WHAT FROM WASHINGTON Z

The anxiety to hear the "latest news from
Washington" is very great. 1t makes every
body restless and stimulates perpetual ques-
tions, but does not get satisfaction. There is
no direct communication with Washington,
and TO succeed in getting there, we must run
the gauntlet of batteries up the Potomac, cut Il
path through the Baltimore mob, or steal
round by Annapolis and take our chance with
starvation and the blood tub guerrilla.
This state OF things is not to be endured,
and the whole north should unite at once and
make such path TO the capital as Baltimore
will never again dare to interfere with. Let
that notorious city be made heap of ruins, if
need be, and bury under them the whole gen.
Grafton of rowdies that now make it disgrace
to civilization. AT any rate, we must 60 TO
the capital, and go through Baltimore.
There should b. two hundred thousand men
afoot, as soon as possible, in addition to the
number already called tor b. the president,
and part OF them should occupy Maryland.
There will be an immediate attempt at secession
in that state, las the mob is now in the ascendant,
and that attempt should be crushed out with
such resistess force as will make any repetition
of it impossible. The well being of the whole
country demands the determination of that
Baltimore mob. 1t should feel what it is to
be conquered and crushed and if, to reduce it
to this condition, we must lombard Baltimore
and burn it, blot it out from the face of the
earth, let it be destroyed.

to "conciliate" rebellion long enough. 1t is
time to strike back, and strike hard. The
whole movement of the secessionists has been
war on the government, and on the free
states 1t is time to meet it as it deserves,
and the first crushing blow should be felt by
wretehes who attack. kill, and plumber our
troops in Mary land, and seek to block our
way to Washington. and the next should fall
upon Virginia We have the men and means
to do do the work effectually, and there should
be such force employed as will not leave the
result doubtful for moment. The government,
talking Cancellation and dreaming of peace, ev
identity has not anticipated such conflict as it
now has on hand and, therefore, has not made
timely .preparation for it, Let us not be
toQI1edy to blame it on this account but, in
stead, aid it in the work which it has finally
undertaken with so much energy and activity.
1t would be useless to deny that Washing.
Ton has been comparatively defenceless-that
is TO say, inadequately prepared for such All
assault as was expected but large reinforce
ments have arrived there within few days.
The Massachusetts Eighth and the New York
Seventh Regiments went there through Mary
land. Several other New York regiments are
there, and probably several from Pennsylva-
mia. There is also very large force of troops
from Pennsylvania and Ohio, at Annap.

BRUTAL AssAULT.---John Sherman, who
lives near the floating bridge on the Worcester
side, committed foul assault on a respectable
citizen of Shrewsbury, on Monday evening"
while riding in the Shrewsbury stage. The
gentleman had made some manly remark in
relation to the disunion miscreants, when
Sherman seized him by the collar, and, with
many foul expressions, threatened him with
personal violence. The offender was elected
from the stage.

ment on account of our promptness and cour-
age in pushing to the capital. We hear all
