EKLY HAWK-EYE.
THE TsEAsos At WoRx.-Ou dispatches this
morning show that the programme laid down
byJohn Van Buren,, and on which We make
some comments elsewhere, Is undergoing the
preliminary trial-that the Democratic leaders
have already offered to place the Nation at the
feet Of the internal traitors Of the South, that
the offer Of most abject submission has not only
been made, but that the traitors spurned their
proffer with the contempt il merited. The report
is undoubtedly true in substance. The ink
lings We have bad for the past two months,
growing stronger day by day, all lead to the
same results Seymour and Van Buren, and the
rest Of the gang, have not been able to conceal
their purposes altogether, and Johns last
speech in New York unfolds the whole treason.

their bastard conduct deserves, if that be pos

Il It has been suggested that William Pitt
Fessenden, now United States Senator from
Maine, would be very 6t man for place in
the Cabinet. The suggestion is undoubtedly
true. He is one of the principal ornaments Of
the Senate man Of large capacities, and Of
tried and earnest patriotism. If there be any
change in the Cabinet no one would be so likely
to add to it's efficiency. But We should miss
him were he to leave the Senate. Indeed We
don't know how that body would get along
without Fessenden to sharpen, enliven and in
tensify it's debates. We are sorry that no mode
is practicable BY which We could have his SER

There are said to be one hundred and fif.
ty.seven churches in Baltimore. Of these the
Catholics and Episcopalians have twenty one
each, Methodists twenty, the Presbyterians six

SENTEScED.-Gilbert Horne, lately on trial at
New York, charged with fitting vessel called
the City of Norfolk, for the slave trsde, has
been convicted of the crime, and sentenced to
FIVE years imprisonment.
GEN. MoRaAN.-A dispatch from Louisville,
of the 10th, states that the army of Gen. Nor
gan, Of Cumberland Gap celebrity, was on its
route down the Ohio and was expected to reach
that city yesterday. Its destination is said to
be Knoxville, and East Tennessee.
The 43D.-The Ottumwa Courier says that
the 4Sd regiment, Col. S W. Summers, is about
going into quarters at that place.
tB- The loyal and patriotic men of the
Country support the Administration, because
that is the only mode by which they can de-.
fend and maintain the national integrity. The
dsloyal, denounce the President and extol Nc.
Clelian, because by so doing they think they
