We are permitted to take the following
extracts from letter written by one of the
Cincinnati Zouaveo, now ia camp near Lan-
caster, Penna. 1t is directed to his father,
and dated May 2, 1861:
There has been some dissatisfaction in our
company on account Of the arms furnished
us, which are old fintlo lock muskets altered
to percussion but the company have
all taken the oath and been mustered into
the service of the United States. Great ex-
ertions are being made to procure the two
regiments quartered here more effective
weapon, and it is hoped they will be success
full.
We are gradually receiving our equip
ments. | have received one pair of shoes,
one red shirt, one pair of stockings, tall
felt hat (Which is a shocking military hat,
and one haversack. We expect the rest of
our uniform tomorrow.
OF our ultimate destination we know
nothing, except that we will remain here
until we are well drilled, and ready in every
respect to take the field; when, it is sup
posed we will be concentrated with other
forces, on or near the Virginia line, north of
Richmond, prepared to make demonstra-
ton on that city in case they should attack
Washington.
We have now two full regiments here,
numbering nearly one thousand seven
hundred men, under the command OF Colo
mel McCook, of West Point-a brother,
believe, of Robert W. McCook, Esq, of Gin
cinnati.
The camp. rules are such as to render it
almost impossible to get outside. There is a
good deal of grumbling about the rations
which are poor; consisting Of bread meat
and coffee for breakfast-bread, meat and
bean or rice soup for dinner, and bread and
coffee for supper. To-day we had potatoes for
the second time since we left Cincinnati,
and they were quite luxury to us.
The weather was very pleasant until last
Sunday since then it has been cold, with
very high winds, and rain every day. We
have had three deaths in camp, two from the
effects of colds, and one from fall received
in wrestling.
1t is almost impossible to change western
money here at any discount: which, how
ever, does not trouble me, as have, luckily
or unluckily, got rid Of all mine, and hear
nothing of any pay from tne Government.
Write often, whether answer or not, as
/ have but little time, being employed in
drilling all day, and sleeping on plank in
the dark at night. Yours, truly,

The elections in Kentucky everywhere
seem to be in favor of the Union, and the
prospect looks fair for a handsome Union
majority, popular and legislative. This
effect-not by any means unexpected-is is
attributable to one Of two canses the doings
of the nervous men, or the attitude Of the
men Of nerve.
As "Sherman's Battery" converted, in a
day, the people of Elkton, Nd, from horde
of rank and rampant Secessionists to body
of orderly and patriotic friends Of the Union,
so the demonstrations in military way on
the north side of the Ohio may not have been
without efficacy as a means Of grace, and an
aid to reflection to those on the South.
Whatever the cause of the phenomena
may have been, we suppose that we ought
to rejoice over its occurrence. We do re.
joice. We humbly trust that we are sufi-
ciently thankful. Kentucky may now be
looked upon as safe for the UniOn-if some
body does not precipitate her which Heaven
forbid.

To Ghe Editors ofta Daily Press:
All true and right minded persons must
admire the liberal sentiments pervading your
well-written editorials. When you defended
the right of free speech in behalf of Henry
Ward Beecher addressing us and condemned
the unmanly timidity which refused him the
same hall before granted to leading South
ern disunionist very many good people re-
joiced in your brave consistency.
In much that you say in answering your
Kentucky correspondent we also concur, II
that or any other State must secede, it should
certainly be done as you suggest, in a quiet
aRd harmless manner. Nor are we at all GER
tain that it would be wise or just in our Gov
eminent to attempt to force back such a
Prodigal by the "Dogs Of War"
Nevertheless, can we truly say that any
State or people have the right to revolution
ize upon their mere ehoiee2 All action
more especially that sundering the solemn
ties of great eommunity-ought to proceed
on good reasons. There Is in all cases an
ultimate standard of right and sorong, inde-
pendent of the mere choice of men. Ignore
this and the basis of every fabric in society
is gone. "The foundations are destroyed
and what shall the righteous dof' Hence,
when our fathers declared themselves Rb-
solved from their allegiance to England, II
was on the ground not of their naked
choice, but of grave and repeated wrongs
which had broken the political bond hitherto
uniting them TO Briton. Now, If south Car
olina and the States she sedueed awsy can
chow expressions from our Government like
unto those our fathers specify in the Decla-
ration, we will coReede her reason 10 secede.
Let Kentucky do this, and then it viii be
time to admit her right to 60 in peace. But

how can she be absolved from her sacred OBJ

q rebellion; and the Government at WASH
ington takes a similar view Of the doings in
the South. So long as Mr.. Lincoln abides
by the letter Of his oath Of Office he can
scarcely do otherwise; at least until he Is
constrained 10 do 20 by some overpowering
consideration; and until he becomes subject
TO such constraint Il is not easy TO zee how
he can recognize those doings in any other
light than as merely insurrectionary.
There are two modes by which govern
ments may be constrained; by resistance on
the part of the insurgents beyond its power
to overcome, and by the sentiment Of its own
people adverse to further forcible measures,
and denying to it the means necessary to
prosecute its operations. In either case the
cath Of Office ceases to be binding upon the
Executive conscience; and the way is opened
for the acceptance Of the revolution as an es-
tablished fact. Admitting the right of revo-
luton, we do not therefore pronounce CEN
sure upon Mr.. Lincoln for his course, because
1t seems difficult to see how he can pursue
any other. ,..
Foreign governments have still another
standard of right in these matters. With
them, the question simply is; Is there
governmental de .fdetoP The part of prudence
teaches that there should be no haste in
recognizing a newly-founded and perhaps
only ephemeral polity but to do so, when
ever there is government which is obeyed
as such by the people over which it processes
to rule, is no cause of war or even of COM
plaint by the dsmantled nationality. France
recognized the United States very early in
their war of independence, and we are so
used to speak of that act in terms of ap-
proval, that we are barred by our own
principles from condemning a similar course
when preeticed toward others.

Letter from n CIncinnatian in washIngL

Letter from n CIncinnatian in washIngl
The following letter from Oincinnatiau,
now in Washington, gives very graphic
account of the condition of things in the Ma
tional Capital. He went to Washington
before volunteering, butjoined the National
Rifles, as soon as danger presented itself:
arrived here in due time from Cincinnati,
without distractions or delays. l should
have written sooner, but the mails have been
cut off, and | was in doubt whether or not
a latter would reach you.
When | had arrived here, Virginia had
just seeded, and no troops from the North
had arrived. Of course every one was
alarmed, and set about taking measures,
either for escape or defense and well they
might be alarmed, for five thousand men,
with assistance from the Secessionists inside
the District might have easily taken the
city. As every man counts in such an emer-
geDcy, l Immediately volunteered, and had
rather hard time in guarding the Depart
ments, the boats that were seized on the
river, &c. When the Massachusetts, troops
were attacked in Baltimore, we were more
than ever confident of an immediate attack,
supposing the design was to cut off troops
from the North, and make an immediate de-
scent upon us; but since the New York
Seventh Regiment, and the Massachusetts,
troops opened the road to Annapolis, we
have had large re. endorsements, which have
made us feel freer, and relieved US Of much
guard duty.
The city is now capable of successful
defense, and | hardly think they will now
try to attack us, although we are so cut off
in our communications South that we know
little of their plans and preparations.
The secessionists here appear frightened
and discouraged, and are leaving the city.
We had most to fear from them. l don't see
how we can avoid battle, and it may be
near here. The case of the South is desper-
ate, and requires a desperate remedy, and it
must be speedily administered. The militia
of the District have all come up to the sup
port of the Government
When we were anxiously awaiting for the
Seventh Regiment, our company of Ma
tional Rifles" we're ordered out to see that
the road was unobstructed to the Annapolis
junction, and we were warned to be on the
alert, as we should probably have some work
to do. ] did not anticipate fight, however.
We met scattering party Of the Seventh at
the junction, and | assure you we were no
less rejoiced than they were. y There

ciplined. The Rhode Island Regiment meets
with universal favor, all being picked men,

do good service if we come to blows.

Fancy War.


We do not intend to give any more money
for fag-raisings, or alute-frings, or any
other of the operations of fancy war-there.
fore, no body need apply; and we advise our
fellow. citizens to come to a similar resolu.
ton. There are reasons for this, aside of
the admonitions against squandering which
are furnished by the want of the common
necessaries of life experienced by so many of
the poorer classes of the people. In proper
tion as the fancy war spirit is cultivated, the
real is lost sight of. We get false appre-
citation of the facts of our case, and learn to
look upon the thing as done, while we have
hardly entered upon the beginning.
Fancy war is rather an entertaining oc-
cupation. To raise trim and shapely pole,
elevate thereon splendid edition of the
stars and stripes, call the idlers together
with a band of music, sing "The Star-span-
gled Banner" deliver a hourishing patriotic
speech, interrupted, every moment, by thun.
ders of applause, and close the proceeding
with a national salute roared from the mouth
of piece of ordnance, has fine look about
it, and, under the enthusiasm of the occa-
sion, we are ready to affirm that we are in
vincible-thst our enemies are already in
psroxysms of fright at our martial aspect,
and that we have nothing to do but look q
foe in the face, to cause him to melt inconti-
nently from our presence.
We shall find that they who do the fancy,
are not the ones who will be relied upon to
do the real war. War is a serious thing. It
is business and work. Enthusiasm is not
needed to carry it on, but conviction and
determination. In proportion as we culti-
vate the imagination, we neglect the stronger
and more substantial of our faculties. The
true war.spirit is stern and practical. The
truly great commander is the most practical
Of all styles of character; and the more en-
tirely the soldier is left TO a cool consid-
Grafton Of his duties, the better he will be
prepared to perform them.
All the soldiers that are required at present
are enlisted and in camp. The first duty is
TO see them provided for and made comfort
able. This is thing that has been shame
fully neglected. While our citizens have
been winning victories with brave words and
windy offerings, the soldiers upon whom the
! fighting is To deYolve have been undergoing
exposures more inimical 10 life and health
than battles. Camp Harrison, if things are
not mended, will be an Aceldama. Let us,
at least, postpone the fancy business until
the necessities of the soldiers are supplied.
And then let everybody who is net going

The time fixed by the Presidents Procla-
nation. within which the rebels in arms
seaipst the Government were required to
disperse, expired Saturday. Yesterday was
doubtless devoted by the President to the
performance Of bis religions duties, and to
soliciting divine aid in his endeavors to
melt the hearts Of the rebels and bring them
70 sense Of their duty 70 themselves and
their country; and active operations may be
expected 70 begin to-day--or soon after
ward.
The rebels have not dispersed; it is there
fore logical 10 presume that the FIRST enter
prise undertaken by the President will be
with view 10 disperse them. Ashley have
not advanced upon Washington, it may be
supposed that they have decided to remain
where they are-at Richmond and vicinity
and await the attack of the Government
forces. This would seem to be the more
prudent course, as Il will lead the invading
army march Of an hundred miles, and over
into the enemy's country, where II will be
surrounded By foes and subjected 10 the an
noytnce and danger Of guerrilla warfare.
whether the Government has forces
enough at and near Washington to protect
thsrear otthearmy on such an expedition is
doubtful. II may expect to find an active
enemy in every Virginian, and all Maryland
will be ready to rise at once on the least
reverse or appearance of weakness. Every
thing win be done to retard the march,
intercept the supplies and cut off the retreat
It is, therefore, serious undertaking, and
will not, we presume, be attempted without
the most abundant and careful preparation.
1t is fair TO presume that the expiration Of
the Presidents day of grace will be followed
by some active demonstrations upon the
Southern coastal Charleston, or Pensacola,
or Mobile, New Orleans or Galveston. The
greater share of the regular army must have
gone in that direction, besides some volun-
teers, and it is not to be supposed that they
have been sent for no other purpose than to
keep up an idle blockade against Govern.
ment without navy. 1t is, therefore, not
unreasonable TO expect, before long, some
stirring news from that quarter.
