oisl orderS and will punish both alike
We have now the Northern secessionist
and the Northern abolitionists caught in ths
same net, and they carfaot escape They mus
be loyal men or go to jail They cannot grum
BILE or complain; for this would discourage en-
listments and cause their arrest. They cannot
run away from the country or change their re-
sidences to some more congenial locality to
avoid drafting; for this will be taken as con-
fession Of guilt, and will only result in their
being impressed into the army. They are
caught, trapped and shared, and must make the
best of it,
We say, then, that every loyal man must and
will rejoice at these orders. A few northern
newspapers have published treason long
enough. A few northern orators, in public
and private, have spouted treason long enough.
From this day forth the North must be unit
and force takes the place Of moral suasion
The President has set his foot down upon plat
form to which no Union man can object, and
every citizen must stand with him. The national
government has asserted its integrity and its
power, and every citizen must submit. For the

men. This settles the fate of the rebellion. The
war would have been over long ago had not the
united South been opposed to North distracted
by abolition intrigues and secession murmur-
ngs. Now, with more men, more money and
more resources than the South, we cannot but
succeed. Indeed, we are upon the very thresh-
hold of success. The rebels have done their

require now is to oYerwhelm the rebellion by
sudden, a miraculous display Of strength. The
call of the government for six hundred thou
sand more men announced that this display was
to be made. At this crisis, however, small
number of domestic traitors became bolder
than ever, and never have secession SYM
pathizers been more blatant and abolitionists
foul tongued than during the past few weeks.
For moment the nation, disturbed by these
clamors, seemed to hesitate and pause on the
very eve of victory. The government saw this,
and the President was equal to the emergency
He decided the negro question by conhscating
the slaves Of rebels on the one hand, and re-
fusing to receive black regiments on the other.
This done, he has issued these special orders,
in which he gripes both secessionists and abo-
litionists by the throat, and chokes them out Of
existence.
We congratulate Secretary Stanton that his
name is appended to such orders as these. He
began the first stage Of his career as Secretary
Of War by issuing bulletin against Malcom
Ives, and he concluded that stage by resigning
all control Of our armies to the more able and
experienced Gen. Halleck. He has begun the
second stage Of his secretaryship under better
auspices, and now directs his energies not
against an inoHsnsive man, but against the
enemies of his country. We congratulate the
President that he has again shown himself to
be, as we have always esteemed him, the man
for the time and for the Union, and that undis-
mayed by opposition and unin6uenced by abo-
lition intrigues, be has again displayed his keen
appreciation Of the wishes of the loyal people,
his shrewd comprehension Of the requirements
Of the crisis, and his thorough, hearty and un-
conditional devotion to the constitution and the
Union. We congratulate the country that at
last we are to prosecute the war in earnest;
that at last no traitors, North OF South, are to
be spared; that at last the days of the rebellion
are numbered; that at last our administration
and our generals are working in perfect har-
n9Ony and concord; that at last we are to over.

numbers; that at LAST every citizen of the
United States is to share in ths glory Of re-
