How could any cation tanf such drain upon it resources with, out national bankruptcy ? And yet in the face ol figure like the-e, and with the inevitable result which raut follow the present policy of the Go era tnent and lie individual extravagance of the people, not a thunzht i given to the matter by thoe in authority, or any effort made to remedy the evil On the other hand five wine Western Oovernor, to advance -cheme! of pervnal aggrandisement, have contracted with Mr. Lincoln, on their own account, to withdraw eighty five thousand men from the Northwestern Apricul. tural States, ju-t at n time when labor is most needed to put in the i print; crops and tend and hret the growin one, without wheh the people at Itome, the aoldier in the field, and of course th government itelf roust uftTr. And if we rie no urplu produce (or exportation, we shall of cour have nothing but gold to par the h l ance of trade against us. What then? Can it be otherwise than bankruptcy general and individual? In view of the present and prospective condi tion of affair, one of our most iii:cious and successful merchants, a decided Republican in politic and liberally repoiidwj: to every clj upon hi ru for public purpose, remarked to us, j jeterdav, that he could not ee the I policy of the Western Governor volunltr'lr j withdrawing Ubor from their Stile just at tins j period. Some popir.jtys, however, who hive not; brains enough tt comprehend nvre than one idea at a time, make a parade of their lovaltv bv dedaring that every business mut be droppie! but war. Let that advice be followed, and the mtaris of prosecuting the war aud the war itself would ioon drop out. We advise such men to look at the startling exhibit of the condition of the export and import of the first three months of Ibis ye.tr, given at the head of this article, and if they have an idea above an oyster they cannot fail to comprehend the road to ruin which the p-estnt financial policy of the country is tst driving us. What Should IlnvF Keen Done. If Governor Morton, and the Western Governors who acted with him, had called foreightyfive thouasnd men to put in the corn field. and aid the producing interests of those States generally, he would baTe exhibited sagacity and a true regard for the common welfare which would have entitled biro to the highest meed of praise. There is no estimating the good that the labor of twenty thousand men would have accomplished, if they had been employed for one hundred day in using the shovel and the hoe in producing instead of consuming. Hut Governor Mourox .tnd his confederates appear more anxious to destroy than creite thev seem to regard it as exhibiting mote wisdom and statesmtnship to let the nehls go to wte than to r use two spears of grass where but one grew before. Waste and extravagance appear to be the order of the day. Kronomv, frugality and thrift areno longer commended and pnotised. a in the purer and better days ot the Itepulic. If our women, instead of volunteering to take the pi -ices of men who would enlist for the war had associated themselves together to resist and overcome the wasteful and absurd eataragance of the times, their example in that regard would hire been of gretl service in restor-tur virtue und purity which are the atrength and glory of a n tiion. The criminal extravag mce of the people at the present lime is without a parallel. he resources of fie nt;on art being wasted in riotous living and at a time when, retrenchment and reform should be the rule. This is a work to whiih they should dire t their attention and energy, and for which they are peculiarly fitted. If they desire to do good and accomplish a real benefit to the nation, let them make war upon the extravagance which pervades every class of society, for it is the cause of more demoralization and crime than all other causes combined. ' But enough. We onlv make these t-ugges-tions to show what can be done and what should be done by those who have personal or otTnUl influence, and whose duty it is to exert it for the public good. lalnl lruie. Governor Morton made a hundred days war speech at Terre Haute on Monday night.

Lit colu for President, and A. Johnson for Vice X'reeiUent. There were person present, however, who aid that they would prefer F. D )'igla?s for Vice I'resideQt. In the mean time the Intelligencer of to day republishes the prote"'. agirit Mr. Lincoln ai d (he June Convention, and there is p reit ferment all aroat.d on arcount of the apparently d(jmineerirg course of that gentieman in regard to his re election. The Federal troops now congregated on the soil of Virginia no man has a right to number in public, but as there was a picket shot down in his track, a short distance from the Chin BriJue, the other night, it is a cause of wonder how it i that rebel soldier should be hovering about our camps within sight of the national cspital. The more we wonder, the more our wonder grows. Itetulintlon. The country ring with the cry of passionate men, who desire to plunge the nation into a of blood. Again and again we have directed attention to the folly and wickedue-s ol the plea that, becaue the rebels do thu and so, we umv andouzht to do the same. When the Adminis tration uppreoe 1 the fretnlom of the jire-s and J imfnsoncl citizen without law or right, the rad j ical party justified it because the rebels had inau- j curated a reijrn f terror at the Sonth. Ever? i species of wrong doing w a delei.dcd on the 8 ime plea. It was of no use to point out the insanity of the idev. Men would not listen. It et med to be imrjre-ised on the minds of the radical peo pie that whatever crime against humsnity might be committed by a savage in war, should be at once adopted and repeated by a civilized n ttion warring with thestvage. Hence the adoption by our leaders of a set of principles and practices which have disgraced us, tnd will to all time disgrace u in history. We shtll seek in vain to era.-e from the pages of our nuional story thee black .md ab'iminable records, and the onlv comfort i- that, as has occurred i;i other nations, the atrocities of which we speak will doubtless be chargeO to the Jacobins ot our clay, the radical party, who are alone repons.b!e for them, and that thus the nation will escape in some degree from the odium. The rebel cruelty at Fort Pillow M-eins to be beyond question. There is reason to believe that the horrors there committed have not bteu very much exaggerated The murderous conduct of the victois is o fully proven that it is safe to place the account on record as one of the bloodie-t and blacke-tin all the annals of warfare. Hut what shall we gain, in reputation, in honor, in strength, by what men call retaliation? Ii is better to settle in ihe first phce what relation the government bears to the lebeN. For the whole difficulty about negro KohJiers, aud much ot her Irouble too. grows out of the different po lotions taken at diMerent time by the Ad ministration in relereme to its treatment of the whole war. Is it or is it not a war at all? At one moment we re ncured it i a war, and that theiule of war re applicable At the next m omeni w e are told it is not a war. but a governin cut t-uppiei-Mt.g tiea.-on and crushing rebellion with a strong ha nd, and that none of (lie laws which govern the relations of belligerents can be le'arded as applicable. Every one remembeis the privateersuien, in which caes the Administration proceed to refue the application ot the lawi of war, and was ubout to hang the men a piiates. Wiser considerations ai.d a relel threat of retaliation induced a delay, and at length the men were exchanged Hut from that time to this a accession ol complication has arisen because of the negro policy and the onfiscttion policy ot the Administration, both of which tntirelv ignore the laws of war. If the rebels are to herecognized a belligerents in full, as they constantly are in pait, then the Administration has a plain course before it. It mut abandon confiscations, seizures, destruction of private property, and the enlistment of slaves. If, however, they are not to be treated as belligerents at all, then the course is equally plain, to push forward the war, burning, hanging and destroying. Hut the Litter course involves too many considerations for the Administration to pursue it. The rebels have the opportunity lor ?evere retaliation, and thus compel ti to treat them as belligerents. What arc the right and duties of belligerents, then, is a icrious question for our con-ideration. In the Fort Pillow case, the massacre of the garrison was an act which must either be avowed by the rebel authorities, or disavowed. If disavowed, ami the author properly punished, then if the rebels are belligerents, we have nothing more to detmnd on that account. If avowed and defended tin the ground that it is a belligerent right to niavH.tcre laves in arms, or to refuse quarter to the garrison of a fort, or on anv other ground, then it is only lelt for us to decide what is the right coiie lor a civilized n ition, and to pursue that course. As for ietaliation.it is ab surd to think of it, and the 'resident was talking to Iluncombe the other day when he talked about it. The rebels have too many opportunities ol retaliating They have some thousand of our men in their power. '1 hey will not hesitate to u their Dower. If they justify the sliughter at Fort i'iiiow, they will h ive no qualms of conscience at the detense of their policy by the execution ol our men in their hand We can't afford to inaugurate such a system. Thoe wh advocate it are passionate or fooli-h m!!, who ought to be in the army, and be also captured prisoners, so as tu lern a little of the truth and seriousness of wjr. It is well enough for thte who are at home, blustering and boasting in saloons an t on political stands, to talk about retaliation at w h never cost, but the soldiers of our i.oble army are not sheep to be sacrificed by the stay hi home politic! ins. to gratify angry snd thotight!es revenge. We cannot aliud retaliation till we eu!e what is the character of our opjNii ent. Retaliation is one sott of lecognition This in titer needs n more sensible investigation by the public mind than it has receded. The war is in u inger of degenerating on both sides into a contest disgraceiul to citiiizi'ion. The rebels aie bad enough, but we cannot reform rtbel inani.fts and customs. W e cannot make them change their habits or pi ms, but we can preserve our own trom becoming barbarous. With what face can we go to the wurld as ch impious of civihzttion. hen our cities and villages are hiled with the plunder of Southern houses? Witn what face can we claim the .sympathy ol nations, when our war degenerates into such nids as that of Si:et man. to spread devastation and bring out lhouandsot poor negroes to starve and die on the bank of the Mississippi? Let the people insist that the war shall go on as civilized uttions nuke war, thtt we shall pteserve the n ime of Americm Iree from the taunt of barb tr istn. and then we may claim from the whole world ..ii interest in a people who aie seeking to establish the supremacy of law.

RHTUtftX VIlV CF THE MZLlTalT UIcATlüS IN VIRGINIA. The following is the Southern view of the present military situation in Virginia. I mean it is the view tbt comes here from Southern authority; and I slate tb'S with particularity, because rot a s.ngie item of the following information come irom Union sources. What ia said about the strength and movements of the Union fortes may or may n jt be true, but it is w hat is Relieved to be true at Richmond, and the rebel movements are based upon it. Lojgsti eel's whole corrs has joined General Lee on the Kapidan, and Gen. Lee's armv is now nearer one hundred thousand than eighty thou sand strong. His main body is on the Rapidan, Dear Mine run, with Lougstreet on the extreme left, and Ewell'a corps ou the right. The old corps of A. V. Hill holds the center. TH ELBEL CAVaLET. Gen. Stuart's cavalry, fully eighteen thousand strong, are now massed altogether, both men and horse being in the best possible condition for making a campaign. The horses have been feediug partly upon gra-s tor more than a week, and lor this purpose the cavalry hate been kept a little di-tauce in the tear, aud to the south and wet of the main army. All along the eastern slope of the Hlue ridge, and in the country around Gordonsville and Charlottesville, and down to the James river, the pasturage has been abundatit for ten data past. Kven on the Itapidm, wheie the rebel cavalry uow are assembled, the grass i high enough to afford the horses a part of their food. Among the men, the general impression is that they ate to move immediately, h;iJ that their route will be up the Shenandoah valley. OE.V Ltt's LfcTIUATE OF OtN OR AXT. freu. Lee is playing a very deep strategic game. Whatever may be the estimation in which Gen. (irant is held by the magnate at Richmond. Gen Lee is too good a soldier to Jespi-e him. He is aware of the exact number of troop under Gen. Grant's orders, and he knows he will have to fight with a much larger Union army than he ever before encountered. All of his movements for a week past have been made with a view of deceiving Gen. Grant in regard to hi real intentions, and of leading the laiter to believe that bis object is the very reverse of w hat it really is All ot his maneuvers during the la.t six or seven days give color to the impression that he is mass ing the whole of hi available strength on the south side of the Kapidan; that he has selected that spot a the battle ground, and that he intends the battle to be fought there which is to decide the fate of Richmond. Gtx. li:e' strategic game. Hut such is not Gen. Lee's intention. He is ready to pake a certain movement, and ha been ready tor two weeks past. He only wuiis to make it until (Jen. Grant's plan of operation is fully developed; until hi line of march has been mde i'I aiiilv manifest; until (Jen. Grant shall have commuted bim-tif to a certain line of ope rations from which he cannot readily withdraw. Then Gen. Lee will make his real movement. ADVA N'T AG KS OK THK 0VKRLAXD ROUTE TO TUE RfcBKLa Lee i satisfied by this time that Gen. Grant h is been compelled to adopt the over! md route a the line of his advance on Richmond, and that any movements on Richmond made by way of the Peninsula or the James- river, or from the south, will be mere feints, mid that they will be nude, too, with such inconsiderable bodies of troops that they need give him no concern He is surprised that (irant should have taken this overland route, and the fact that he ha done so is a piece of good fortune that Lee did not expect. If Grant had made a peninsula campaign against Richmond in earnest, it would have ne cessitated the retention of Lee's whole army there, or near there, for the defense of the rebel capital. The adoption of the overland route, however, leave Lee free to curry out the plan which he has formed for operations in another direction. (Jen. Lee estimate the Union troop advancing toward the R ipidan, under Gen. Grant, at 85,000 strong, iucluding Hurnside's corps. The ultimate destination of Hurnside's corps gave Lee considerable uneasiness until recently, but he kept himself advised of its movements from day to day. Whatever miht have been thought or feared at Richmond, Lee never believed that it was Rurn side's corps, or any part of it, that was s tiling up the Rtppahanuock- It i a relief tJ him to know, however, that Hurnside's corps has joined Meade's armv, and that it will take part in the overland movement. WILL THERE BE A BATTLE ON THE RAPIDAX? There will be a battle on the Rapid m, but it will not be the rat battle. Gen Lee' position there i so strong, ami he is so well intrenched, that with one-third of his nrmv he expects to hold it tor some time against the advance of the Union troops It i prob dde, however, that it this advance is made in great foice. the position on he Kapidan will not be maintained, but the rebel fortes will fall back either to Mine run or to a position on the right bank ot the North Anna river, and between that stream and the Virginia Central Railroad, between Gordonsville and Hanover Junction Hoth of the-e positions aie strongly fortified, the intrenchmeats being very extensile THE BATTLE ML ST BE OX GROL'XD OF LEES CHOOSING. And to whichever of these positions the enenit retire there General Grant will have to follow It must not be forgotten that in this overland campaign, as in all that have preceded it, the battle, when it takes lace, will lnve to be fought at the time that General Lee cho ses. and on ground thtt he has selected for tint purpose. It may be in General Grant's power to defeat the rebel army alter the battle has been joined. Rut if is not in his pow er to compel General Lee to fight until he wishes to, or in any other position than that which he himself his chosen. This is a disagreeable fact But it is a fact nevertheless, and il in tv he well to remember it FOUriFIC.tTlONS AT G.'RbOXSVILLE. Gordonsville Junction is another point thathas been strovglv fortified by the rebels This point resembles Manassn Junction m its defensive features, and it would seem to be the design of the rebels to hold il with the same pertinacity There i a range of low hil's that run from that point to Hanover, and a the engineer offtVers of the rebel army spent several days of M ir h in examining them and in surveying the adjacent country, it i probable that the advantage which they afford will not be overlooked. THE STEONG T'iSITlOX OF THE REBELS CANNOT BE Tl'BMD. General Lee knows, too, and hi calculations are based upon thi fact, that, although General Grant's oljective point is Richmond, yet s'ill he will have to attack and defeat the Confederate armv, before he can get there; and General (itant himself, of course, is fully aware of this lact. Many people at the X'-rth who remember the great strength of the rebel position nt Mine Run, as demotistrstad by General Meade in Xitemleror Devemler of la-t year, and the terri ble slaughter of our troops under Huruside in the attempt to take Fredericksburg in December of the year before, no doubt fancy that General Granr, in his advance, wiil try rather to turn anv such string position as h- mty encounter, an 1 push on to Richmond by pissing to one side of them. Hut that cannot be done. To do so. would be to letve the rebel army in hi rear, and it is to gain precisely that position for the main body of hi array. h o'her word, to cet between Gererai Grant and Washington, that Geueral Lee's n.ancuvres will be directed. GLN LEE HE-IGX TO THRoW Ql M AtX BODT BETWLIlX okANT AND Wa-HIXiiTOS. In a word, depending on the vast advantage which his army ei j ys in position; on the various detetisive hr.es to which they can successfully fall back; and above all, on the impregntbility of the defen.es of Richmond, it is Gen Lee's de s:gu. aller the Union army has cro.d the Rapidan. to move with the muc t-dy of h s armv northward, and either to throw him.elt in Meade's tear and et'deator to defeat tneUn.on armv fir:. or el.e make a bold and raj. id push toward eithei W.astiinjton or Pennsylvania, while he leaves Me ide s army engaged with those of hi forces that are Ud t on tne Rapid tn If this plan seem improbable, lei it be remembered that eveu at the wor.t that pott on of Gen. Lee's armv let' on tlx Raplcsn iii do all that h;s whole armv touid do if worsted, namely, tail back to Ricttmond; and thai the t ic-eme of a lare rebel army i not conside.-ei necessary for the deft-use of that city ; at. d finally, the rebels firmly believe, und mi t ou the belief, that they defend

their capital best by threatening Washington. Thev do not now fear any operations of ours by wiy of the Peninsula. They did anticipate much trouble from that direction when (Jen Smith's two corp were first sent down, bectu-e they expected that that officer would supersede Butler. But now that they understand that Butler is to be retained at the head ot that Department, they have no apprehensions of any military operationthat may be undertaken therein. THE SEXTIXCI OF COLONEL FISH. The court martial ia the case of Colonel Fish has been in session for many weeks. The ccued has been defended by able counsel, and has had every opportunity to clear himself, but the evidecce in the case was overwhelming The sentence, published in the Wurld yesterday, i light for such Senses. And yet. will it be believed, w hen I assert that in almost every instance of tyranny and malieasance on the part of Fish, complaints were made to General Schenck, then In command here, and the proofs in each case (the same proofs that have now convicted him) laid before him, and that Schenck invariably refused to listen to them or to interfere? Such is the fact. It was the open boast of Fish, whenever he had been found guilty of an act of unusual meanness or tyranny, that Schenck would see him through; Schenck would uphold him, or Schenck had authorize. him to do so and so. And so it proved. For the only answ er that the outraged people of Baltimore could get from Schenck was that he had full confidence in Co!. Fish, and never interfered with him. I don't suppose that Schenck knew the extent of Fish's enormities But if he had listened to the com plaint, a was his duty, he would have known it. Un;er the circumstances, it may well be rjues tioned whether Sehende i not responsible for Fi.-h's official conduct. It is certain that he would Ix? held to be so res;onsib!e if he were not such a pet of the Administration. Druid. .statI; iTi:.ns.

The Circuit Court of Putnam county just closed, sentenced three thieves to the Jtffersonville Penitentiary. The cities of Terre Haute and Evansville give $50 bounty to those who volunteer in the bundled days service. Private subscriptions in both cities will inciease the bounty handsomely. Telegrsnis from Indianapolis in the Cincin nati papers boastingly stale that ail the towns and cities of liid'u-.na are responding energetically to Gov. Morton's call for one hundred days volunteers. Down this way the people can't see it, and naturally conclude that those paid penny aliners are woiully given to Iyiug. New Albany Ledger.

We are reliably informed that Mrton positively promised field appointment to two gentlemen in this city , who were the most active of all recruiting officer m enlisting men for these regiments. The lligiant violation of these promise, however, i characteristic of Morton. We will have more to say on this sub ject hereafter. Spencer Coiwty.

Ax Abolition- Kmtor. Corxlred A lady of Terre Haute offered to take the charge of the editorial department of the Terre Haute Kxpress, if it editor would join the one hundred days service. The gallant fellow declines. He urges it to be the duty of other to go, but he can't see it in his own case. He should never say war again, aller such a btck down He gives as a reason, that he is not empowered to employ nn editress, and lie then offers to the ladies w ho are anxious to voluuteer to fill the places of the men who engage in the hundred days service, the fol'o ving advice: In the meantime, we beg leave to suggest to the lady, and those iike her, if there are any such, that they repair at once to some hospital and act th put thtt so many of their sex are acting at this lime, in caring for the sick soldiers.

Reports received at Castle Garden, from all parts of Europe, indicate 230, 000 a nut tar frum the number that mav be looked tor at this ort, this vear. If this 1 "true, 1S54 will be the second most remarkable vear for Calibration in the annals of our historv. Net only viila.ies. but whole counties in Ireland and England, will be emptied of their able bodied industrious populations. Within the last two months the excitement on the subject has been intensified bv the arrival of scores of agents in Ireland and Ln-land from this countrv, sent out ti cn-ae fact ry hands farmer?, mechanic, and Laborers of every description at prices which must be irresistibly temj.tin- to the poorlv-reuuired peasants and drud-es of the old countrv. The disserainanon of pamphlet and circulars, and the publication of artn lea f10m American newsraper bv Irish journals fri,ndlv to this countrv, have alo swelled the tid,. Such is the unprecedented demand for pasaafres to this country for the next two month, that we understand 'that the packet lme here are aellin- no tickets for the hither vovae to be ued before the IstofJulv next. It is pleasant to be able to state that the das of emigrants who are coming out are very superior, the majority of them bcinr mall farmer -or mecnanica, wa0 brwjr property with them, and arc industrious, oW "people.-A". l .

The .Maryland F.lecllan. From tte FreUerkk Md.) CHiin, of Aprd 12. n e stated last week tint in spite of all the fraudulent voting in Iialtimore, and in the counties, that the rote for a Convention wa less than one third of the whole vote of the State. No man of sens will doubt that the number of legal voters in the State is. bv everal thousand larger now than it was in IrGo, when 92,l00 were polieJ. According to the proclamation of Governor Bradford, announcing the result of the election, 31,593 votes were cast for a convention. 19.514 against a convention, and 19? blanks. So 31,593 votes, less than one-third of the whole vote of the Sute, have elected sixty one dele gates, who. in the arrogance of power inspired by Federal bayonets, will undertake to assemble in convention, at the people's expene, and change the organic law in iL mot vital features, in direct opposition to the well-known sentiments of an overwhelming majority of the people of the State Thee men roust anticipate the es tablishment of a permanent military despotism, and the abolition of free repres?ntative government, or they could not so wantonly outrage the pubaic opinion of the State. Do they suppose that if free government is saved from the wreck of the Union, that they will not be remembered, a long a they live by 'he plundered and disfranchised freemen of Maryland? If free govern merit remains, there will te an herealter of infamy for tliem, from which they can escape oulv bv a disgraceful oblivion.
