The Patriotism of the War, ana who
it is that Schemosror a new Party.
Col. Forney-Rditor of the Philadel-
phia Press. Douglas Democratic paper
writes as follows from Washington:
WASHINGTON June, 80. 1862.
"The cause of Boston is the cause Of
ALL" This was the war.cry of the patri-
OTIS of tho American Colonies ninety-four
years ago. The moderation and forbear-
ance of Samuel Adams, John Hancock.
Andrew Eliot, and Joseph Warren, while
they did not serve to mitigate British
insolenec and oppression, neryed and
united the whole people, and prepared
them for the bloody events which began
at Lexington aud at Concord. and closed
Mt Princeton and ut Yorktown. This
moderation and dforbearance, followed by
organization, discipline, and self sacrifice,
created one party Ia The american Colonies
There were, indeed, two parties in those
days-'a party" to use the Inst public
words of Judge Douglas, 'of patriots
and partyof traitors." But the true men
were a unit against their foes, and to
this fact are we indebted for all the re-
sultiug benefits, including the Revolution,
the Declaration of independence, and the
Federal Constitution.
A far greater and more solemn crisis is
upon us, the children and descendants of
these men. "rhe cause of the Union is
the cause, of all" Bravely as this cause
has been defended, we must not indulge
the hope that it is out of danger. The
mighty armies and navies that have gath.
cred for its yindicatiop have done much,
but the work of preservation is not con-
.cluded. More sacrifices will be required !;
more energy; more money; md, above
all, more unity among the people of the
| loyal States. When they realize that this
is un imperative duty, and not till then,
may the days of the rebellion be number
ed.
u We can best appreciate the public peril
| by observing that, as the traitors become
more defiant, blood-thirsty, and cruel, The
Iintrigues OF partisans in the loyal States
become more numerous and public. In
other words, as the first reject peace, the
latter offer it'll The. rebels contiscate or Sc.
questrate everything that belongs to a
Union man. The General Government is
asked to do nothing in turn but make
demonstrations OF forgiveness. Mean
while, military preparations in the South
are continued as if such an idea rs an ad-
ljustment had never occurred TO the leaders.
They fight against the Government with
stubborn ferocity that proves they do not
desire an adjustment. With them the is
sue is the independence of,the Oonfederacy
or its subjugation. All their acts are but
proofs of the truth of this assertion,
Why should peace be profered to men.
like these? Wy should great parties be
Iorganized in the tree States, the only result
'of whose organization will be to weaken
the Federal Government? There should
be bnt one party, and that plsdged TO host,t-
ity to the Te6els and an earnest support Of the
Naturalization. d i referred iu my letter of

The New York Herald of Monduy says:
ga movement appears to be on foot in
the stock fthe Cleveland and Pittsburg
Railroad. The foating debt, which was
upwards of S5,5OO,000 eighteen months
ago, is now reduced to about $500, 900,
and the fourth mortgage bonds, into
which it is fundable, are selling ut 68.
There seems to be no doubt but the whole
floating debt will be funded within a
brief period ftime and as the new sche-
duIe of bonded debt was predicated upon
the earnings of 1860, which are largely
surpassed by the present earnings of the
concern, there is some probability that
the stock may take place on tho divi-
dend paying list sooner than is expected.
The parties most closely connected with
the company affect ignorance ofiits impro-
we'd condition, and are not disposed to
encourage purchases of i stock. Whe-
ther their object is to coerce the few re-
maining floating creditors into a settle
ment, or to secure for their friends q
larger supply Of the stock at low prices,
the public are left to conjecture"

Visit Of the French Minister to
Richmond.

The Savannah Republican OF the
eth has the following, which agrees
with previous runnors: Ihc s;sit OF
Mr.. Mcrcier TO Richmond, was at the
instance Of the French Emperor, and
its object was to bring about Il paci
ticati0n between the Confederate
States and the United States. The
French Emperor proposes through
his minister, NJ. Mercier,,t to refer the
the solution Of our troubles to the
ballot, as was done in Italy some years
ago.
The North contends, as an excuse
for the war, that 4 majority Of the
people of the Confederate States are
still loyal to the Union: the South
denies it. Under this State Of facts,
says the French Emperor, let each
State represented in the Confeaeracy
decide for itself, freely and without
compulsion, with which nation it will
east its lots for the future
SO tar rs ut present advised, the
overture for peace will probably fail.
Our Government is ready to agree
to the mode of settlement, but

Government declines interposition on

us will be Il fair average yield, a:,.
unless assistance is obtained, great
er portion Of il will be lost, rs :, large.
numbero of f;untrs have left everything
and gone to the wars. Help is also
needed to sow the next years crop.
Thus far Mr. Peters has been unable
to obtain assistance. Our planters
have grain crops To harvest themselves
the corn crop is backward in eonsc-
quence of tht. protracted cold weather
and the late rains have thrown them

run with business. We hope that, if
there are any planters who can spare
hands, they Will 10 so without delay
as it is important that none OF the
wheat crop should be lost. Mr..
Peters Will be responsible for all the
servants that he may take off, that he
Will take good care Of them, and return
them at the time that may be speci-
fed.

a STORMY SESSION OF THE CAEI-
META Washington correspondent
of the n. Y. Herald has the following
expose of a recent session Of the Fed
eral Cabinet
The meeting Of the Cabinet was
important, the discussion stormy !;
hut the result was the triumph of the
President and ispopular policy over
the prjudiees aud passions Of his ad-
visers. Secretary Stanton declined
to srant Gen. McClellan's request
that certain troops should be- sent to
him, and also objected to the P:esi-
dents order that another division
should join McClellan's corps, al
though this order was issued in COM
pliance with McClellan's own desire.
This was the subject under discussion
and Ut very naturally led to agcncral
controversy about Mcclellan and his
plans The President defended Nc
Clellan, and was sustained by Secre-
tary Seward and Bl;,ir this strange
conditions resulting rather from Sew
ards GOODNESS towards Stanton and
Chase than from his admiration Of
McClellan, Tire discussion was earn
est and warm Secretary Stanton
being especially impetuous and de-
clamatory against the Presidents
policy. AT last the President declar-
ed he had set his foot down firmly
that Gen. Mcclellan should not bcin-
terirred with, and should have any
thing he needed from the War De-
partmcnt, and that it was needless to
attempt to modify his opinion of Gen
Mcclellan and his plans. The re
suit OF this noble speech was the ru-
mors of Stantou's resignation, and
the Immediate rapid advance of the
forces under Mcdowell who Aad been
waiting in Washington to have his
destination decided.

EERocIous.-In Il speech made
recently by Hon. George III. leaman
at Hawcsville, Indiana, he said:
The matters / have so tar discuss
ed tttoaCt: of recent occurrence, be-
long to the past, and the discussion
of them has become almost thread
bare. But the disease is best treated
whose cause is best known. The
practical question now Is as to the
tn4atmeut ot rebels and rebel States.
The brilliant and eliminating s,,c =
ces-rs of the Federal army bring
this questions ho.ne to It's by demon
strating that this war cannot last
much longer. L would have the ma
tional arms to d.Jcat, to dispcrsc, ~,
