The VOLUNTEERS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
deserve unqualified praise for their noble action yes
terday and to day in their countrys behalf When
assembled yesterday morning on but an hours
notice, not of them knew that it was designed
by the Government to ask them to volunteer to enter
its service. large portion Of them are men Of
property, and have families. while to man they are
all engaged in business. In calling on them to
volunteer they not informed that it was to be
for three months only, nor were they certain that it
was the Governments design to keep them at home.
On the contrary, there was belief among not few
of them that they were being called on to serve
wherever the country's exigencies might require
their presence. Of course none of them had made
provisions for the protection of their business and
the comfort of their families. Yet on their coun-
try's call few indeed were found to hesitate in the
discharge of the patriots duty and some Of those
who did hesitate, hesitated only because suddenly
to leave their ordinary avocations would be likely to
ruin them, as business men. We do not believe
that on SO sudden CALL and under such circum.
stances so large proportion of citizen soldery ever
before volunteered for actual service Wetherefore
repeat declaration above, that they deserve IN.

approve most heartily the course Of Maj Anderson.
The subject will be more fully considered in for

Dispatches were received by the President last
night from Governor Dennison, of Ohio, and Gov

Rumors from Washington.

It is stated that on Monday last Mr. Lincoln would
issue proclamation calling forth the militia from
all the States, to the aggregate number of seventy
five thousand, in order to suppress the combinations
in the seeded States and cause the laws to be duly
executed. The first service required, it is said,
would probably be to repossess the forts places and
property which have been seized from the United
States.
1t is stated that the proclamation referred to con-
venes Congress on the 4th Of July.

ATTENTION, VOLUNTEERS Nothing IS more pro-
bable than that President Davis will soon march
army through North Carolina and Virginia, to Wash
ington.
Those Of our volunteers who desire to join the
Southern army, as it shall pass through our borders
had better organize at once for the purpose, and
keep their arms, accoutrements uniforms, ammuni-
ton, and knapsacks in constant readiness-Rich-
nond Enquirer.
The foregoing is somewhat confrmatory, if it
means any thing at ALL of the rumored invasion Of
Washington City. The President, it seems, has re-
ceved information of design to attack Washington,
and the volunteers and militia of the District of Co.
lumba have been called out to repe any attack that
may be made.
The very air is filled with rumors. One rumor is
that Davis is about to march on Washington City,
and another is that Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New
York have rendered troops to Lincoln, and that he
| intends to invade the South and march on Mont
gomery!

We very much fear that general civil war i'm
pends We haue told our readers from the first that

We repeat what we said in the last Presidential
campaign, and what we said in last issue, that
"the Union cannot be maintained by force. 1t will
fall to pieces before the first touch of aggressive or
coercive power"
Mr. Lincoln may call, but North Carolina will ex
tend no aid to him IN any effort to coerce the Con-
federate States" The leaders and many of the
people of those States have grievously erred, but
any attempt to coerce them, or to put them down
by force, will make bad infinitely worse. The soil
of North Carolina must not be polluted by the tread
of armed men sent to make war on the "Confede
rate States"
The mission of the border States now is to COM
mand the peace, if possible, and to maintain their
rights in the Union. If they cannot check and CON-
\ troll the two extremes no other power can.
"GooD NEws.-HURRAH FOR WAR!"-The Re-
publican journals are really jubiant at the prospect
of civil war. From the very first they have advo-
Gated the employment Of force to punish and subdue

driven to revouton;snd now they hail with un-
disguised Joy those extensive military and naval
preparations which to inaugurate an era OF ira

do SO. Convention of all the States could either
reconstruct the Union or permit the seeded States
to 60 in peace. As it is, we appear to be drifting
