QOr anu harness TO tell INC people tnat the
Constitution vested in Congress the power to
'provide for calling forth the Militia to exc
cute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrec-
lions and repel iuvasion;" that Congress had
passed an act in 1895, clothing the Executive
with authority to call forth the militia in case
of instruction, invasion or rebellion; and that
Mr.. Lincoln's dangerous stride Of power turn
ed upon the proper construction of this Act,
several eminent lawyers Of secession senti-
ments in this State agreeing with Mr. Lincoln's
views of his powers under the Act. And so
the enormous usurpation of the Executive,
dwindles into insigni6cance when compared
with the great object of preserving the Gov
eminent from overthrow and destruction.
Let this matter be as it may the President
has no right to invade the rebel States with
out their consent, and any amount Of eloquent
bombast was poured forth in defense of the
sacred soil of the south. President Washing
ton might call ont the militia and send it into
the State of Pennsylvania to suppress whisky
instruction; President Jackson might send the
navy and army into the harbor at Charleston
to prevent the forcible resistance Of revenue
law; President Fillmore might send armed
troops into the heart of Boston to quell or dis
perse mob in vindication Of the Fugitive Slave
Law; but Mr.. Lincoln cannot enter with an
army on the sacred soil of the South to crush a
stupendous rebellion and preserve the Govern
ment from overthrow. Forsooth, the rebel
President may, under Constitution Of like
war powers, invade the sacred soil of Kentucky
and Missouri to force those loyal States from
the Union; but Mr.. Lincoln is tyrant and
usurping invader if he attempts to hold the
States i'll the Union. These important truths
will be indelibly written on the public mind
before the close of this war, that the power to
suppress instruction or rebellion carries with
it necessarily the right to 60 with an army
wherever it raises its horrid head, and that in

DARK HOURS PASSED.
From my knowledge of the situation, cher
ish strong hope-amounting now to con.
viction-that the darkest hours have passed.
1t was the cruel belief of all ON Tuesday that
the enemy was massing his power to close up
on us that day or the next. As they failed to
press upon US then, l feel satisfied that
they lost their golden opportunity. I left
Hardin's Landing (headquarters) at about Z
o'clock on Tuesday evening. The army was
above that point. The position on which our
last stand would be made when the climax
should arrive was Malvern Hill. There was
some fighting going on, but not general bat
tie. We had repulsed the enemy in the terri
BILE battle of Monday, but that night our lines
were necessarily contracted. Both TANKS were
protected somewhat by gunboats, but still the
greater part Of our position was assailable.
Had the army been fresh We could have defied
assault At about 8 o'clock our steamer left
Harrison's Landing, several miles below.
Perpaps 1000 troops which were returning
from hospitals, incluning the two regiments
which had been sent with Gen. Stoneman to
decoy the enemy to Whitehouse, and the
Whitehouse garrison, were then anchored in
the river awaiting orders. Our transportation
trains were arriving from Malvern Hill but the
army was not following. Supplies had not
even then arrived. That night, however, we
met transports with supplies and reinforce
ments, and before Wednesday morning the
army had undoubtedly received some relief,
enough perhaps with the inactivity of the
enemy to save it. But you know now that
the country was never before in such awful
peril. Do you not thank Almighty God that
he has SO nercifully spared US from awful Ca
lamity?
THE POSITION.
With limited time, endeavored to convey to
readers . clear idea of the position Of the army.
It may be wise perhaps to restate it. With

Morally, Geographically, Politically,
this is indispensable for all of us
even if the war is to last twenty years
--as "peace' now would be but a

because in two thus contingent countries,
if not more, there must ever exist two
great armies, if not more, eating out
the vitals of the People, and eorrupting
all their morals: Geographically, be-
cause our Rivers and Mountains, Bays

The War Meeting.

The meeting In the Fifth Street
Market Space last night, to give ex-
preston to the sentiments of the people
ON the subject Of the War, was the
largest ever held in Cincinnati; the
largest ever held in the West; and in
deed, the largestwe have seen anywhere.
The citizens literally turned out in a
body. It was not confined to men,
either. The ladies' of Cincinnati,
whose hearts beat strong in the cause of
their country, were there in consider
able numbers. And itwas as enthusi-
astio as it was large. A feeling of the
deepest earnestness, and the purest pat
riotism was manifested through hout.-
With the surging masses congregated in
the Market Space, around the stands of
the several speakers, vigorous measures
were popular. Every remark favoring
sp earnest, crushing policy, was loudly
applauded. The people said plainly
and distinetiyely, by their actions, that
the infamous rebellion must be sup
pressed; that the Union must be pre-
served; and that all measures necessary
to these results ought to be promptly
and unliesftafjngly adopted. This ex-
preston, as the voice Of fifty thousand
men, assembled in our city, went. up
last night, to the Government. Its ut
terance was SO empathic that it is net to
be mistaken. Throughout the whole
proceedings there was no uncertain
sound. There was no disposition TO
discuss nice questions, or disputed party
theories. We are in the midst of war.
The nation is in peril. The Censtitu-
ton is assailed. Free Government is
threatened. 1t is, in fact, SO far as this
Nation is concerned, question of life
and death. 1t is no time for hair
splitting; no time for thrustiDg side
issues, or minor topics upon the people.
The great work before US IS the sup
preston Of the rebellion; and to this it
Is our duty to apply ourselves, without
ifs or butts. or reservations of any kind;
using all the means within our reach,
justified by the rules of civilized war
fare, to accomplish our purpose. This
is, beyond question, the voice OF Gin.
einnati. It Is the voice of the loyal
people OF the Nation. Let this clarion
note of loyalty and earnestness ring
through the National Capital, and
through our armies, until the policy oi
saeyernment and the course OF our
Geperais come up 10 the leYei OF pubic
sentimenf, as thus expressed, and peace

The Consequences OF Rebellion F0retold
by Friend of the south.

NY u FftChA Oh tht SouLn
The New York Express has been the
most persistent friend Of the South
prior to and since the commencement
of hostilities, incurring the obloquy of
the North, and being accused of disloy-
atty because Of its friendly sentiments
for the Southern people. There is not
the remotest taint of abolition about it,
and in all its opinions and inclinations
it is decidedly pro-slavery. Yet the
New York Express cannot shut its eyes
to the drift of events and the conse-
quences that will inevitably result from
prolongation of the rebellion Itsol-
emnly warns the rebels of the fate in
store for them if they persist, as JEFF
Davis declares they will and shall, in
"a twenty years wal" and truer words
were never uttered, and none more sig,
nifcant, than are its columns:
Self Government, ao,o, IS aoithiH the
falJ reach of every rebezlious State. The
soldiers of the North, nouo, whatever the
Abolitionists may give out in Congress
are not fighting "to subjugate" Southern
men, but to restore to them their form
of Self Government, as we'll as ours

Washington created, as we'll as ou1
