baltlmoFe, or calculated the number oi
honrs before Washington would be as
saulted, must have taken entire leave o
all the brains they possessed. ob
Consider, for q moment, what a fearful
degree OF stupidity and Incompetence in
our authorities capture of Washington al
this time would imply They have been a
year in providing for its defence; they
have caused to be erected ns less than lhir-
ty4two Notifications in the immediate neigh.
borhood they have had two hundred aud
hfty thousand men to line the river banks
the supplies have been furni5hed without
stint; and all the military talent of the
country, from the highest to the lowest
has been at their command. If, after all
these preparations, a simple detachment
of rebels could put Washington in danger
by sudden dash up the Shenandoah VAL
ley, the government must be the most
olunder-headed that was ever entru sted
with responsibility. Those who could feel
or express fears forits safety betrayed a
BILE.
Yet we cannot but think that the gov
ernment itselfis answerAbIe for good deal
OF the silly anxiety that was go:up. It's in
Judtcious mode of managing tho affair
caused the public to believe that it was
mnch worse than It was told. In the first
place, it was not allowed tobe known gem
errlly that Banks had fallen. back rapidly
for nearly week, but the telegraph was
allowed to announce suddenly that he bad
been "repulsed," which was not true. In
the second place, there was simultaneous
announcement, andJthRt on Sunday, too,
that the government had taken possession
OF all the railroads of the United States, a
step which was altogether unnecessary, and
which could only be justified ON the sup
position of some very great emergency; and
In the third place, the call for more troops,
which had been determined on week
since, was sent forth precisely at the time
OF the former announcement, and as if it
Were measure forced upon tine govern
ment by its immediate wants and dangers,
Need we be surprised that SO many
people, when they heard that whole df-
vision of the army (not knowing how
small it 'was,) had been routed, that more
troops were instantly demanded, that the
railroads were seized, that the Cabinet was
in session all night, should have been ex-
cited almost to panic? Those familiar
with the real state of things, the military
leaders, some of the editors, the shrewd
spectators in stocks, were not to be
frightened by tue appearance Of things,

the result has been that where Union men
have not been strong enough to resist a
mob, they have been executed without
Judge orjury. In Texas, the long suffer-
Ing and imprisonment endured by Parsou
BroWnlow. with his final glory, would have
been god-send; but with Texan rebels
! the theory and practice has bsen that "dead
men tell no tales" 54pa
This State has about 90, 900 troops 10 the
hetd, and no more volunteers can be OBJ
tanned. On the Sd of February, the So
called Governor issued an order for one
hundred and sixty companies, and gave
them thirty days in which TO volunteer an d
report to him. The thirty days passed, and
not a company was reported. a draft was
then levied the result of which have not
heard, except that it produced a general
stampede for Mexico, "t6e land of the free
and The home Of Ms Sldvs," all of whom
would be glad to take up arms, and, with
their hearts blood, battle for the old flag
and Government .-H asgs5
Everywhere in Central and Western Texas
they are crying for help. and verify be-
lieve that II tue Union men could now pro-
cure arms, theywould organize and do what
they refused to do one year ago, because
they loved peace and dreaded civil war, and
because VIC had more Robespierres than
Napoleons. With one half of the favor and
aid extended to other States, Texas will be
the first star in the Cotton galaxy, and of
which she was not the dimmest before this
great crime was committed.
Wives are being made widows; protected
children are becoming orphans; freemen
are made the subject of the rope: the
whole land is being made one vast plain of
desolntioD, simply because an armed force
of ten thousand men, with arms for Union
men of tho State, cannot be produced. In
every other State there has been a shelter
for the protection of all who sought it; but
in Texas they have been left to suffer and
to die. In honor to the State, it can be
truly said that more soldiers have left their
armies and Joined the Federals than from
any other rebellions State. Al Fort
Brown, on the Rio Grande, nearly three.
fourths of the army rendezyoused at that
point had deserted and gone into Mexico,
on the third of last month. Some compn-
nies did not have private left.
We hope the Government will listen to
this appeal from Texas, and give her such
aid as may be requisite to redeem her from
the Davis dynasty. the tenor of whose reign
must be felt foriits- wickedness to be ap-
psecisted. A CITrzES OF Texas.
