With alacii!g ard Ugor Il hirks, also, that the forces

K1ke alias G1ner, is the theme of another article
In the Enquirer. President Davis expressions of cur
resolution to continue the war dd infHitun until our
IudependeI is established enphAtcAIy approved.
Says tie Enquirer:
He has reduced his ESts fellow cit to tbs level
with bis black, OF At lean descent. He has sacrificed
handrads Of thousands Of white men, and mlious up
miho.s Of their morey, but he has not gVeu liberty
to the Feet usgro. /. may be matter o. selliAudaton

pie entrusted 10 he slaEos Of Virginia the
cred duty OF defending national existence posterity will
read vi sgust The record OF Yankee COWArdioe and

Cur nationality Is for white men, aud white men are
lighting tor il, and king negroes perform those
nal Offices for which Providence deiyned them. Our
pRtiouatY viii DO without the yielding OF any right
on Ihe sutjecs of slayery.
The Sentinel devotes something over column to
defence OF the Cabinet the sggrCga.e and ndiVid
uany. To descend 70 psrticulars--the Secretary of
War has rather exceeded than fallen short Of public
expectation; has gwen renewed Ugor to our arms, Aad
has served his country with industry, deVOtedness and
success. As tor the Attorney General, no missile Of
,lsndsr or detraetOn has yet seea aimed at him. l.
might not be cafe 10 sssAl him, &c.,-iTom which We
nier ths. cur respectable Attorney General must be q
very formidable and dangerous customer. The Post
m s.er General hss laracser Gas firm and IS pure "a
hree refined steel" and is admitted on all hands TO
b. modest and courteous gsnilemao, and most excel
lent Sf6eer." The objections to the Secretary Of
State seem to have dWindlsd down to the fac.
tat he is q Jew" he has hsd no opportunity
% display his diplomatic talent; but the time is at
band when his abilities will be needed. The Sec
sary of the Navy is defended against the popular
charge of abnormal piDgustuie. We must confess
that We heard this accusation brought sgainst NJ.
Mallory but the Sentinel probably knows moro shout
it than We do. Bssies no. being too fat, Mr. Mallory
sas really, our contemporary maintains dono good
vice in the Navy Department. The new Secretary Of
the Treasury sis admitted ell bands to be good
appointment" and will 'do all that can do to re-
store our currency to healthy state"
After reading the SsatiHsEs notice. we cannot help
le;,a,irg ourselves the COnfedeFncy's good lack
il possessing such CAbineii and, as to its members
hey would be jcsdhsd in repeating in grand chrrus
CcarC's famous bu; modest sPOaHOpbe:

Dispatch contrasts the conduct OF Gus o,oss in
Maryland with that of the Yankees in the South. Like
wise, our contemporary gives picture, not very Eat
tsriDg of Northern pOit cal religlouists. II says:
When AbclidonLm was invented by Eoglsh Puritsns
and hsndsd TO their breed in New England, they
mounted tee irrepTessibe negro as it their legs
born for bis shoulders. They saw at once the mex

the South and he proceeds pocketed, they could afford

over it furnished them opportunity of turning back

cal power which has been Their ds ling passion
Let Puritan preacher dabbl in politics. and he is
happy as q hog in mud puddle, and himself
about much for the Haven that isebove him.
The Ezamipsr holds up one of their own mlrrOISso
tho Yankee race showing by confessions of their press
that they hsvs failed in all they have attempted and
hoped in the war; and that they are The curvest and
basest Of mankind, with the sest and vugarest ruler
on top of the earth.
In a second article, the Examiner holds that
Maryland and Northwest Virginia must DO treated as
the enemy's country. They are deeply Engaged in
the invasion of the Confederscy Ma sachuset what
sOever organized and Efficient public fOTca they have
is on the side Of the eHemJ all their public opinion

The proposition is dub less true that MIryllnd and
Northwestern Virginia should be made to contribute
the due proportion to the war for Whether regarded
az enemies OF Friends this Is lab lily that results from
war There is nct, and cannot be, any such thing
neutrality and immunity in this contest But of course
the EzGsaiHsr does net that the people Of Mary
land and Northwestern Virginia. who bsve not taken up
arms against u, are to be warred enemies. As
to the tories and traitors there short shrt and quick
dispatch is their only dsser'.
Ia other paragraphs the Examiner fdmOnshes the
authorities to watch v:gilAndy the pending movements
Of Grant on the North side; and Sninsdvers on the
singulsr seton Of the aaseasne1t commissioners 10 ar
rargiug the new schedule Of prices.
