HAyE WE A GOVERNMENT.

R+A e III ~ IN wv RAAA
The purpose Of Fernando Woods recent
conspiracy, for the furtherance Of which
he made his late tour in the West, and for
which he was 50 closely closeted with the
leaders of the secession Democracy Of this
city, is now apparent. Hc made a speech
in New York at the semi-secession meet
irg 8 few days since, in which be declared:
That We must be nd of the abolition Con
gress and it is to be done as Oliver Cromwell
scDt hence the Rump Parliamentary walking
into Parliament and scattering it to the;Winds.
Let Your voices be heard in the capital Of the
country, and if your armies are not successful
at once, for one raise the stand lrd-a change
of measures OF change OF men.
THIS so exactly comedies with the bal
dcrdash which usually rcsounds III the
editorial columns OF the Chicago Times,
that We cannot doubt that Wood is the
inspiration: which gives that organ
Ct secession its amulus and tone.
1t is an evidence Of the mistaken lenieney
Of our government that it permits such lan
guagc to be used, either by orators or jour
nslistE, in an emergency Ike the present
but in the logic Of events which are no
now far of, we have assurances that til
day is near in which scoundrels like WOOD
who dare propose TcTolution for th
aid Of tie reyolutioDis:s Of the South, wi
be lung up b. the neck, as they ought t
he, We had almost said, without judge {
jury. In the meantime the constituted al
thoriies should put throttle valve i

TEE ILLINOIS TWENTE-FOURTH
The officers ofthe Illinois Twenty y-fourlh
regiment Of 1nfant1y-a German regiment
commanded By 8 Hungarian soldier Of
Liberty, Col. alhalotzy-being lately
ordered by General Mitchell, in
whose division the regiment is, to- do
scmc dirty work in the way Of Niger
catching for seeessionists, Indignantly re-
fused, and in s. body, rendered their resis-
nations, say ing that their men would shoot
them if they should consent to serve upon
conditions that implied any aid Of either
secession or sla1e1y-the twin ROOFS Of the
rebellion. The General would rot accept
the tender Of their commissions, but com
n1auucd them 10 take up their swords and
go ashin 10 their Juty- And thus the mat
ter stands: The obnoxious order has moi
bcen oEeyed, nor hsye the designations
been withdrawn; but the regiment Is do
ing lis duty, and, as ever, is ready, nay
anxious, to measure its strength with any
two regiments of the foe! We honor tht
officers Of the Twenty fourth, and could al
others Of the service be induced to inlitat'
their patriotic example, VIC should 500
lcar the last Of Order Ne. 8 and other kin
drcd denominations for aiding and comfort
u1g t1eacherous..and unmanly enemy.

The howl Of GOV. Yates detractors has
ceased, and there is not in all Illinois man,
60 far as we know, who does not gladly
admit that he has noblv discharged his duty
as the Executive head Of the State The
assumption By the Federal Government Of
all the military contracts made by the Gov
ernor's direction, and the full endorsement
BY the war Office Of his acts-not endorse
ment only but warm and cordial ap-
proyal-arc conclusive evidence Of
the zeal, fidelity and sing1eness Of purpose
with which he has worked. We have
known all the while that the howl raised
against him had its origin, not in any pat
1ictic fcar that he was not efficiently
serving the loyal cause, but in the malig-
nancy Of the disloyal men who feared he
vas serving that cause too efectually and

men. As an instance OF the enormous number
OF atseDtees from regiments In Hs1leck's de-
partment, may mention the fact that the
names Of 275 privates are advertised in the
JouTnd1 as being abseutl from the 18th Ken
tucky Alone At this rate the absentees from
Halleck's army would, II collected md Or
eanfzed, make an army Of a. ,450 ment Quite
nice army With which to hold and possess
the Important points on the Mississippi; or
1t would be quite sufficient to send against
Vickehurg, and reduce it. Or It might open
the Arkanaas River, and feed Curtis, who Is re-
ported Starving, though nohody believes It.
Or It might reach the railroads Of Georgia, 10
time to cut of tile Richmond army. 44,0c0
absente4 from 1866 regiments Is not the
IfIorIon awful!
This jdlere6s on the part Of the armies in
the Southwest Is more notew worthy from the
fact TINT the leaders are perfectly aware OF
the concentration Of rebel forces at Ylcks-
burg, an account Of Which have sent you
day ortwo since. The opening Of the river
becomes highly important in view OF the In
creasfng demand Of the Northwest for an ont
let Of trade and commerce from the fact that
Curtis can then be proylslo1ed and thst BIT
Ter can also be prOVisioned at cheaper rate
direct from the fountain ct al army supplies
the western prairies:, And that the gun
boats cannot reduce the position Of Yicks-
have no demonstration towards that point by

We hope that Congress wih not adjourn
until some decisive cve1t makes the dis
persion Of that body, even for months
vacation, safe to the country. Let the
members remain at their posts. Any hour
may change the whole aspect Of the war,
and By bringing into 1t foreign element,
make it 8 struggle for The Independence Of
each State Of the North. At such a mo-
mcnt, the demands Of the county are i'm
pcratiye, and he is no patriot who prefers
the quiet Of his rural home, the care Of his
private business, or the Indulgence Of his
desire for pleasure, rather than the dis

STAND BE TEE GOVERNMENT.

The real purpose Of the men and jour
nails that are engaged in malignant and
hostile criticism of the Goyernmcnt-ofM Mr..
Lincoln and his acts; of AIr. Stanton and
his alleged failures; Of Congress aud its er-
rors-is to weaken the loyal cause-if pos
sible to excite and complete moral
if not an. armed revolution here at
home, by which the power Of the
nation may be parelyzed and the victory
finally given to the enemies Of the Repub-
lie. They dsrs rot attack the cause open
IL and preach treason without adulteration.
but pretending loyalty and zeal for the
Union, they are dealing deadly blows upon
what all patriots hold dear. When they
assal the President they mean blow at
the principles and policy that he repre-
sents. When they quarrel with
the Secretary Of War they take
issue only with his determine
ton to. attack and destroy the
deadly enemies Of the country. When
they belch forth objurgaions against
Congress, they are all the while
inwardly cursing the forms Of Law
which give resistance to secession
its legal and a part Of Its moral weight,
They hate not the President, nor Stanton,
nor Congress. But b1r Lincoln is the e1-
oncnt Of an idea-the idea Of Liberty
Mr.. Stanton is his executive assistant, and
Congress is the source whence the means for
enforcing that idea are to flow. The quar-
rel is not with the men, but with the work
ofconquering and enfranchising-the work
that by the Providence Of the Almighty
they are commissioned to do. When,
then, it IS proposed by Fernandy "Wud
to drive Congress from the Capital to make
room for the Empire Club, or when the
| Chicago Times recommends q march
| on Washington to push Stanton
of his stool, Or when the sense
less rabble, which take their opinions from
| the New York villain or his Chicago coad
jutator, howl about the" abolitionists," and
propose to put them to death and end tht
war, We may be sure that the real purpost
is to aid slavery and secession, and to dc
grade and disbonor freedom and our coun
try. We hold that the time has come il
which the goyeEnmcnt-the goYernmeD
constituted BY hallowed usages, the form
Of law, and the affections Of the people
should protect itself from the enemies a
home, less hateful, but not less dangerou:
than the armed forces Of the South. I'll
President may be charged with error an

July 3, 1861. {
Since the removal Of the troops from the
bluffs IN front of the city, which was not done
as soon as, 1t should have benin fact, for
tbeir. good health they should never have
been quartered there--the city of Memphis
has borne internal evidence Of being quiet
aud orderly place. You may judge Of the
kind of population left in town Of less than
80, 600 Inhabitants, which has furnished 1000
soldiers for the confederate army. It is, 81.
one Of the daily papers re1narked shsrt time
since, extremely civilian in character" I
can youch for one thing: the peep!e are de-
cidedly civil in their maners and behavior
with hardly an exception.
But for all the quiet within her borders
there is, outside, sufficient discord to more
than compensate. This docs not come from
the United States soldiers. AL unite in saying
that they hare behaved with remarkable de-
corum since they we're quartered here-as
well, if not better, than the confederates.
The difficulty arises from the raids Of, numer-
GUS detachments Of rebel cavalry, supposed
to be Jackson's and Forests. These robbers
come down suddenly upon an unprotected
portion Of the country, near generally
ten or twelve miles out-burn cotton, steal
horses, and carry of struggling citizens or
soldiery wherever they can lay hands upon
them. Then they, for few days, disappear,
and whence they came or where they have
gone, no one can tell.
COTTON BURNERS ABOUT.

were coming into the city, their vehicles loaded
With cotton, which they had been hired te
