WASHINGTON, June lO.l861


During last night, and early this
morning, another great movement as
made by the Grand Army of the
United States At eight o'clock in
the evening the Marine Artillery of the
Rhode Island regiment went, via the
Relay House, to Frederic K, or it may
be neaser to the traitors at Harper's
Ferry. This morning, after daybreak,
they were followed by trains carrying
the three New England regiments !;
while at the same time a division of
10000 troops supplied with every
war apparatus and camp equipage,
marched out the Seventh street road.
The destination of the latter body is
not certainly known outside of the
Military Bureau, but it is presumed
that it's destination will be some point
in Virginia upon the other side of the
Potomac, and south of the Secession
camp at Harper's Ferry. This move
ment it would seem, to surrounding,
or, en- maelitoire, masking, if not cap
tnring Harper's Ferry. At any rate,
We are on the tiptoe Of expectation,
and it will not be long before we hear
of some decisive blow being struck.

The Geographic coup d. etat, under
the auspices Of the War Department,
by which a vast amount of secret
intelligence, exposing the design ofthe
Disunionists and their sympathizers,
has been made public, will end in some
strange revelation. Nearly eight weeks
ago highly respectable gentleman ap-
praised the Administration, upon
authority he could not reveal, that one
Of the most prominent appointees of
the President has been in teIegraphic
communication with the traitors at
Charleston He gave the name of the
appointee, and yet from motives high
ly honorable, the Senate was permit
ted to act upon the nomination of the
President, and confirmed it. Since
the capture of the Geographic dispatch
es, however, the admonition referred
to has turned out to have been well
founded, and now the appointee ref,
erred to will be recalled. Happily, he
has gone to a court at which he can do
no mischief; and when he returns,
will doubtless take care to avoid the
generous Government that he betray-
ed while eagerly asking and greedily
taking its favor

Shall we have a short war or long
war? This is the question. Shall
the blow be sudden and a crushing
one, or shall we resort to a slow, tor
turing process. In all circles the sub.
iect of discussion is, whether the con-
test shall terminate within few weeks
or to be protracted through long
wears. 1t is cOntended that gather
ing an overwhelming force, and throw
ing it like q thunederbolt upon the
traitors, is the wVy to vinuicate the
good cause, to strengthen ii e Consti-
tntion, and to perpetuate the Union.
My opinion is clearly in favour of a
short and decisive solution of the
great problem, 1t is very true that
we can afford to wait; that the Gov
eminent is strong and that i'll its
passive attitude, looking upon the
traitors menancingly, and gathering
slowly in its full force, it may starve
and subdue them. 1t is also true that
the free states have so many material
elements Of prosperity among them
selves, that they can endure while the
cotton and the tobacco States Ian
guish and. die. But the longer our
difficulties remain unsettled, or the
more steadily conclusive battle is
pushed off, the more danger there is
of factions in the loyal States, and
the more probability of involving civ.
lied Europe in our quarrels, and s o
extending the conflict to other ma
tions. Occasional

1t having been reported that a
large number OF arms had been stored
at Havana, under the protection of
the British flag, for the Confederate
st ates, Consul Shufeldt was directed
to inquire into the subject. A letter

which he says that the matter had
previously engaged his attention
He had found that all munitions of

from thence by express permit from

be impossible to land the number

NIT the illicit Importation of such a
large amount of arms to the Island of
Cuba besides he had the assurance of
the Captain General that it would be
not permitted. A Spanish house had
ordered in Belgium 10000 rifles, with
the view to speculate in the present
crisis. AS the house has failed, he
presumes that the order will not be
filed. He is under the impression
that a few rejected muskets of the
Spanish army have been sold there,
at public auction-say l0,000-and
that these are the only arms which
have gone from Havana to orr South
ern ports for the Secessionists.

Editorial Meeting.

Thursday, June 9th was the day
appointed for the Quarterly Meeting
Of the New Jersey Editorial Associa-
ton at Morristown. In consequence
OF the severe storm which prevailed
on that day, the attendance was slim,
only about dozen Editors being
present, and nearly all of those were
from the south end of the State, who
left home the day previous. The peo-
pie Of Morristown, anticipating a res
pectable turnout, had made exten-
siye preparations for tie entertain
ment of the Editors-providlng a
splendid dinner, and large number OF
carriages with hich they intended to
convey them to the most prominent
objects of interest in the vicinity, and
also to Boonton, where are located
the most extensive iron works in the
country, and other mannfact -
At Boontor, also, great preparations
had been made for their entertain
ment. The storm Of course spoilt the
programme.
In view of all these hospitable prep
erations, and an earnest desire on very
many Of the most prominent people
of aiGrristown who desire to carry
ont the whole programme at an early
day, the Editors present assembled in
the parIor Of tie United Sta eS Hotel
and organized with NJ. r. Hamilton one
Of the Vice Presidents, in chair. On
motion Of Judge Naar, the meeting
was adjourned t0meet at the same
place on Thursday, June Goth, at ii
A. NJ, when the regular busiaesS of
the Association will he transacted,
the addresses delivered, dinner 10 be
pRrtaken Of at the United States, al
ter which the company will enter car
riages and visit the most prominent
objects of interest in the vicinity and
from thence make visit to Boonton
and view the works in operation at
notwithstanding to Morristown late
in the evening. The whole affair
promises to be more useful and enter
tanning to the members than any meet
ing of the Association since the ia
nous Paterson gathering.
After the meeting adjourned, the
Editors present were invited to the
residence of Mr.. Vance of the Jersey
man, and Mr. Voght of the Banner,
where they were Hospitality entertain
ed for a brief season. The party then
returned to the United States Hotel,
and were treated to one the finest din
ners they ever sat down to. At the
close, speeches were made by Hon. l..
A. Chandler and Mr.. Mills of Norris
town, and replies made by Messrs.
Naar and Hamilton OF the part of the
Press, when the meeting hastily broke
up and took the cars for their several
homes, ell agreeing to return on the

Still Further from the Seat of War
HAGERsToWN, June 10, P. M.-The
rebels crossed the river at MERGERS
vile, on Saturday night, and attemp-
ed to seized some canal beats with
800 barrels of -four, but failed, in con-
sequence of the Sharpsburg Home
Guards being stationed there. The
Guards, under Captains Settler and
Hewitt, drove them back to MERGERS
vile. above Sheppardstown. The
Virginians burned three canal boats
between the Point of Rocks, and
Harper's Ferry, two bridges, one at
the Point of Rocks, and the other
at Berlin, over the Potomac, yester-
day morning. Report says they
were unable to destroy Dam No 4
of the Potomac. The Virginians
crossed the river after the bridge was
burnt and destroyed the guard lock,
and also precipitated large rocks in
to the canal to obstruct the naviga-
ton. They have also destroyed all
the skiffs and scows between Shep-
pardstown and Harper's Ferry, as re-
ported this morning.

HAGERsTowN, June 9.-ReliabIe
intelligence from Harper's Ferry on
Thursday says there has been no
change f position literally. The
number of troops is put down, from a
half dozen sources, at 10000, but
the correspondent believes it to be
about 5000.
The news to day confirms the re-
port that the bridges at Harper's
Ferry and Sheppardstown have been
mined, and that the trains of gunpow-
der are laid from the middle piers in
water proof cases, with long fuses at
tached.
The writer has seen eleven deserters
from Harper's Ferry, Sheppardstown,
and Martinsburg to day. They es-
capped across the Potomac last night.
Fifty Virginians, at Williamsport,
(Union men, are awaiting the adj
vance of the Federal troops to enable
them to return to their homes.
The rebels have destroyed Dam No.
5, on the Potomac, eight miles above
Williamsport, to day, to prevent the
construction of boat bridges on its
breast for the passage of the Federal
troops, and it is expected they will de-
stroy Dam No. 4, nine miles below
Williamport, to night. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal men are very
indignant, and large numbers of them
will Join the Federal forces.
