regularly supplying their customers, Hou-
ses' that were insultingly entered by ssces-
sionists in search of guns, provisions. and
plumber of various kinds, are guarded by
Union men who quietly ''present arms" to
their superiors and modestly bow to citi-
zens. Heads Of families that were buried
in boxes with just enough air to sustain
! life, that they might not be dragged into
the traitor service, are uucautiously prom
enading the streets eagerly asking that our
troops may continue to guard them from
the "mean secessionists." Persons that
sympathized with the rebels at first, are
being satisfied of their error, and giving
every assurance of loyalty. What does all
this prefgure. Simply this, that the war
now progressing will be the means Of con-
vincing our Southern friends that we have
our full quota Of gentlemen and brave sol
diers who have as much civility as those Of
any other section or country on earth. In
addition to this, our soldiery cannot avoid
manifesting fraternal feeling toward
those who remain unarmed, and who have
thus far refused to. discountenance the Stars
and Stripes-thus evidencing the fact that,
whilst they are determined to thrash traitors
or die in the conflict, they know no re-
vengeful or unmanly emotion. When the
Southern people are thus fully aroused to
the truth, no rebel clan can e'er dissuade
the masses from the right again. All this
must inevitably result from the present re-
bellion, if thoroughly quelled, as we be.
lieve it will be.
Thousands Of hearts are anxiously await
ing a settlement of our troubles hearts,
too, that placed their choicest offerings upon
the alter Of their country, and babe them
stand by our flag, and fit fell to fall with it.
The millions yet loyal are moved by the
same patriotism. While this is SO, weknow
and feel that all is well; that the rebellion
will be crushed; that traitorous hearts viii
not again attempt 50 unholy work for time
to come; that we will have better and more
durable union than hitherto; that the op-
pressed nationalities of Europe now bleed
ing from every pore, will feel that'the expert
ment of our popular government is success
full; that the blessings and historic achieve
ments Of our fathers will continued to their
posterity

The news from Washington begins to
look as il the President intended to carry
out the pledges of his inangural.-to collect
the revenue and retain the forts. Secretary
Seward, it is said. has written to Governor
Pickens that Fort Sumter must be supplied
with provisions from Charleston markets.
AMI IL this is denied the Government would
furnish IL with such articles as were needed
Hostilities were expected to commence at
any hour. The N. Y. Herold's correspon-
depce says portion of the feet to carry
supplies TO Major Anderson would reach
Charleston en- Tuesday. This must be re-
ccived with some allowance.
The dispatches contain q great many
lille minors which we do not think it ne
ccssary to repeat, as most Of them will
probably be contradicted tomorrow
There is one fact. however, which IT affords
Us much pleasure to record. and that is that
the Democracy have not yet had the op
portunity Of rejoicing over the evacuation
Of Fort Sumter. and We hope they will moi
have.

to put vulgar construction upon some

and foams that he was struck IN q tender
spot. We made no charge in the case.

been the person guilty Of the crime alluded
to stirred up his wrath wonderfully, be-
traying thereby much more than he inten-
ded. "The CALLED jade winces." Then. il
our language was obscene what was the
act to which we referred?
But. who can refrain from smiling to
hear Docket Fee prate about decency?-
Did he not less than two years ago sup
port and advocate the claims of a notorious
adul,erer and libertine for one Of the best
Offices in the county? Did he not after the
election attempt to force this same adnl-
terer and libertinc upon the people contra.
nv to their will and in violation CT law?
Is he not now trying. as tho attorney o.

leaders are honest, and that Affidavit. his

the article in our paper which has caused
such storm OF indignation in his rirtuou'
bosom, says:
"Would any man after realizing that con

that the editor and publisher OF that paper
is a husband and fatheri-that he has son,
who are looking to him for examples o.

For the last three or four years they have
