thing else, as the last desperate expedient Of
resistance to our advancing armies. Upon
such an issue, with JEFF. Davis, his Cabinet and
Congress in full fight, and with our armies in
full pursuit, the Southern planter, turning to
the interests of his family, will surely decide
against the fearful alternative of self-destruc-
ton and in favor of the supreme law of self
preservation. Already the original confidence
OF the mass Of our Southern secessionists in the
success Of their bold enterprise has been ter
ribly shaken by our late important victories.
But the Confederate government" apparently
calm and confident, is still at Richmond, and 80
its deluded followers are still inclined to wor-
ship it. But let it be ignominiously expelled
and the veil will be lifted from their eyes, and
Davis and his ruling confederates will be met
in their fight by an indignant uprising of the
people they have so ruthlessly plundered and
betrayed; and this will be the end of their
Southern confederscy.
The tricks and impostures by which the
Southern people have been induced so long to
run behind the chariot wheels of JEFF. Davis
are nearly exhausted. In abandoning the line
Of Manassas, his followers In Virginia were
told that it was only to fall back temporarily
upon q moro advantageous defensive line, for
the purpose of enticing "the Yankees" to their
certain destruction. That miserable trick will
be exploded with McClellan's occupation of
Richmond; and then the Virginia people, re-
voting against despotic extortions and mill
tary conscription the most relentless Of mo-
dern times, will set an example of rebellion
against this rebellion which will spread like
fierce contagion throughout the South Let
jeff. Davis and his ruling associates be cap
tured or expelled from Richmond, and in the
Virginia contingent alone fifty thousand men
will speedily be lost to the service of the rebel
government.
The early occupation Of Richmond by Nc
Clellan's army is as sure as the continued rising
and setting of the sun; the only doubt upon
the subject is whether tho rebels will make an
effort against him to hold their chosen capital
or will abandon it without q fght. In any
event, those crushing blows are close at hand
which are destined to put to fight the rebel
government, to scatter its armies to the winds,
and to stir up an astonishing Union reaction
among the Southern people, from Richmond to
Galveston. "The work goes bravely on;' and
completely assured, as we are, of these grand
results, we await in patience their fulflment.

THE PoT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK.-The
course of wanton and malicious attacks upon
this country. II has at length reached the
climax of malgnity and absurdity in an in
sdious attempt to sneer at the United States
financial affairs. II has adopted for this pur-
pose vulgar word, invented on this side the
Atlantic, and has the effrontery to call our
currency by the name Of shinplasters. Well
may we exclsim at this impotent stab, "E tu
Br,ae,' What, England, the mother of shin
plasters, who, for more than quarter Of a CEN
tury. saw nothing but shinplasters circulating
in Great Britain--who issued more of such
paper during the war with Napoleon than had
ever before been heard of--whose issues at the
present day exceed all the issues Of the United
States-whose whole circulation is composed of
shinplasters-is it from England that such
reproach can come with any grace or justices
The words to which we refer are as follows:--
But with expenditure Of two million dollars day
and with nothing but "shnplastsrs" for money, the
plan of attaching wavsring slave owners by compensa
ton must follow the fate Of so many other attempts at
compromise.
We would remind the Times that the United
States at the present moment is richer in all
kinds of resources than England was when she
undertook to pay the Jamaica planters for
their slaves. and that If we have shinplasters,
we do not issue them with the reckless extra
yagance with which they were issued in Eng
land shortly after Mr., Pitts bank suspension
measure.

FREMONT AND THE WESTERN WAR CLAIMS
CoMMIssrON.--T public has been treated to
another report about Fremont 1t is as little
the Tribune. In it poor Fremont figures among
a crowd of thieving Californisns, and luxu-
rates in a palatial headquarters costing six
thousand dollars year. His expressions seem
to have been as reckless as his expenditures.
He tells an army officer that the people were
in the field and he was at their head, and that
he intended doing just as he liked, uncontrolled
by the "red tape people" at Washington. This
is very characteristic Of Fremont, who seems
to suppose that he represents the people be-
cause he was once candidate for the Presi-
dency Some kind friend should remind him
that he was defeated candidate. and advise
him to lose little of his selfimportance to
of the army, and to stay at the head Of his COM
mand and let the head Of the people alone.
Fremont is pretty fair specimen Of our politi-
cal generals. Contrast his conduct with that
of Mcclellan or Halleck, and observe the difie-
renee between an educated, experienced OFF,
GER, who knows and does his duty, and politi-
clan like Fremont, who tries to make political
capital out of every military man9uvre, and
never asks himself whether he can gain, VIC
tory, but whether he can gain vote. Both in
the Union and rebel armies these political gene
rails, with but very few exceptions, have proven
themselves humbugs and nuisances, while edu-
Gated men have done all the real work. 1t may

The Campaign I'm virginia-Great Events
Close at Hand.


We are upon the threshold Of the greatest
events of the war Within q few days, per-
haps within the present week, we may receive
the glad tidings of his occupation of the rebel
capital; Of the capture or expulsion of its
rebel army and its rebel government from
Virginia; of the restoration of the sold flag"
over the city of Norfolk, and, in short. of the
liberation Of the "Old Dominion" from the
fangs of the rebellion, and her restoration TO
the irresistible power and the inevitable au-
thority of the supreme government Of the
United States.
This is the news which we expect, before the
lapse of many days, will become interviewer
among the great historical events of the mo-
mensous month Of April, 1862. Cotempora-
neously even greater successes than these
against the armed forces of the rebellion may
be achieved in the Southwest; but first, let us
consider the probable effects Of the expulsion
of the rebel army and the rebel government
from the sacred soil" Of Virginia.
JEFF Davis and his ruling confederates
Richmond to the last extremity. Hence
the late circular from the Chief of his
Ordnance Bureau, making Richmond
place of deposit for all church and other
bells which may be contributed in Vir-
rinia 10 the Confederate States government
to be converted into light artillery; and hence
the notice, in the same circular, that the facts
of all such contributions from all the other
Confederate States" must be sent to Rich
mond to be placed on file there among the ar
chives of the War Office. The idea is here thrown
out that Richmond is secure against 1.-The Yam
KEGS" and that the rebel government will sure
ly remain there, whatever may be its disasters
in other quarters. What, then, will be the conse-
auences when the fact is made known through
out the South that JEFF. Davis and his Cabinet
and Congress have been compelled suddenly to
| abandon Richmond, and to fly, with such private
and public baggage as they could carry or to
| the interior Of Alabama or Georgia for tenn
| porary place Of refuge?
Such unexpected intelligence as this will in
deed create q panic from North Carolina to
| Texas. and wide spread popular conviction
that further resistance on the part of the cotton
States to the arms of the Union is vain and ut
terlv homeless. Under this impression, the to.

South will be very apt to comprehend their
true course of safety upon the question of sub

The latest advices from China inform
US, through the mei;um of private letters.
of the unprecedented career in that country
of young American of the State Of New
York, who. though but twenty nine years
of age. has reached a position Which re-
minds one Of the dim legends of Prester
John. Here is a orief recountal of the
story of adventures:
About twelve years ago Edward Fores-
ter, "a countryiad born in j efferson county
In the State of New York, decided like a
great many other boys, to go to sea. His
friends opposed the idea., but of course.
the love of ocean life was too strong to be
resisted, and young Forester Joined those
WHO Ego down to the sea in ships" He
asss successful. and spon bee sme the mate
of a whaling ship. though then scarcely
beyond his majority.
In Honolulu Forester made the acquain-
tance ola merchant of Hakodadi, and went
with him to Japan. Here he remained
twooor three years engaged in comm ercial
pursuits. Thence he went to China. where
lie became popular both with the foreign
ers and native authorities at Shanghai,
and was finally made second IN command
to General Ward, place of Colonel MUIR
given, who was severely wounded in some
. recent engagement. .sta t...
In this capacity the quondam sailor con-
finued to be much liked, and now enjoys
the confidence of all the Mandarins in the
province, and is admitted to their conf
dence, as well as to the highest and most
exclusive Chinese society. At one time
Forester led band of two hundred men
against the rebels. ouly nine of them re-
turning. the rest having been all killed
Hshas now twenty thousand troops under
= his command. zEz ts% kE
For his services he has been made a
Mandarin of the Blue Button. and his
name stands high in Pekin. His rank
obliges him to keep at least twelve SER
wants. The. latest letters received from
him Ito May 1st) state that he is in CON-
mand of the city of Soungkaing; sleeps
with the city keys under his pillow: while
not one Of the 200. 900 inhabitants of the
place-not even the highest Mandarin
can enter or leave without his permission,
, and at word from him any iudividual
ont of that 200, 600 may lose his head.
.s Mr. Forester enjoys also the friendship
of Admiral Hope, General Michel. and the
other English and French officers in China.
Admiral Hope he reports as severely
wounded in a recent fight s(e b $
On the 1st of May, the English. French
and Imperialist troops were preparing to
attack Chingfoo. of which Forester will
be made Military Governor. He predicts
the removal or deposing of the so-called
Heavenly Emperor within ryea.-
Such is the brief and brilliant career in
the East of genuine specimen of Young
America. The American MandariI has
