1t has cleared off pleasant again, for we
have had long spell of cold rainy weather ;
but perhaps before this days sun shall 60
down in the west, many of onr brave sol
diers will bite the dust. Four companies
from this brigade, one company OF cavalry
and one piece of artillery, have been sent in
to Virginia this morning they are to pro-
coed to Falls Church to take possession of
that place, which is now nearly deserted by
the rebels 1t is reported that there is n
large quantity Of grain there belonging to
the Union men, and it is the intention Cfour
party to capture it, and restore it to the
righttul owners This detachment Is COM
mandcd by Lieut. Col. II. Burnham, who
promises to be an accomplished officer.
Yesterday was gala day with the rcgi-
ments and brigades between Washington and
Chain Bridge President Lincoln, Secreta-
rics Seward, Chase and Cameron, paid us a
visit, and our troops pissed in review before
them. We were highly compllmcnted by
them. In the afternoon Maj. Gen. McClcl.
Ian and staff appeared to us very suddenly,
accompanied by a boIy-guard of about sixty
men The General was dressed in full uni
form, and rode a spirited bay horse , all look
ed the perfect soldier.
To-day our Band received new instruments
bought by the regiment. They are all old
musicians ana accomplished players.
Some Of our men that went into Virginia
this mornius haze just returned. They bring
two prisoners and one horse. They succeed
ed in taking the hly and grain which they
went after, but were driven back BY the tn
cmy. who are reported to be 5000 strong, at
tails Church, This was more than was cx-
pestcl Oar cavalry rode almost into their
midst, and on seeing that they were likely to
to be surrounded they made a precipitate re-
treat, without firing gun. One gun was
fired ny the enemy, bat without effect. The

and true men in Baltimore and in Maryland,
and to one Of them especially distinguished, alike
by sense, courage, and social position--we mean
Reverdy Johnson--we render all honor. We think
it possible that these loyal men may outnumber the
traitors. But these last have the desperation Of
INSCRIPTIONS passion on their side, and also Tue
possession of the arms, and Of the money, 100.
For great injustice has been done to the Plug
Uglies and Blood.Tubs of Baltimore, in suppos-
ing that they were the parties that murdered the
Massachusetts, Volunteers in her streets. III was
a well.dressed mob mainly, set on and paid by
merchants and lawyers that did that bloody busi-
ness Marshal Kane, the head Of their Metro.
politan Police, who had been employed, and sue
cessfully, in suppressing the vulgar rioters OF
the old regime, was VIGOROUSLY the pro-
moter and leader of this riot. Merchants
went home to dinner after it was over,
as we have formerly stated on the authority
of an eyewitness, and boosted of the money they
had given toward it. Winans, one Of the asowed
leaders of the Baltimore Secessionsts is perhaps
the richest man in the complementary the next
after Mr. Astor. And We heard lately WELL
authenticated story Of young man OF the
cream Of Baltimore society, regarded there
as its flower of courtesy and goOd'breedng,
who, upon being introduced to young lady
from Boston, after talking to her in the most
insulting manner, produced bullet from his
pocket, telling her that it had been extracted
from the dead body of one Of the Massachusetts
volunteers, and that he was keeping it to lire
into one of the next batch that came along.
With such spirit prevailing among men OF this
class in life, with arms and money, and without
mercy or scruple, it is idle to infer that
Secession is dead because it may hold Its
breath for awhile, and because the United
States flag floats over the Custom-House
and Post-Office. There will be, as there have
been, ebbiDgs and nowings, fu1 and refu1,
in the tide Of treason. Now we shall hear that
Baltimore is all willingness to permit our troops
to pass through her streets, and then that the
spirit Of sedltiOn is rampant again. But We may
be sure that there will be yielding on the part
Of the Rebels there except under the sternest
necessity. The age of Miraculous Conversions is
past. and all rumors of such must be received
with many grains Of allowance. We have 10
doubt that the President aud General Scott zee
the urgent necessity Of supporting the Union men
Of Maryland and reducing her traitors to abso-
Lutte obedience, BY any amount or Kind of cOmpul-
sion, as clearly as do the people. And Mr.. Lincoln
NAV be sure that there is no measure OF cOmpul-
sorry policy in which he will be more cordially,
generously, and unanimously supported by the
people than in this

THE CALHOUN PHILOSOPHY.

In another column Of this days TRIBUNE, We
publish an exceedingly interesting and valuable
letter from the venerable Commodore Stewart,
in which he recOunts the substance Of CONVEX

and himself nearly fifty years ago. Even were
it possible to doubt the accuracy OF such wit
ness TO the views held SO long ago by Mr. Cal.
houn, the internal evidence Of the entire faith
fulness Of the statement is quite sufficient. That
distinguished statesman was the father of modern
Southern politics. His far.reachng mind com.
pretended the relations Of the North and South,
and saw, long before any Of his contemporaries
had an inkling Of the truth, that conflict be.
tween Slavery and Freedom was inevitable, and
must some day eliminate in precisely that deadly
struggle which is now upon us. He compre-
hended the precise value Of the compromises Of
the Constitution, and understood not only that
they were all the recognition that the Fathers of
the Republic could give to the system Of Slavery,
but also that it was given because they believed
it to be ON expiring SYSTEM The permission to
import Africans for twenty years. insisted upon by
South Carolina and Georgia, granted to those
comparatively unsettled States ample time TO

1t is thought ut Washington that Their,

now arrayed under the Secession banner in
Virginia, nearly every State south of her having
rushed forward as many as possible. North

force. AL the Southern cOntngents are
Fastening TO Virginia on purpose to make
dash at Washington; but Gov. Letcher
and his echoes say that Virginia stands
on the defensive, and will not allow
Washington to be attacked if Virginia is not
invaded. We venture to say that no one,
whether patriot or traitor, would give one straw
for Letchers assurance if there were chance
of attacking Washington with q probability Of
taking it. At present, We judge that there is
none though the traitors could in four days con-
centrate at Alexandria quite Is many men as
we can oppose to them at Washington. But the

they mean TO threaten Washington, they must
scatter their force over so large an area that
they can accomplish little. We believe, whether
Virginia be willing or not, the traitors must
speedily assume the offensive unless Gen. Scott
should anticipate them. Another week will hardly
pass without serious collision. Harper's Ferry
is indicated as the point where it is likely to
take place; but this is conjecture. 1t may be at
Norfolk, or in the vicinity of Fredericksburg.

A WORD WITH MARfLAND TRAI.
TORS,

We are happy to say that We have very en-.
couraging adyces from Baltimore. We are
assured that there is no longer any danger of
| trouble there; but what cheers us still more is
the certainty that the Federal commanders will,
in entering the city, leave no room for doubt on
this subject. Under their vigorous auspices, the
mob Of Baltimore, including Mr. Jerome Fender
CAST, Mr.. Thomas Winans, and Mr.. George i.
Kane, will very shortly be taught that they
neither can nor shall place that city across the
National highway and hinder the passing over
il of National troops or of private citizens. If
they should now again succeed in involving tho
whole city in their crime, as they did on the
10th Of April, why then the city will be abated
summarly like any other common nuisance even
if the abatement should involve her entire
destruction. This the voice Of the people de.
mands of the General Government as the
first installment Of the chastsement due to
the crime which is now darkening the prosperity
Of the land. 1t is not merely the injury attempted
to the life Of tho Nation in fobidding the passage
Of troops TO defend its Chief and its cap tai but
it is the insolence Of it and the insult that must
be atoned for by the submission or the humila-
tioR of the contumacious city. The people will
DO satisfied with nothing less. IL is, be-
sides, essential to the base Of further op-
eratons toward the South that the way
through Baltimore and all Maryland be made as
plain and az safe as the way to parish church.
To this end it cannot be too early or too dis
tnctly understood by all whom it may concern
that MARYLAND CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE
SUFFERED TO sECIDg UNDER ANY CIRCUM-
STANCES WHATSOEVER. Whatever may be the
final issue of the present civil war-whether the
seeding States be held by the strong arm in the
Union, or be permitted to set up for themselves
on such terms as the Nation shall dictate
MARYLAND MUST REMAIN ONE OF THE
UNITED STATES, or be occupied as con.
quered province if she resist We can have no
enemies between us and our Capital, and we will
not. The force Of this military and political
necessity is too obvious not to compel whatever
measures it may demand. There is nothing the
Nation Is SO ready to furnish men and money to
secure as this.

The total amount due this hour from IL
Seeded States to Northern merchants aud
capitalists cannot be so little a. Two Hundred
Millions Of Dollars. whereof probably three. fourth
are owing to this City. Most of the creditor
have for years done everything possible to COM
mend themselves to the good will of the South.
Their politics, their opinions generally. have beeu
nodded to please their rather exacting cu,tom-
ers; they have resolved and subscribed. ana

most agreeable in Georgia and Alabama. Thg

Gen. Scott has just thought proper to take.
for the third time, the oath of fidelity 10 the
Union. The example Of the loyal and lllustrious
veteran should be followed by every officer in tho
service. Why should not the War Departments
require this : No man who is faithful at heart,
can have any objection TO take the pledge Of
loyalty anew under the present circumstances:
and certainly no man who would refuse to take
it, 10 fit IT, be retained in tho service Of tho
American people. Every such man bears within
him the soul Of traitor, aud the sooner he il
known the better. Let us have the oath anew

The Union men Of Missouri have sent urgent
appeals to Washington for military assistance
against the traitors of that State. AS the Gov
ernor has fatty refused to obey the requisiton
of the President, and is VIGOROUSLY in the In
terest of the rebels, the usual forms preliminary
TO Federal Intervention to preserve the peace OF
a State should be waived, and ample assistance
given to the loyal citizeus of Missouri. 1t is no
time to stand on ceremony. 1t is the duty OF
the President to take care that the Republic re-
ceiye no detriment If he accompanies that. the
people will not cayil at the means used.

By a letter from Pensacola TO The Mobile Id
rertiser, we learn that Lieut.. Maudaugh Of the
United States ship Sabine, native of Virginia,
who sent his resignation to Washington, where it
was accepted, has been detained by his com
mander, Capt. Adams, and not allowed to Leave
the ship. Capt Adams evidently understands
his duty to the country. No greater mistake has
been made by the Government than in allowing
the officers Of the army and navy whom it has
trained and supported for years, to desert their
posts and go over to the enemy. We hope stop
will be put at once to this base business. One
skillful officer is worth more TO the rebels, and
can do more mischief to the country than a
thousand raw recruits.
