GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE.

When DR. Russell assured the British read.
crs of his letters from Washington to The
Tines that our Government could not venture
10 surrender Mason and Slidell, because the
mob bore away here, and would upset any
rulers who took such a step, he simply proved
that he Lad Tot been long enough among us to
become acquainted with our character and
WAYS. Mason and Sidell were surrendered
with less popular commotiOn, we are confident.
than like occurrence would have evoked in

who believed that no such surrender should

impudently unjust, beside being couched III
terms which would never have been used had
our country not been laboriug under eSira"r
dinary difiicuties-but in all this wide Union
no hand was lifted to impede the surrender,
and very few voices were heard IN its condem-
nation save those of well known though dis

Rebellion. Intense chagriu was naturally

TIE LATEAT WAR NEWS.

We hear this morning that Gen. Burnside's
expedition yesterday left Annapolis for Hamp-
ton Roads. We may now look and listen for
stirring news; the movement of this immense
expedition has been waited for with impotence
by the Northern people, and with grave appre-
henson by toe South The mystery which has
hung impenetrably about it's destination has ad-
ded to the dependency which Expresses the
rebels, and throughout the threatened section
there is fearful looking for the day of judg-
ment
The news which we publish this morning
from Cairo is of the highest Importance though
il NAV be somew hat exaggerated in the num-
bers of troops reported, and the operations
noted my be set down as to happen at too
early a day. The facts. as gwen, are thus: A
body of 25,O00 men is now on its way from
various places toward Cairo; when it reaches
that place, column Of from $4,000 to 75,OOo,
under Gen. Grant, will march to Paducab, its
next point Of destination being Nashville; at
this latter place, eOectiDg junction with Gen.
Buell., the whole army will move on down to
New Orleans; this expedition is said TO DO on
the very eve Of starting, intending to 60 within
SIX days. Whether this is strictly correct or
not, there is no doubt that the object stated is OF
far greater Importance than an attack on Rich
mond New Orleans being the chief city, aud
the financial center Of the South, its possession
is matter Of much consequence. 1t Ia the
.E 10 IN
that the city, if occupied in force and properly
fortified, can easily be held ngainst any force
the rebels can bring against it.
1t is said that on Monday evening long
council took place between the Cabinet and the
members of the Congressional Committee on
the conduct of the war. The nature Of the
discussion u.s. of course, such that publicity
cannot be given to it, but It is understood that
the question of movement or innction was
warmly debated
A colonel Of a regiment at Hilton Head de-
clsres that lie would promise TO take Charles
ton with a single thousand men, in such a
state of panic and decentralization are they all
10 that vicinity. Though this is perhaps ex-
travas SAINT, it is nevertheless indubtabe that
we have no adequate idea Of the disheartened
state Of the Rebels.

ing accounts Of Col. Jenuison's Kansas JAY

and the way in which they have done 1t.
A most horrible attempt to blow up hos.

covered and frustrated. A barrel Of guDpowder
aud proectles had been placed in the cellar,
and a fuse had been lighted.
One hundred aud ninety of the recently re-
leased prisoners have reached Washington, and
are comfortably quartercd there.

In the current number Of Brownson's Quar-
terly Review there is paper from the pen OF
the editor, in which the political situation is
defined with a degree Of candor. justice and
earnr,tucss, which ought TO command general
attention. DR.. Brown.on occupies no neutral
or doubtful ground, either as to the real cause
Of the rebellion, or the means which may be
lawfully employed for its suppression. la the
article before us he dissects with yigor, and
vet with the utmost courtesy, the arguments
Of Archbishop Hughes, as prOpounded in the
official Organ Of the Church, against the con-
fscation of the slave property Of rebels; and
he condemns with just severity tho attempts OF
those who secretly sympathizc with Secession
10 east the blame Of the insurrection on the
Abolition party of the North. We quote as
fOlOws:
"His Grace intimates in his letter to Bishop Lynch,
and be or bis official organ intmates in the article
We are examining that the caief blame OF the pres-
ent war rests upon Northern Aboliiionsts. not On
tie Southern rebels themselves. Wo cannot argue
with him on this nor can we believe it just and
wise ou tie pat of the loyal ieuds VI the Union "

For both these reasons our anxiety ia not over
whelmDg.

An organized attempt was made yesterday
to create money panic. Men went about
the city, visiting every bar-room, grocery aud
little store, 10 search of specie, buying up
coin in any quantities, from dollar upward
at Al to per cent premium. We heard one
man boast that he had just sold bis last eagle
at so cents premium. OF course there is no
substantial reason for this eagerness to gather
up the specie in circulation and the whole
movement is one of pure speculation. For
some days past gold has gone up at the rate
of a half per cent per day, and somebody
expecting to make q handsome profit, by q
continued rise, if he can oDly create panic
has probably employed agents to collect all
the coin within their reach. Tradesmen should
remember, however, that if for the sake of o
small temporary gain they encourage this
movement now, it cannot fail in the end
to prove q source Of very serious inconVen.
ence, if not positive loss.

A considerable p.rtion Of our space is this
morning occupied with an elaborate speech
upon the Trrut affair yesterday delivered in
the Senate by Charles Sumner He fully sus-
tains the action of the Government IN giving
up Mason and Slidell, but goes even further
than Secretary Seward. The points be makes
and decides are three: First, thnt the seizure
Of the men without taking the ship was wrong;
because q navy officer has no right to substi-
tute himself for a Judicial tribunal; second.
that the ship, even if taken, would not have
been held liable on account of the rebel emis-
saries inasmuch as neutral ships are free TO
carry all persons not apparently in the mill
tary or naval service of the enemy; and, third,
that dispatches are not contraband Of war.

Some anxiety has been expressed lest new
uisbap shall have befallen Messrs. Mason and
Slldell. on their way to Halifax, FROM which
the reclamation Of no human power will RS
deem them. The gunboat Rinaldo, on Win n
they took passage, has been nine days at sea,
aud it is said she was bound to Halifax.
Either this common understanding was mis-
take, or tho vessel has gone to that other
place which 10 sometimes mentioned in conuec-
ron with Halifax. The orders, however, we
believe, were that the Rinado should be gov
erued by the wishes Of her passengers, but that
they should be landed at Halifax unless they
