and Withdrawn from Lincom's Cabinet
The statement purports to be made on the
authority of the National IatcLgmeer ana
At is announced upon the same authority
that the Governors of Pennsylvania, Con
,necticut and Ohio decline TO send any
more troops to the field. We are dis-
posed TO doubt both Beyond question
Seward IS thoroughly satisfied ere thls'ol

in retirement But it is hardly probable
the severance would be 50 abrupt as the
telegram from Lynchburg indicates. As
for Lincoln, he has yielded body and soul
TO the ultras, and seems fatally bent on
attempting to enforce their destructive
policy. There are abundant signs. at the
North Of growing discomfort and alarm
among the masses; and we reitcrate the
opinion, expressed twelve months since,
that the war, if protraoted, will result
in a revolution in that direction, fierce
and bloody. which will sweep the de
stroyeIs Of the Constitution and the Union
out OF existence and rae society to its
very foundations. The spirit of yolun-
teering is dead, and enormous bounties
are offered to induce men to enlist;pcacc
meetings are occasionally being held, and
tongues and pens that have been palsied
and tied, are beginning to move and
speak Now Is the time for the Confed-
'eracy to strike, while the enemy is dis
tracted and becoming conscious Of the in
,cipient throcs Of revolution in his own
midst; to put forth all its vigor and
strength; drive the ruthless foe from its
soil, and bring the struggle to a speedy
close
On the outside of our paper will be
found the correspondence between Lin
coin and the members to the Federal
Congress from the border slave States
L.incoln's policy is todetach the border
States from their brethren of the South
proper, under promise to pay them for
their niggers. 1t is a significant docu.
'ment, and if there is "Union man"
among our numerous readers, we COM
mend it to his careful consideration.
The Black Republican members of Con
gress have issued an address to the PEG
pie of the North, urging them to support
the war and to endorse the radical mea-
sures adopted for its prosecution. The
address charges all manner Of outrages 20
the Confederates, while the Northern
ihordes who have come South with pow
-erty in their purses, lust in their eyes,
and murder in their hearts, are models
of virtue, forbcarance and humanity
With the exception of the admission that
the rebellion is id big thing and
mot to be crushed m an hour, this Omaha
ton of the Black Republican brain is an
abomination of lies, misconception and
'exaggeration from beginning to end.
A convention of committees met in
New York recently, and resolved that
Lincoln should at once issue Proclama-
ton declaring all the slaves free, and pro-
coed to arm as many Of them as possible
TO war against ana eXterminate tine white
population of the South. Whether Abe
will venture upon so desperate a step re-
mains to be seen.
New England is beginning to'eomplain

Upon the whole, the prospect up North
