DISPATCHES FROM WASHINGTON Nearly every
steamer that arrives from the Potomac, brings
with it some half dozen bearers Of dispatches
TO different points Of the North. There is no
doubt that the greatest activity prevails at the
War Department, and that the most vigorous
and energetic preparations are being made, by
the gallant hero who commands our armies, to
carry on the war effcctually against the rebels
and traitors Of The South. Before tho lapse of
many days, we may look for military move
mcnts, under the direction of General Scott,
which will carry terror into the hearts Of seces-
sionists at the South, and prove to the people
Of the North, that the armies they are levying
are under the control of sagacious, far
sighted and prudent man, who deserves to be
considered the first general Of his age.

Who was on bis way to Washington from the West,

who was on his way to Washington from the West,
to report himself at headquarters, was arrested
yesterday by the Virginia troops on the train from
Wheeling to Harper's Ferry, and held 40 prison
er Of war. 1t is very probable, however, that
Governor Letcher will release him, inasmuch as
ex-senator Mason, Of Virginia, Is now In Phladei-
phia, transacting some private business, in the
process Of which he has not been molested; but
If General Harvey is detained in custody tho Phila-
delphians might be tempted to make reprisal in
the person Of Mr.. Mason.
The Montgomery Congress meets tomorrow,
and as the proposition of Jefferson Davis with re-
gard to establishing system Of priyateering is to
be then considered, and the members are by this
time satisfied as to the general feeling Of tie entire
North ia favor Of aiming the government, the
proceedings Of the session will be highly in
terestiDg.
There is no abatement in the warlikc ardor
which auiraates all classes in this city aud through
out the Northern States. Men and money are still
pouring in rapidly for the service Of the govern
Inent at Washington. The Comman Council has
voted a million and half Of dollars for this
| purpose, the Board Of Supervisors quarter Of
| million aud private subscriptions to the
amount of $500 900 have already been contributed
in this city alone-in making total OF q, 600
not mere loan, but free gift to the govern.
ment, without interest or return OF principal.
Throughout the entire North, mp to this time,
not less than millions Of dollars have thus been
contrbuted-a fact which very plainly indicates
the strength Of feeling in favor Of maintaining
the United States government against its enemies.

THg THEATRE IN WAR TME,--We have
noticed that during the prevailing war OK
element the theatres and other places
of public amusement are quite deserted
The Opera singers have become mute,
concerts have been indefinitely postponed, ana
two Of the principal Broadway theatres -Niblo's
and Wallacks- close their seasons this
week. One Of the managers, Mr.. Fox, of the
Bowery, has already gone Off to the wars, and
several privates in the Thespian ranks have
followed his example. During the war Of 1912,
and the brush with Mexico, the player folk
were always patriotic, some enlisting in the
regular line, and others, forming themselves
into small companies, lowered in the rear Of
the army, acting or fighting, as occasion seemed
to demand. Undoubtedly the dramatic pro-
fession is one which inspires noble sentiments
and stimulates public virtue, and this must
naturally be the case with the performers a.
well as the public. We have no doubt, then.
that our Thespians, finding their immediate oc.
cupation gone for the present, will be glad to
take parts in the drama of real life now being
enacted hereabouts, and will, therefore, be off
to the wars without unnecessary delay.

TIE SITUATION OF AFFAIRS.

Washington is now gayrisoned by $4,000 troops.
All the regiments despatched from the North have
arrived there safely. New York sent the Seventh.
Seventy.Hrst, Twelfth, Sixth, syty-niath and
Eighth; Brooklyn, tho Thirteenth; Albany, the
Twenty .hf,h-each thousand strong; while Mas
and Eighth, numbering tive thousand. Tho
Twenty eighth, Brooklyn regiment, leaves
to-day by the Kcdar, AMI the Fifth Ger
many regiment, now in camp at the Bat
terry, together with the Zouavcs Clremen's eaps),
each thousand strong, also start or the scat Of
war to-day. The concentration OF this large force
renders tic federal capital secure.
The latest reliable reports represent 4 complete
reaction of feeling in Maryland, thus confirming
the news Of yesterday that the Union sentiment
was taking courage anl acquiring strength.
In Baltimore. az well "a in other parts of the
State, the Stars and Stripes were loistei in various
buildings. The message Of Governor Hicks TO the
Legislature, which'has just assembled at Frede-
rick, impresses upon that body tho necessity OF
Maryland remaining neutral % tho only hope Of
safety; but while this sentiment Is indicative Of
friendly disposition towards tho Union ii il mani
testify absurd that mere condition Of neutrality
on the part Of any State can be accepted in the pre-
sent crisis. The Senate has also issued an address
to the people Of Maryland, declaring that the L.
gisa,are VIII not pass an act a. secession; but IL
they believe that the people desire II, they will
give them on opportunity OF declaring for them
selves their future destiny. Such. thcn il tho pre-
sent position Of Maryland.
Delaware has taken q It'll more decisive posi-.
ton for the Union. Governor Burton has issued q
proclamation stating that as Delaware has no
regular militia, or no Militia laws, II cannot be
compelled to place troops under the authority Of
the general government, but at the same time no
advises tho raising OF volunteers, who may, If they
choose, tender their services to the government.
From Virginia we have Intelligence that General
Harper, the commander Of the State troops at
Harper's Ferry, has declared a. the sentiment of
Governor Letcher, that Virginia win permj, no IN.
vasion Of Washington from her soil. Amonss. our
other dispatches, wc publish tho report that the
Secretary OF War, General Cameron, has asked for
an srmistice Of sixty days from Governor Letchcr;
but il is unnecessary to say that this statement is
on the face Of 1t absurd
The news from Kentucky oonfrms the pre-
sious reports Of her intention TO remain
neutral in the contest. The troops which left
Louisville to Join the army Of the Confederate
stntes II appears, was not furnished with arms by
the State, nor had they the sanction Of Governor
Msgoffin for tho proceedings. In Missouri, too,
although The Governor refused to furnish men Ia

THE CHARACTER OF TIE CoNlNG CAlu.uGN.
We have in tho Northern cities at least three
hundred thousand Of the most reckless,
desperate men on the face Of the earth.
The Cloths and Yandals who descended upon
Rome and ensanguined the Tiber with patriciau
blood were angels compared to these fellows,
who are known by the generic name Of "roughs"
OF course they are all in for the war, and tho
spoils thereof-more particularly the spoils.
They have no stake in this world, no hope for
the future. They will fight like demons for
present enjoyment, and where one Is killed
twenty more will spring up in his place. 1t Is
Of such rough material that all invincible troops
are made, That we are to have a fight, that
virginia and Maryland will form tho bat
Vie ground, and that the Northern roughs
WIZ sweep those States with flrc and sword, Is
beyond peradventure. They have already been
excited to the boiling point by the rich prospect
OF piunder held out by some Of their leaders.
and will not be satisfied unless thew have
farm and niger each. There l. no sort NJ
exaggeration about these statemcnts. IA Tho
people of the border States will shortly ascer.
tain 10 their cost The character Of the coming
campaign will be vindtotivc fierce, bloody and
merciless beyond parallel In ancient or modern
history.
