This wm tbt p'rit of Goernor Moetox'i pexh at 11onic Hall Ut Friday night.

Their leaden might jmt as well un Jet stand that at once. For three yer the Governor his been reiterat log fimilar charge, but with all the power and induence at Iii cotnmtti 1 he has been unable to substantiate thcai. In oma neighborhoods there .mty hire been outbreaks, but in every inunce ! they hare been traceJ to gro-ti outrage upon personal rights, or to culliiou liable to occur at aae time arnl which h:tl no connection with the troubles of the country. We noticed in the Jourinl of yeterdiy, ft report from Col. Stkkicht aJdrened to Governor Mceto.x, upon what he terras the "Clay county disturbance " Accepting his own .utement, it appears to hit been hi purpose to bate brought on an armetl collision to have inaugurated civil war. He was there in no official capacity, but aumin that an aemblte of men had conjjre'ated for whit he cull "treasonable purposes," he ordered two comj.aie of the Indiana Legion netr Urmil) toarmblc an oo.i a pos sible. Whtt for? The Colonel ait, to pive "the treton ble. armed mob, an opportunity to teat the inccritT of their declarations bv pivinj; them battle without delay." This "armed mob," as Col. Streicht calls them, haJ done no hsrm to any one. and hd committe! no outrage whnt ever, unless perhpi it was to give expreiou to the opinion tht they had no confidence in the wisdom or horieiy of the men in pocr Thi i whtt the Colonel coustrue into the exprc.inti of the "most bitter contempt mii Im-ulitr towarj the State and national mjtlioritie." If that be crime Governor Morto will have to punish large portion of hi own p.trty, for the niot hitter denunciations and expression of contempt of the State and national authorities come from leadirg Republicans all over the country. Hut CoUnel Strek.ht could find no one to "give battle" with his armed legion His enemy, before he got his army in line of battle, hid di-persed as he iuys, "in few momenta had II left." If there wan ny uch gathering as Col. Streicht describes, or ati assemblage of any kind, we can only say those composing it displayed excellent sense by not giving him the opportunity to mtke trouble, as w4s cleirly his intent. There is a moral in this afftir to which we direct attention. There is no doubt hut the men in power would like to bring in a collision so as to give them an apology for intuguratin civil war. A difficulty f that kind would be a God-send to them. And the more desperate their political fortune become, the greater will be their effort to force a collision. In this, however, they will fail. The good pense of the people will prevent any auch lue. The conservative party will rely upon the agencies provided by the Constitution to place the Government under a different Administration. They will insist upon .1 free and honest ballot, and to thit verdict, and to that only, will they submit. If they are cheated out of th it hy either fraud or force, then, and not till then, will be the time to seek the remrdy to which an oppressed people have the right to resort. The? War .Xrwi. There can be no doubt tint General Grant hss ordered a forward movement both in Vir gtnia and in the Souih.ei. A collision between the contending forces cannot long be avoided, and perhps while we are wiiting stn- , .oinary. if not decisive, battles ure being fought. The public are not advied of the comparative strength of the opposing armies, but the Federal authorities will be criminally culpible if they hate not concentrated vastly superior forces with which to meet the imminently impending 'i'u'gle. Mr. Cnasi remit Led a short time ago ili-tt the financial condition of the country de. Pfiided eniirely upon military success, or, in oilier words, that a decided reverse to the Federal arms would cause a sweeping financial rerulslm We may safely add that the future condition of the country in every lespect will turn upon the military operations soon to be, if not already, inaugurated. If the rebel armies can maintain their ground, or if they meet with u t decisive iefeats. the recognition of the Southern Confederacy and foreign inter entiou will soon be a new chapter in the history of ;he war. We notice that the retn'l papers look or ward to the camoiigns of this year as in all robabilitv determining the contest This view f the situation seems to be well founded. The i ebellion never presented a bolder or more defi 1 nt front that now, and from the beginning it has tot been more hopeful of success. The result j f the movements now transpiring will therefore j looked tor with intense interest by the ho!e country, and it is useless t o speculate upon he probable results, for a few days will deter- ; nine them.

How on will the people submit to be overreached by the arts and bt:er-e of cunning;, avaricious and unscrupulous New Eni:! ltd politicians? There is but little hope for a change as long as the present weak and selfish dynaty are continued in power. '"lie? Presidency. The further we advance the clearer appears the jMMilicul sitution with regard to our future President. As we foresaw, a new nationnl putv and a new nation are being built u;ou the ruins of the old parties on the staunch foundations of absolute liberty without distinction of race and national digtiity. Wr Democrats and radical Republicans are corning together on this neutral ground where all meij. without re.-pect to prty, who have the good of the people mid our national greatness at heart, can meet in harmony, au J jrrasp ejcj, other by the hand. The Republicans were the first who had the honor t.f r.iisii: the cry of em ancipation, which is now sweeping the last vestige ot b.trbarism from the soil of America. The Democrat have nlwa)a upheld the nation' dignity; in supporting nt this d iy the doctrine inaugurated by their anccsiors under Monroe, they ure merely carrying out the traditions of their.narty; and by accepting the abolition of si ivory, tardily though it be, they prove that they are still worthy to march at the head of the nation, and to lead it in the path of progress. The Democracy are perfectly well aware that civilization can no more be arrested in the march of progress than the current of a stream can be driven back to its source. The elections in N'ew H- mpshire and Connecticut demonstrated that the people were no longer with them, and that if they remained bound about with the swuthes of slavery they would ri.k remaining a 4 isolated and as dead as the mummies of old Egypt. Aside from their pro-slavery tendency, an error proceeding from the party or of its leaders, the Democrats certainly comprise the most intelligent und the most American portion of America. Thev have perceived that were they to enter the arena :is old line Democrats, with McClellan at their head, they would stand no chance of nuccess, und would deprive thetn selves of all ptrticination in public affairs for another term of four years. 1 he most intelligent men of the Democratic party seem to favor a direct appeal to the people. "which we have urged from the outset, and to be willing to adopt a oopul ir designation, one that is uncorupromNed and doubly significant of liberty and national dignity. For our part we can but rejoice to ob serve this tendency, for a party based upon su h mihtv foundations would not only bring the war to 11 end. but it would certainly count upou having a century of power and prosperity. But in politics, as in other atl'iirs." certain gu trainees are requisite We ask but one, and this one e lay special sticks upon It is, that those Democrats who are sincerely determined to cut loose from slavery should support the amend ment to the Constitution, for this is the sole means of carrying the whole party with them without res- rvation or chance of "return The venom lies with the reptile Let us hare no promises to be fulfilled far away in the future, and no speech making; but let them net.

Halleck. all disbelieve the fact that the rebels haTe any i lea of invading the North on a large scale dur in the pre-ent yer. They predicate this dis belief rn the alleged fact that such an invas on is irnpiible on account of want of men to undertake it, owing to the supposed circumstarce th tt 0 manv Confederate troops will be require ! at the South for the defense of important cUies. and for defensive warfare at point in the South nd Southwest This is a grave mistake on the part of the Administration. If the important strategic points at the bou'h and thechiet southern ciiies were in the same defenceless condition now that they were two years ago. it might indeed be nece-sary lor the rebels to keep the bulk of their forces there for their defense Hut soch is not the cae. In their prepsratiotis for defence, during the whole war, the rebel-have acted ns if their opts. tents were led by Napoleon and Wellingtons, and as if their operations were directed bv the uv-st sagacious statesmanship. During thetwover that the Administration has waited in its over-! lnd campaigns airainst Richmond, and in its at tempts to take Charleston, they have fortified their chief cities and strategic points to an extent of whi'-h we have no conception ut the North, and which we can never realize until we attack them iu earnest. Then we shall find wht a people who are in earnest can do in two years time. DETEMSES Or MOBILE. My information iu regard to the defenses of Mobile is not precise enough to enable me to describe them in detail They are similar, however, to those in the Charleston hirbor. The little inipre-sion that euch an experienced old war dog as Admiral Farragut, with the trcmen dous naval lorce under his command, has been able to make upon them, after so many days bombardment, indicates that we shall find Mo bile a hard nut Ut crack. Its defense on the' Muu side are extensive und formidable. DrFKNSKS OK SAVANNAH. In M arch of lijO.'J, the defenses of Savannah. both on the river and the land side, were sup-1 poed to be adequate to protect the place from i any aua'-K mal count oe mane on it. A gentleman who left that city at that time, gave me a drawing of the works at that time completed, and additional works have been erected. Some idea of the iabor expended on these works, may be had from the fact that more than one thousand five hundred negroes have been almost coiutantlv employed on them ever since January of 1 c C3 . The work is superintended by the engineer nth.. : cers of the rebel army. General Beauregard, ! while he was at Charleston, came to Savannah, regularly once a month, and made a cmelul and critical examination of the work as it progressed. There are three principal toads leading to Sivannah, from the north and we-t; ami m the approaches fo these toads as well as to the rail roads leading to the city, are commanded by j large und well built forts. These works consti- ' fute a part of the chain of works whi'-h was marked out by General Beauregard when he first a-sumed command at Charleston and Savannah in Septe i ber of 1?C2 The fort on the hill near lliO oa j ar Aflr iirtpt h mi a . a n f tUA pleted in D camiber last , but its armament was! imt mounted t'bl about a month ago. The forts ! around the city are well supplied with guna, and j the artillerists Hre we;l trained. I The obstructions 01 the Savannah river are! from two to three mile-, below th city, und between the head of Klba Island and Fort Jackson. They consist of large woden cribs, twenty feet square, filled with stones and sunk, and of rows of spiles driven into the bed of the stream and eatendins entirely across the river. All these obstructions are covered bv the guns of Fort Jackson and the gutw of several large earth-' works, with casemateit batteries on shore. It is possible that they might be removed, but it would require a long time and a vast amount of labor, and probably no troops in the world could stand such a lire as would be conceutrtted on them during the operation. The iron clad steamer Georgia, which form part of the defenses of! Savannah, was alluded to in my last letter. She has seven available guns on board, said to be equal to any in the Confederate navy; a full crew, and is commanded by regular officers of the navy. The crew are kept perfect in heir gun practice, as indeed are the artillerists at all the forts. Dirr.NSFs or Wilmington.

TATK ITIl.nS. .VI on roe Count- Opening ' t,,e Cam Uloomington, Ind., May 4, IcW Ed. Sintinil: The political campaign for the present year was opened moat .auspiciously in Monree county vesterday, when the Hon. Jos E. McDonald addressei a large and intelligent meeting of tht Democracy at the Court Houe. The intelligent administration men of this county have been accustomed to charge that tne bulwark of the Democracy was the iguorance of toe Democratic masses. After the meeting on yesterday, the unblushing effrontery of partisans who tieek to monopolize all the patriotism, intelligence, wealth and cEL-es, of the country, would scarcely iu-aat on the superiority of the diminutive crod who have of late attended the Republican protracted meetin;,in either knowledge or good sense. It would do iriustice to the speech and the speaker to give a tirief statement of it, and we have not time to give a full report. The speech was a clear logical review of the suici'lal policy of the men who have controlled the State and national governments in the civil and military administration ot public affairs, which has had little other effect than to divide a uttited North, and to unite the divided sentiments of the people of the rebel Sta'es in a vindicative and bilttr hostility against the Federal government. Mr. McDonald adJressed himself to his hearers by no inil tRimatory apoeals to the baser p istions ot a crowd; but by a calm, reasonable view of the present situation of public affairs, he sent men away from the C. urt liou.-e to retiect iu earnest whether the times do uot demand a thor ough change iu the policy and iu the men ruling the country. Mr. McDonald is too well known, however, throughout the State, that we should mnke a lengthy comment ujhjii the m inner in which his fpeech was received. Lie is a grv it favorite with the Democracy here. With Joe McDonald's name at the head of our Sttte ticket this. fall, and his triumph int election as the successor of the prent political humbug for whose "fantastic tricks" the heavily pressed tax payers of Indiana will belore many months be called upon to pay 1 ro tit their hard earnings we will once- more uher iu the halcvoti days when honest men were safe in their property and liberty in Indiana, aud Governors respected the laws. The Republican party of this county can accept the spirit of the meeting yesterday as an evidence of how the campaign wjlj be conducts!, here at least, br the Democratic party. If extierre partisan rancor embitters the -trifu if viylehcVaud mob law are resorted to. to restrain people from considering public crimes if blood shall be sri!t to intimidate men Irom asking to exercise their rights at the tuilot Imh the consequences be on the heads of the reckless leaders v. ho, for a little longer leisc of power, stir up lends in which p -liiicl associates ust equally suffer with politi cal opponents We only claim the lights of American citizens free speech, a free press, and a free and uninterrupted election. We have begun the canvass by exhibiting moderation, and nothing but violence and wrong w ill change our conduct. Under all circumstances, w will accord the respect due the law and its otfk-ers. Salt.
