THE WAR.

The war movements are as rapidly ap-
preaching focus as possible. The voIun-
teers are rushing into the service of their
country from the North, Eas, and West-
The patriotism of the masses knows u"
bounds. All are bent on saving the 1oVerh-
ment from the hands of the base traitors VINO
lonp since have been plotting the destruction
of the Union, in order to crafty their insati-
ate ambition. The hydra monsters
who head this uuprovoked, suicidal and wick
ed rebellion, are entirely void of every true
inpulsc of patriotism, and care nothing for
their country except so far as they can
make il subseryient to their vile, selfish ends.
But fearful retributiOn is surely awaiting
them. A thunder cloud of patriotic indigna-
ton is hsverng over their heads, and will
suddenly burst in their midst, with terrific
effect
The troops are moving on to various points,
and are ready for a collision at any moment.
The rebels will soon be compelled 10 lay
down their arms, flee or fight, for The Federal
forces will quickly be upon them. Baltl-
more, Harper's Ferry, Alexandra, and varl-
Gus other places will soon, fight or no fight
fall into the hands of the Government. The
Government will repossess itself of the prop
er'y that those nd pirates have seized up
on, al the earliest convenient day.
There were, on last Tuesday, 29500 VOL
unteer troops sonth of Baltimore, and the vol
unteers were and are still rushing in daily
These are well equipped and aching toI
active service, and will undoubtedly give q
good account of themselves when the proper
time arrives.
The Governors OF Virginia and North Car
oina have recently issued. infiammatory
proclamations to the people OF their respec-
tive States, to induce them to espouse the
traitorous cause, and fight against the FEEDER
al Government, to VIII ch they are indebted
for all that they have that is good and great.
North Carolina has not yet seeded, but her
rebel traitor Governor is not willing to wait
for any such trflng preliminary as that.
