If something ia not done pretty soon, decisive, either evacuation expulsion, the whole country will become so disgust d Willi the sham of Southern independence that the first chauoo the people get ul a populor elec tion, they will turn, the whole movement top?y turvy so bid than it never on earth can be rigtiud again.1' It wai the intention of thu- Government to evacuate Ft. Sumter a-soon as it could be done with any degree ot honor. Tho traitors, however, demanded its surrend er, which, of course, was re' Used by the Administration. Maj. Anderson's sup plies ot provisions were cut od by order of the President of the 'so-called Southern Confederacy, and the President of ihe United Stales, of course, was bound to fetd the soldiers ; peaceably if posil l ,, or if not thus permitted, them by force. Before even an att inpt mold be made, on the part of the V. S. authorities to provis ion Major Anderson, ht was called upon to surrender. B fusing to tin this the fort was attacked, and the n b graph col umns furnislr the re.-uli. This, to be brief, was the touimencem nt of hostili ties, and on ihe heads of the disunion leaders rests the responsibility. It is useless to sp -culate on thr future results; God only knows. This much, however, we are couincd of. that the Administration having thus far acted purely on ihe deft n ive, will continue to do so. Bat in so dou-.y, no child's j I i need be looked for; muters will be pros ecuted with the unatest possible v;gor. We are glad to see that ihe North i a unit upon the question of sustaining ihe Government. Republicans, Democrats, and Americans say that the hour for po litical speculation has passed. Civil war is upon us, and it is now the business of the Government to "pursue such a course as will most speedily and tdlectually si lence the trailers and re-establish the supremacy of law and order. The immor ial sentiment rf Stephen Decatur is the motto of ihe people "May my country ever de right; but riciit or WKO.NO, MY COUNTRY ALWAYS."
