citizens had indulged the hope that the

Federal Government and its authorities,
for the purpose of preventing bl u!hed.

mitttd to the m.t flagrant violations of

however, as rtceivtd. The conflict ai
Charleston a brought about by the
traitors who were nearly "playtd out,"
and it was necessary for them to do me
thinj.au l ih it quickly. ' Th.j Charleston
JI:rcury. a fev days before the outbreak,
said :
"The country is sinking into a fatal
apathy, and the spirit and even the patri
otism oi the people is -oozing out under
this do-nothing, policy. 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."
We quote the udlowing from the Co-,
lumbus Fait, a Breckenridge paper;
lVesidtiit I.inei!n i. called ujxn by the popular
vniei; to paui) n determined eour.e a course that
will mast ppeedily nnd most cfTeetunlly silenee th
vile traitor who would convert the hind of the fr-e
into a chattle mrt,and tli.j (jodd of liberty iitn
an nliganhie Jmrl it. It i now too lato to rnnid r
plan of pacific policy. The rebels have opened the
baltcrie. uf the fediTnl government iimn a I..y;il gar
rison, nnd for thi flagrant outrage, and in.nilt there
id no pnni-hiii' nf known to the annal ni' wariare t
summary or .erere. het the je"jle undvT-taud lit'
we have a government, by at on -o wiping i ut thi.
Southern rebellion, though if cost run th- ii-aud pat
riot live. There nro twenty million- of people in
theUuit 'd States who are ij"pd to the institution
of negro slavery, and as the aim and ii tmti n T

that institution, nnd even'ualiy to re-ipen tho Ari

and anxious to assist the ndmini-itrntioi) in any effort
to slay tlie march of so diitnuald-. an en'erpr;e.
Men wiio tolerated slavery as acompritiie ncce
sary to the union of tho States, will not be fouud
pandering to the base appetites of a Siaifhern oli
garchy, and it. is necessary thatc 'ftondom ho taught
this truth. Where there is no liberty there can be
no Democracy, and the great Democratic party that
establishea and maintained the uni.'n of' these
States thus far,will be found as a unit rallying un
der the bai.ncr handed down to a generation who
are taught to reverence Jefferson, and worship Wash
ington as the Father of hia country. I; i too la c.
now to inquire who or what unused the war. It, is.
or ought to bs, sufficient to know that war cxwts.
nnd by tho act of a band of rct-i-!. and traitor. The
frovernment is assailed and its stubiiify .md power
threa tened by an unscrupi-iloiis faction The isue
is between freedom and slavery, nnd. thn joinoj,
who 50 base a coward as dare doubt the result.
JeiT. Davis and his drunken minions
have inaugurated this uncalled for, ibis
unholy, this traitorous war. Now let the
peoji'e of this great and glorious country
say and act
"But, if midly bent on strife.

i Is there a n;an worthy the name cf an
American whose soul does not burn with
indignation at ihe deep insults so repeat
edly offered the National f.ag of late?
The damning blot' must be wiped out.

tocsin now sound from every hill and

their country, and " woe be to him who
shall attempt to withstand the tempest of
a nation's wrath." Let the Southern

In the first place he has attempted to
meddle with mUiers his sense of honor
ought to have forbidden him placing before
the public in print. In the next place he
has not only distorted but "fabricated"
in regard thereto; and lastly, has at
tempted to use it to the injury of a neigh
bor, who, if the whole was true, was in
no way connected, nor in any wise re
sponsii le.
We hope Bro. Reynolds will consent to
desist giving Brownville many more such
licks ;' the town might not survive them,
and beside, our people might, in the end.
