Eject Of Vigorous Policy on Financial
Affairs.


The New York Times of the 7th contains
the following sensible remarks upon the
effect of vigorous policy on the part of the
General Government upon financial affairs,
and particularly upon the national credit:
United States stocks went up two per cent.
yesterday. This was the effect mainly of
Mr. Stewards instructions to Mr.. Dayton, and
the evidence afforded by current events that
the Government is determined to meet this
rebellion with vigor and resolution. Mr..
Seward gives the world to understand that
this Union shall not be broken up-that all
the power of the Government will be used to
crush the rebellion which threatens it with
destruction. In the face of this declaration,
and Of the vigorous preparations Of the Ad.
ministration TO prosecute the war with re-
lentless vigor, Government stocks advance.
Gould there be better proof of the spirit and
resolution which pervades the great mass of
our people
The reason of this is very plain The bu-
sinees community demand that the war shall
be Shorthand the more vigorously it is
prosecuted the more speedily will it be
closed. Business men can stand tenn
porary reverse. They. can easily make ar
raDgements for six months or year. But
they can not endure long, uncertain and
tedious contest. When it becomes clear as
wetrust it will, that the Government intends
to pour out the whole power of the country
upon this rebellion, the people will rush to
its support with an eagerness of which the
enthusiasm of the past fortnight affords some
example. If the President would call for
two hundred and fifty thousand men at once,
his call would be instantly answered, and be
could have $200, ,Oo0 600 to put them into the
field. Capital has confidence in vigor and
energy--it breads and shuns vacillation and
inactivity.

SECESSION AND THE RENDITION OF FUaI
TIVE SLAvEs.-The Louisville Courier, in
an article upon the effect of Secession upon
the rendition of fugitive slaves, says:
To this end the South will demand and
receive a stipulation for the return of fugi-
tives from service; and this stipulation will
be more faithfully observed than the Fugi-
tive-slave Law of the Union, for this reason;
that if any one or all of the free States re-
fused TO carry out that law, there was no
means of redress in reach of the aggrieved
section short of that extreme measure of
of separation, which the South 30 reluc-
family adopted when number of concur
ring causes made it necessary to their inde-
pendence as sovereign States and the pre-
servation of the liberties of their people,
while a violation of a treaty stipulation
in this respect would be followed, not by
war or hostile demonstrations, but by tenn
.porary prohibition of importations from
the offending States or measures similar in
their operation by act of the Congress,
which would be sufficient to remind our
neighbors that their own interests re-
quiTe them to abide in good faith by their
agreements.
This is somewhat different from the pre-.
vailing opinion in the North, but it shows
the character of the delusiye hopes to which
the rebels cling. W. Esea rra

The New York papers of Tuesday publish
the subjoined account of recent Ooolie
revolt, taken from the Hong Kong Free
Press:
The American ship Lsonidas, Captain
Woods, was dispatched from Canton by the
French hong on Friday last. When at an
cbor, two or three miles below the Macao
passage fort waiting for breeze to carry
her over the bar, about eight o'clock on
Sunday morning, disturbance occurred in
the between.decks. This wasSimply ruse
to attract the officers to the spot. The first
and third mates Immediately went below to
ascertain what was the matter, when they
were savagely set upon by the coolies. The
mate managed to get back on deck, though
severely cut about the head and neck. He
then found that large batch of the coolies,
whom he had left on deck at breakfast, had
rushed into the cabin, and were assailing the
Captain, on whom they had inflicted two
desperate cuts over the nose, right through
the cartilage. The Captains wife was as
sailed with basins, &C., and severely cut on
the head, which bled profusely, though the
wounds are not deep. The Captain man
aged to seize a musket, with which he shot
one of the miscreants dead, telling another
with the butt. BY this time the crew came
aft, loaded the arms, and drove the whole of
the coolies below, shooting some twenty
nine of them. The coolies then collected
heap Of wood and set fire to it. The Captain
battened them down, when, finding the
smoke uncomfortable, the coolies put the fire
out themselves. The matches were then re-
moved, and the third mate extricated. He
was so badly wounded, however, that he is
not expected to live.
The Captain then sent his wife away to
Canton in the pilot-boat. In passing the
Macao fort she gave the alarm. The officer
in charge sent thirty soldiers down, with
orders to put down all resistance vi ct armis
All was found quiet. Medical aid was
promptly supplied. The mate is badly cut.
Out Of two hundred and fifty coolies, ninety
four were missing-killed, drowned, or es-
capped. H. M. gun boat Weasel towed the
Leonidas back. H. 1. NJ. ship DwGncs re-

IMPRoBABILITY OF MIssoURI's SEcEsaoE.-
The New York Journal Of C0mmsres pub
fishes the subjoined extract from a private
letter from st. Louis, dated April 27i
Missouri win probably not ssesde. The
Governor is now in the city, and expresses the
opinion that it will be madness for Missouri
70 attempt Secession. This morning there is
a decidedly better feeling here. II Is thought
that the real cause of the sudden change is
the enrolling of about Ave Thousand men
who have volunteered from among our citi
z5us, anu have been accepted by the United
States Government. They are All thoroughly
armed and eauipDed with United Rtetes
arms and cannon, and occupy the nights near
the city, which they are fortifying uuder
United States engineers. They have all been
sworn into the service Of the United States
Government Others are offering themselves
daily. Our Congressman, Hon. +. p. Blair,
is Colonel of one Of these regiments.
Besides these, we have about one thousand
United States troops in and around the ar
senal. do not see how, under such circum-
stances, Missouri can well get out Of the
Union. With Kansas on the West ready to
aVenge old wrongs, Iowa on the North, ris-
ing ike young Hercules, ready for the
fight, Illinois in the East, determined that
no arms or munitions Of war shall cross that
State for Missouri, Cairo occupied by United

pass up or down the river, and majority Of
the people Of the State disposed 70 stand by

FALLAoIoUs HoPEs INDULsED IN BY THE
SECEssIoN1sTs. "A correspondent of the
New York Times, who has spent several
months in the South, gives the following
summary of what the South expected when
they revolted against the Government:
First. They believed that in the event of
a civil war, the Northern people who voted
against Mr.. Lincoln (the friends of Bell,
Breckinridge and Douglas,) would sympa-
thize with the Southern traitors and give
them ''aid and comfort" moral and material.
This they had been taught by certain North
ern newspapers, whose mendacity had never
been questioned, even in peaceful times; and
by political partisans whose patriotism, so
called, knows no higher aim than the Sc
curity of the spoils of Office.
Secondly. That wide. spread ruin was
sweeping over the North that thousands of
men, women and children were on the verge
of starvation, and were ready to join in a
war TO exterminate the authors of their
misery, the Black Republicans. This they
have been taught by lying Northern cor
respondents of the leading Southern papers,
whose letters have been copied into the en-
tire provincial press.

rnE ApMINGsrRATIoN ENDORSED.


Have no fears as to the vigorous aud
ultimately successful prosecution of this
war and feel no alarm either as to the ex-
peuditure it must involve or as to those
startling steps, seemingly smacking OF the
exercise of absolute authority, which
the Administration may be forced from
time to time to take. While doubtless all
possible economy will be observed, 1t is
apparent that no considerations of that
kind can be permitted, for a moment, to
modify the policy that has been resolved
upon When the life of the patient iscon-
fessedly at stake, it would be as uawise as
it would be inEuman to discuss the ques-
ton OF the physiciNn's fee before Summon
ing him to the bed-sitle. Besides all now
realize that the system of arithmetic has
yet to be invented which could estimate IN
dollars and cents the worth of our institu-
tions. This terrible emergency, with all
its dangers and duties, was unforeseen by
the founders of our Government, and by
those who subsequently administered it,
must make laws for itself. The Govern
ment has been like a strong swimmer sud
denly precipitated into the sea, and like
that swimmer it has unhesitatingly aud
most justifably seized upon any and every
instrnmentality with which it could subdue
the treacherons currents aud waves By
which it has found itself surrounded. Az
that lgas irregular or illegal in tie action Of
The Prsndent has been fully appreciated BY
the country, and will no doubt be appro-
bated by Congress, on the broad and Incon-
testible principle that laws and usages OF
administration designed to preserve the ex.
istence OF the nation should not be. suffered
to become the Instruments of its DEATH.
So, for the future, do not hesitate to say
that any and every measure required to
save the republic from the perils that be-
setit, not only may, but Ought to be taken
by the Administration, promptly and fear
lessly.

unseen, but be assured that by the light
of the stars yon carry upon your banner,
you will find them all.

well assured that your blows will fall up

MORE THAN "TwENTY CENTURIES IooK DOWN

Soldiers, when Napoleon was about to
spur on his legions to combat, on the sands
of an African desert, pointing them to the
Egyptian pyramids that loomed up against
the far off horizon, he exclaimed, "from
yonder pyramids twenty centuries behold
your actions" The thought was sublime
and electric; but you have even more than
this. When you shall confront those in
furiated hosts, whose battle cry is, "Down
with the Government of the United States"
let your answering shout be. "The Gov
ernment as our fathers made it," and when
you strike, remember that not only do the
good and the great of the past look down
upon you from nights infinitely above
those of Egyptian pyramids, but that un-
counted generations yet to come are look

soldiers encamped at the Falls ofthe Ohio.
We regret that the pressure on our columns

striking passages. Mr. Holt's manly and
complete endorsement of the course OF the

his party in tho North. They may well
blush to be outdone by Southerner ut
