The Union, the creature itself of disloyaIty. re-
beion, and treason, is not old vet as many thou
sands of the people on both sides of the Atlantic
lt Is the banting of the IhiOsolhes of the Encyo-
picula, and has never been anything but paper
constitution, entirely unworkabe when put to the
test: The Republic has been sustained entirely by
Its federal, that is to saw its disunited character
by every separate colony having retained the pow
er OF varying Its laws and constitution to suit its
local character and circumstances-the very priu-
ciple asserted in this secession Ii has been sus-
tanned solely by yearly migrations of the most pro-
uuc'Ne members OF the European population, the
nalve Americans having palpably degenerated.
Common sense might tell us that a country far
larger than ali Europe, and containing every eli
mate from Petersburg to Calcutta utterly diverse
sympathies, character, ethnology, social insttu-
tnns and material needs, could be really gov
crnea from one centre and by the same Ieoslature
lt IS the plain interest Of both North and South
that they should become severally compacted bv
pcaceab'e separation. 1t is essential TO The naacn
Of the world that such huge confederacy totally
beyond the etfectual contro! Of toe III ist powerful
GoVernment, should no longer be left to the uomi-
ma, jurisdiction OF the teeblest and most reckless.

NEWS VIA WASHINGTON.
From the Star OF last evening we gather the fol-
lowing Washington items:
MORE TROUBLE AMONGST THE TRANSFERS
Two or three huadrcd Government teamsters, it
is said, will quit work to-day-some on account of
the reduction OF pay, aud some because of obiec-
ttons to the oath No embarrassment will result,
as plenty of enlisted men will gladly take the places
OF these maIcontens at moments notice.
PAYING IN GOLD.
All of the hired men in the Ouartermaster's De-
partment, including teamsters, nostIers laborers.
messengers, clerks, &c, one thousand or more in
number; are being paid off cali in gnd.'' 1t is
only Government officers at high salary, we pre-
sumo, who receive any portion of their pay in
treasury notes.
FOR 4 FLYING VISIT.
Major General Butler leaves Washington this af-
ternoon for a flying trip to his home in Massachu-
setts. He has not been from his post for instant
since leaving it on two hours notice upon the day
after the PRONUNCIATION of the Presidents proca-
nation of the 10th of April last.
\ MlsAPPREHENSION.
Many of the Government teamsters under
the impression that the oath which will be admin
lsicred to them binds them to three years service.
This is a mistake. The oath is administered to
them to clerks and other officers as a test of 10y
atty to the Government nothing more.

NAVY YARD-CAFTURE or SLOOP WITH VALUABLE
CARGO.
Yesterday the propeller Herbert came up from

gical instruments medicines, &c, togethe' with .
about half ton Of percussion caps, all on their

Last week a'schooner heavily laden with tobacco
was captured down the Potomac, and is now held
there by the nOtilla.
The Herbert went down as far as Rappahannock
river, where they shelIed the beach and woods but
without discovering any Confederaes.
The Mount Vernon came around from Baltimore
last evening, aud reports all quiet on her route.
