ocrastination take the place of energy and activity. A long war would be disastrous to every interest, and would probably fail in the main object. A short and energetic war will not injure the country, while it is the only hope of saving the Union. But we have not the least fear that the people will hold back now, and endanger the nation by the perilla of a protracted campaign. The call of the Executive is met everywhere in the right spirit, as the report of the meeting held at different places all over the North abundantly prove. We should not be surprised to see a fresh army of 300,000 men in the field within sixty days, without resorting to drafting at all. This will be a spectacle for the world to behold. It will justify the remark made to Mr. Everett in Washington recently, by the representative of one of the most powerful military nations of Europe, that the army of this republic had accomplished more during the past year than any country in Europe could have done.

ne to whom a part of the globe belongs, and who looks upon all men not owning property as interlopers on the demeanes of the Creator, and who considers a plague, pestilence, or war, by which they may be taken off, the minister of a Divine Police, arresting loafers and vagrants and consigning them to a place where they can repent at their leisure of their poverty and worthlessness. As to "solid men" meaning anything "solid" in morals, virtue, valor, or patriotism, of course it does not. Everett, Dickinson, Cushing & Co. --could anything be more "solid" in outward aspect? And yet, each of them has proved a mere shell, and a shell full of corruption and death. And no better specimens can anywhere be found of the "solid men" of the North. They are just as corrupt and depraved as the unsolid men, and a thousand times more hypocritical. The only difference between them and the "riff-raff" is, that the latter "wear their hearts upon their sleeves," and, contrary to the general impr

they were received with distinguished courtesy by the General and his staff. Arrangements for their stay were made in the next house--Governor Shepley's — and yesterday they were allowed to drive through a part of the city in company with Lieut. Wiegel, A. D. C., to make some personal purchases. They will return to Camp Moore to-day, and they certainly can find no fault with General Butler's hospitality. They are very agreeable gentlemen, and I think Colonel Jones, who is an old Bell and Everett man, has some affection for the good old flag left in his heart yet. Mr. Barrow frankly avows himself an uncompromising, dyed in the wool secessionist. They are both of them very wealthy planters in this State. Reports of Refugees. A letter from Fortress Monroe, of July 28th, gives the following story of two "refugees" from Richmond, who arrived there the day before: James river is not entirely obstructed from Richmond to Fort Darling.

n the North embraced within its limits many virtuous and Christian people. What has become of them? Where have their reason and religion fled? We know that, even up to the hour of dissolution, the North had statement ripe in years, of approved judgment and experience, who had grown gray in public life, and who had associated for half a century with Southern representatives, so that they possessed every opportunity of understanding Southern as well as Northern character. There were Case, Everett, Winthrop, Dickinson, Cushing, and others, whose names will readily occur to every intelligent reader. How then, are we to understand the unrelieved and unmitigated brutality of the North in this war? Why have not their wise statesmen rebuked the madness of the people? Why, instead of recusing their madness, have they actually led the way in the popular phrensy and ferocity? We cannot believe that the North has been suddenly demoralized. Making all allowance for the excitement of t

e, and in Maryland; I have seen men, formerly substantial and thriving, whose everything is devoured by the Federal; but never in one single instance have I heard a word of regret by reason of the war, a timid note sounded in regard to its issues, a sigh breathed over the departed Union, a ghost of a desire expressed in favor of compromise or reconstruction. On the contrary, one universal chorus echoes through the length and breadth of the land: "The not is broken, and we are delivered!" Mr. Everett and his votaries, who still believe in imprisoned loyalty as existing in the South, might as well search in the British Islands for a man who desired them to be annexed to France. So united, so homogeneous a community as the States of the Southern Confederacy finds no parallel in our annals. No war that England has waged for a hundred years has met with such cordial, unanimous, undivided support. The war against the French Republic had its Charles Fox; the war against Russia its Ric

Union League demonstration there on the 20th. The American says the occasion was to commemorate "the second anniversary of the great loyal uprising throughout the country, produced by the massacre of Union soldiers on our streets, and also in a testimonial of the loyalty of our city as compared with its apparent disloyalty two years since" Also, as "the first public meeting of the Union League of Maryland." There was a good deal of "the flag" business done. Letters were read from Seward, Everett, and others, and the meeting was honored by the presence of the Provost Marshal of Maryland, Gen. Schenck. The following are the resolutions adopted, prepared, it is said, by Gov. Bradford: Whereas, the Union Leagues of Baltimore, organized in the days of darkness which hung over the State and the country in the spring of 1861, are now for the first time, assembled in public mass meeting, it is proper to declare the principles, purposes, and views of their members: Therefore Reso

Gentlemen: --We arrived here yesterday from a cruise, having touched at Queenstown on the 17th and landed Everett, 1st Lieutenant; Garettson, Surgeon; and Hunter, Midshipman. We then cruised about off Taskar Rock light. We went off the Channel and outside in chasing four or five vessels. On the 22d we succeeded in capturing the American ship Anglo-Saxon, from Liverpool for New York; stripped her of what was necessary and set fire to her. We then stood off one thousand to-twelve hundred yards and fired three broadsides into her, as much for practice as for sinking her speedily. There were two or thr
