National Affairs.

Our Government is still exhibiting an
unhinching purpose to execute the laws, and
vlndlcate the National honor Some, per-
haps, have grown inpatient at the delay Of
justice in ushing this Southern rebellion,
and have been fearing that the pilfcrcrs Of
our Government property, were to be graft.
fed In being let a lone, and allowed to pocket
their plunder without making any concession
CT amends for their robbery and rebellion;
but We have good reason 10 lnier that such fears
are Groundless Those wto are getting i'm
patient at the apparent want OF action, should
recoilcct that some time must be expended in
properly equipprg, arming and drilling, the
thousands that have boen thus suddenly called
from their ordinary occupations into the mil
itary defence of the country. The time has
not been lost, and Maryland has already been
the theatre of important and successful ope-
rations.
Recently tao Government has been ma
king very significant movements in the trans
fers of large supplies and bodies of men to
Fertrcss Monroe It appears now probable
that Virginia will be the great scene of the
bloody struggle, and that no point will be
more strongly contested than that which so
completely commands the commerce of that
State. General Butler has already made
his mark i'll the affairs connected with Eaiti-
more, and he is now put in charge Of an
important military department, comprising
Virginia, the Caroliuas, and Tennessee We
infer that over this rc6el;ous territory he
will forthwith seek to plant our National
banner, and supp ess the formidable rebellion
that is there in arms against the Government.
In this important expedition General Butler
will command New England troops, who will
show themselves equa. to the responsible part
they have 10 act in this momcntous conflict
Already the plan is being laid for march
into Virginia, where the Southern troops are
by thousands, and those who
are SO impatient to face the Northern hire
ings will soon be gratfed in the opportu-
nifty to exhibit their Southern chivary and
ooastcd superior strength and courage. We
are apparently upon the eve Of very deci-
sive and important events connected with the
evcntful history of cur country. The a4alrs
ook threatening, not only in connection with
Virginia, but also upon the Gulf, AID in the
valley Of the Mississippi.

Chaplains.


One of the editors of the New York Tribune,
who has been around considerable in the camps
Of the volunteers, says
It is very evident, in the camps visited, that
the earnest-mnded and religious men did not
exert the influence they ought, and which they
wanted TO exert. There are several modes Of
reaching these evils. Every regiment ought to
have Chaplain not merely an ornamental and
respectable appondage, but a christian man who
desires TO do good Without knowing any of
the chaplains personally. have fear that
MANY Of them are to say the least, not we'll
adapted to their places; this is an impression
derived more from the talk of soldiers than any
positive evidence, and therefore may be doing
them injustice. Let each community be sure
that its own regiment OF volunteers has chap
lain-and good man.
The advantage Of an official religious person
in a regiment is, that it makes d kind Of center
or necleus for the moral and religious life Of
the CORPS. The men do not knew one another,
hut those of u certain moral and earnest cast
will naturally seek TO know the chaplain, and
TO onther together as Christian community;
and they will speedily draw in and influence
others. Thus a high moral tone can be com
menced in many bodies Of our army. 1t is o
shame that in our regular army the chaplain
should have no official existence. The English
army has one officially to each brigade. The
North are fighting this battle as one Of law,
liberty, and righteousness, and they must fight
it as their Puritan forefathers, with Bible and
Psalm Book in hand.

STRIKE HARD STRIKE Quick The Della
ware State Journal and Goeete, in speaking of
the Union, says:
g Let the blow as it must be terrible, he
therefore quick. hard, decisive. Let there be
no halting at the capital no halting at Rich

ors who have plotted treason there and no
lIalting even at the extreme Southern coast of
the Union, until freedoms troops snail plant
freedoms starry flag upon every battlement and
every fort in the rebel domain. They have in

they must reap the whrlwind. Let them learn
how terrible is the avengne spirit of Liberty,
outraged and insulted as it has been by traitors.
SOUTHERN SQUEAMlsHNEs Ess. The Southerners
affect great contempt for Northern troops, and
do not relish the idea, at all, that the " flower
of Southern chiValry' must stand up and be
shot at by greasy mechanics )" or, as an
other account has 1t, by " a mercenary, pauper
soldiery -" poverty stricken and starving
creatures, who rush where rations may be OBJ
taned'' All hat the South has to do to save
the " flower of Southern chivalry from the
stinging disgrace of being shot by Northern
soldiers, is to fall back into loyalty to the
Uuion.
HARTFoRD.-Quite company of volunteers
has been organized at this place. On the 18th
inst, they raised large flag, and exhibited
their patriotism by the firing of large cannon,
which they imprudenty loaded very heavily,
pressing dry sand upon the charge, which burst
the cannon, throwing the fragments in every
direction but, strange to say, only one person
was slightly injured. We hope these brare
fellows may soon have a chance to let off their
heavy charges into the ranks of the foe.
There is some talk that the Regiment now
being raised in Vermont, may be quartered for
a while, at White River junction.
Two NATIoNALITIEs.- New Orleans paper
says that the line between the north and the
south, is becoming sharply drawn, and that the
people of this country can hereafter exist only
as two distinct nationalities. 1t might as well
talk of two oceans having separate identity
with no land line between them. The north
and the south have common destiny, and can
not be separated. A government is no govern.
ment ut all, if it may be kicked over by a few
turbulent fellows whenever they fly into a pet;
because they are not always able to govern.
The AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY AND THE SOL
DIERs.-Tas society at New York has distrib-
nted % 900 Testaments to the soldiers of 20
regiments. 1t is proposed to distribute 70OO
more among the sixteen regiments now in that

a correspondent of the Rutland Herald, speak

Bradford, says:
He was buried in the woods about l-2 miles
from the Fort in the country with military hon
ors. The burial ground being in the enemy s
territory, q detachment of two companies un-
der Lieutenant Colonel Washburn, tho Rut-
land Light Guards, and Woodstock Light In

They were supplied with 40 rounds of ball cart.

tatchment, 70 men was under the command OF
Lieut.. Roberts OF the Light Guard.
The advance party fell in with . strong party
OF the enemy, some of whom were mounted,
who retired to the main land under cover of u
wooden building.
Night coming on, Colonel Washburn ordered
the recall, and the troops returned to quarters,
well satisfied with their first essay in field SER
vice
The same correspondent in another part of
his letter says:
" Our boys are anxious to have a hand in a
fight. Their blood is up and they will give
good account of themselves.
One word in regard to the fare. | do not
doubt that some pretty sharp letters have been
written home in regard to it. 1t is one thing to
live comfortably at home, but quite another to

Fortress Monroe.

The transport steamer keystone State, at New
York from Fortress Monroe, furnishes the sub
joined information concerning matters at the
Fortress:
"a great many prizes and detained vessels
are anchored at Old Point, under the guns of
the font There are from thirty to thirty five
schooncrs, one barquo and several bligs.
| The bridge at the fort is about two hundred
yards long, and ut its farther extremity lies the
village Of Hampton, not loveiest village Of the
plain, only remarkable for fine well of water
from which the fort obtains its supply of that
| element In the village there is stationed
guard of reocl troops, bat they keep at a safe
distance from the United States pickets.
The only approach to Fortress Monroe now
left the rebels, is that from the North, gained
by a circaitous journey around Mill Greek Pond
and raked by cross fires from the fort as to be
deemed too hazardous for trial.
In the fortress affairs are reported in the
highest degree favorable. About three thou
sand men were then in the fort (snce increased
by an additional regiment) and all were in the
fines. health and spirits The troops are en-
poyed great part Of the time in elevating
heavy columb!ads to the ramparts on the lee
ward side, and i'll strengthening the detenscs at
the various entrances. The soldiers are perfect
y satisfied with their situation and rations, as
they have received a recent supply Of fresh
meat and vegetables, while fish and oysters were
supplied every day from the adjacent banks
At both ends Of Hampton bridge, Il mile from
the fort and the only approach from that quar-
ter, picket guards are stationed.
A few outworks could safely shut off even
that approach. By this time the Massachu-
setts troops have probably occupied the village
Of Hampton.
