WEEKLY SENTINEL

rCaME'DAY APRIL 21, ll Kentucky. The bonkers and capitalists of Louisville have greed to advance Gov. Maooftiv one-half a lulioo of dollar for military purposes, provided portion of Kentucky shall be that of armed Jutrality The proposed call for a meeting of .it Legislature ha beta deferred. Port Pieken. dispatch to the New York Herald, from few Orleans, dated the l?th. states that the nilitary $tattu at Penaseola remaiued unchanged, nd that Gen.

The army Register for 1H61, gives the follow iag abstract of the militia force of the country : orthni free State. - 1.33.81 'onfederate Stats at tba South 3T8,6n2 ... 04,724 11,0 Total militia of the coaatry 3,313,244 Such was the disposition of the militia force arollsd for er rice at the latest returns ; but as rtany of these returns date back seTeml years go in some eases as remote as 1838 and 1837 nd as no returns at all hare been made from everal of the new States and Territories such i Iowa, Kansas , Washington Tarritury, Nebrasta and New Mexico a large per centage must added to this aggregate, which would probably ring the whole number of enrolled militia in the country up to over three millions and a half of men at the present time, ef whom nearly two .ad a half millions belong to the free States of the North. A Free Press. The Washington State forcibly remarks that a tree press is the foundation of all freedom. It is is inspiration, as well as the resource, of true berty. It is at once the shield and the sunshine f popular thought; flinging off the poisoned irrows of despotism, and making free and lastic, with genial warmth, the social and olitical currents of the community. It is the oundatiou-stone and bell tower the very butitss and flag-staff of a free fabric. To meddle with a free press shows not so much .norance ou the part of the meddler. as trucutint fear and willful error. ' None hut blatant wards will prevent the free expression of pinion; ami those who would put down or corcea newspaper, proclaim to the world that they car its power or its truth. The Position of the Border states. The call made by the President upon the States or seventy five thousand men, has met with a rompt and vigorous response. Several of the states have already notified the War Department i nt the quota of men required of them are . andy, and already a large number of them are ' a their way to Washington. To morrow, more I urn one thousand men will leave this city for : .at destination. If we are to have war, it should . i energetically prosecuted. A vigorous policy hali the battle. The South is not idle either. The same engy which characterizes the Government at ' asalington . finds its counterpart in that of Mont mery. There appears to be no lack of confi:::ce cn the part ot the people of the Confedere States iu their ability to maintain their porion, and Mr. Stuphess is represented to have - rd that seventy five times 75,000 men could not timidate them. We admire this American uck. It is the spirit which animated the ineu .' 76. and however much the most ultra men of e North may condemn the action of the people the South, they cannot but respect the spirit the descendants of a common ancestry. It -)ves that no cowardly blood flows in American Tins when occasion calls for the exercise of course and heroism. A nation like ours may be de itsd, but ifj.cr coroner ' ." :t may be cast wn, but uever destroyed. We would not Uuibate or degrade the men of Virginia, whose efathers gave to the north-west an empire, a empire, nor the descendants of the Keniat kis, who gallantly protected and defended our in' at Meiin!Ub ou many a battle field, and where iw Hth m lioues as metuentoesof their heroism sj fraternal affection. Can the people of the rth-west now raise their hands in fraternal strife rainst Virginia and Kentucky? Shall the mem y of what they have done for us be forgotten n it be erased from our memories and hearts? eaven forbid the ingratitude! Let us not real evil for good. Let us rather concede to em all that they may require for the security of eir institutions, and all, nay even more than rights they claim under a common constituib and government. The border States have not yet seceded. They a not desert the more Southern States with torn they are identified by the ties of both iu--et and consanguinity. Against the influence ;' such sentiments they have struggled for the .tsgrity of the Union. If the Confederate ates have been precipitate, say even wrong in err action, can it be expected that parents will i sert their children ? All we know is that Vir inia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee and lissouri have refused to respond to the call of e President for militia to aid in subduing the -Jonfederate States. Masterly inactivity may be heir policy. The President's proclamation sets forth the mployment of the militia called out as follows : The first service assigned to the forces hereby ailed forth will be to repossess the forts, place id property which have been seized from the "nion." If the border States do not secede the rces will be sent to retake the forts, places and operty seized from the government in the Con derate States. Charleston, Savannah, Pensao , New Orleans and the entire coast of the South n Confederacy will be the sent of war. The effort ill be to blockade all the Southern ports, cripe, if not entirely destroy commerce and thus entree the return of those State to their allegiance ( the Federal Government. The North have ne navy, the men and the money to prosecute lie war with vigor and probably with success. If eft alone it will be in the power of the North to at off their trade entirely, which would result in tnkruptcy and ruin, while the Northern States ft free would feel but liuleif any inconvenience om the struggle. These results are based upon is calculation that the border States take no part the controversy, except to preserve the in grity of their soil from either Northern or outhern armies. On the other hand the Conderate States will have the advantage of being is invaded territory, with an inhospitable imate The latter will cut off more men than it sword. Left alone, the Gulf Sutes will find I an unequal strife; but if the border Sutes unite ieir destiny with the Southern Confederacy, the ssolution of the Union may be regare 1 i inevitable A fearful responsibility rests upon ie action of Virginia, both to the North id to the South. Secession on her part ill carrv wirb bar nAnrlv 11 nt Ma rlr.n,i nrtk j .. j , arolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri he balances of the Union tremble upon her desion. If she goes out, upon her soil will com.nance the struggle, the intercinine strife, as itloody and revengeful as ever darkened the pages f history. The government which has chalnged the admiration of the world, and which ist conferred more personal liberty and happiness 'tan has been ever enjoyed in any other , will be .inverted into two or more military dopotisms, ad, instead of peace and prosperity, we shal are contention and adversity. And what necessity for this strife? Party spirit ill hare precipitated R. A little concession little compromise upon abstractions mostlyparty dogmas would have prevented struggle which now threatens to delgt the Und with blood. We can only hope that hen the forces of the North and South are eon.regated, the leading men may pause in the madless which now impels them, and consider the :opasquencas of the conflict. As against the roif Sutes ths North must eventually triumph, at against an united South can the North expect ) oonqtar? Tbt position of the border slave Wmm will determine tbt issue.

The Newt.

The absence of telegrapliic information from : Washington and the South in reference -o the movements of the two governments cieates a dis agreeable suspense in the public Bind. The wires were cut yesterday south of Philadelphia, and the railway bridges Let ween Baltimore and: Havre de Orace were destroyed or rendered u. a less. Governor Hicks, of Maryland, requested the President to send no mere troo;w by way of Baltimore, and the President responded he would not, if they were permitted to go a round that city unmolested. We regard this concession an act of weakness on the part of the government. If the President cvnnot keep the communication open from the Capital northward, as Col. Hxnsv S. Lank suggested some eir ago. the se it of the Federal Government had better be removed to frte soil. There seems to be a good deal of coi -fusion at Washington. No definite policy is developed as to the intentions of the Administratiou. At this point the volunteer lures called for by the Government is rapidly concentrating, but the disposition to be made of them is unknown. The tfoons in the Eastern States are advancing towards Washington, for the protection of the Capital, for which purpose an ample force will soon be concentrated tbeie. The opinion prevails that an attempt will be made by the Confeuerntos to obtain po .-session o the sett of Oovenmieut. The movements :.. Virginia and Maryland favor this proposition, but we doubt whether a Southern army sufficiently stror.:: t' eR'e -t this object tan be eon cSMiratcd at Washington lefore the reinforcements will arrive there from the North. Beyond these rumors the movements of President Dav.s are unknown. His plan of operations will of course not be disclosed to the Federal Govern ment. He will undoubtedly strengthen all points of attack and may act strictly on the defensive, seeking only to maintain the integrity of ti e Southern Confederacy and carrying out the .-en-ment which it has adopted of "let us alone." In this case the Administration, if it carries out the poller sugge.-ted in the President's proclamation, will have to be the assailing party in the effort to recover the forts, arsenals, and other public property stvzed upon by the Confederates. To protect the capital, recover the Government property and emb lift the Southern coast will require all the naval force of the Governmci.t and three times the number of meu i o Calle! into service. The Government will require an overw helmini: force to crush out the revolution in the Southern State, if it can succeed at all iu enf roing the:, allegiance. There is no bof of success, but in a comprehensive and vigorous polier, but we doubt whether the present Administration will be equal to the emergency. All the aid it has asked for, and even more, has been promptly rendered by all the Northern State. With remarkable unanimity the people of the North have rallied to the support of the Government iu its present crisis. The telegraph reports a monster Union meeting iu New York city, in which members of all political parties took part. While ibtrt is a general determination expressei to vindicate and mdntain the honor of the flag and if possible the iuteciity of the Union by force if need be, there underlies alia powerful sentimeat in favor of employing peaceable agencies to secure the results that it is hoped war will accomplish. It may be that blood will have to flow freely similar scenes of carnage which attended the conflicts between the opposing forces of France and Sardinia ami Austria will have to be gone through with, before our national difficulties can be settled. Then, perhaps, as did Lous Napolkox and Fbaxcis .'-; in. J Err. Davis and Abraham Likcolx, may agree upon terms of peace. The quicker the contest is settled the better for the country, and whatever policy is to accomplish it the more vigorous it is, the sooner the end will he reached. A lasting peace mtv be best arrived at by an exhibition of national energy, courage, skill and valor. Ws sincerely hope that the Administration may have a policy, and that it may neither blunder or halt, for the government of the Confederate State have ability, skill, courage and resources that will m ike them wwerful foes. The HWrror of Civil AVar Cannot Pence he Preferred ! Amidst the whirlpool of sectional excitement, and the gathering of armies in battle array, there are many who, impressed with the truth that " peice hath her victories no less renowned than war," are earnestly calling upon their countrymen to prevent, if possible, the terrible career of bloodshed anil desolation upon which we are hurricdly rushiug. The administration, assuredly, should ponder, before it precipitates the country into u long and bloody civil war. The following remark. of the Neu Vurk Express on the subject, are worthv of calni consideration : The magnitude of civil war in a great and powerful country, between well organized St ite., is now beginning to be understood but only beginning. The cost of such a war, both to the North and South, is not half comprehended The loss of life is but partially imagined. The exhaustion which will follow when peace comes, as come it must, to leave us a prev to the r.inacitv and cuot fcuropem monarchies, is scar e. drenned of. Hie call for volunteers here, the drilling ot men in arms, and the mirehiiiL' of them from their home to Washington, will, in a few days be felt the separation oi husband and wife, of brother and sister, of parent and child, to be demoralized in camp, if not stricken ilowu by disease, will soon be known and felt. Anv aar is ruinous to morals und mind, but civil war is utter demoralization. To cry Ibr "Peice," "Peace," amid the elan eor of arm, we tie well aware, is but the vo ce of one crying in the wilderness; but the voice must Kioiicr or later be heard, and le heeded, and trhy no! now? In this age of civilization and of Christianity, can there be M .-a -pension of liostil ities, and no reference to arbitrament ofourgreat dispute? We venture to say, if the Northern .eople couid be consulted, three out of five would .-ay: -Part with Ute Cotton States in peace: no war " Many of the Republican leaders, among them the Tribune at the .-tart, were for peaceful separation, auu why they hart been driven from their position no ntioasl reason ka been au en. It is necesiry now, perhaps, to .-tend $f)0,ÜÜ0.0IM), and to bring two or three hundred thou sand men under arm, but it is uot ueressary, even when these strong forces are arrayed, to tight. The array of men in Washington, (we hope to see enough ot' them there to preserve the peice.) we look upon now but as peueml precaution. We have already said, only thousands and thousands of men in arms in and about Fort Pickens, if that position is to be m untamed, mav, by the very strength of their number, keep the peace. Sincethe administration has started upon its war career, we approve of its reported call for two or three hundred thousand men. We csn raise as large an army as France, or Austria, and i or eight hundred thousand men in camp, under prudent leidest, mijjit he but a police to keep the peice. When the Harth mid the South have become vast camps, the people : both sections will begin to reason, there it nothing worth fighting about, or if there is, fighting will not settle, anv thing Neither section is'lik-U to be conquered or overrun, or if overrun, neither would be worth having when subjugated. 1 he very genius ot our Republic revolts ngaiut a nb yrtt people. To have subject, we must hive a military nobility, and with a militarv. const a civil nobility, and with a nobility, come. a destruction of a Republic. The suspension of all intercourse bv mail be tween the North and the South, bad as it i- the I suspension of all trade and commerce, and of all :,.i,. ,u I r l:. .1 . iutoviuuvj ium ui vicaii muu oi currciK V, the general bankruptcy of both secuuus and both are coming maybe necessary to tdnoat us to peace; out peace is worth the tembic edu cation. Blighted trade can be recovered from, but from civil war between tree Sutes aud slaveholding States, there is no recovery. Meanwhile, the Christian ministry, a part of wnom nave uone much to bring on the war by mingling in the sectional strife of the day, owe it to God, to the countrv, to itself, to avert this war The Republican ministry, w hich has done so much to create a sectional party, owe it to themselves and to humanity, to try to part the sections in peace. Ii we can apree iu nothing else, we can agree with christian Republicans not to tugngeiu war. They can step in, as ministers of God, 'and turn the sword away from the hearts of men. once brethren of the same kith, kin, origin, language, ancestry. Let bygones then be bygones, and let the New Kurland religious influence, which is so power ful over the New England Republican mind, everywhere in the north-west, ns well as the east, then exert their power to shield the couutry from a long and awful war.

tide r which Companies are .TIutcred. The authority of the Preident for calling out the militia, and the time of service, and the con- ! ditions under which tho troops are mustered, may be ascertained in the second and fourth sections of the act of Congress of February 28, 17"5. The secoud section reads : That whenever the law of the United States j

shah be oppo?ed or the execution thereof be obstructed in any State, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshals by this act, it shall be lawful for the Piesident of the United States to call forth the military, of such State, or of any other State or State," as may be necessary to suppress such coin binations. and to cause the laws to be duly executed; and the use of the militia to be called forth may be continued, if necessary, until the expimtioli of thirty days utter the commencement of the next session of Congress. The fourth section of the stnie act providethat the militia, wheu called out, shall be under the same discipline as the army of the United States, and they shall not be compelled to serve more than three consecutive months iu any one year, after urrival at the place where they are ordered to rendezvous. Letter from Uajoi- Dan .Tic C lure. The following letter from Major McCunt ad dressed to H. H. Doid, Esq., of this city, rel'utes lbs vile I. indere ot' the Journal upon that gentleman. It will be seen that Major ItcCurtt it a decided Union man, and only yielded his ofJee to 'he overpowering force of the revolutionists: Sax Asthmo, Texas, Marc'a JO, 1SC1. Dlar Fuiend: At the time I received your letter we were in the midst of un unprecedented excitement which culminated recently iu the revolution here, about which you have doubtless read much in the newspapers. All the posts ou the frontier are already abandoned and the troops are nor rn route for the place of embarkation. I do not know the elfects of the revolution in Indiana, but I do know that here it has been a terrible thing, and will cause much suffering among the pe .pie of the frontier settlements, who by the by, are neirly all Uniou poplo. The effects, are not so bad iu the planting districts, and will not be feit mucii if this ye n- brings forth good crop3, for w hich there is at this time a fail prospect. You have seen iu the tape;.', I suppose, full accounts of the surrender of the military posts and leoeral property iu this State by the orders of the late Gen. Twigg. an 1 alsx the comments oi the pres generally upon his conduct. I was witness to the whole affdr.but having no voice iu the matter of course had no part, so I am iu no wise responsible for what was done, whether history will record it as creditable or disci editable I rtfu-ed , so far as my office was concerned, to yield any obedience lo the term, and for my 0S stin icy was tiuaiiy turned out of my office, w hich together with my safe was taken possession of by armed body of men. At the same time ur. f unctions w ere declared to be suspended by the individual acting for the State. I yielded to the power of the revolutionists to tike possession of the office and sale, but up to the present time I have maintained my right to exercise tbt tunc lion of Paymaster irom my pocket and through such me ins as I can cointn md under the circa inst, nces. 1 can not close this letter w ithout saying to you that no matter in what direction my political feelings may tend to lead me, in this crisis of our country's trouble I stand by the Union the stars and ttrfptt. That deir old flag never seemed half so dear to me as when 1 saw it hauled down amid the StttH and jeers of those who but so lately felt proud and secure beneath its ample fold at home and abroad. Many a brave man turned aside and w ipe I a teir from his e;.con the day the American flag was lowered here. I a ill! I a a I Tartamipolli in June. I am ordeiei to Washington ou the withdrawal of the troops from this State. Truly, yoius, D.w. McClire. A Card from ilon.C.L. Va I lundis titttn. Dattos, V Wedneday, April 17. lo the Elitär of the Cincinnati Enpiiier: I have a word for the Republican press and partisans of Cincinnati and others places abroad, who n w daily falsity and misrepresent me and matters which concern me here in Diyton. My position in regard ti this civil war, which the Lincoln administration has inaugurated, wa long since taken, is weil known, and vtill be adhered to to the end Let that be understood. 1 have added nothing to it, subtracted nothing from it, said nothing about it publicly, since the war began. I know well that 1 am right, and tnat in a little while "the sober second thought of the people" will dissipate the pre-ent sudden and fleeting madness, and will demand to know w hy thirty millions of people are butchering cich other in civil war, and will anet it speedily. But. meantime, should my own State be invade I. or threatened with invasion, as soon a it nny be, then, as a loyal native born son of Ohio. Acknowl e iging my first allegiance to be to her, I w ill aid in deiending her to the last extremity, askiaa no questions. Whoever shall refuse then, or hesi täte, will be a traitor and a dastard. And this pame rule I apply as well to the people of Virgin! i, Kentucky or Missouri, as to any of the free States, north or west As to myself : no threats have been made to me personally; none within my heirisg; no violence offered; no mob anywhere; none will be; nobody afraid of any, and every statt meat or '.amor ;ti regard to me circulated orally, or published in the Republican press, is biseiy idle and false. And now let me add, for the benefit of the cowardly .-l.mderers of Cincinnati or elsewhere who libel me daily, that if titey have any business with me. I can be found every day and at anytime, either at home or on the north we-t corner o;' First and Ludlow, or u;o i the streets of D ij tOU. C. L. VALLA.NniUUAM. L,ct ns have .vioa i inrnt for Peace. If the telegraphic intelligence represents the popular sentiment, the war spirit is rampuit among all classes and condition. The people of the two !-ect;oiis. individually and collectively, appaieiitly stand ready and anxiously waiting for the signal to tush at each others' throats and tear e ich other into piece. It might be sup jtosed by a strauber fron) some oilier sphere, if such a stranger should drop down uhui us. that the people of the North and S mth were heredi levy eiiem'es whose taatj jtent hatred had broken out into fury, and that a war of extermination of one people or the other hud fairly opened; and his impressions would be confirmed when he should turn to the governments at Washington and Montgomery, who e preparations for war are of a migii.tudc hitherto unknow n on this continent. The popular war spirit, if it re illy exists, will not long remain at its pree;it height. It is itnptatMa thai it should. We do not believe it prevails to the extent represented. Hut if it does thus prevail, tiic re tction is all the more certain. What hive the people of the two sec tions to fight about Why should they cut each others' throats ''. Why should they rush to arm-, lay w aste e ich others' fields, burn each others' cities and town, and ieive eich others' boatt t ble.ich on desolated plain t When and howhave the ptopLt of the S uth injured ibttf af the North, or those of the North those of the South t Never, iu any tn inner. It is the politician who have done whatever wrongs one or the other section has suffered, and it is they w ho Inn c brought the two section- into hostile array, and are to d iv stimulating the spirit oi" carnage by every posiiml appliance. We hive said that we do not btfiavt tbt.frar spirit prevails to the extent rcpie-enied. We know it data not in this city. We know that in this city there is a mighty undercurrent for uracr: and what is trite hc'.e i true erervw here, cartainly in tiie NorTh, and no doubt in the South. This spirit 80 peice will grow iu strength from diyto day; and will it not, pretty soon, assert its power? Will it not rie up, superior in m ijesty and authority to the spirit of warY Will it not make ite'.f heard and felt at Washington and Montgomery This is the only hope for the country There is no hope for the ountry in war. War is dissolution, irrevocable, and it is the utter" prostration of itoth sections. Its woes are numberless. The woes of an war are numberless, but this ia a civil war. whose woes are woe intensified. We have h id and are having w ir meetings. Lei us have peace meetings, nnd the first one may just as well be held right here in Detroit as anywhere e'se Let us have peace meetings, and let them demand that the national ditr.cultie shall be settled in accordance with the ctvilixition of this age, and not in accordance with the b irbarism of the dark av'es. Let them demand that the people of the North and tue South brethren and kindred sh ill not be transforme I into wild heists and set upon eich other. The popular voice is yet potential. It can yet command peace. 1 1 can arret this war, in which, if not arrested, one hundred and fifty thousand men will be engaged withiu a few weeks as the pioneer armies of the two sections, soon to fie struck down and replaced by other hundreds of thou -ands, who in their turn will populate the omb. The popular voice is yet potential. Will it not arret this cruel, Moody a fratricidal war? Detroit Free Prent, The AUU Oath. The following is the oath which all volunteers and regulars mustered into the service of the United States are required to lake before their final enrollment: " I , do solemnly swear that I will heir true allegiance to the United States of America; that 1 will serve them honestly and faithfully against all enemies or opposers whatsoever; that I will obey the orders of the President of the United State and of the officers ap pointed over me. according to the ru'e of the armies of the United Swtes, so help n-e Gcd "
