CHEvALrER FoRSEY.-Chevalier Forney con-
tinues true to his instincts, which are those of
a mean, malicious, low politician. He does not
appreciate the crisis through which the country
is passing, nor the uprising of the national
spirit which is stirring the whole North from
end to end; and his organ, rejecting the con-
temptible character Of the man, is busyipg it
self just now in Ainging his filth abroad, and
in copying the personal attacks upon the pro-
prietor of this journal, which appear in some
of the publications issued from some obscure
corners of this city.
Chevalier Forney is preparing for the dismal
future which is approaching. He knows that
the republicans have discovered that be Is q
bad bargain-that In rewarding his services
they have paid too much for their mutton
and that when they come to elect Clerk
for the next session of Congress he will be
ignominicusly kicked out, and better
man-some one who can be of more service to
the party-will be put in his place. Forney
knows that his time is come; that the pickings
of the Clerkship are about to pass away from
him; that those who bought him have found out
that he is not worth the thirty pieces Of silver
they paid for him. Hinc WG !QchrymG,

ON the 18th, we appealed to the administration
that, "of all things, in order to avoid civil
war OF endless calamities, 1t is most important
to provide against any reasonable or revolu-
tionary movements upon Washington designed
to overthrow the established government
there"
We now hope that our suggestions of January
in regard to our federal capital will be fulfilled
to the full extent Of sixty thousand men, so
disposed as within q few hours to be within
reach of the city. They may be needed there
before the LIST of May, and, if not needed for
the defence Of Washington, they will be useful
in guarding the line Of the Potomac and the
outlet Of Chesapeake Bay, as the movements
of the enemy may require. That the war will
now be carried into Africa there is very little
doubt; and thus, In the fatal step which Vir-
ginia has taken, she may not only suffer the
disruption Of her own territory by the Union
elements Of the Pan Handle and the West, but
she may suffer, within year, to the extent OF
one hundred millions of dollars in the losses OF
her slave property, to say nothing of the horri-
BILE contingencies Of q possible servile insur-
rection.
Meantime, as all hope of the representation
Of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ken
lucky and Arkansas in our new Congress may
now be abandoned would it not be well for
President Lincoln to assume the responsibility
Of summonipg Congress together without de-
lay? The Senate is ready, and a quorum
is elected of the new House. Maryland,
we believe, is the only State likely to be
represented at this extra session which has
not elected its members, and she could within
a week supply this deficiency. To give sys-
TEN, efficiency, prestige and funds for the pur-
poses of our government in the conduct Of
this war; the presence of Congress is needed at
Washington. The resources are at the COM
mand of the government for a short war and
an early peace; and half million Of men
put in motion from the North may prove the
cheapest shortest and most effective argument
in behalf of peace. Let us have no more
cbilds play. The great North is ready, and
New York city and its suburbs alone, if re-
quired, can furnish fifty thousand men and fifty
millions of money for the purposes of de-
cisive war and an early peace.

lHE ONlON EELlN0 AMONGST OUR
lied CITIZENS AND FOREIGN REsIDENrs.-There
can be no greater proof of the unanimity of feel
ing which pervades all classes at the North in
support Of the government than the fact that
not only our naturalized citizens, but foreign
residents, are eagerly volunteering their SER
vices for the contingents demanded by the
President from the several States. Both the
Germans and Irish are Offering themselves in
large numbers; and even Englishmen are being
carried away by the general enthusiasm.
Amongst those of the latter nationality who
have come forward in this generous spirit are
Mr.. Thomas Barry, the manager Of the Boston
theatre, who did good service all through the
Peninsular war, and Mr.. Roderick w. Came
ron, of this city. In declining staff appoint
ment offered him by Colonel NJ. Leay, Mr.. Ca
meron gives expression to the following credi-
table sentiments
There Ia reason why good subject of Great Britain
should not be acceptable volunteer defend the laws
tender myself to serve in the ranks Of the seventy
Hghahders and share the dangers Of those who wear
the tartan San ~, promise 70 be constant
deavo to be present at the moment when the rst shot
is fired.
We trust these facts will be remembered,
should 1t ever again be attempted to lengthen
the term of probation fixed by our naturaliza-
ton laws, or to raise the cry of exclusion
against our adopted citizens. 1t will be found
we believe, ere the conflict in which we are
about to embark is brought to close, that the
latter have been amongst the most ardent and
unselHsh defenders of the Union.

REcossIRUcTIoN.-Who has forgotten the
speech made by the Mississippi political mis-
sionary In Baltimore! He said the object of the
secessonists was not to give up the Union, but to
nrst go out Of il and then procure its reconstruc.
ton by some acceptable amendments to the Con.
stitution. In this manner many Union men were
wheedled into becoming secessionists. Even our
neighbor Of the Baltimore Sun was simple enough
to be caught by this chat and dashed furiously
Into the current Of secession.
The notion was about az wise as Ii would be To
think Of improving beautiful pitcher by frs,
smashing 1t and then sticking the pieces together
with spalding's glue!
But what do we now, Having gotten
seven States out of the Union by this and other
deceptive arts, they now say the Union never can
be reconstructed on any terms, Having failed IN
induce the border States to follow them unde,
the delusive pretext Of reconstruction, they now
change their tactics, and tell them they have mo
alternative but to choose whether they will ad.
here TO the North or join the cotton States Such
are the eoHsiseneiss Of secession Its b.aut., are
fast developing themselves, and we think the
border States will walt awhile before they make
common cause with 1t.
