TIE BEGLNNING OF TIE REBELLION
To THE EDITORS OF THE NATIONAL
lNTELLIcENcEa On Wednesday last, |
received the "N ational Intelligencer,' con
tanning Gen. SCOTS address to the pub
lic. This is throughout an undisguised
censure Of my conduct for the last months
of the Administration, in regard to the sew
en- Cotton States now in rebellion. From
our past relations, | was greatly surprised
at the appearance Of such paper. In
one aspect, however, it was highly gratify-
ing 1t has justified me, nay, it has rem
dered it absolutely necessary that / should
no longor remain 81 ent in respect to the
charges which have been long vaguely cir
culatng, but are now endorsed by the re.
sponsible name of Gen. Scott.
I. The first and most prominent among
these charges is my refusal Immediately to
garrison nine enumerated Notifications,
scattered over six of the Southern States,
according to the Recommendation of Gen.
Scott, in his "views' addressed to the War
Department on the ooh and 30th of Oc
tober, 1860. And it has even been alleg-
ed that if this had been done it might have
prevented the civil war.
This refusal is attributed, without the
least cause, to the influence Of Governor
Floyd All my cabinet must bear me wit
ness that | was the President myself, re-
sponsible for all the acts of the Admins
tration; and certain it is that during the
last six months previous to the 2sth Of
December, 1860, the day on which he re-
signed his office, after my request, he ex'
ercised less influence on the Admnistra'
| ton than any other member Of the Cabin
ct. Mr.. Holt was Immediately transfer
| red from the Post Office Department to
that of War; so that, from this time until
the 4th of March, 1861, which was by far
the most important period of the Admins
tration, he performed the duties of the Sec
retary Of War to my entire satisfaction.
But l did not Immediately garrison these
nine Notifications, in such manner, to
use the language of Gen, Scott, Gas te
make any attempt to take an one of them
by surprise or coup de,main ridiculous 7
There is one answer both easy and con-
cusiue. even if other valid reasons did ex.
ist There were no available troops with
IN reach which could be sent to these for
tdcations. To have attempted military
operation on scale so extensive by any
means within the Presidents power would
have been simply absmd. OF this Gener
al Scott himself seems to have been con-
Nnced, for on the day after the date OF hi

Gguse or represent important events, which

Rlclmand and Victory.

Richmond Is now Tie all.absorbing
interest. The eyes OF the whole ma
ton are now intenlly watching the
movements of the two great armies
fronting each other AZ Richmond; and
all loyal hearts are anxiously and
prayerfully awaiting the issue. Gen
Mcclellan has completed his arrange
ments for forward movement
There will be no seige. He viii take
the city by storm. He will never fall
back one inch. His orders to divis-
ions, brigades and regiments Is " hold
your positions al all hd.ords," 1t will
be done. The terrible contest cannot
long be postponed He has without
doubt been reinforced 10 the extent Of
serenity fire housand men. the best
troops in the service. lie has the ut
most confidence in his soldiers, and
they knog that they have in General
Mcclellan leader on whom they can
rely. Our army viii enter Richmond
just as sure as it takes up its line Of
march: but. unless the rebels evacu-
ate as at Yorktown, Manassas and
Corinth and hundred other places,
it will be at immense cost. If the
rebels give battle as we fear they may
not, but hope they aill, thousands and
thousands Of lives must be sacrificed.
We do not believe this Is their last
stronghold as some do. If they RON
ii win only be to make another stand.
There is some significance in their
last ditch" 1t means that our ar
mics have got TO cross long success
sion of bitches before the war viii be
ended, the South conquered and the
last ditch found. This is what it means,
and therefore we hope that the rebel
leaders will give Mcclellan battle be-
fore Richmond; because they will be
whipped, and until The leaders are
whipped and traitors hung will there
be prospect Of peace. Battles and
fighting and hanging are going to end
the war and nothing else. Proclama-
lions, manifestoes, "velyet fingered
persuasion and honeyed coaxing'
never will, The bard logic of their
position has got TO be beaten into
them before they can understand ii.--
And II they offer resistance to our ar

feeiually beaten into them. They will
undoubtedly understand their position

So far as Governor and Treasurer are

unsnimiy Of feel.rg and very justly
as we yicw il. Gov Il0lbrook has.

in very credi,ablc manner, and even
were il otherwise. common courtesy
would make il advisable 10 give him
second term Of office

rather the contrary, Why he should
not be elected The Office Of Treas
nrer i one that should not be oflen

emf time We appFehcnd that change
would be especially undesirable
There was never n period when there
was more need of skillful and saga

deem Il very fortunate that this most
important branch If our government
has fallen into such able hands. Mr..
Page has had nm extensive experience
in financial matters, Is il tie yigor Of
manhood, las given entire satisfaction
in the discharge of his duties, and We
trust and believe that lie viii be re-
nominated with entire unanimity.
As for Lieut. Governor the usual
rule would require new candidate,
ms Gov. Underwood has received two
elections Yet we are not surprised
70 see that there is strong feeling to
continue him ii oilice That Gov.
Underwood is an admirable presiding
officer and every way competent 10

nor is generally conceded and we
for one should be glad 10 have the
pleasure Of voting for him again. IF
However il shall be thought best 10
make a new nomination, and 10 place
on the ticket some one who has hiih-
crto acted with the Democratic party,
We shall very cheerially assent; FOR
We have said more illan once that we
would as soon vote for a democrat as
republican, always providing that
the candidate is Internationally and
earnestly for the preservation Of the
Union and the vigorous prosecution Of
the war against rebellion. Mr.. Die
bingham Of Waterbury, has been men
toned rs a candidate, and a better one
could scarcely he named There is
however another gentleman who has
hitherto been CHASED with the Demo

preference we allude TO Mr.. s. h..
Colby Of Montpelier, ore Of our most
worthy citizens, 40 able lawyer. very
popular not only with his political as
sociates, but wish all DO know him,
and one who would do honor 10 the
State in the capacity Of President Of

brook, Colby and Page would IN our
apprehension be elected ty pretty
