To the same effect, Gov.

tiously and guardedly said: The first gun of civil war is heard, whose reverberations are yet to echo through the civilized world — the signal of events of which no man can tell tile end. A fearful responsibility is due to those who have brought this crisis upon the country. War is not the least of calamities. If the Federal Government were about to sacrifice its treasures and fleets and armies to rebuke the Spanish usurpation in Saint Domingo — if this armament were intended to repel Mexican aggression, or to assert our right to San Juan against English pretension — every citizen would gladly rally to the support of the Government. But it is between the States of the Union that the war is to be declared; and its provocations are to be found in the aggressions of section against section, and the defiance of constitutional guarantees. It is a civil war that opens — a war whose successes are without glory, whose noblest deeds are without honor, for they are won in fratricidal c

civil war, in substantial accordance with the foregoing views of The New York Express and The Albany Argus. The Pennsylvanian (Philadelphia), and The Patriot and Union (Harrisburg), with nearly every other leading Democratic journal in Pennsylvania, also treated the war now opening as provoked, if not wantonly commenced, by the Black Republicans. So with the ablest and most widely circulated Democratic journals of Connecticut. The Chicago Times, The Detroit Free Press, and Ohio Statesman (Columbus), likewise regarded and treated the conflict as one which the Republicans had unwarrantably commenced, or, at least, incited. Few or none of these, however, counseled acquiescence in Disunion — much less, a surrender of Washington and Maryland. The New York Herald of the 15th put forth a leader, whereof the drift is exhibited in the following extracts: Earnestly laboring in behalf of peace, from the beginning of these sectional troubles down to this day, and for the maintenance of

From Union-loving Kentucky, this reply was rendered: Frankfort, April 16, 1861. Hon. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War: Your dispatch is received. In answer, I say emphatically that Kentucky will furnish no troops for the wicked purpose of subduing her sister Southern States. B. Magoffin, Governor of Kentucky.

ction and wholesale slaughter of the whites will alone satisfy the murderous designs of the Abolitionists. The Administration, egged on by the halloo of the Black Republican journals of this city, has sent its mercenary forces to pick a quarrel and initiate the work of desolation and ruin. A call is made for an army of volunteers, under the pretense that an invasion is apprehended of the Federal capital; and the next step will be to summon the slave population to revolt and massacre. The Utica [N. Y.] Observer more pointedly said: Of all the wars which have disgraced the human race, it has been reserved for our own enlightened nation to be involved in the most useless and foolish one. What advantage can possibly accrue to any one from this war, however prolonged it might be? Does any suppose that millions of free white Americans in the Southern States, who will soon be arrayed against us, can be conquered by any efforts which can be brought against them?

fifteen Slave States, having a decided minority of the population, and a still more decided minority of the white inhabitants, of that section, had justified the sanguine promise. On the contrary, the so-called Border States, with Tennessee and Arkansas, had voted not to secede, and most of them by overwhelming majorities; save that Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware, had scarcely deigned to take the matter into consideration.
