Fortunately the obligations imposed up-
On loyal editors is in accordance with their
views Of duty; hence We hear little of the
movements Of troops in any direction; but
ffom the indications afforded by the local
Columns Of the New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore papers, there seems to be
no doubt that the Grand Army at Wash
mgton is receiving very large accessions-
sufficient ne believe to make it irrezisti-
h1e, when properly disciplined and gal
1antly led. OF course we decline printing
anything more than generalites on this
subject; but we can assure our readers
that, if numbers are Of any avail, they may
dismiss their fears and set down Washing
ton as safe Could we know that tithe
OF the industry expended in massing men
at the Capital, had been directed to hurry
ing re-inforcements forward to Gen. Rosen-
c1anz, we should be eminetly content with
the present aspect Of affairs. But let Us
hope that under the silence which il oh.
served IN regard to Western Virginia,
there has been good work going on; at
any rate, that the fate which befel the he
roic Iycn, may not be in reserve for the
gallant Rosecranz, now threatened BY a
largely superior force.

advantage is now with the rebels, who,
thanks to the treason Of l. Lynde, have made
an unmolested entrance into the territory,
and are free to continue their predatory
operations without felr Of flank move
ment. The key being given into their
hands, they have opened the door and

WHO WILL nor SW1.1,

The action ofthe City Council. on Tues.
day evening, IN passing the ordinance re-.
quiring all citizens suspected OF lisloyaltv,
to take the oath OF allegiance to the Gov
eznment OF the United States was the
subject Of very indignant comment among
ne sem'-secessionists, all day yesterday.
"ehear that they objected to the ordinance
IN question ostensibly because it was passed
by body that had no authority to enter
upon such legislation; and, availing them
selves If that tiimsy excuse, it is said that a
considerable number of them will, when
accused, refuse to comply with the Coun-
ellis reasonable request and endeavor to
oppose legal obstacles to the enforcement of
the mild penalty that has been marked out
We hope thatthere will be no trouble in this
slmple matter. We admit the want of
power in the city authorities to prescribe
any oaths whatever, save those which ap-
pertain to the conduct Of the municipal
business; but the ordinance having passed,
We do not see how any can refuse to COM
ply With its mandates, unless they are at
heart enemies Of the Government and of
the city IN which they live. No loyal
man will object to declaring, in any
manner, by oath or affirmation, his ale
glance to bis country, though the form by
which the declaration is made obligatory
is irregular. Men who do so object, are
objects Of suspicion, no matter what the
extuse set up; and i, upon q point Of pre-
tended honor, or legal quibble, they defy
the popular will, we, who have been the
steady opponents Of mob law in all its
phases, warn them that the consequences
will be more serious than they now ineg-
inc. The people who besought the Coun-
Gil to give them some shadow Of legality
for the proceedings that they contemplate
for Kidding the city of traitorous enemies,
are fea1fully in earnest; and we entreat ali
those who, mocking at their efforts, to be
cha1y Of their insulting speech, lest Chi
cago be saddened by those scenes Of yio-
lence and blood that have 10 long dis
graced the cities Of the South. If there
are any who desire the defeat Of the
Federal armies, the disruption Of the Coy
eminent, and the building up of q new and
hostile power On soil that is yet part of
the American Union, their safest and most
prudent course will be to pack up their
traps, and leave the society Of those at
whose hearts their daggers are aimed
There is in all times ofpublic danger, such
thing as being tolerant to the extent of
criminal weakness; and in the opinion Of
the loyal people Of this city, that point has
been reached here; and they are deter
mined upon speedy and thorough reform.

GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

The Frankfort (Ky.) Consnaontoaalth, q
thoroughly loyal paper, recommends the
Legislature Of Kentucky to meet tie
amount Of the direct tax apportoned to
her BY Congress, by an issue Of State
bonds, rather than, in the present excited
state Of the public mind and the stringency
OF the times, attempt its collection from
the people by means Of ftax-gatherers. The
suggestion, valuable in itself, has its great
est merlt in the demonstration it affords of
the willingness Of d portion Of the Ken
lucky people to meet the obligations Of
good citizenship in prompt and patriotic
manner.

The time for which all classes have been
looking and hoping since the crash
brought en- By secession, seems to be at
hand. The indications in the world Of
trade and finance are encouraging. The
war has settled down into regular busi-
ness, and the people and Government, ac-
cepting it as an unavoidable evil, are ac-
commodating themselves to the fact Of its
existence and arranging their finances to
meet its emergencies. The shock given to
credit is just passing away. The check to
enterprise has been in measure taken off.
The wants Of the new situation have Gre
a!ed new channels Of trade which partially
do the office Of the old The extraordina-
~ expenditures Of the Government
are beginning to be felt. The with
drawal Of nearly half million
Of men from their ordinary pur-
suits, opens wider field to those who have
not obeyed the patriotic call The crops
are good, and money is abundant The
foreign demand for CUR breadstuffs Is large,
and the prospect today is that it will
grow no less. The benefcent effect Of the
new tariff is already putting new vitality
into many branches Of industry, which,
before the Wal, were tagging or dead.
Confidence in the Government is rising;
and under our new military auspices, aid
ed by Cabinet changes that are foreseen,
speedy end Of the rebellion Ia thorrht
to be certain. Above all these, there is q
steady and courageous sentiment Of loyal
ty aninating the people-a determination
to do the part Of patriots in this hour Of
trial-to submit to losses, forego gains,
st1tie expectations, and utter no murmur.
That sentiment is the ladder by which all
our difficulties will be surmounted. In
due time it will bring its reward. We
have glanced at its earlier work; but the
full frui1ion Of patriotic duty cheerfu1ly
discharged, is yet to come
