4 ETALIAFIoN. The savage threat Of JeG
Davis 10 deliver over ell cco2m ssioned Union
officers 60 the Governors of the States in which
they roay be taken prisoners, to be sried by the
State laws for exciting seEvile insurrectian,
doesn seem to be entirely acceptable to the
fre-eateTs themselves Mr. Y&Acey, IN the
rebel Congress, has raised some very grave
doubts whether they can be tried by these State
laws. Some Of the rebel papers have also ex-
pressed doubt OF the expdiancy otssuch a
measure, especially since our capture OF large
lot Of rebel Officers at Arkansas Post. We have
already noticed tina the Tendon Times has ex-
pressed some disgust that, after all that paper
had done for the Southern Confederacy, JEFF
Davis should 50 outlaw himself and cut his
Confedsracy of from the sympathy OF all civil
lied and christian communities. We may be
sure from all these Indications that the rebsl
Government will think twice before they hang,
or shops, or burn as the stake, any Union Off
GERS. If the ,hreat does not, as II was intended
mighten our Government into any disgraoeful
surrender Of its rights. or abandonment of itc
position, it will be conveniently forgotten by
# Davis himself, or some plsusibls pretex
will DO found for abrogating it entirely.

Gen. Pope's Official Report.

The history of Gen. Popes Virginia campaign,
in the form of an official report, has ooen pub
Gshed, aud gives clear and connected account
Of bis military operations, from the time ho
tock the field in Virginia, until, ct his own re-
gust, he was relieved from his comm&nd when
the army returned into the cntrenchments about
Washington. From this repors, and the orders,
dispatches and correspondence connected with
it, we think Gen. Pope's military reputation
tsaust, in all impartial minds, be vindicatod.--
Csris inly, a more active. and vigorous and bet
ter msnaged campaign, on the part OF Com
naanding Genera. has not been made during the
war.
When Pope FIRST took the field he found the
work set fer him to do so difficult, with the
ANAL force at his command, that nc 5hon asked
to be relieved. This request was not granted
He tier started towards Richmond vita about
40 600 men, writing 10 Con. Mcclellan at the
same time anu asking to DO ADVISED OF tho plan
OF she campaign on the Peninsula, that no might
act with reference to it and int lligenty co-ope-
rate with that advance on the rebel capital
Gen. Mcclellan, however, gave him an ansatis'
factory answer, and lie was left no resource but
to act independent of him. After Pope hae
arrived with his advance, half way from Fred
er,cksburg to Richmond, he heard OF the intend
al change Of base, from the Chlckahomlny u
tho James. This cause him to write an earn
est letter to Gen Halleck, showing what advan
t.res such movement would give the rebels

North Carolina and the Davis Government

The position of North Carolina in the South
ern Confederacy is certainly sif anomalous one,
and will, if we get reliable reports Of tas opu-
ioNs and feelings of Gov Vance, cause the Rich
noud Government considerable unes8inoss. The
theory spsn which that Government is started
into life, the very cornerstone OF tbs Southern
Coniedsracy, is the absolute right of State to
secsde from the Usion, and to be its own
Judge of the moment, and what shall be aa ade-
quate cause fer such secession II is sn.y upon
that prnci pie that the rebellion kas been justified
by its foremost leaders. J'l2J% ao3
State Rights has been so long the favorite doc.
urine Of the pro-slavery politicians who have at
last inaugurated rebellion, that ii is hardly wsn-
terful to see it appsaras cause cfdivision among
themselves; ard it will be s;rangciE, in the pro-
gress Of the war, it should not provo an elemen;
Of weakness to treason, thus r,coiing uycn it's
eriginators with terrible Punishment. Sometime
since, the Governor of Georgia had very serious
doubts about the right of the Davis Government
10 enforce It's consoript law within tllat State,
though We believe this difficulty was, in some
way, compromised, and that State and the CON
federacy apparently restored to amicabIe rel-ton,
But North Carolina promises to give Davis more
trouble. The State never very eAeeriu.ly went
with the rebels and it would not DO at all surpris-
ing it this assertion Of State Rights was only
Unionisln in disguise. Gov. Vance, Of least, seems
to be determined and stubborn. While North
Carolina has furnished 10000 soldiers TO the
Confederacy be has no purpose Of allowing these
soldiers 70 remain away from the State, when
needed to defend their homes and firesidel from
lnvasion. And SO he meets Jeff Davis on neu-
tral ground, and they talk tie mater over. JEFF
doubtless pleading the necessities Of his falling
fortunes, and begging Gov. Vance to post one his
assertion Of State Rights to More convenient
season, and Gov. Vance pleading the necessi,iea
OF North Carolina, and the right of a State to
use It's own resources in its own defence. And
from the news we get we may fairly conclude that
che upshot of this difficulty between these rebel
officials will be the sending of troops from the
SoutherR array to the defence Of North Carolina
as Davis can, ct the present moment, hardly af-
ford tie luxury Of rebellion within rebellion.

by preventing any cooperation OF the tive
Union armies and inviting an attack by the
rebels upon the array which they deemed the
weakest and the wisdom of this advice Was
proved by the event.

possible, until the army OF the Peninsula could
be Withdrawn, and united with his behind the
RsppahannOck. Finding the whole OF Lees

saving sll his supplies and transportation, to
the line OF the Rappahannock The river was
easily fordabls almost any where, and he was
obliged to defend it for miles against the entire
rebsl army. lie held it fer many days, waiting
with the utmost anxiety for relnforcements from
the army Of the Potomac A portion OF Lee S
army crossed the Rappahannock, many miles
up, and further than Pope's limited nuaber of
troops would permit him to contest the passage
Of the river. AS soon rs he knew Of this, he
determined to Gross the river and attack the
enemy in the front and flank. A heavy rain
and sadden riss Of the river, however, prevented
this, and he Immediately changed his plan Of
operations, and moved upon the clemy on his
right. The heavy fighting, which lasted for

and now, at noon, the Third Corps lies near Ash
by's Gap, where it camped yesterday afternoon,
and is under orders, am told, to report at War
renton tomorrow night. Reveille sounded at
four o'clock this morning, and our Division was in
readiness to march at FIVE, but for some reason
which Major General French did not deign to
make known to us privates, the column did not
move. Exercise, however, being considered indis-
pensable to the health of ye soldier, an inspection
of arms took place at eight o'clock, on which &C.

by rainy weather, damp nights, bivouacs in mud

gun barrel SO dazzed the eyes Of the inspecting
officer that he was glad to move on to the next.
and crest-fallen was he who was ordered back to
his quarters to renew bis applications of sandpa-
