A Cloud In the East.

A most striking illustration was yester day
given of the uses of that marvellous instru-
ment, the electric telegraph. On Friday
there arrived in the harbor of San Francisco
vessel from Japan bringing date from that
remote empire down to the middle of May.
The news which this vessel brought was of
the highest importance pointing Immediately
toa war between the naval powers Of Christ
endom and the Japanese government. On
Saturday the telegraph had delivered this
news in New-York, and yesterday saw the
wires at work flashing thc Official notifca,
tions of the foreign consuls here to their gov
ernInents over the telegraph lines all the way
TO Cape Race, where the dispatches would be
put on board Saturdays steamer for Europe
and 20 in about six weeks time authentic in
telligence Of the condition of things in Japan
will reach the foreign Offices Of Great Britain
and France. ....
Whether the governments Of these coun-
tries will look with pleasure on the Sarlike
aspect which matters have for some time been
assuming between the Japanese oe high de-
gree and the foreign residents may be doubt
ed, But, be this as it may, it will be neces-
sary for France and England to act together
In the premises and when we consider the
high temper, the varied recources and the
mechanical skill of the Japanese nation it is
evident that the cloud gathering over that
couttry is infinitely likely to be followed by
war much more trying and formidable than
the allied campaign against the "Ceptral

The news from the seat of war is OF
tie most startling character, and should
command the earnest attention Of every one.
Our own State is invaded, and Rebels are
within our borders. The President has call
ed fer one hundred thousand, six Months
Militia, and Gov. Curtin has issued a proc
lamation calling upon all able bodied men,
within the ages OF eighteen and sixty, to or
ganize at once for the defense of the state.
The State has been divided into two Militia
~ districts, Gen. Couch commanding the
eastern, with his head quarters at Chambers
burg, and Gen Brooks the Western district.
having his head quarters at Pittsburg. Our
own homes and iresides are threatened.-
There is no time for hesitation, and however
much We may deprecate the course of the
administration, we must protect our homes.
We have given thousands upon thousands of
our citizens to crush out this wicked Rebell-
ion, and mourning is heard for the slain at
nearly every fireside. Our money, too, has
been given without stint, yet the Rebellion is
not crushed, and we are called upon to de-
fend ourselves. The war, instead of being
aggressive on our part, has become defens-
i've. Where are the thousands we have sent
TO battle 2 Where are our armies ? Is
Washington to be guarded that our state
may be desolated2 ? Truly this is mastery

remaining. II The government is incapable

Without casting reflection upon any mill
tary man, it appeared to him this has been a
brainless war. 6 That's So" and laughter.
The means of the country have been wasted
in isolated places. Contractors have carried
on the war. The blood of our men the groans
Of the wounded, the tears of the orphan and
the walls of the widow have been coined n
to money. Men without patriotism AID wis
dom have urged military plans which have
not accomplished anything. Expeditions
have been got up to wipe the outside Of the
platter on the coast, while there are places
that could be struck, to rapidly terminate the
rebellion.
The above is taken from long speech
made by General o. B. Wilcox, on his re-
turn from years Imprisonment in North
Carolina. He has since served with distinc-
tion in the field, and has lately been appoint
ed the successor Of HAsCALL in the command
OF the military district of Indiana and
Michigan. Unless General Wilcox has very
much changed, his sympathies must be with
the Democratic party, whose opposition TO
the Administration is based upon the very
shortcomings he SO clearly points out in the
above. The experience of the past year in
the field must have confirmed his impression
that this is indeed brainless war"

The old Democratic party is still a power
in the land whose strong arms and enduring
principles are competent TO rescue the coun-
try, and perpetuate it's strong constitutional
government for generations to come. The
Democratic party was founded especially for
the maintenance of the Constitution and it's
vigorous hands, not yet palsied by age, will
be found equal % the task assigned it by its
ancient founders. Its mission is now to save
the country and maintain the great principles
of civil and religious liberty which sustained
the men of the Revolution in their heroic
contes: with the power O. the British crown.
The statesmen OF the Democratic party, amid
the darkness and gloom that now veil our
national prosperity, look hopefully forward to
years OF glory and greatness yet to be enjoy
ed by our country beneath the folds of the
cid flag of " Stars and Stripes" now trailing
in the dust, through the treason of the South
and the faithlessDess Of the Administration
at Washington.
