Lincoln (search for this): article 1
arly secession of Virginia. War once commenced, no one who understands the interests of the North in the Union, and the temper of the Northern people, could anticipate a short struggle. If we had been able promptly to follow up the battle of Manassas, as far even as the occupation of Arlington Heights, so as, without occupying Washington, to hold a rod in terrorem over it, we should be a good deal nearer peace than we now are. But what is this war for? We think it is just for what Mr. Lincoln says it is — the subjugation of the Southern people. It is useless to say that no sane Yankee can indulge such an idea. No Yankee is sane upon this subject. The consolidation idea in the Northern mind is universal and ineradicable. You might as well attempt to convince a Northern man that the city and county of New York are not part of the State of that name, or that Boston does not belong to Massachusetts, as that the Southern Confederacy is not a part of the Union. They look upon i

res which cannot lie. We do not say that this is the only spring and motive of the war. The Northern mind has of late years been abolitionized, and the anti-slavery element adds its sullen fire to the threatening flame. The irritation, arising from the carefully disseminated idea that the South looks upon the North as a race of cowards, has also more to do with the persistency with which this war is and will be waged than is generally imagined. Another object was disclosed in a speech of G. A. Grow, Speaker of the Black Republican House of Representatives. After speaking of the purchase of Louisiana and Florida, he remarked as follows: Your fathers believed that it was one of the questions of vital importance for the future of the country, that no foreign jurisdiction should have a home at the mouth of the Mississippi or in Florida; and yet to-day the man who settled those territories you permit to organize into States, and to set up an independent jurisdiction over them — an

sure, the experiment must be made. The New York Tribune, commenting on this somewhat significant and remarkable observation, said that the considerations suggested by Mr. Speaker Grow were practical, and that the dangers and necessities alluded to by him were wholly outside of the text of the written constitution. Said the editor: The abstract right of secession might be proved clear as the noonday sun, and its assertion be recognized by all the powers of Europe, but yet the United States could never concede it, and will never concede it, till their power as a nation is utterly broken and gone. Secession may be proved in the schools; dismemberment of the Republic can only come by the sword. There is, in fine, no end to the variety of motives and objects of this war. We predict that it will end when the North becomes unable to prosecute it, and not before. Our only wonder is, that anybody could ever doubt what the war was for, or imagine that it would be of short d

Interesting to Missourious. Congress has passed, and the President approved, a bill to enable the people of Missouri to elect members of Congress. This was necessary since Missouri but recently became a member of the Confederacy. The bill provides for the election of thirteen members of the House of Representatives, or one for every ninety-one thousand of population, and one additional member for every fraction over one-half of the ratio of representation under the United States Census of 1860. Missouri, the youngest member of the Confederacy, will shortly be represented in our National Councils.

McClellan (search for this): article 1
mber have been received here. The Herald. of that date, says that the destination of Butler and Burnside's expeditions is to reinforce Sherman at Port Royal. A portion of Butler's force left Hampton Roads on Wednesday last. The Times says that the Cabinet is divided on the policy to pursue in regard to slaves. Messrs. Chase, Cameron, and Welles are in favor of emancipation, and Messrs, Seward, Blair, and Bates are against emancipation. The Herald expresses the opinion that McClellan will not advance. On the other hand all the signs are otherwise. Refugees who reached Centreville this evening, from Alexandria, report that an immense collection of wagon trains are on this side, and general movements are indicative of speedy operations. Forage is very scarce in Washington city, and animals are suffering severely. Coal is not to be had, and wood is $10 per cord. General Fremont reached New York on Thursday, and the Abolitionists are clustering around him.
