felt perfectly satisfied it would, like much
that we get from the correspondents Of
the New York press, mere canard, has
had an excellent effect in showing how
thoroughly in earnest the people OF the

IRENE necessary for the suppression OF
this rebelion--how willing to uphold
I how great their confidence in the men
who are willing TO assume the RESPONSE
bilily of inaugurating measures of sever
ity against the traitors. We know how
difficult it is, sometimes, TO bring our ru-
lers up to the ultra standard OF the peo-
pie. We have seen, throughout this
whole slavery contest, how much in ad
vance the masses were Of the politicians,
and therefore we confess TO having some
doubt at first whether the bold stand of
FREMoNT would be sustained by the gov
eminent. But the people of the North
west heartily applauded his measures. as
we believe the loyal men over the whole
country have done.r They believe that
the time for temporizing with this rebel-
ion has gone by believe that it is right
and just and necessary that confiscation
Of property, that forfeiture of liberty and
life, should be declared the penalty of re-
bellion everywhere. They want this dis
ease treated with heroic doses. They
don't want the strong hand of military
power held back from traitors by any.

possibility of meeting its difficulties with
promp,ness and with severity. The de-
termination TO use his power thus severe

FRIEND RIcu The events OF the past
week, in this vicinity, have not been
very exciting. i is true there has been
some skirmishing of the two grand ar

from day to day, that Beauregard was on
The point of attacking Washington, and
lhat tie grand battle of the war was sure
TO be fought before the close Of last week.
But here we. are, safe and sound vet;
and so are like TO be for many days to
come From my opportunities Of, judg-
ing /, | do. not think Gen. Mcclellan is
near ready to make an extensive Jo,sOard
movement but he as quite ready and
anxious TO defend the capital against any
force that the Rebels can bring against
it. There is no doubt but tho Rebels
would be very happy to take Washing
ton, and if circumstances were at all ia
vorable, they would, doubtless, make the
effort. Bat circumstances happen to be
far otherwise. aud that part of the game
is effectually blocked.
Just nov the city is very quiet, not
withstanding all the rumors to the con
trary, and people are attending to their
various pursuits, as they would in time

coming here, without any knowledge Of

quietly attending to their business pur-
