The War and its Causes.

The N. Y. DAILY News" anticipates an
early clash of arms, and, after pointing to
the activity of thc'trooppboth North and
South, says:
There cannot be less than from forty TO
fifty thousand troops, under the commnad
of Generals Cooke and Ruggles, at Fred
ricksburg, Richmond, Harpers Ferry,
Lynchburg, and Culpepper Court House,
and it is thought probable that they are
concentrating near Dumfries, on the
banks of the Potomac, fifty-tive miles
south of Alexandra, under General Lee,
in expectation of aggressive action on the
part of their enemies.
General Scott appears to have become
suddenly aware that he has no feeble or
inefficient adyersaries TO contend with,
and is ordering forward soldiers, and mu-
nitions of war, from New York, Pennsyl-
vania, and New England, to such an ex-
tent that he will have at his disposal
nearly sixty thousand men, in the District
OF Columbia, and on the heights which
command the Potomac, before the close
of another week. Under such circum-
stances, it is highly probable that battle
is impending, and that a bloody collision
may be looked for within few days
This will, practically, open Mr.. Lincoln's
long wished for civil war. The "irrepres-
sible conflict" will have brought forth its
most hideous fruits at last Where, oh,
where will it end?
A little while ago an all-powerful Abo.
litionist in Boston, "invoked Gods curse
on all compromises" and. amidst the ap-
plause of those who listened to him de-
manded that the "slave States should be
shovelled out of the Union" Since then,
he has addressed the same audience again,
and has issued his fat that they must be
bloodily "shovelled" in again. He is but
the type of the war policy Republicans,
who support the Lincoln administration.
Since 1887, when Abolitonlsm first be.
CAME political balance Of power in some
of the Northern States, il has worked
steadfastly onward, in the path OF seces
sion, and never faltered in its atrocious
Infamous task, Of destroying the unity o.
the Republic. 1t denounced the Consti'
tuition of the United States, and unceas
ingly proclaimed its hatred of Union
which tolerated slavery in any OF it
| parts.

OuTRAGEs AT THE NoRTu.-sA gentleman,
an editor Of a paper in Pennsylvania, call
ed at the office Of the New York Day
Book, and stated that he had been driven
from hishome by parties who had threat
oned his life for expressing sympathy
with the South, and scarcely had he left
when n mob surrounded his house and
rendered even his family unsafe. 1t Is
only the ether day that Democratic cd
itor in Troy, n. Y, who condemned the
war policy Of Linconln, was forced to flee
20 Canada for his life, and the Day Book
is credibly informed that man was hang
ed in Ulster county, N. Y, for expressing
his sympathy for the South in the present
struggle.

LiNcoLN's INA or KENrucRY NErrRAtI-
rY.--lIon. W. i. Underwood, Of KY, in
a letter to friend in ST. Louis, states
that Mr. Lincoln told him that he hoped
Kentucky would stand by the Govern
mcnt in the present difficulties; but If
she could not do that, "iet her stand stR,
and take no part against i, and hai no hostile
step should tread her soR." Scarcely had the
citizens Of Kentucky read Mr.. Under
woods letter before the entire Northwest
crn borderof that Siateismenacedby by Lin
coins mercehary soldiers, aud her COM
merce on the Ohio river almost entirely
broken up. Yot the people Of Kentucky

The Apocalyptic Vials onened.

IL one viii pause and take view OF
the world at this moment, he will see
what was never more perfectly seen upon
the face of the earth. The world is con.
vulsed, as ii probably never has been
since the creation, with wars and rumors
OF wars, by famine and desolation.-
History does not present such i general
tumult of nations as we now see. II
would seem that the vials of the Reyela.
tions were opened, and that discord and
blood were rained down upon our gene
ration. What the issue will be of all the
dreadful ENHANCEMENT which now envi-
ron the nations, time only will show
Certainly no one can divine it. Within
a few years we have beheld the most
magniicently dreadful wars of which
history las any record. Nations have
been conquered and subjugated to the
caprices of ambitious and tyranical sove-
reigns. Indian revolts, Syrian massa-
cres, and murderous seiges have sapped
the ileblood OF millions. Europe is
just now convulsed from centre to cir
conference. Poland and Hungary are
ripe for revolt. Russia has emancipated
her serfs, and annexed large tract of
country lately derived from China. whose
coasts are still infested and guarded by
English and French fleets. Sardinia
stands demanding Venitia and Rome,
and Austria and Germany proper resist
her. France holds Syria for the Sultan
of that wretched country, but is ready
to appropriate it to herself whenever
Emperor Napoleon thinks it policy to do
so. England and France are fitting out
naval fleets for the coasts of the United
States, and the United States themselves
are disrupted, threatening civil war at
any moment. Spain has seized upon
San Domingo and threaten Hayti and
Mexico, while Mexico on her part threat
ems to conquer Texas. Several of the
South American Republics are quarrel
ing. Buenos Ayres and Paraguay are at
swords points. in India famine is fol-
lowing a dreadful massacre and revolt
and this famine reaches in to Persia and
China. In Holland the inundaton of
the country, caused by the breaking
away OF the dikes, has destroyed its
and LETT houseess and starry
ing thousands upon thousands more
The temporal power eff the Pope topples.
The whole world seems on the eve OF
general war, ana is only waiting for some
lne to strike the first blow.
