or the Rebels and the Energy or the


Government.


The public mind has been experiencing con-
siderable anxiety for the past week in conse-
quence of the various rumors aioat relative to
the movements Of our armies and the threaten
ing aspect which the rebel generals have of
late assumed. These features of the cam
paign. it is true, are calculated to awaken fresh
interest in the progress Of both armies, but
they indicate pretty clearly that great crisis
Is come for the rebel cause and that the begin
ming of the end OF the strife is near at hand.


The recent proceedings of the rebel Congress,
and the message of JEFF Davis threatening re-
taliation and cruelty for inhumanities falsely
alleged to have been perpetrated by our army,
are but evidences Of desperation which bespeak
dinidence in the prospect before them. They
are but tho efforts of o drowning man
grasping at straw. The message Of
Davis, although tart and bitter even
to savageness, and boastful withal, still
b. ses the tone Of one for whom the safety of
himself and his associate leaders is staked upon
one last great struggle. Then the foolish boast
Of the Southern press that quarter of mil
lion more men are 70 be raised in the Southern
States, while we know by the census returns
that rebeldom has been drained of almost its
last fighting man. All these facts prove that
the present position of the enemy is most criti-
cal and that he is fastening to an issue which
perhaps one grand battle will decide


The call Of President Lincoln for 600,O0
fresh men, and the response it has met with,
startles the South. This call really means
700, 900; for the return of convalescents and
absentces to their respective regiments will add
that difference to our army. This measure has
convinced the rebel chiefs that our government
il in earnest, and that no time is to be lost if
they would make q stand now with any pros
pect Of success against an army which, In few
days, will number . millisn and quarter Of
soldiera The more desperate, then, the cause
Of the rebels, the more dangerous do they be-
come in the present crisis, and they must be
met in the same spirit. Reinforcements must
continue to be poured down upon the armies
Of the Potomac and the Rappahannock, and
into Kentucky and Tennessee, and vigorous
policy must be followed up.


1t is encouraging TO see that the government
comprehends the crisis, and that Its action be-
tokens decision, promptituds and vigor. This Is
manifested in various ways and in both branches
Of the service. The system Of promotion for
bravery in the field and patriotic bearing in

TIE INDIAN MAssACREs.-The recent horrible
atrocities committed by the Indians in Mime
sofa say little for the policy which our govern.
ment hos for more than half century pursuea
in their regard. Enormous sums have, during
that period been spent in aanuities to the req
men, in the building of forts and in the en-
ployment of our whole army on the frontier;
and yet notwithstanding all this we have again
an outbreak compared to which the massacre
of Wyoming and all other similar catastrophes
recorded in our history fade into insignifcanos.


Is it straining point when we say that We
owe this dreadful occurrence to the rebelsY In
his message to the Richmond Congress JET. Da-'
Wis lays particular stress on the loyalty OF the
Indians to the Confederate government There
is but little doubt, therefore, that the dcvilish
spirit that instigated this wholesale massacre o.
an unoffendng population could have been 70
strained, if indeed it was not prompted, by bin
or his agents. And yet this is the man who, BY
the most shameful pcrversions Of truth, seeks
to saddle upon our government the charge d
carrying on the war in spirit of barbarism ana
in manner contrary to the usages Of civilins0
countries; this too, in the face of the fact that
he has inaugurated system of wholesale mur-
der and brigandage in the organization of guer-
lila bands, whom Napoleon declared to be be-
yond the palo Of civilized warfare, and hung ana
shot accordingly. History will judge between ~
as to which side has adhered most strictly to the
dictates Of humanity and established precedents
in the conduct Of the war. In the meanwhile
this unprovoked massacre of our citizens in
Minnesota cries aloud for vengeance.

As the enemy have left the Gtate, and all danger has disappeared, We now think it high time the executive should remove his office back to the seat of government. We regarded the move as unfortunate at the outsetj subsequent events have proved us to be correct. We should be sorry to have the public records fall into the enemy's hands, but it Is Q serious affair in a crisis like the present. for the government to desert its post and seemingly abandon the com test. It causes unnecessary distrust and alarm, and is calculated to create despair. It is better the records should be endangered, even des troyed, than that the State should be abandoned. The removal of the seat of government should only have been at the last moment and under the most imperative necessity. The good sense, the true courage and sterling patriotism of our people alone prevented the advance of the ene- my into the heart of the State, after its aban, donment by the government.
