. He is the real
author of the present tariff bill, which is
doing the South so much service abroad
and the North so much injury at home.

The United States Of America must
be the Ruling Power on the Con.
fiuent.

The war in which the country finds itself
involved, is not solely struggle for the
enforcement of the laws" It. now has q
more enlarged scope. 1t is to preserve and
vindicate the power of the Government, and
demonstrate to all foreign nations that the
United States of America is, and must Of
necessity be, the leading and ruling
government of the Western Hemisphere.
We cannot permit the existence of rival
power on the Continent. The Northern
States, 10y virtue of their wealth, popula-
ton, geographical position, and pre.eminent
ability to carry on warike operations, must
continue in the legitimate exercise of an
overriding political influence. They must
command respect abroad, and if it is not
freely accorded, win it by deeds of arms,
which will demonstrate that it is not alone
in the peaceful avenues of commerce and
manufactures we are invincible. When this
object shall have been accomplished-when
the Southern Revolutionists shall have been
Inundated, and American nationality, and
the glorious ensign of our national exis-
tence, vindicated in the eyes of the world,
then, and not until then, can we think of
negotiations, and peaceful adjustment of
long existing differences.
The Southern revo!utionists have select
ed the sword as the sole arbiter. "Those
who take up the sword shall perish by the
sword" We have no fears as to the re-
suit. Northern capital and numbers-the
justice of our cause, and the weakness of
that of our opponents constitute too great
odds to be successfully opposed Forgetting
all past differences, in the desire to maintain
the best government the world has ever
seen, we invoke the people of Minnesota to
harmony and energy of action in the sup.
port of the constituted authorities. Let
the struggle at the outset, be vigorous
terrible one-and it will speedily termin-

The Star of the West Seized.

The New Orleans Pioayune, of the Goth,
reports that on that morning the steamer
Star of the West was brought into the
Southwest Pass, as prize. She was
seized by the citizens of Indianola, Texas,
when she was taking on United States
troops. A prize crew was placed on her,
and she was then taken to New Orleans.
The Star of the West had on board 800 or
900 barrels of provisions, when she was
captured.

How the North Responds to the Call
to Maintain the Government and
the Honor of the Flag.


to Maintain the Government and
the Honor of the Flag.
On the 10th of April, President LINCOLN
issued his proclamation calling upon the
States for military aid to maintain the honor
and integrity of the government Within
two weeks from the date of the proclama-
ton, every State of the North has the full
number of men called for, organized and
prepared to take the field. We question if
history furnishes parallel to this generous
and patriotic devotion to our national flag.
But more than this: twice the number of
men called. for, have volunteered. New
York alone claims the right to furnish
$4,000 soldiers; Pennsylvania offers 10000,
and the Governor says L" he is mobbed with
offers for more" Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
in fact every Northern State, is eager to
double its quota. Nor is it alone in offers
Of men, that this desire to support the gov
eminent has been manifested. Capitalists
have already placed at the disposal OF the
Administration one hundred millions of
dollars F; and if the necessity arises,
this great sum will be doubled or
trebled. As Senator BAKER of Oregon
remarked in his thrilling speech at the
New York Union meeting, "to die
tate to the rebellious, terms of peace--to
conquer peace-may cost us $50, 900, 900
it may take $3OO,O0O,OOO--wha then?
We haze it? 1t may cost US 1900 lives !;
it may be $4,000 lives; it may be 100000
lives-what then? We haze them and if
the organization, the destiny, the renown,
the glory, the freedom of constitutional
government demand it, let them co." This
is the spirit anlmating the North today.

not think the Revolutionists compare. in
this respect, with the people of the North.
The notice for the quota of troops for Ohio
was received from the War Department at
Columbus on Monday night, the 18th, and
on Thursday the 18th, tho full regiments left
that city for Washington, and on Saturday
another regiment was prepared to march.
Three regiments of Massachusetts, troops
were stationed at Washington, and at Forts
Monroe and McHenry, within a week of
the receipt of the demand on the Governor
of that State, for two regiments. During
the same time, from the 18th to the 22d,
gallant little Rhode Island called and held
special session of the Legislature, appro-
priated half million dollars to fit out
troops, threw five hundred Rhode Island
boys into Fort Monroe, in Virginia, sent

by the War Department, and, in addition
she had at Washington, about the middle

its head. And all this, is but fair exam
pie of the action of the Northern States.

Neither to the Right Hand nor the
Left.

There were many admirable points in
the speech delivered last evening by Daniel
S. Dickinson, at the Union meeting in the
Cooper Institute. There were none more
admirable than the resolute purpose which
he manifested to be turued aside neither to
the right hand nor the left from the plain
and single question of the Union. Gentle
men sent up notes to him asking, "what
have you to say of abolitionists ?" Moth
ing," replied the patriotic statesman, ''save
the words of the Saviour of the world,
Let the dead bury their dead.'"
A voice cried out from the crowd, "What
of Fremont's proclamation ?'' MIR. Dick
inson answered:
"Read it for yourself. meddle not
with any of these little questions, these
side-ssues. They are simply unfortunate
ripples in the current that is moving on to
sweep the rebellion from the face of the
earth. My errand is to urge my fellow.
citizens to put it down so that it will stay
there and then we will attend to all those
political questions, real, personal, and mixed
laughter about the genuine democracy
and spurious democracy, Republicanism,
Americanism, abo1itionism, and all other
isms."
When few Kisses arose in the assembly
upon his incidental mention of the course of
Great Britain toward this country, he paid
them not even the attention of pause, but
passed straight on with the consider alton of
the subject which was vital to the occasion.

Condition of Things at Richmond.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
We were called upon yesterday by Mr..
j. W. Packard, needle manufacturer from
North Bridgewater, Massachusetts,, on his
way home from business visit to Rich.
mond, Virginia. From him We CLEAN the
following facts, showing the actual condi-
tion of affairs in that city.
He says there are now about forty thou
sand Confederate soldiers in Richmond, full
ly twO.thirds of whom are now suffering
from measles, smallpox and fevers incident
to camp life. The troops are poorly clad,
having no coats, and but few shoes. There
is but one regiment in the city that has a
full supply OF blankets, and they are of
poor quality.
Flour and corn meal they are well sup.
piled with, they have 20 hams or shoulders,
but there is limited supply of side bacon,
which sells at from thirty to forty cents per
pound. Sugar sells at from twenty to
forty five cents per pound tea from eighty
cents to one dollar bar pound, and very poor
in quality at that Coffee from forty to
fifty cents per pound but butter is luxury
only dreamed OF.
The soldiers are paid off in Confederate
currency, and the greatest dissatisfaction is
manifested at it. No one will take it but at a
heavy discount, and the loss falls heavily on
those who have to purchase almost every
thing they need. They are consoled however,
by the daily promises of commanders to
take Washington in week or So" Rich
mond, our informant says, may be called
great military hospital, as far as sickness is
concerned; but there it ends, for nurses and
physicians are both scarce. The city is
not in a defensive condition; earthworks
have been thrown up and platforms laid,
but no guns have yet been mounted. In
fact, there are none to mount, from the lack
of the proper kind of material to manufac.
ture them. The G'redager works can only,
on this account, turn out one gun per week,
while, if material was available, they could
produce one per day.
Many OF the wounded at Manassas are
suffering there still, and from thirty to sixty
die daily from the effects of wounds and the
diseases mentioned above.

Pretty Well Done.
From the Omaha City Nebra skiar.

From the Omaha City Nebra skiar.
The $4,000 which came up in the hands
OF the United States Express, on the southern
stage, Tuesday night, of which we spoke
yesterday, did not come from Elwood, as we
at first supposed, but direct from st. Joseph.
The manner in which the agents of the ex-
press company managed to get it away,
reflects great credit upon them and deserves
mention. The treasure was locked up in
the safe in the express Office and guarded by
the agent, when, the other day, a party Of
rebels came with large plank and broke
down the door of the store next to the eX.
press Office and helped themselves to what
they wished, and then came into the express
Office, looked around little and went away.
At the exhibition they had been favored
with of the peculiar disposition of the rebels,
the express agent and the messengers became
justly alarmed for the safety of the treasure
in their hands, and resolved to make {. bold
strike and attempt to take it from the city.
From the cellar, an old trunk, without
lock, and covered with mold, cobwebs and
dust, was brought forth. From the old
clothes inside, one of the messengers quickly
selected suit more compatible with the
appearance OF the trunk than the one he
usually wore. The treasure was then packed
snugly inside, and an old piece of rope tied
carelessly around it, supplied the place of
the lock- and held the lid securely down.
Hurrying down street as fast as his cum-
sy boots would let him, our messenger,
disguised effectually as an anxious clodhop
per, secured drayman, and telling him
that times were getting rather hot in ST.
Joseph, and he had concluded to go to Eli
wood, and that he had some baggage at
the express Office he would like to have
taken over. The drayman went with him,
and after little parleying and begging the
express agent to let the trunk 60 without
the payment of small charge alleged to
be upon it, and while the back OF the
owner was turned, made fun to the drayman
of his appearance and OF his trunk, aud
finally helped the owner load it, putting off
the drayman, who was anxious to help,
with 4" Never mind, it's no. trouble"
Walking down the middle of the street
behind the dray, our disguised messenger
soon reached the river, and in few minutes
more was safely in Elwood. And thus
$4,000 in gold, hard gold, passed under
the eyes of the rebels at st. Joseph. Joined
by another messenger, equally rough in ap.
pearauce, team was hired to bring them
to Nebraska City, and from thence by
stage they came to Omaha, bringing the
same old trunk, with its load of treasure,
strapped on behind as if it contained moth
ing but old clothes.
