WEEKLY SENTINEL.

MONDAY, - - AUGUST 3. Urough on Lincoln la .the "(treat speech of the Hon. J oh x . BaovGn," as the Cincinnati Commercial terms it, iu that city on Monday evening last, the Republican candidate for Governor, is reported by tbat print to hare said; . -' Well, the President u elected by tho votes of the Northern States constitutionally elected. He had a majority of the electoral rotes. Who was he? Why a Kentuckian a natire born Kentuckian, an old Henry Clay Whig a con . serratir on the subject of slavery, amounting almost to a pro slavery man." It is by such dishonest statements, for they " ran be characterized by no milJer term, that Mr. Brougb hopes to deceive the people. It is true that Mr. Liscotx was "elected by the rotes of the Northern State constitutionally elected." But Mr. Broi on admits that eren the Southern leaders could make no pretence for rebellion so long as the Democratic party remained intact in this' country, and, to ose his own language, "it could only be made by destroying, breaking down the Democratic party." because, as he alleges, he aaw incipient treason in the Demo era tic National Conrention which met at Cincinnati in 1856. Mr. Broigii did not support the nominee of that body, but what excuse can he offer, if he is a patriot and trne Union man rs he now claims to be, for not exposing the traitorous designs which be now arows wero developed at that time? Either these declarations are a convenient after-thought of Mr. Ekocgh, made for the purpose of parading bis sagacity and as an apology (or his defection from the Democratic party, or else they are evidence of political and moral dishonesty which should debar him from any public position which requires firmness and integrity to discharge. But we bad intended to refer to the declaration of Mr. Bbovgh that Mr. Lincoln was conservative on the subject of slavery, amounting almost to a pro-slavery man." The record of Mr. L.I5COLH, his public speech, deny that he is a conservative upon the question of slavery or any issue of public policy. He is radical and revolutionary, and constitutionally so. While a member of Congress in 18-16 be took the brosd ground that the right of revolution, ot secession, of rebellion existed with every people when, ic their own judgment, their political right were invaded by the majority. Uroa this ground he justifies the revolt of Texas from Mexico, and the arguments he used upon that occasion are those now put forth by the feces sionists of the South as a justification for their rebellion from the Federal Government. Mr. Lixcols if not the author, most cordially indorses the dogma that the United States could not exist under one Government, part slave and p irt free, but that they must be all s'.ave or all free. This sentiment he advocated in the face of the fact that the Union had existed and prospered for near eighty years under a mixed system. Mr. Lixcolx thus believing, or professing bo to believe, would hare been both inconsistent and dishonest if he was not willing and ready to ose the position in which he bad been placed to faror the abolition of slavery to make all the States free, a policy which Lj thought necessary to perpetuate the Government. Mr. Brocgh U dishonest, glaringly so, in claiming that Mr. Liscol was conservative on the subject of slavery amounting almost to a pro-slavery man. He was supported by the Abolitionists in 1860 on account of his sympathy with the views they entertained upon the slavery question, and since the 4th of March, 1661, he ha been completely tinder the inQuence of the Sen heb. wing of the Republican party. Mr. Brough also avers that the President is "an old Hrsir Clat Whig." It h true that Mr. Lixcolx adopts. all the errors which that emiucnt statesmau and patriot entertained upon the questions of a national bank, a protective tariff, and kindred topics, but he care fully eschews the opinions he expressed agaiust the schemes and policy of the Abolitionists and the danger to the peace and perpetuity of the Union by permitting sectional controversies upon the slavery issue. There is no conservatism in Mr. Ltxcotx's composition, and there is none in Mr. Brolgu's. The people by sad experience can appreciate the consequences of placing a party in power of which Mr. Lix colx U the representative, and if Ibej desire to perpetuate the trouble of the past two years they can succeed mot admirably by continuing the control of the government in the hands of men who justify the policy of the Administration a policy which has already precipitated terrible calamities upon the country, and ft will be Providentitl indeed if they do not result in a permanent dissolution of the Union and the overthrow of free, constitutional, government. Tito Exemption Claiue. The Journal has over and over again eulogiiel the $300 exemption provision in the conscript law as the very quintessence of wilom, of ge nius, and of sound policy. It has declared time and again that insteid of being a discrimination against the poor man who could not raise that amount of money to purchase his exemption from military service, it is an exhibition of the kind regard the Government entertained for him. To be sure the poor man could not see it in that light, but the Journal with its keen penetration could. If we recollect the argument of the Journal correctly in faror of the exemption dance it was, that it would prevent the Government from being swindled and furnish it with the means of procuring the right material for the army. But, with its usual sagacity, it condemns the common council of New York for taking advantage of this wUe provision of the law by offering to purchase the exemption of the poor men of tbai city who bad not the means themselves to do it, and thus placing them on an equality with those who had. The Joarnal, however, has discovered a marc's nest in the transaction. It says the appropriation of the council of New York was not made "out of kindness to the conscripts, but to prevent the army from being recruited, and to give the rebellion a chance to recover from the fearful blows it has recently received." If such is the effect of the exemption clause of the conscript act, why did the wise Republican Legislators incorporate it iu the law? If New York city pays $2,500,000 exemption money, does it not furnish the Federal Government the meant to recruit the army from the Abolition ranks? GatELET and Qaaaisox and Phillip promised Father Asa ah am 900,000 men if he would issue - bis emancipation proclamation, all dyed-in the wool Abolitionists, but the Journal says it is "venomous treason" for the New. York Council to offer the money to put them in the field. But they do not want their loyalty put to that trM. 8enator Wilsos inserted the $100 exemption irt the conscript law to save the sons of the Abolition aristocracy of New England from' the necearity of shouldering a musket and thus illustrating the sincerity of their own teachings. 1'be Journal declares it to be rank disloyalty to exempt poor men from military service, but tbat It is the high est evidence of loyalty to give rich men and their sons a cbaurs to escape by the payment of money, which to them it a mere pittance. . Such are its ideas ef Republican' equality ' '' They have hat the papers call an excellent tubstitni for tea in Tioga county, Pennsylvania, H like real China, that merchants mix it with their imported kinds and hare no fault found. It is used by iuelf without detection, and .rang era who drink it, bare no suspicion tbat it is sot the genuine Hong Kong.

The Duty and Policy of the Government The Future of the Republic. At the conclusion of the Punic war, when the Italian Confederacy had been subdued by Rome, Sylla turned the combined armies of the Romans and the Italians against Mithridates. King of Pontus and not only punished this ancient enemy of the Romans for his sympathy with the insurgent Italians, but also largely increased the power and glory of the Roman republic and more firmly reunited the once divided people. This Punic war was in many remarkable respects precisely similar in its causes, in progress and its result to that now raging in this country; and, if our statesmen will but profit by the teachings of history, the parallel between these two great wars will be continued to the sequel In a few months more the rebellion, now shattered by a series of decided defeats, will be entirely sup pressed; and already the necessities, the probabilities and the possibilities ot the future press themselves upon the attention of all those who are sagacious enough to understand that the end of the war is not to end all our difficulties, and that much remains to be done aller the work of subduing the rebellion by military force is cumplecfly finished. Within a few days past it has been satisfactorily demonstrated that the recert successes of our arms and the almost entire exhaustion of the Rebel resources nuke tho speedy conclusion of our civil war a matter of certainty. But, when the last Rebel stronghold is taken, when all the Rebel armies are captured or destroyed, and when the Rebel leaders have either sou cht safety

in Sight or are prisoners in our hands, only onehalf of our labor is accomplished. Our Govern ment will then find itself with an immense veteran army for which to provide. At the South will be another great army of experienced soldiers, heartily tired of rebellion, but not tired of fighting. Ät the North all branches of trade, commerce and manufacture will be as seriously embarrassed by the sadden change from war to peace as they were, three years ago, by the sudden change from peace to war. At the South the insane eagerness of the Rebel leaders to concentrate every possible energy upon the prosecu tion of the war has left the seceded States destitute of any provision for peaceful times, whether as regards the cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco crops, or the usual manufactures in all departments of industry. This state of affairs North and South, will greatly complicate the difficulties of the Government in providing for the disbanded armies;, for the Northern soldiers cannot safely be sent home to add to the distresses of a financial and commercial crisis, and the Southern soldiers will have no alternatives but to turn bri gands and guerrillas or starve. The best and most expedient course for the Government, therefore, is to preserve and unite the armies of the North and the South and find some suitable employment for. this tremendous and invincible force. The example the Romans under Sylla, at the close of a similar war and in a similar dilemma, is consequently worthy of our imitation. Fortunately, like Sylla, we have the argument of right and justice, as well as those of expediency, in support of this course. England and France hare sympathized with and encouraged the Rebels more openly, zealously and effectually than Mithridates encouraged the Italian confed eracy. Without the expectation of foreign aid, the rebellion would never have been organized. Without the constant but del-jsive promises of foreign intervention, the rebellion would long ago bare died a natural death. Without the continual supply of foreign arms, munitions and rranufactures, the rebellion could not have survived more than a year at most. From its very inception up to the present time, England and France have been participants in the enme of the rebellion and have reaped all its advantages. Upon what pretence, then, can they claim to escape its punishment? They have been secretly but dili gently making war own us for over two years, and It is quite time that we began to retaliate. The United State have neve provoked a war with either Engl md or France. They have attacked us not only without provocation, but at a time jrben we were involved in domestic difficulties and could not protect ourselves effectually. England deliberately trampling upon its own laws has followed up its re cognition of the belligerent rights of insurgents by supplying the Rebels with arms, ammunition and money, nud, while affecting to observe a hypocritical neutrality, has built, manned and fitted out Rebel rrirateers, and is now engaged in constructing a fleet of ironclads for Rebel use. Our comment upon such cowardly and treacherous proceedings should be a declaration of war. The Emperor, of the French has repeatedly urged other governments to join him in openly recognizing the Southern Confederacy, and has only refrained from recog nizing it himself because, having cunningly robbed France of her liberty and Italy of her hopes, he has been attempting to steal part of this continent while we were occupied with our civil war, as a smart thief takes advantage of a street fight to pick the pockets of both combatants. The honor and integrity of this republic alike demand that this imperial adventurer shall be punished as he deserves. In a word, then, it is our duty as weli as our interest to att.ick England and France as soon as this war is concilia i. The Southern people are equally incensed against Europe for holding out filse and deceitful promises, not one of which has ever been fulfilled, and will gladly fight with us in such a cause. Thus all animosities between the North and the South will be lost in the common interests and fortunes of such a conflict; all the social and political problems which threaten to perplex us will be easily solved; all the dan gers of a too sudden recurrence to peace will be averted; our gallant soldiers and brave Generals will be gloriously employed; the military and naval talent of our citizens, just beginning to show itself in numerous improvements in the method and material of wars, will be suitably developed; France will be driven out of Meiico and England from Canada, and the United States, more powerful than ever before will embrace this whole continent, and, like ancient Rome, practi cally rule the world N. i . Herald. From the Hebellious State. Richmond papers of the lfth and 19h have found their way to New Roik, via Fortress Monroe. The Rebel editors in face of their re cent military disasters are making a heroic attempt to appear jolly, as witness the fine bit of rhetoric below from the Richmond Dispatch of the 17th: SO CACSI TOR DESrOXDIXCT. While Paul Jones, in the wretched old hulk of an Indianian an hundred years old, (the Bon Homme Richard,) was engaged in the desperate conflict with the Seraphis, a new English frigate of the first class, just out of port after a single broadside had riddled her so completely that he w.'s compelled to lash her to the Lnghsbman to avoid sinking- when nearly all his guns hud burst and half his crew bad falleu a momentary cessation of firing induced the adversary to hail htm and inquire whether lie iad struck. "We have not begun to fight," was the laconic and pithy reply, and after two hours more of mortal combat he had the proud satisfaction of walking the Englishman's deck, a. victor ander circum stances so desperate tbat at one time there ap peared no chance ot escape. Such is the reward of valor when allied to constancy, and directed by an indomitable will. Lincoln, Seward, Halleck, and the whole Yan kee press are bugging themselves in the delusion that they already see the end of the war, and that that end is, to us, the death of our liberty and the beginnin: of an interminable servitude. To their taunts and sneers we reply, in the defiant language of Paul Jones, "We have no; yet begun to light." They think they have seen pitched fields, but the hottest of those they have seen are, to those which must come, but as the freshness of an April morning to the fiery breath of dog days; but as the snow upon the side of the Hecla to the whirling gulf of flame within; but as Decembc to June; but as an ice bouse to a furnace heated a hundred fold. The people have never yet put forth Its strength to half its extent, furious as has been the war in which it has been engaged, mighty as have been ita struggles, glorious as have been its victories, unparalleled as has been the result. What we have done is scarcely a type of what we can do. The present situation, far from being desperate, is only trying enough to induce new energy in the contest, to call for new exertions and new sacrt fices, to remind our people of the nature of the conflict, and the object of the enemy, to bring out our whole strength, and to let the world see of what we are capable. While the Yankees think they have subjugated us by taking Yicksburg. we repeat. In the language of Paul Jones, "We have not yet begun to fight." Such is the spirit of our people, such the resources of our countrymen In their own deternl ined will, such the obstacles which the enemy will have to overcome, before he can ever subdue us. We have lost Yicksburg and Tort Hudsoo, What of that? Suppose we lose Charleston. S-tvannah, Mobile, Wilmington all our sea ports. What of thalt.we.ask again. "What though the field be lost? , All ta not loot! TU unconquerable will. And study of revenge, Immortal hat, And eourajr never to sobsait, or yield: 7 ' All then remain:" , : , f These we still have, though everything materially were gone.

But we are reduced to no such straits. On the contrary, we speak the solemn truth when we declare tbat in our opinion oursituatiou, although it is ote which calls foe the utmost exertion, so fir from beiug desperate is not even gloomy. The enemy has taken Vicksberg and Port Hud- -sou. Does he open the navigation of the river thereby? -Not at all, as we think we showed the other day, and we think showed satisfactorily. On the other hand, he weakens himself, by the garrisons be if obliged to put in those blaces, and he strengthens our armies by returning tire rarrisoiis which have been so long shut up there. He would da the -S4rue.thiug.by taking Charles ton. Savannah and Mobile. Having no longer any detached posts to defend, eur army could then complete the policy of concentration which but partially pursued bua.already beeu attended with such memorable results. Retiring to the interior as he advances, we shall weakeii him and strengthen ourvelves Willi every step that he takes iu leaving his base of, operations. We hare made our calculations long ago that all he towns within reach of the enemy's navy would fall; and giving them, for the sake of argument, up to him, we conceive that weare more able to beat him without them than with them. Let it not be forgotten, in the meantime, that we hare a powerful army an army that has never been beaten, with a General at its head who may rank with the most renowned leaders of whom history makes mention. Iet the desponding think on these facts, and tell as what there is gloomy in our situation. For our part, wo see nothing whatever. We may be called on

to destroy more cotton and tobacco to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy; but, in our opinion, this would not be the worst thiug the Government could do, even of its own free will. It would recall the minds of thousands from the pursuit of wealth to the defense of the country, and tbat would be a positive gain. From Washington. A DisASTEors Federal Reconkoissakck The Strength of Gen. Lek's Abmt Number or Confederate Troops in the Field The Feeling or the Southern People. Special Correspondence of the Chicago Times. Washington, July 24. While the main body of Gen. Meade's army is east of the Blue Ridge, there is still a portion ot it (cavalry) near Hancock and Williamsport. On Tuesd.iy last, July 21, this cavalry force, commanded by Gen. Averill, and supported by the iniautry under Gen. Kelly, the latter-ofheer not being attached to Meade's army, but commanding a large nnmber of troops on the middle part of the line of the Haiti more and Ohio railroad,) made a reconnoissance toward Martinsburg. The affair resulted very.disastrously. The enemy were found strongly posted at that place, and, after a severe engagement, in which our troops fought with determined bravery, we were repulsed and compelled to retreat with heavy loss. I doubt whether "the Government" will allow any account of the affair to be published". This affair, and the defeat of Gen. Gregg at Shepherdstown, on the 17th, removes all doubt as to the location of Gen. Lee's army- Rut at what a heavy sacrifice has the information beeu gained. The real facts in regnrd to the actual strength of Gen. Lee's army have now been definitely ascertained. He entered Pennsylvania with U0,(JUO troops He recrossed the Potomac on the 13th with 75,000, having lost 15,000. His army now consists of the three corps of Longstreet, Ewell and A. P. Hill, each 20.000 strong, and General Stuart' cavalry, 5.01)0 It is known that two wcks ago there were 20,000 more troops at Rii hrnond, Petersburg and various points on the Peninsula, under Gen D.H.Hill - This officer has now been sent to the southwest, and it is believed that tliese 20,000 troops are now with Gen. Lee, and in co operation with bis three corps mentioned above, so that his whole forte is now i5,000 stronr. and ech of the corps is about 26,000 or 27.000 strong. It is supposed, also, that 30,000 of the troops recently under Gen. Bragg are now on their way to join Gen. Lee, which will swell his numbers to 125,000 troops. When these facts are believed here, it can easily be seen that it is necessary for Gen. Meade to act with great caution. Intelligence from Richmond up to July 20 has been received here. It is evident, from the information thus obtained, that the Southern people, as well as the Confederate authorities, are greatly displeased by their recent reverses on the Mississippi, but that they are by no means inclined to despond or relax their efforts. The number of troops which the Confederates now have in arms is estimated here at only 250,000, namely; 75,000 with Lee, 20,000 near Richmond, 30.000 at Charleston, 10,000 at Mobile, 15,000 uuder Marmaduke and Price, 50,000 under Bragg, and 30,000 at various detached points. Even if this estimate be correct, there is no leason for believing that the war is any nearer termination now than it was a year ago. That number of troops can be doubled, if necessary, lor the fighting population of the South is not half exhausted yet, and as yet our armies have not penetrated the interior of the South. The declaration of the Richmond papers, that the Southern people have not vet begun to fight, will be found no idle boast. And it looks very much now as if we will soon have to look active foreign intervention square in the face. . X. J, JVf or pan. The Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says in reference to the capture of Moroa.v. Some anxiety exists as to the terms of the surrender. It is said the militia. Captain Bainbridge, captured Morcan.and acceded to terms of immediate parol, the officers to ret in their side arms. The people are iudignant that the outlaws should be so favored, and loth to believe the rumor. The Commercial thus notices the arrival of Mohga and staff in Cincinnati: The field band of the 111th discoursed "Yankee Doodle" on the march, which the prisoner endured with complete tang froid. Morgan, on the way, interrogated the Captain commanding the guard, concerning the where ibouts of his brother; his question on that point being answered, he turned and said: "Pass up that whisky' The whir-ky was passed forward b a canteen, which the General proffered to the Captain, who politely refused. The General then took a long pull. Thev were ensconced in the city prison abortiv before eleven o'clock. Belore locking them up they were deprived of a large nnmber of pistols, which they stated they had been permitted to re tain by the terms of surrenuer. There was about a bushel of pistols, all loaded, stowed away in the office of the city prison last night, all of them revolvers, roost of the officers carry ing a brace. . . Morgan is fullv six feet high, and of prepossmg though not imposing presence. He was attired in a linen coat, black pants, white shirt and light felt hat. Ao decorations were visible. Hehns rather a mild face, there being certainly nothing In it to indicate the possession or unusual intellectual qualities. . Col. Ciuk is very tall, rising probably two inches over six feet. He was attired much after the manner of his chief. Ue is slender, has sandy hair and looks like a man of invincible determination. His countenance is not devoid of certain savage lines, which correspond well with his barbarities as a leader. . The Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette thus discourses about the surrender Of MoKGA.f : Morgan claims that he surrendered to Captain Burbridge, of the militia of Columbians county, who paroled them. Gen. Shackelford, who was then within a short distance of Morgan, with his whole command, refused to recognize the porol. The question as to the authority of the Captain to issue it will be decided by Gen. Buruside. Quarters at the Ohio penitentisry had been prepared for the reception of Morgan and bis officers, but this question being raised, they were ordered on to Cincinnati. Gov. Tod is in pos session of information to the effect that the surrender was made to Major Rue, which, if correct, will settle the matter, sod Morgan may yet be consigned to imprisonment here until tho release of the officers of Streigbt's expedition is effected. This is demanded by the people as a m ittet-' of justice, and will no doubt be fully carried out. A Bur Eatixo Army. The number of bullocks devoured by the Army of the Potomac during the time elapsed between their march from Catletl's Station toward Fredericksburg under Bumside and their return by Catlett's Sta tion under Hooker, was 35.000. Freh army beef is self transported, and the saving In transportation effected by driving cattle for army supplies, is found to be equal to one and a quarter pounds per man per day, or an aggregate for the Army of the Potomac say of 125 ,000 "pounds per day. Andrews. A correspondent Informs the New York World that 'Andrews, notorious for Inciting the mob during the recent riots, and now under arrest, was formerly a detective officer and ne of Secretary Stanton's spies.

Mob Spirit. ' On the 16th of April, 1861, the Tribune thus

announced, editorially, the outbreak of mobs in various parts of the country: "The righteous indignation of the people at the treason of the northern presses which have been for months stimulating the slaveholders to rebel against the Union, was very strongly manifested in various parts of the country yesterday;" and proceeded to advise the people, with reference to newspapers which that sheet desired to suppress, to cease to buy them, and cease to advertise in them." On the 18th of April, the Tribune exulted over a demonstration against the Journal of Commerce, and incited the mob to further violence, saying. "We may rejoice that the spirit of patriotism has opened the eyes of the people to the character of such papers as the Journal of Commerce. We recall these facts for the purpose of drawing from them a lesson most important to be learned at the present hour. At all times, and on all occasions, we have sternly and unequivocally condemned every display of popular fury manifested outside of the pale of the laws. No other course than this can be right, and this course we shall pursue, whether mobs attack conservatives or radicals, whether they aim to destroy our presses or the presses of our radical contemporaries. Counsels such as we have given surely did not educate the mob of New York to deeds of violence. But will our neighbor carefully review the above extracts, and many of a similar character which might be made from his columns, and say whether his conscience is equally clear? Let us take counsel together on this subject, conservatives and radicals, and consider the line of duty, and follow it. Wherein did the crowd of half drunken men, rowdies, and vagabonds, whose "righteous indignation" pleased the Tribune two years ago, differ from the crowd who burned and robbed houses last week? In no particular, except that the first mob was a small affair and the. last a terrible affair. The spirit was the. same. Now, reflect on the spread of that spirit. We have carefully preserved the newspaper accounts of the "righteous indignation" demonstrations in the country since that time, and their number is enormous. They have destroyed public and private property; they have murdered citizens, have outraged others, and this in nearly every loyal State of the Union. All this has been in consequence of the teachings of those who regarded these mobs as only "the people" acting under the "spirit of patriotism," and their fiendish malignity only as "righteous indignation." The mob spirit had been sedulously fostered and encouraged by radical men and newspapers. It seemed at one time as if they expected to be able to inaugurate the scenes of the French revolution here. The doctrine that laws were not to bind the will of a free people engaged in a great war was constantly promulgated and maintained. It is but little more than a year ago that the Tribune told the citizens of Fulton county to suppress a newspaper there without waiting to apply to the authorities. Now, will any sane man tell us that all this for two years has had no effect on the minds of the people? It is nonsense for the radical papers to be saying now that the mob is not a mob of the people, when they called mobs which they approved, "the people." One is no less and no more the people than the other. All are alike demonstrations of popular passions, badly taught. wickedly inclined, and all alike demand the outspoken condemnation of the good citizen. Let the Tribune and all journals of a like class calmly and seriously reflect on this subject, and they must acknowledge the force of our observations, they must learn the lesson of these terrible events. It will not do to loose the winds; no man can guide them. How ungenerous, nay, now criminal, would it be regarded in us to day, to "rejoice that the eyes ot the people are opened to the character of such papers as the Tribune." Ungenerous, because the courtesies of the profession would be violated; criminal, because it would imply on our part a joy in an attack upon our neighbor, which we condem as a wicked outrage But what was the character of such rejoicing in our contemporary two years ago? Is not the question one which demands an answer for the sake of the future? If considerations of public morality and public order do not prevail on this subject, selfish considerations must be appealed to. No one knows where a mob may turn its violence; no one can tell where the next mob may direct its fury. He who encourages it to day may be its victim to morrow. The fearful history of the French revoluiion contains ample illustration of this truth. We beseech all men of influence in the editorial chairs of the country, in public or in private me, to think soberly and seriously on this question of the origin of the mob spirit in our country. Consider the fact that the mob is made of men, and that men have eyes and ears and brains to read, to hear and to think. Remember that every approval, unrebuked, of mob violence, by a public man, instils into more or less minds disregard for law. Remember that every time the people are told the false story that laws are suspended by war, they learn some notions of lawlessness. Why, for a year and more, the idea has been believed by large numbers of the people that the old saving, "inter arma silent leges, means literally that "in time of war laws ought to be silens or suspended ," and they believe it because Senators and orators and newspapers tell them so; whereas it only means the assertion of a melancholy truth, that in war times there are always violations of law, none the less violations, none the less to be condemned because war exists. The mob ought not to be forgotten, as a trifling incident of war times. It appeals to the citizens of this great country with thunderous voice Stand by your laws always and every where. We are a free people-- not free to judge of what measure of obedience we will render to law, not free to determine whether we will or will not obey, but free because we make our own laws and making them agree to obey them. And whenever a man or a newspaper teaches that popular sentiment, expressed by a mob, is entitied to public approval, or worthy of anything but condign punishment, we care not whether it is expressed against Abolitionist or Democrat, that man is a revolutionist, or a traitor to the principles on which our Government rests We must support law. This is the doctrine we have steadfastly maintained, and we have been called traitors for maintaining it. Our sympathies are with every man that is wronged by mob or by lawless violence of any kind. We have expressed these sympathies for Democratic papers, and we feel the same sympathy for the radical papers which have suffered from equally lawless violence N. Y. Jour. of Com. The Secret Spies of the Administra-tion-An Interesting Letter. The Fredonia (N. Y.)

Fulton County Treasurer Robbed. -The safe of the Treasurer of Fulton county (Rochester) was robbed, a . few nights ago, of some $9,000 in money, a part of which was in gold. The robbers entered the dwelling of the Treasurer, took the key of the safe out of his pantaloons pockets, and then repaired to the Treasurer's office and commuted the robbery. About $2,500 of this money belonged to the county, and the balance was the property of the Treasurer and various individuals who had made deposits with him for sale keeping. The Treasurer loses by the robbery all his fees for the past three years. The Democracy of Whitley county will meet at Columbia City, at the court house, on Saturday, August l5th, to nominate candidates for the various county offices to be filled at the ensuing October election.

The eavy rams had moderated the excessive heat of the preceding fortnight, the morning sky was cloudless aud the light breeze scarcely ruffled the placid waters of the harbor. bombardment or BATT'JBT waonek. About eight o'clock tie desultory cannonade with which the experience of a week had made our community familiar was again heard. For nearly three hours the enemy a fire was mam tained with the usual deliberation; but about 11 'clock it was noticed that the reports ca me in far more rapid succession, S. noon it became. well understood that the .'oe wa) resolved to sub ject our position to au ordtH-rnuch more severe than any which, up to that time, it bad en countered. ! At that hour, as we learn bv hcdiidU irom Morris Island, ibe converging fire of the enemy gainst the battery had become truly iearful. 'ive Monitors, the - frigate' Ironsides, seven wooden gunboats, with the laud batteries which the Yankees had thrown up on the lower part of the island, kept up a constant rain of shot and shell into our works. No loss than sixty five heavy gnns and eiht tujrtirs are known to have been iu play against us. At one lime so rapid as the nie thut tho report averaged twentyseven r minute. Uneol the Monitors lay north east of llattcry Warner and two to the south east, while the others, with the Ironsides, kept a position- uearlv opposito the sea face of the bat terv.'

I here were two i aukee batteries on .Morris Island one. consisting of two guns and a mortar, was located on Craig Hill, within about eight hundred yards of our battery; the other was beyond ürsham s lloiife, and had an armament of eizht rifled shell c uns. It is estimated that during the day no less than nine thousand shells were fired at the battery. THE BOMBARPMENT, AS VIEWED FBOM TBE OTT, was a crand, terrible siht. The horizon, from Fort Moultrie to Vinegar Hill, was crowned with the shifting masses of the smoke of the conflict. Eich moment the enemy's shells, sometimes sin gly, sometimes in clusters, rould le seen burst njj just nlMve the site ol llatierv Wagner; but when, at intervals, the cloudu of white smoke iftcd for a time from the scene, the flag of the brave garrison could be seen still wa ingdefiantly in the breeie, while with prim regularity and de iheration our guns kept replying to the foe For eleven consecutive hours the bombard ment rajred with more or less violence About dusk the fire, which during the afternoon had been ineejsmt (probably wi'h the design of de moralizing our men and iiiihtuiig them tor the expected nizht's work) began to slacken consid erably, and at d irk censed almost entirely. The results, thus far, Ivid been of a character to give ns good cause for encouragement and gratula tion. . The damage to our battery was insignifi cant and of a kind easilv and speedilv reparable The bombproofs had afforded efficient protection to a large portion of the garrison, and our casual ties nt seven o'clock P. M , were but four killed nd fourteen wounded. Of the enemy's losses from our fire, if anv, we have, of course, no trustworthy account Fort Sumter, which lore a p:irt in the action, seM several shells into the Craig Hill bttterie, and also into the camp of the enemy, about three and a quarter miles did tant, it is believed, with good eflect. THE NIGHT ATTACK. At a tew minutes before eight o clock our pickets gave notice that the enemy in heavy force was movinz to the assault. I lie attacK was not unexpected, and our men, thouch much jtded by the fatigues and exposure of the day. sprang to their places with zeal and alacrity. The enemy advanced iu two columns of nbout three thou s;ind men each, the whole under command o Brigadier General Strong. The column which attacked our right was composed partiall v of nezro troons. who were put in the advance. On our left the other column adranced with spirit under a severe five from the D.ihlren guns and columbiads from Fort Sumter. As the column advanced at double quick, the guns of Butt et v Wagner also opened. When the enemy had reached . a point sixty yards distant, our infantry, posted behind the parapet, poured a galling fire into the moving masses; the Yankees, nevertheless, in considcra ble force, succeeded in gaining the trench, end began to clamber up the sides of the b ittery. At tins moment ijienienant aues, ot Diane s oalerv. who was in charge of two brass howitzers (belonging to a detachment of artillcrv unde Capt. DePass. of White's battalion,) opened raking fire which swept the trench, plaving terri ble havoc in the ranks of the assailants. The howitzers had been assigned to this position which thev occupied so ndvautageously for us, at th instance of Col. Harris, of the engineers, ail the horses belonging to the section being put hors du combat during the dar. I wice the enemy were diiven back at this part of our woiks (the left,) ar l the trench filled w'th the enemv s dead at tests the severity of the conflict there. On the right, the negro troops were met with a terrible cross fire of musketry. Here was poste with other troop the Charleston battalion, and these gallant men behaved in a manner worthy the fame their organization h id so deirly won a Secession villc. The second ssanlt was still more desperate than the first, but it was met and repulsed in the same galhint sl)le by the brattroops Georgians, North Carolinians, and sons of our own city w ho stood shoulder to shoulder in the fight. In the centre of our lines, a small body of the enemy succeeded in gaining a lodgment in a sa lient, the gun of which had beep disabled. Here they maintained their position for more than an hoiir. A gallant hut unsuccessful attempt was made to dislodge them, in which Capt. Rvan fell and it was not until a small force of Georgians had ascended the magazine and thus gained position to command the salient that the auda cious Yankees surrendered. At the time this occurred, the firing elsewhere bad ceased; and the Georgians accomplished their purpose withou firm a nun. J he movement bv wb'ch this was effected was undertaken at the suggestion of Co' Harris. TUE RE ATT LOSSES. The fight lusteJ from eight until eleven P.

Daring the early portion of yesterday morning

11 was comparatively ouict on Morris ltland. About 11 o'clock the land batteries occupied ort Wagner, and the JloLitors and Ironsides gain approached and opened a terete fire. This continued until t ma o'clock, wheu the bombard ment became furious, the reports being heard in quite as rapid succession as on Saturday. This furious cannonade lasted for about an hour scd a alf. Fort Sumter and Batterv Wagner replying slowly. Also fire was opened from a new batte rv on James Island.1 Fort Sumter rot in range f the Ironsides, a:id a little before four o'clock she withdrew. The Monitors also hauled off. nd for the remainder of the evening the firing was at long and irregular intervals, coming chieffrom the enemv s land batteries. Some shots were fired at Fort Johnson and at the Shell Point battery. . .The casualties in Fort Wagner yes'eray were four kille! and five wounded. A mortar fire was kept up on Battery agner every few minutes during the night from the bat terv near traliam s house. , i On Sunday morning the enemy sent in a fltg of truce to iisk permission t bury their dead. whose iKklies lay thickly strewn in trench and elsewhere in froutof our works. As it was supposed the chief object of this request on the part of the Yankee commander was to train an oppor tunity to recoiinoiter our position, the proposition was declined, and the duty of burying the dead devolved upon our own men, aud oo Sunday no bring occurred. The number of IhkIips buried previous to the renewal of our cannonade yesterday was eight hundred six hundred by our men, and some two hundred and odd beyond uur lines by the enemy. ncluding those still unbuned, and the woudded who have since died, the enemy's loss in killed alone must bare been nearly if not cjnile one thousand. The number of troops taken by our troops, including the wounded, was 276. Judging from these figures, and remembering the w ell known habit which the ankces have of carrying off their wounded, it seems quite reasonable to believe that their total loss in killed, wounded and prisoners could rot b ive been less than two thousand.
