WEEKLY SENTINEL.

UF.DMIHD4V. IS! I A Few Wordi about Hob ami tnelr TreatMcntt The-Cineinnati Prmt aaya that the circumstancecofthe recent affrays at RaJtimore nd St Louis suggest some reflections to the manner in which nobs should be treated. It makes but little difference whether the nu-b rises to attack the authority, or the authority is i ailed out u qeetl the mob ; in either case, it is Iii duty of the authority to raoceed immediately t iiiwui the unlawful demonstration, snd to cease itoenVirts nntil that end is accomplished. Soldiers with arms in their hands, when attacked by mobs, should fight not run. It is for the time being, war ; and, just aa in any other war, the object should be to conner the enemy as rapidly ami aa effectually as possible. In such eases, forbearance is cruelty. Nap -iexn Bonaparte knew better than any other mm of hi day how to quell a mob. His surgery was sharp, but it was hört and effectual. The mob spirit grows rapidly by impunity : there should, therefore, be no compromising with for cible lawlessness. The forbesrance with which mobs have been treated in this country render them sulgects of uriositv Men, women and children rush to the scene to gaze upon the detnoastrations ; and the consequence is that, if any fightinz ensues, the innocent bvst voders, a they are called, come in for their full share of the loss ; and newspapers and people who sympathize with the mob performance, clamor loudly over these accidents, as if they were the effects of a premeditated mm-, derous design on the part of the authorities thereby laying the foundation for further dis orders. A different practice would have rendered a mob a thing to be shunned by all who had no duty to perform for its suppression. The rule for all such is to put themselves out of the way of harm as soon as possible a rule which, if they neglect, they have no right to complain, however severe the treatment they encounter. A spectator is a fool, if impelled by curiosity, he rushes into d.inger on a battle field; and he is bo less so if he does a similar thing at a scene of civic violence. For a body of soldiers to stand and permit themselves to be stoned by a mob is shameful. The first act should be promptly retaliated. There is no other way than to assume that all who are mingled with the mob belong to it. To kill the first man who offends may be the means of saving tue lives of hundreds. There is no more effect ive moral agent titan a sudden ami unexpectel blow. M'ibn are cowardly. Their members do n tt go to the field to be killed, but to do all they can without encountering fatal danger. Convince them that the danger begins with the first unlawful act, ami they will rapidly take on that better part of valor discretion. The officers of soldiers beset by mobs, should consider promptly, and act with decision. They should not throw the responsibili'y upon the troops, but take it themselves. We fail to ad mire the prudence of the Yankee Captain at Baltimore, who used the double negative cri phrasis : ''Boys, I don't ay don't 6re." One -imple word of com ma ml w -.s all that the oeca slon demandei. The woHd accepts the act of the officer as regular a favor which it is relnc tatst to accord to that of the subordinate. It may bo expected that troops of foreign (crm-m or Irish will I.eYne with less discretion when attacked by mobs than those of American irth. In such cases volleys of insulting language having reference to their origin, usually precede the more forcible demonstrations. These are calculated to excite anger and apprehension oth of which are inimical to that coolness which is peculiarly desirable in such cases. They should, therefore, not be judged by the same rule that applied to other. Kolbing is more unfair thai i assume tint, Leciu-e the- ...eol foreign birth. :hey are more rccklesj of the lives of the native rn. In these times the loyalty which we ob terve everywhere in this class of our population is bo v all praise, said every attempt to excite prejudice against tliera by reflections upon their origin should meet with prompt discouragement. I i U o aa. The Mobile-(Alabama) Remitter, edited by ,ioHX Fohsytii, one of the late Southern Com nissioners to Washington, thus speaks of the ex traordinarv demonstration of attachment to the Union which has lately been made in the free States. He says: We remember nothing In the historv of th. country nothing in the various issues and politi cal extravaganzas with which it has been visited from time to time, at all comparable to the Union mania which, on the fail of Fort Sumter, burst forth like a volcanic eruption throughout the ex tent of the Northern States. That event was not yet even preceded by the usual premonition.-, the internal rumbling and trembling which admonish the inhabitants of volcanic countries of an im pending eruption. Our Southern friends would do well to get out tT the way of the overwhelming eruption of Union sentiment, by returning to their allegiance to the Constitution. The addrr f Urn. Harney. The address of Gen. Haktit to the people of St. Louis and Missouri, an abstract of which will te fonnd in the telegraphic column, is bold ami C utspoken. He comes right at the point without concealment or mincing words. The operations of Gen. Frost he pronounces revolutionary in design and the new militia law of the State as a virtual act of secession. Missouri ho states tobe necessary to the Union, and to retain it the whole power of the Government will be emploved, if necessary. While regretting a resort to force to accomplish this object, he expresses the deter mination to do so promptly and efficiently, if the ojcasion demands it. He pays no regard to the restrictions of Constitution and laws, but like a seWier be promises to put down revolution and rebellion, at all hazards. Organization of .lew Kegiments. The War Department has issued a general Order giving the plau of organization for the new regiments of regulars and volunteers to be raised for the war. The regulars will consist of eight regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalrv, aid one regiment of artillery composing n minimum force of I,l4 men, and a maximum force of 42,71 1 men. The volunteers will 39 regiments of infantry, and one regiment of cavalry; with an aggregate force of 42,1)31 men. B;r the plan of organization a considerable proportion of the officers of both the regular and vclunteer regiments will be taken from the tanks. Writcrn Virw nia.

When the present ndniiniftnition came into power, its first duty w as to gather the land forces, recall the distant war v--e.s. and repair thoe at the navy yards.

For weeks that city was cut off from its communication- with the North and West. The policy adopted by Governor Morton in d'stributing the six regiments of St tc troops on the Use of the Wabash, is almost an exact parallel to the policy of Secretaries Floyd and Toucey under Buchanan. The first effort of an invading force in any of the border count cs on the Ohio river would be to cut off all communication with the interior.

We arc glad to observe that s inflnent'a' a Republican p i; er ;u the New York Times pro tests against a chancer being given to the war which doc- not belong to it. "It U a grei' mis take," says the TU, "that the war which is now being initiate), is a war against the Sooth, or against Southern institutions." Am iIii. says that print, "the war on the pari of the people of the North is not against States or the keatltntions of any Stale. It is gain-t treason and in de- j fecse of the best nvcniment in the world. It Mj agr.inst reliellion that would overthrow the freest j institutions of all the .irth: against a revolution that would cheeS the progress of civilization, and throw this grttat country back into half a ' century of retorgression. Wlmt ihwy demand of the seceling States is, no' that they sh ill cliange their domestic institutions, their constitutions, ! the'r policy or their laws, but that they shall re- ' turn to their allegiance to the government. They have no lust ot conquest, ami they i aw no thought of subjugation. When pe it e shall have been conquered, and the seceding States res'orwl to the Union, they will come bick with all their rights unimpaired, their sovereignties ful.y guaranteed, and their domestic institutions as sub.ect to their own conti-ol as are those of New York to-day. Albeit, there may be hanging of indiv dual traitors and the scattering of dema gogues and adventurers who have maddened and betrayed the South into the policy and the crime of rebellion." This is the right doctrine preached from the right quarter. Farmers I (hcorih. On this cla-s of men must the peoj 1c of the !

lolitir . Cavalry. HHtor of Ata dlaU Stn&ud : The article in the Journal of yesterday, under the ab ive vaption, liearing as it tloes, internal evidence of olliclal origin, may require ;i brief notice Its enors may he correctel its falsehoods rebuke ! argument it has not e that should he dignified by :'n answer. The im,'Ut-itioii ' aay this semi official dotuuient."oi' pnrtsswfl Motlvee to the Governs, for first encouraging; the turmatioii of a Cavalry corps, and subsCBTuewtly re. u'n.g to receix e it . is unjust' "The public can eisily see," contimies tbc article, "that if a Cavalry Kegimcnt would be less serviceable to the public defense, than the expense it-would incur, devoted to other anus of the service, the Governor's duty, though be had positively promised to accept it, would require

him to reject it." This needs no comsnent. If this w ere allowed to be a sufficient excuse for calling into existence a regiment of men, keeping them in Mienso for two weeks at a heavy individual expense mid a great loss of time, the remaining lortion of the Journal' article is entirely redundant. But the at tide continues the defense, alleging that although the service may demand a regiment ol Cavalry, the rejection of the regiment offered by nne!faii(l others, would not establish even the appearance of bad faith in the Governor. This rogsauenl, says the Journal, was "accepted sub to any law or legislative regulation that may he passed ," and the law wlu'ch was passed, it continues, "required the Cuvemor, if he intended to bare a Cavairv regiment at all, to organize it oi the jirst ten companies reported to the adjutant." After quoting a section of the act, omitting that part which provides that the six re;-i nicnts shall be divided into "cavalry, artillery, and infantry, by the Governor,' it adds : "Bv reference iO the books of the Adjutant we find t!ie following list of entries, prior to Colonel Walker's: ipt Stewarl f ..t r.r.i k-i C-m Jli nli C;;. wrii.

There were, therefore, HfkA companies, a whole regiment lacking two companies, already enrolled fir caralry service ahead of C.d.

Either the adjutant's look have a Proteun facility of changing to suit parti san ends, or, wh it is equally probable, tlie Journal lias pur;o.seIy m's represented the record. At ie time, Stewart's company stood on record as tovfegtann reported on tl o 2Til iu-'ead of the t2.

Gillespie's company war- teportcl as infantry, accepted us such, and bss beeu for sometime in the service as infantry. 1 IellVcn's company w;-s mpertod by me on the 96th, under hi. directions, as coir.i iai.ded by Lieut. Young, und ou tiie 1st of M .y, the muster roll of the Company w u lilel hi mm as I part of our regiment, alter eight ..liier rolls had been filed by me he having been, in dm BiBsutune, electee captain. Up to this time, Keith's master roll had ii t heci file I. The niustcr-iofl of Owen's company was indorsed by one of his liuttteiiiiiits to being tendemtl as part of our regiment. By t'ie Journal's showing, then, there would remain fiur companies itr-te.-l f eight, as tak:ng piece de., e of cur. It is not certain that Keith's oinp.uiy mil was on file prior to that of our t-utli and lust, ud it is cert dn tlujt two of the re .tilling four companies were tendered only for three months' bci v.ee, under the lirst pioclau; i tli ii of ihc President, and conaequentlr could not take prerwdence ol companies offered for the war, or for any term of tenter. This would leere too companies, according to the J-ntraal'i interpretation, taking precedence of those com prising the regiment. This might hive displaced two c unpenim on our hat. It is diActllt, however, l ascertain what rules prevail at the ullice of the Adjutant General, what construction is placed u;x)ii the law, or to c iinprelien i the manne;- in which bnsmesd is theie transacted. I have known the same i mi peny (inlantry) at diifeient times to occupy three diftiareat places on the Adjutant books, and finally to be pushed neu- the bottom of the list , a'ld a.- a cotie.Ueac. ic ted altogether. Like a kaleidescope, at every turn it pre-ents a different phase, bewildering citizens as w eil as soldiers, and defying the scrutiny of legislativecommittees. At one time companies ., c to be accepted "in the order," as the act declares, "in w hich Utv w are organized and reported to the Adjutant General;" al an tiiqaJtnfyre to be received in the order in which their master rolls are filei. I'nder the former of these rules nine oT the com; allies repirteil by myself and others would have been accepted, if a regiment of cavalry had been called into service, and ander the latter eight could not have been rejected. The Journal simi officially declare that after tendering the services of (en companies to the Governor, and having that tender accepted by His Excellency, I took the responsibility of raafng the names of five of the companies and inserting five others in their stead. Again tra Journal grossly misstates the facts. The com pany repotted by me onthe2Gth of April, as com mantled by Lieut. Young, was the same company whose muster-roll w as subsequently hied by Mr. Hcil'ren, when he had heen elected its Captain. The company reported from Jackson county. elected L. L. Dunham Laptata instead of J. J. Cummins. The company reported from Law re:icc county elected George Shceks to the captaincy, J. J. New hind yielding in his favor. As it was, the companies that had heen accepted by the (Jovenior the Captain - not lielng subject to his appointment this change did not, in any saatarm way, aifect the character of the tender or of the :icci ''.nice. The Porter company. Capf. DeMotte, was ten dered to us by Dr. C imeron, the Representative from that county in the Legislature, wbo insist el on its havitig a plea in the regiment. The time hiving arrived when w o w eie ext e.led to line our muter-rolls on file, anJ not receiving that of Captain DcMot'e's company, w e substituted for it the company of Capt. S--!:ei iner'noru. For a like reason Capt. Owen's compiny was substitute I for that of Capt. Jones, an ! Capt. D.ine'sou's (or the Il'iwnrtl county compliliy. It m i v here le added that the-e ch mges were made i.i the i lesjeace and with the consent of Mr. Noble, Acting At!jut".i,t el the time, anil that the ro rt, thus changed, as accepted by the Governor, remained on file it: tlU A'lj-ttant's ourre from liic UOlh ilaj of April until the 1 0th day of May, dining 11 of which time IM dhjectkae whatever to the eorrcctions made was e cu suggcaUsl.

One word more, in closing, to the editor of the Journal. The last paragraph of his article is. perhaps, char cteristic of the ni in.

Tlie War !cw. The rejioia from Washington arc indefinite J and unsatisfactory as to the movements of boli the Union and Confederate forces. There is i.o i

doubt but there are large numbers of Virginia State and Southern troojis, but their destination ami tasigus are unknown. The Union forces in the icinity of Washington ere estimated at about 3L,b(v, iiml such is the disposition of them that I0,tllt can ba thrown acrosa tle Potomac, in case of an aproacli al the rebel troops, but ag gressive operations will not be commenced in Virginia until full preparations are made-to secure success. 1 he New Vork Trihitne'ö' S tturday has the follow ing items in referent e to the reported movements of the Southern troops in the vicinity of Wa-hingtoti aj.d the condition of the opposing ! es. at und Iii the licilihorhocd ti f Fort Pickens: 'Dierepirtel o'vupatjpn of the Maryland side of the Potomac at Harper's Ferry, bj Vir-inia troops, is not yet authenticated. If the rebels are really in possession of the high ou the north bank of the rier, It will be difficult tc dislodge them. The position is an unusually strong one. At the place (sdloil tlie Point of Kocks on the Potomac, ton miles IrtHB Frederick, the: e is a force of about 4:H) Virtrinians, who stoo and ex amine the trains on the Baltimore and Ohio Kanroad. All these movements indicate a design to attack Washington in the rear. The Confederate Government has determined to do .something on which they can base a demand for foreign recognition. Two plans are propo c one, to raise the blockade; another, to seize and hold Washington. It is all nonsense to be lieve thoy do not intend lite latter; we know they do, and know they will not succeed.

1 he Louise;!. c Journal of vestcrdav .ninouncf : that 'there are many strong and, in its opinion, unml-takable indications of the existencefof" a conspiracy to take Kentucky very speedily out of the Union by combined fraud and violence. The follow ing are the rensvii il presents to EObstahtiutethis serious charge: The Governor's l ue message reveal- the fact that Dr. Biackburn w as commissioned bv him to ti. ,ux for the parchaee of r-rms in behalf of Eentuckv, and of course tiie commissioner was instrt;ctea ius to me reasons nc siiouhl urge upon C people of the South why they should furnish him with arms for Kentucky. And we ml j ad 4 what reasons he was instructed to assign from the reasons he did assign. Hcdcclarad with liasta that Kentucky was ready to go into the Southern Confederacy, and would go ii.imcdi ite ly if the South would but let her have arm- to protect herselfin tl.c position. Now if Dr. illackhurn was not authorized mid instructed to say this, he acted the part of an impostor a thing thai we deem iatpnaaihla Clearly and mani festly and hndeniahly. thcti, it is ,i fact, that a highly re-ect ible Keiitm-ky citizen went to the South, fresh from the inspiration of the counsels of Iheckinridge, Magoliin ti Co., bearing with him credentials for the purchase of arms upon Kentoehy's credit, a credit plighted by tho-e who had do legal jniwer to light it, and distracted to annout.ee. for the promotion of th object of his mission, that Kentucky, on obtaining the arms, would instantly secede from thc.Uniied State-. Ai d w have cogent re isons for believing th t arms are what is now chiefly walte 1 lor liy the leaders of the conspiracy in Kentucky. There baa at no lime been anything to" indicate to the general mind that Kentucky, whatever nrttimighl be obmined from the South or the North. Would go out tit the Union, but yet we know that the ie ide. - in the Southern Confederacy said the disunion leaders' in Kentucky and the relativeand peculiaa friends of thc.-c leaders have all along, in spite of any appetrances adverse hi the'r hopes and wishes, been uniformly conndeni of the secession of the State, just as goon at shi could In- armed, regarding il aa a settled thing, and even betraying at times, unguardedly no doubt, the fact that they hail sources of inform tion not accessible to their fellow citizens. We know that in some instances they have regulate! and shut ed their winde business and the plans o! their lives upon what they regarded as their roli able secret know ledge. We know, too, that citi zons of this State, hat ing large properly in the seceding States, and fearing that it might be con fisc.ited or in some way lost as the property ol alien enemies, have, upon seeking from certain disunion I ciders ndiiceasto the best meins of se curing their posses-ions, been told to give them selves no sort of trouble ujmn that score a Ken tacky w ould be in the Southern Confederacy Within a few das. Moreover, we know that some of the military oAcers of our State, men oat of busi ness mid longing lor service and it- emoluments. are exult im.' iu the assurance, given them no doubt the masterspirit of the disunion plot, that icy will soon, very soon, have work to do It . we are informed, an uuoiiet.onable fact, that evert se-.-es.-iotii-.t. eiir-.üe i in the n.;l ' iry e m panics of Ke.it m ky, regards the precipitation ol tha State out of the Union as inevitable. Unquestionably the m ichmert of the State Government, its enginery, is in tl e hands of the Ot rh i ii ll leaders, and they luve had all the ad vantage of secret organization and preparation for iiKinths, so tint t!:ey ctiii, n .locht, con -ca tr ite Bie'r strength at a mgonl and w?eld it most erTectitely iu whnleecr direction thej' pleise; and this, ifiwedo ic t look well to our position, will enable them to suceeel in our Stale, ju-'. as men like them hare succeeded in other Stutcs, in Pun us sc saioa in defiance of the will of a large imjorityof the pemdei Been the tremendous Union iirj!uity .; Kentucky in tbc recent e'ection of delegates to the border slave States Con ventioii nniv tiot avail to tore us from the mis cmble fate of Tennessee and Virginia and North Carolina, if we sn flier a set of secret plotters, wielding a atrang and organize 1 military force to take us unawares. We want peace. In the great qaarthm now pending, as in all other great politicil ques'ions, wc ask only tor the quiet and just arbitt smcnt of the ballot bos'. Let that be accutded, :ind wc shall not coDinia'ii. To be sure, we do uol d mit tiie coitstiKitional rirht of n Suttc to seceile from the Union, to be sure we can see, as clcnrlv as wo ever saw the light of mid day, that the se cession of Kentcckv would coier Iter all over with hi' sal and sishe' and make her slreaiiw run red to the se;. still, if a majority of her people. in the free exe.Tisc of the nht of suflnitrc, su that she shall go out of the Union, we would not have a hand lifted to defeat their will. But we would gladlv see a. million ha mis lifted, and we would lift our own,-. feeble as it in'udit be, to pre vent our State from being taken out of the I in. 'ii bv illegitimate means. If there .'half be anv attempt to take her out bv fraud, bv state gem, bv force, bv Indirection, bv the sudden .ji'ig of son.e hidden mine, we would have her whole loyal 'population re-ist, to their last breath, the consummation of the terrible crime The recent vote of our State startled and appalle 1 the disunion leaders, and no doubt it has disarranged their plan and itostponed its execu tion; hut. mark ou, fellow citizens, the plant not abaudomd . ls a IVnccnblc Settlement Pos iblc ! The New York Ihrald thinks a peacefal set tlcment of thedifliculties of the country jtssible, aud a bloody conflict averted. In its issue of Saturday it takes the following view of the pres ent attitude of public affairs : Pronl dav to day, a collision has been feared between the pitrioi,- hosts, ou the confines of . ir dnia.and the rebel troojis muler the command of tieneral Lee. Tiie naiional capital has bten saved bj tlie statesmanlike pradenee and military energy of Ceneral Scott, and a large army is now assembled in and around it, which renders ius ps.t'on next to iaapregnable.

The loyal and insurre tionary force- arc, :i yet. nearly ctpiallt bal anced, and neither is reidy to undergo the ordeal of battle. It begins, therefore, to be not im probable that a bloody conflict may be averted until the time shall have come for Congress to meet.
