THE COMPROMISED

The indications that a compromise be-
tween the rebels and the Government will
be attempted at the approaching special
session Of Congress, are now apparent;
but it is not probable, despite the confident
assertion Of the New York Journals, that
any oyertures have yet been made By either
party in the fight The honor Or dishonor
OF proposing to treat with rebels whom VIC
ehau surely overcome, belongs to men Of
the Border States, Of The Czittenden school,
and to dishonest politicians Of the North,
Of whom Vallandig CHAM, Of Ohio, is the
type. That they will be successful in per
6uading the men who arc determined upon
disunion to lay down their erm., or that
they will be able to coax the loyal troops
who are impatient to assert the supremacy
OF the laws, to yield what the nigger-brecd-
ers demand as the price Of their allegiance,
is so grossly improbable that nobody need
he excited lest the war cloud should pass
over without sending down one Of its thun-
dcrbolts. The day for compromise has
passed. The Republic one and indiyisible,
or the ruin of North and South alike, is
the expression Of the feeling that now ami
mates every loyal breast.

Il WORD NTH LINE,

We have two or three more indignant
letters from Lane, in relation to the recent
hanging Of the man Burke, in TINT place.
They ancge: 1st That he was seces-
sionist; I'd, That he was clearly guilty of
arson in the burning Of the grain ware
house Sd, That he intended to commit
murder, and that the intention was
proved; 4th, That he had mat1red u
plan for laying the village in ashes;
and 5th, That he was looking for
accomplices who would assist him
in burning, as 1ar aa possible, all the
considerable towns in the North All these
things, say our various correspondents,
were indubitably established. Admit it,
what then? Why this: man has been
hung by mob, who, legally and peace
fully dealt with by the proper officers and
tribunals, would unquestionably have
brought TO punishment, without, at the
same time, inflicting upon our State the
shame and disgrace Of yielding up its SOW
ercignty, in any case, before the doubtful
prcroyatiyes Of Judge.Lynch. Now it il

garrulous old fool, whose partizan zeal got
