sident Of the United States, in virtue of the
power IN me vested by the Constitution and the
laws, have thought ft to call forth, and hereby
do call forth, the militia of the several States OF
the Union, to the aggregate number Of seventy

WAR REGUNl

The rebellion has begun War is upon us !
The traitors have attacked the United States
forces in Fcrt Sumter. They did not even wait
for any attempt ON the part Of the Govern
ment to reinforce Fort Sumter, but regardless
OF the calamity Of civil war which they were
forcing on :he nation, and in contempt of the
opinion OF the whole civilized world, they as.
suue the aggressive, aud foros upon the Gov
erument, defensive war They have passed
the Rubco n--all efforts at negotiation are at an
end. The Government must now repel force
BY force, and the duty of every citizen is TO
sustain the Government, 10 its efforts to put
down rebellion. Whoever does less than this
ia traitor! The policy of the Administra-
ton has been pacific, earnestly desirous of
peace, it has stood quietly by, allowing gov
eFnmont property and money to be stolen, and
iis citizens TO be insn4ed with impunity. Any
other government, instead of submitting to all
this, would have crushed the rebellion long
ego. The bumbardment aud capture of a
United States Fort, commanded by the gallant
Anderson, and kis sixty or seventy almost
safnishiOg men, after lhirty-six hours of gal
liant resistance, by one hundred times their
namber, with many formidable batteries, is the
last hair upon the came's back. Tue people
will not submit TO 1t any longer. Either treas
sou or the government must triumph Which
must it be Let the Keystoue of the Federal
Arch speak Let New York, New England,
the mighty West, and Northwest, and all other
parts Of the Union put forth their power All
party is now dropped. The question is Uriou
or Disunion--are you for your country or
against it {? All patriots will therefore sustain
the Administration, III crusbiug rebellion, and
upholding toe national honor

The Bedford Gasette, Of the 29th ult., had an
article in which it charged that Carl Shurz, the
great German orator, and other German Republ-
cans are now getting their reward from the Lincoln
administration. ssThey asked for office, and the
Know Nothing feeling in the 'Republican' ranks is
aroused, and sburz 6 Co., marched out in the
cold.'' We showed that Shurz had been appoin-
ted Minister TO Spain, and the claims Of other
Germans had not been overlooked. In the last
weeks Gasee, it charges that Shurz is ''infdei
aad outlaw." That paper when it thinks it can
make capital by its supposed deserlion of the
claims Of Germans by the Administration, sends
up howl Of sympathy, but when it finds that their
claims have not been overlooked, it calls them
