WILL THEY ATTACK?

In support Of the opinion that Gen, Beaure.
gard cannot long delay an attack upon the
national lines in front Of W sshington, it s said
That his troops will become demoralized and
disbaud, if they are not permitted to fight.
That bis troops csnuot be supplied with pro.
visions, and must therefore fight or retreat.
That the leaders will make an attack out Of
death in battle and death by the hangman.
As to the first suggestion, it is negatived as
matter Of fact and experience, by the months
of patience and selfcommand displayed by the
rebel troops before Fort Sumter, and still being
displayed by them before Fort Pickens.
As to the second suggestion, it admits oftwo
answers. The troops at Manassas Junction
can be provisioned there as easily as anywhere
else in Virginia. That they are short of pro-
visions, is thing of which there is no evidence,
and which is not probable in itself. Virginia,
so far as bread is concerned, is an exporting
State, and although it may be short Of pork,
abounds in beef.
As to the desperation Of the leaders, there is
uo occasiou ior IL, 50 iong as 'here are rail-
roads and swift horses TO retreat upon. The
leaders in Virginia will scamper, when The
time comes, after the fashion Of Gen. Price
and Gov. Jackson, of Missouri. In preference
to death in battle to day, these men will prefer
death by any other method, if it can only be
put OF till tomorrow.
The reasons which dissuade the rebel leaders
from an attack are numerous and strong, the
most obvious one being, that the continuance Of
the present state Of things falls in with the line Of
policy which they believe is the only one which
will save them, viz: wearing out the free States
by delay and expenditures.

THE GREAT LIE.

The sovereign people Of Virginia. unbiased ;" &c.
So commences the recent proclamation of
John Letcher, as Governor of Virginia, ad-
dressed to the people Of the northwestern por.
ton OF that State.
The phrase contains lie, which, if it were
but the lie of however eminent a politician
seeking to carry point by trick Of words,
might be passed unnoticed.
But it is lie with death on its wings. 1t is
a lie which, ere the blossoms of spring come
again, is to carry grief to many household
aud death to forms now animate with bounding
life.
The people Of Virginia were never sovereign.
Up to the commencement of the revolution,
they were subjects Of Great Observation-Disclosures,
whose first families" hung round the courts
of colonial Governors and humbled themselves
to get from the British treasury support for
idle and thritless relatives.
The people of Virginia are not sovereign.
In the war Of the revolution they acquired the
right to be States, first Of a Confederation, and
afterwards Of the Union-a qualified State
hood which they were glad to accept.
Did Virginia win her freedom, her assumed
sovereignty, from Great Britain2 When and
where2 On what battlefield? By what com.
pact t? None anywhere. All that was won,
was won by the people Of all the States-no
sovereignty for Virginia, but independence Of
the British crown, nationality for all the people.
Virginia is no sovereign. By the Constitu.
L 4 ~ Il -, ,ol
set down what was won in the war that pre-.
ccded it-by the Constitution, Virginia, as
every other State, is prohibited from having
an army or navy, from making treaties, from
coming money, from issuing bills of credit
All these vital and essential conditions of SOW.
ereignty are denied her.
This fallacy of State sovereignty is tha,
| which underles all our difficulties. A verdict
of guilty of treason and death by the halter
thereupon to such as Letcher, may follow its
assertion in arms. But the forfeited lives ol
these will not call back from bloody death and
heaped.up burial those brave men who now
with beating hearts in bravery, advance from
North and South to settle, on CORY fields
whether or not we have a nation, whether OF
not the star Of our country is to 60 down ir
darkness and desolation. These men, stark il
death, not all the liars in politics can conjure
back.
We may hope that their blood will not bt
poured out in vain. In vain it will be, if thu
trcks,ers and compromisers of politics cal
stay this war and save the necks of traitors
A compromiser now is as surely traitor and {
murderer as any in arm1-as Davis or Beaure
gard. They should be dealt with as summarily

of neutrality. She desires to stand with her
hands in her pockets while traitors destroy the
Union, the Government, the Constitution, and
all that makes American life toiersble.
