Are We Prenared 7

Events of vast importance are hurrying
upon the Nation in rapid succession. War
in all its terror is upon US. Traitors have
planned the overthrow of the Government,
and they have succeeded in dragging al
most the whole South into the vortex of
disunion. It is too late to discuss the
canses. Patriots have lost sight OF politics,
and, in the North, have rallied as one man
to support and maintain the GoVernment.-
How long or how bloody will be the war
we know not. But it is upon us, and it
becomes us as prudent men to look the dan
ger full in the face, and prepare for the
worst We do not wish to become alarm
lists or to awaken undue fears in our COM
munity but the question is often asked,
are we doing all we should, for our own
peace and good order as a city ?
In these times of stirring events and wild
excitement there may be dangers at home
Desperate characters aud designing men
are always ready to take advantage OF
troubles such as the present to disturb
the quiet and safety of citizens and proper
ty. And while we are as yet on amicable
terms with our neighbors in Kentucky, and
desire earnestly that we may have no cause
of quarrel with that State, still the condi-
ton of the country makes it the imperative
duty of citizens to take all prudent meas-
ures for the safety of our own homes. Ken
lucky may prove true to the Union, and
thus win for herself an immortal place in
the nation but we must not forget that
Virginia is in arms against the government
pledges of patriotism that Maryland has
fired upon the flag of our country and
that it is not impossible that even Kentucky
in these times of anarchy and treason may
lose sight of her duty. We may be upon
the border, and it is we'll for US to be pre-
pared for the worst, while we do all We can
to arrest such an event.
Our volunteer companies are thoroughly
organizing, and, as prudential measure fol
the safety of our homes, they should b.
armed and equipped for our defense We
are informed by gentlemen just from tht
Capital, that the State is unable to furnish
them with arms. There is but one Other
e5urse to pursue, and that speedily. Delay
is dangerous. Let US do as all the border
Cities are doing. Do as our sister town o
Mt. Vernon has so wisely done. Let thu
city, the county, and the citizens come ri
to the work. We learn that the County
Commissioners are convened for to-day t.
take action on the subject. They should
not hesitate to appropriate at least fiv,
thousand dollars. The city should do a
much, if her resources will allow. Tn
Banks the property holders, and all GU
citizens should respond with willing an
liberal hand. We must sustain the Gov
ernment or our property is worthless. W
must protect our homes, or our wives an
our children may be in danger. We hav
already lost more than week of prepara
ton. Let us not lose another day. LIZ
action be taken, to-day. .- rfs

The Nauzn

The dispatches this morning indicate that
Baltimore is still under a reign of terror
Mobocracy in its worst form prevails. But
the dispatches that the Catholic Cathedral
was burned can hardly be credited. The
Secessionists are hardly 80 insane as to add
the crime of sacrilege to that of treason.
1t is reported that the city had been
shelled. Whether this is SO or not, the
country is getting to feel, as the New York
Herald says, "that another ruffianly Or
revolutionary demonstration or two ought
to result in the reduction of the city to the
condition of Fort Sumter .a-
The negroes of Maryland are getting to
hear ofthe war, and are taking advantage
of it.
st. Louis is furnishing troops for the war.
Public sentiment Yields a mighty power
1t has opened the eyes of Caleb Gushing
He says he has gone to Massachusetts, toj join
a regiment for the defense of the Union.
The traitors are adding another crime to
their ignominy. They have turned pirates
and are preying upon our commerce. There
is but one punishment for pirates, and the
last of them will soon be swung from the
yard arm.
The news from Norfolk indicates a seri-
Gus loss to our naval force. The Merrimac
was one of the finest vessels of the IiHe.-
We may expect these reverses at the outset
of the fight, but in few days when the
power of the North begins to be felt, the
Southern traitors viii quail before its
Avenging strength.
The Mayor of Baltimore has had con-
ference with the President relative to the
passage oftroops through Maryland. Gen.
SCOTS mode is the best, peaceably if we
can, forcibly if we must"
The uprising of the North is such as the
South never anticipated. While the men
by hundreds of thousands are ready to
march to the defense of the government,
patriotic women are ready to accompany
them to bind up their wounds, as will be
seen by the Philadelphia despatch.
