The Consistency OF Mr. Dougias.

Some members Of the republican press
and party appear to have discovered q
change Of position on the part of Mr..
Douglas. They are loud in their praise
of his patriotism in sustaining the gov.
srnment. This is right. But they ough,
not to be so lavish with their eulogies, and
withhold from him the same high position
before the election. II they will recur to
his speeches during the campaign-par-
ticularly those at the South-they will
understand that he stood then Just as he
stood in his last moment-the defender
Of his country against any and all Of its
enemies.
Mr.. Douglas feared the. election Of Mr..
Lincoln would produce the very result no "
before the country, and he plead with ell
Union men to unite on some ticket to avert
the calamity. He repeatedly proposed
to withdraw his name if that would Sc
cure united vote against . sectional
candidate. But while doing this, he as
repeatedly pledged himself "to sustain
the constitution and the Union, and en-.
force oil the laws under all circumstances.
During his great speech At Norfolk,
Virginia, on the Goth OF August last, the
following scene occurred
In the middle Of his address Q slip of
paper was handed to him. 1t was cut
from the Norfolk Daily Argus, and con-
tanned two polite questions. The first
was, "If Abiahm Lincoln be elected
President of the United States, would
the southern States be justified in seced-
ing from the Union?" Judge Douglas
said: TO this | emphatically answer no.
[Great applause. The election Of man
to Presidency by the American people in
conformity with the constitution Of the
United States would not justify any at
tempt at dissolving this glorious confed-
eracy. [Applause.l The second question
was, "lf they, the Southern States, sccede
from the Union upon the Inauguration of
Abram Lincoln, before he commence an
overt act against their constitutional
rights, will you advise or vindicste rcsis-
tance by force to their secession?" l an
swer einphaticslly that it is the duty Of
the President OF the United States aud
all others in authority under him to en-
force the laws Of the United States pass
ed by Congress and as the courts expound
them, and |, as in duty bound by my oath
and fidelity to the constitution, would do
all in my power to aid the government Of
the United States in maintaining the su-
premacy of the laws against oil resistance
to them, come from whatever quarter it
might; in other words, think the Pres
ident of the United States should treat
oil attempts to break up the Union by
resistance to its laws rs Old Hickory
treated the nullifers in 1882" Ap.
plause.
A reference to history, and little
cool reflection will vindicste the consis-
tency aud policy Of the great statesman
who has been so mysterio usly taken from
the councils Of the nation.

The Seized Tclcgrnpiaic Despatch.

The Commission engaged In examining tho seized
telegraphc dispatches have examined only those OF
the Washington office during February and March
They think II will require three monthes at least to
complete their task.-N " Tribune.
Instead ef seeing its foes "struck by
lightning" as it thought, the government
has burnt its own fingers, in the recent
coup de telegraph. HARvEY's treason,
when it is traced to its source, will reach
back to the Cabinet of Mr.. Lincoln, and
leading partisans of the administration,
it is said, are implicated in other discov.
cries.
It's for this reason that revelation.
are now postponed for three months
The object of the posponement is to throw
the matter beyond the scrutiny Of Con.
gress. That body, when it meets, should
force tho government to justify its viola.
ton Of the Constitution, by the proof OF
vital necessity, or should impesch the
wrong docrs.

HINrs TO LADIEs.-It is a great mis-
take in female education to keep young
lady's time and attention devoted to only
tho fashionable literature of the day. II
you would qualify her for conversation
you must give her something to talk
abont, give her education with the actual
world and its transpiring events. Urge
her to read newspapers and become fami-
liar with the present character and i'm
provement Of our race. History is OF
some Importance but the past world is
dead, and we have little comparatively to
do with it. Our thoughts and our con-
Germs should be for the present world, to
know what it is and improve its condition.
Let her have an intelligent conversation
concerning the mental, political, and reli'
gious improvements Of our time. Let the
gilded ANNALS and poems on the centre.
table be kept part of the time covered
with journals. Let the family linen wo-
men and children-read the newspapers.

Tue PROPOSED CAPftREsOF WAsHNoToN.
The SsneSh are still talking about taking
Washington. "A letter dated at Richmond,
on the 25th, and published in the Memphis
Appeal, cphteins the following
Tbs oecaBions, is highly favorable for the
capture of WssHnstaa, siuce, from the vast
military stores now collected there, the Con.
federate army can supply itstli with an'Outft
for the prQjeelal GaEpaign. By bold and
vigorous movement of Gen. Johnson's diHis
sion into Maryland the enemy's right might
be turned and Washington assailed simultas
neousy in the front and rear. Apart from
the fact that Gen. Scott is known, to have q
long-standing aversion toGfre in Tie direction
last DaIied, this movement would enable our
forces to cut off the retreat Of tie enemy, thus
securing to us the full fruitidn Of the victory.
The plan is feasible, and may, find speedy.
adoption. The Conlederates can take Wash
ington when they list the only question is
can they afford any serious loss in the capture
of a position Of no strategic Importance, and
the capture Of which win inevitably have to be-
foil owed by the destruction Of all the public
property within its limits, which could not be
to the use of the army? Indeed,
/ suppose it is with full knowledge of the
liability TO capture the Federal Capital, and
the strong probability of the occurrence Oh
such an event, that the Lincolni iGovernment is
already clandestinely removing the national
archives to Philadelphia.

officers Of the Navy, who deserted the flag of
the Union for the stripes and bars, and died
recently i'll Charleston, was no common rebel.
As long ago as last january, when in com
mand Of the Mediterranean squadron, Capt.
Ingraham invited a nIeetirg Of officers in Ge'
noa. and laborcd to induce them to- desert the
service and join the rebels. Mr.. w. w. Mil
Ter, of the slOop of war Iroquois of that squad
ron, recently arrived in New ork and has re-
turned to bis home in Wheeling, Virginia.
He is a true Union man, and in referring to
his revelations touching the Genoa meeting,
the Intelligencer says
At this conclaye Ingrahan. and several
more determined to desert the service and join
the rebels, and as an inducement to Mr.. Mil
Ter to join themj they told him that this move
ment in the South would soon end IN a mon
archy; that this was the design, and that all
who now went over would be made uoblemen,
ana given high preference. As soon as this
was announced, Mr.. Miller left their council
board, telling them that he intended to live
and die beneath the flag he was sailing under.
After that they had no further use fcr hirr.

are acting too much on the defensive. He
says
The Congress that is to meet on the goth

claration Of war, and pass n non-intercourse
act, they will furnish the world with conclusive
proof that they are unfit for the times. This
war must go on. The South must fight until
the North sues for peace. Pass a non-inter-
course act, and then she will soon begin to feel
the ruiuous pressure of the war. We must die
tate the terms Of peace; the first article of
which should Gc an acknowledgement, Of the
! right of secession. This is a fundamental prin-
rcipe. The nCSt article slIbTad be, that she pay

tion of property, beth Prblic GmF pri-

RESPONSE aF CAPT. rxER,


In behalf of the members of the Berkshire
Guards l take great pleasure in thapkns the
ladies of Berkshire for the Present of this
beautiful flag, and, Notwithstanding speech
making is entirely foreign to my occupation,
permit Inc to express my admiration not only
Of the fery ariiiable manner, but the patriotic
motives which have prompted the donation Of
this very acceptable present.
Our beloved country so long the abode Of
peace and prosperity, % long the cradle Of civil
and religious liberty, so long the pride and
boast of It's citizens, is threatened with de
Structior aud speedy ruin by the armed trea-
son and rebellion Of Il large portion of our
Southern people.
However much We may regret the shedding
of blood, and especially that Of our recent fel
low citizens, we have no alternative. The
great principles Of civil liberty, the right Of
man for sell-government, the hopes and aspira-
tions of the downtroddcn and oppressed, who
are gazing with unutterabIe emotion at the
approaching contest; sre involved in its mo-
mertuous results. The teeming populations
of the old world, animated by the most noble
impulses, and looking to the people of the Uni
ted States for plotage and instruction, in their
onward march in the great cause of human
rights, call upon the intelligent and liberty
leyirF Veople of the NORTH t9 rrzreh to the
rescue They are not disappointed. There is
universal shower of indignant denunciation
against the slave propagandists and traitors,
rising in thunder tones from the nren and wo-
men of all the States dedicsted to- Freedon+.
The csank Of arms resounds frcm Maine to
| the Rocky Mountain s. Hundred Of thousands
of Freenren, denominated by the slave driving,
aristecratic and reasonable conspira tors of
the South as Mud Sils Of Society" are flock
| ing to the battle field; bearing The glorious
Stars and stripes, the chosen emblem of gen.
erous people to represent the God given prin,
ciplcs, enunciated ly the geeat and departed
Statesmen Of our land in the Declaration of IN
CldpeHdenees that ALL men are created Free
and equal, and are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights, among which
are Life, Liberty, and the PsFsuit Of Happi-
ncss"
In conclusion, 1 would say that should tn
eXigences ofthe contest in which our brothers
are now engaged, indicate necessity for GU
services, we trust that we shall respond wit
patriotic and liberty loving alacrity; march t
the tented feld and amid the carnage and dir
Of battle, prove by courage and good cOnduc
that we are not only worthy of the conidenc
f this day reposed in us by the patriotic lndie

country, but also to be worthy and honore

rha Late Fire in London.

No conhagration since the "Great Fire OF
London" has come near the loss involved ,at

Three scres Of ground we're covered with a
mass of fire, growing ono! cracking at = white
heat like lake orm )lten iron. The saltpetre,
the tallow, the tar, and the other cembustibles
ran blazing into the river until the very stream
appeared to be covered with flames. Ships
were burnt as well a. houses and the danger to

MORE CoNTRABAND UNDER PETTICoATs
An eveut of a mirthful nature, to the lockers
on at least, took place at the Relay House of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad yesterday af
teruoOn
1t appears that female known by the name
of Jenny Smith, had undertaken; in company
with her paramonr, Tan iatlividual named
t4etty,) to convey to Harpcr's Ferry, lot OF
letters and articles "contraband ofwAr." Her
purpose was anticipated, however, by Deputy
Marshal Williams, who stepped upon the
train 1T the Camden street station with her.
and upon renehfng the Relay, informed the
military officers there st;tffose4s ll,at he was
! fully SAT t;sfcd of the fact that Miss Smiths
clothing consisted of more han crinoline.
How to get al the subject" was question
which, for time, seemed to puzzle the gentle
men inspectors, but il was finally proposed
and ncceded to, that committee Of ladie:
should be called upon to perform the search
Accordingly two UAcn ladies were chosen
who at once proceeded TO the task Of corntinc
and feeling the texture of her garments be
meath which they discovered aud brought tC
lis sht about ten thousand military buttons fo
the Eolders of the S0pthern ConGederacy,
considerable quantity Of gun caps, larg,
number Of letters addressed TO well know,
characters Eom Baltimore al IIarper's Ferry
&c. These we're al 7eY7 nicely packed anc
strapped around her waist beneath her cloth
ing. On the person of Mr.. Getty several let
tiers were found. The capture of the prize
was all that the soldiers desired, and Mis-
Smith was allowed to return to the city Wit

Kaatuckv,

The anamalous condition of this State is rap
idly assuming the form Of what Is known as
preciTitatioR. A recruiting Office for the
Southern CorIfetleraoy is opened in Louisville.
Arms aud provisions are constantly transported
over Kentucky soil to Tennessee. The rebels
seize and carry back to the insurgent regions
deserterg from their army. 1t would seem
that the Union men of Kentucky arc either
unable unwilling TO prevent these treason
able doings. II is a question whether a
prompt military occupation of Louisville
would not be a peaceful and prudent measure
for the United States to adopt. Troops must
soon be sent to the relief of East Tennessee.
They must go through Kentucky Shall they
go through hostile territory, or territory

Since the wlr was commenced by the South,
hundreds of rebels and spies have been captured
by our forces, and nearly all have been liberia
ted at once on their taking tho oath OF allcgi
ance to the Ulito States Governmsnt. Not
even the vilest of the traitors hts been hung
in fact '.nobody has been hurt singing
commentary up1u the extraordinary lcnIency
of tho Federal authorities in their treatment
of traitors, detected red banded in the act Of
levying war upon the United States, or in Civ
ing aid and comfort to their enemies by
furnishing supplies, I, cotempor0ry remarks, is
furnished by the last news from Mobile. In
the District Court of the Confederates, in ses
sion IN that city, three men, Eugenio Pacotina
Peter Piech, and Vinoennes CSldneo, have just
been indicted for treason. The high crime
of whiolr these men gSrllty il guilty at all,
is that they sold fruits and vegetables from
eheir schooner, the Hortence, to, the United
States fleet off Pensacol&! The Judge in his
charge to the Grand Jury, instructed that
body that such act was treasonable, and pun
ishable by death Such is secession malignity.
Giving suspected persons the forms of trial
before hanging them, however, Is the Southern
exception rather than the rule.
