rMs Hour OF Trial.

x.rb.t has been SO long threatened and so much
.,u,ed about seems to have come at last. TIE long
deferred attack on Wilmington would appear to be at
h. nd We have good reason to believe, from inorma-
tiou received that attack is imninent-ay be looked
for any day The feet Is assembling boh at Fortress
Monroe and Beaufort Harbor, n. @.
Such information is regarded as authentic by our
military authorities, ard they extremely anxious,
and indeed positively dssre that all combattants,
and especially women and children, should be removed
before attack actually does take place This is de-
sired for their sakes and for the further
that their presence would necessarily have the effect
of embarrassing the defeDca. II is EXPECTED that all
the en who remain will bear their full part in 0ctend
ing their homes and in Tepelirg the invaders OF orr
soil. Those who do rot make up their minds to do
what they can in defence eir hoes are expected to
leave, presume little sympathy Or favor vii! be
shown any portion Of the male population who
remain here, and who 20 not array themselves in de-
fence Of the place These properly cassed noncom
battans who IN end to case of an attack had
better do before tie pressure of actual attack is felt
as then the dfic0Ity Of removal may, AID probably
will be, insCrmOu1tah!o.

! Commenting upon an article 10 the Wilmington
Journal under the foregoing heading, the RaIeigt
Standard says:
"rhe word "sco1ndrel used by the President in the
speech referred to- doubt meant to apply to
Jared l. Whitaker, Esq, the proprietor of the Atlanta
InteUgencer, who Is State Commissary for Georgia
der Gov. Brown. The President struck at Gov Brown
through one Of his officers, who happens be the El
who charged the President win disposition to
abandon Georgia to her fate. It is significant fac.
that the President and Gov Brown had no intervirw
when the former was in Georgia bis recent visit and
that the President made alIuson y Governor L. in
any Of his speeches.
Mr. Holden is entirely mistaken in his version of the
affair to which be reers. The Wilmington Journal
was right. The term scoundrel" whicn polluted the
Presidents lips when n this city, have already sta
ed doubtless applied to the writer OF article for

OF this article, whose is Editor appears at the
head OF the paper. Where MIR. Holden of the Standard
got has information, we are at loss to divine We
apprehend the statement be has made was the coinage
OF his own BRAIN" We have never Known him to be
right, Gud the convcico impressed upon our mind

openly renouncing tie authority of the government,

feudal william who dsobeys his lori." When the
State OF Virginia separated from England, she became
an Independent sovereign State and the history of the
adoption OF the Constitution OF the United States
shows that she surrendered her sovereignty.
W hen she formed her Constitution she likewise pre-
scrbed oath Of testy and allegiance to her sole ard
separate sovereignty, which all her were bound
subscribe to. The Virginan who fights in defence of
his native State and agars. thCsa wdo invading
her eoil aud hls home, is not rebel. The State of
Virginia being sovereign and Independent cannot
rebel, because the creator cannot rebel against the
creature, and therefore the people Of Virginia, who
o5y the laws OF Virginia, cannot be rebels. The
people Of Virginia never made any State of the
late Union, the Federal agent located in Washing
