COMPROMISES.
From The He,s- York CAronicis

From The Esto- York Chronios.
With the great successes Of the Union armies comes
the danger of compromise that shall prove as an
armistce for the Rebels giving them time 10 recover
their strength and rebuild their hope Of q separate
nationality or securing TO them their old and perilous
domination in tie nationsl affairs Of the restored
Union. We have DO faith in their last man and
last dollar" tal and OF their retiring into fasnesses
and carrying on guerrilla wsfarc, after they have
laid waite their towns and villages. Men don't covet
self.destruction, though exasperated and terrified
ones do talk fercely and inconsiderately. The dan
yer is tina. they will soon be sueing for peace, on
terms very liue different fiom those which they
first started TO gain by force. The North, having no
ebnity TO the South, in the maguanmity Of victoss
may be inclined to be generous TO the forgetuDess
of principle. And there will be plenty Of am
bilious men, having eye 10 the Presidential cleo
ton Of 1861 and the Southern VOTE who will attempt
to aid in rotten pacfcation which shall be tender
Of Rebels and Rebellion. The people must be on
their guard against this compromising spirit, and
check it's expression. II will be mad folly for u.s.
after all our expense Of blood and treasure to patch
up compromise that shall leave Us where We were
when we began, with a burden Of debt in addition.
The only way 10 TO make ,haoagh work, and 70 kill
out rebellion as to insure tie country sganst the
danger Of repetition.

THURSDAY, May 29.-The trial of liquor
seizure cases was commenced, the first taken
up being that of Patrick McSweeney, who
kept liquor store at Washington Square, in
this city, at the time of the seizure was made.
M. j. McCatferty, Esq, appeared for the
claimant, but upon the statement of the dis
trict attorney, sustained by the court, that the
attorney, in the personal absence of the
claimant, would be held responsible for costs,
the counsel disappeared from case The evil
dence for the government was then taken, and
the jury brought in verdict that the whole
OF the property described in the complaint,
and seized by virtue thereof, was at the time
OF making the complaint, owned or kept by
said McSweeney, for the purpose of being
sold in violation of the law"
The trial of Joseph S. Hill and James L.
Leavens was then commenced. George f.
Very, Esq. counsel for the defendants. sub
mitted plea in abatement, of an alleged con-
spiracy on the part of sundry individuals, in
Guiding some Of the police, which plea the
court oyerruled. Mr.. Very then asked for Il
dismissal of the case on account of informali-
ty in the papers, in which he was also over
ruled. He then filed IA further plea in abate-
ment, alleging that this case had once been
fully passed upon by the police court, and the
defendant Hill found not guilty therefore this
court had no jurisdiction, either against Hill
or Leavens, in this case. The court decided
that the charges in the indictment against
Leavens might be tried, but could not hold as
against HILL on the ground that he (Hill) had
been tried for keeping the same liquors, before
the police court-a court having jurisdiction
The trial of Leavens was then proceeded

Mr.. Editor To the Daily Spy, for sea-
sonable and commendatory notices of musical
concerts and conventions in Worcester, its
readers in Blackstone valley, who are "moved
by concord of sweet sounds" are much in
debted for an opportunity of listening to the
classic music of the "Mendelssohns" and
"Mozarts," and of being instructed by your
yearly conventions. By such influences.
emanating from our country capital, correct
musical taste is cultivated, and a desire IN
emulate a worthy example is manifest. in the
towns and villages of "Worcester south. ="
This is especially apparent in the thriving lit-
tie village of Whitinsville, to whose deserved
reputation for industrial skill and enterprise
judge is being added quite local celebrity for
its pleasant musical entertainments. The
generous patronage given these festivals are
indicative of the literally and taste of its citi.

On Saturday last the governor received Of
hclal information of advices from fort Monroe
to the effect that the enemy were advancing
in force on Washington from Richmond. and
he was warned that he might at any moment
receive requisition for the whole militia of
the state. In the hope that these reports
might prove unfounded, and wishing to avoid
an unnecessary alarm, these dispatches were
kept secret. During Sunday further dispatch
es OF similar import, but expressing more
over apprehension of disaster to Gen. Banks'
column were received from different sources
At last on Sunday evening, the three sub

Acting brigadier general George T. Shepley,
colonel of the 18th regiment Of Maine volun-

indebted to the Picayune for the information
that Gen. Butler will make his headquarters
on the sea coast. Col. Shepley is son of
judge Shepley, formerly judge Of the supreme

Gov. ANDREWS APPEAL.-That there has
been some serious mismanagement of our
military affairs is plain enough. A disaster
like that to Banks could not happen without
it. But after it had happened, the mistake in
estimating the real peril, and in calling out so
large militia force in the north, was only
less striking. We observe that the papers
which delight in packing upon Gov. Andrew
the blame for pretty nearly everything wrong
that is done anywhere, are rebuking him for
the exciting proclamation he issued on Sunday
night. Now we judge from his proclamation
that the dispatch sent to him was identical
with that sent to Governor Sprague, and we
know that that would fully authorize and JUS
tify every word in Gov. Andrews stirring ap-
peal to the state. We presume that the same
kind of dispatches were sent to the various
governors. The danger was over-rated. The
capital was not in peril. The rebels were in
no condition to get into Maryland. There is
something sublime in the prompt response of
the north to the call winch was made. The
governors are not at all responsible for the
mistake in summoning so many men in such
haste, but are rather worthy of all credit for
the alacrity and spirit with which they adj
dressed themselves to the work.
