There is no civil government in action from Harper's Ferry, here — even the last class falls to furnish volunteers to take the office of Justices of the Peace.* Crime of all sorts, therefore, except it be by soldiers subject to court martial, has a holiday, and horse stealing and robbery are the order of the day and night. The presence of troops from distant States (especially those of one division) has exasperated at any rate — you may believe — and the intemperate exultations here of soldiers over victories in which sons, husbands, and br<

ted that it is an army of three hundred thousand men; we see no reason why it should be permitted to hold Virginia beyond the 1st of October. President Lincoln has the power and the means to put to flight and disperse this defiant rebel army within the next sixty days. Congress has invested him with absolute authority over the men, money, means, and facilities of the nation of every kind for a brief and overwhelming campaign. At this moment no monarch in Christendom, not even the Emperor of Russia, possesses a more ample range of authority than our modest and unpretending President. This authority has been bestowed upon him to save the life and restore the health and integrity of the nation. With the free and full consent of our twenty-three millions of loyal people, Congress has given to President Lincoln these powers, means, and responsibilities of a temporary dictator; and our loyal people look to him with confidence for the most beneficent results to the country and to mankind i

But they are the rare exceptions in Eastern and Southern Virginia.

With this proof of his guilt staring him in the face, he goes before the people of his own State and denies ever saying any such thing. The truth of the matter is, this is but a small portion of the crimes that Wilson, Wade, Sumner and Company committed against their country during the last session. There is a long black list standing against them, which even Wilson, with all his impudence and lies, cannot remove. They acted as a secret committee, and like the Jaco

u will not wonder that sadness rules the hour now. But you remember our stay in Richmond in 1859, and the excitement of John Brown's raid then. In the midst of her fatherless children, the widow whose bereavement I have mentioned said to me, as she covered her face with her hands, "Why, my dear sir, we have not seen sunshine in Virginia since John Brown entered it. People forget this. This war is not the beginning. It has been home guard, and night-watch, and patrol, and rumor of insurrectionversion into applause. 1.--A sermon was preached by an army chaplain in Charlestown, the scene of the execution of John Brown for violation of law, sedition, and murder, on a Sunday in April, on some text enjoining "the mission of proclaiming liberty;" and the hymn given out and sung was-- "John Brown's body hangs dangling in the air, Sing glory, glory, hallelujah" [It is a satisfaction to know, as I do, that the preacher was rebuked for it by the Lieutenant Colonel of his regimen

Like the Jacobine, with Robespierre at their head, they endeavored to build up their own faction at the peril of the Union cause; and we now see the result. From the brilliant victories in the early part of the season we have now to turn and witness the darkest hour of the Union cause since the rebellio
