THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

At the hour Of going to press last night but
little news had been received by telegraph, the
wires working badly in consequence of the storm.
The most important intelligence was that OF the
assembling Of respectable and enthusiastic Union
Convention at Wheeling, in Western Virginia,
composed of delegates from 20 counties. This
movement In that quarter is worth an army in
itself, because 1t bewilders the counses and par
alyxes the arm of the rebels. If the President
acts with energy and decision in supporting this
loyal movement, the secession Of Virginia will
add little to the actual resources of jeff Davis.
1t Is said that person employed in the Sc
cret service of the Government has recently re-
turned from Harper's Ferry, and reports that
)le Rebel force there numbered 5000 last week,
Dbout 1000 Of whom were well armed, the rest

NEUTRALITY,

Ii is not at all too early to enforce the good
old rule that "he who 10 not for us is against
"us." A pretended neutrality, having no other
purpose than to secure time for preparation,
should be suffered no longer. The experience Of
the past six months has been a useless lesson if
we have not learned from il that treason is so
strong in every Slave State Of the Union, that it
is sure to assert itself as the dominant feeling if
time enough is permitted it TO mature and OPP
portunty is given for preparation for armed re-
belIion. No Border State should be left uncccu-
pied any longer than is absolutely necessary that
has not readily and cheerfully answered to the
Presidents requisition for troops. They should
be treated as traitors in interest, if not in act,
aud such treatment would include them all.
We published yesterday report of n CONVEX
saton between Col. Tlghman of the Kentucky
forces and Col. Prentiss the commander of the
Federal troops in Cairo. The mission of Col.
Tighman, il is said, "was peaceful" 1t is time
we were done with this sort of cant; his position
is that Of traitor. This Colonel is at the head
of body of armed men, regularly organized
trooUs, when the Governor of the State has
insultingly refused to obey the laws of the
Federal Government, and to furnish her quota
required by the President for its defense. If
to the Government, and every man Of it, from
the Colonel down to the smallest drummer boy,
is traitor in arms. Ii is a legal absurdity for
Kentucky or any other State to pretend to have
armed in her own defense. She can claim no
right of defense except through and by the Fed.
eral Government, and any other, at such q time
as this is an oicnse TO the Union, and aid and
comfort to the traitors who are seeking
its overthrow. 1t was this truth that
gave force to the reply Of Col. Prentiss
to Col. Tilghmans assertion that Kentucky
would not consent to the blockade of the Ohio.
"If," replied Col. prentiss, Kentucky is, as
you say, loyal State, she would have to
" allow the bockading of the Ohio" 1t was a
succinct statement of the whole case. If Ken.
lucky is loyal she must submit to the laws of
the Federal Government and the measures
adopted to enforce them; if she does not submit
she is not loyal; if she is not loyal she is q
traitor; if not for Us, she is against us, aud
should DO treated accordingly. Having refused
to supply force for the defense Of the Union,
she eau have no other purpose if she has Il force
on foot, than to use it against the Union. All
her propositions for peace are merely propositions
for time. 1t il idiotic to believe anything else
of her. Col. Pren,iss has precisely the sainc
reason to expect an attack from Kentucky as he
has from Tennessee, only that Kentuck! IL not
quite so far advanced in her preparations, or,
being Border state, il compelled TO be Iaore
cautious.

Some Of the Richmond papers make charge
of iDgratitude against the New-lork Seventh
Regiment on the ground that few years ago
they enjoyed the hospitalites of that city. What
remote hospitality has to do with present rebel
lion it might be difficult to show; but in this case
the obligation, if such exists has been strangely
magnifed. Richmond did literally nothing in the
affair alluded to-the removal of the remains Of
President Monroe. New.York bore all the ex-
pense of boats, troops and accessories, and
while in the City Of Richmond the members Of
the Seventh Regiment spent about $40 per man,
while the natives disgorged less than 81 head
on their behalf. 1t was not deemed a matter
of consequence at tae time, AID would not now
be recalled save to show the miserable founda.
tion for this charge Of ingratitude. The Seventh
Regiment are second TO none ia the honorable
courteses of peace and the pleading of former
social intercourse against their present hostile
attitude is about as small a piece of babyism as
ever came even from the 4. L. VS. Of Viz
ginia.

1t is a mistake to suppose that the Rev. DR..

ing his services as a field hand for life to Caro-

that, while the pous pastor considers such sitna-
tions admirably adapted to the moral, social and
physical wants Of colored ministers of the gospel
and their posterity in perpetuity, he has no doubt
whatever that his own proper field of labor is in
