Everything appears to go on favorably at the seat of war. The Northern troops in Washington are in gocd health and spirits. The Fifthregiment of Pennsyivania and the Massachusetts regiments attended divine service yesterday in the Hail cf - Representatives, the bands supplying the sacred music on the occasion. The stermer City of Rich- mond, plying between Richmond and Philadelphia, waa seized at the former port on the 18th, anda force of Virginia troops placed on board; but the captain subsequently obtained her release from Governor Letcher, and she arrived at Philadelphia yesterday, with the crews of the New York steam. ers Jamestown and Yorktown, 60 men, and 120 passengers. Large bodies of troopsare said by the Richmond papers to be raising in all parts of Virginia and North Carolina, that batteries are being erected at Portsmouth Hospital and Craney ‘sland, mounted with Dablgren guns, and that five volun- teer ponies from Georgia had arrived at Porte- movth. The ladies of Virginia, it appears, are ioilowing the example of their sisters at the North, in manufacturmg uniforms and clothing for the soldiers, Twelve thousand troops in all had reached Annapolis from the North up to Saturday, and it isstated that no more volunteers will be ordered unless they are fully equipped for service. Tt would or that the preparations to receive the troops ab Annapolis were very imperfect, and had weather been very mild, they would have As it was, a thousand of them had cd muc to vin the open air on Vriday night, and al- though there is abundance of provisions the com was so badly managed that some of t c without food for twenty-four bovrs. The Tenth Company of the Massachusetts Kighth regiment, under Captain Briggs, made a bold ev p + on Friday night. hey started for Baltimore in a Bteamtug, ent out the receiving ship Alleghany, ‘ying in the harbor, and anchore 4 her safely under the sheltering gans of Fort McHenry. The road from Annapolis to Washington is well protected by government troops, large bodies of men being posted at intermediate stations, so as l attacks of the secessionists and keep for our troops to the capital. to repel a the way Geueral Butler, of the Massachusetts forces, *tys that there is a musket guarding every rail between Annapolis and Washington, s0 that the communication with Washington may be considered intact. Meantime the Super- intendent of the railroad has been arrested for toking up the rails. The President ordered the Secretary of War to take possession of the road from the Junction to Annapolis, and the road from Maltimore to York, Pa., known as the Northern and Central road. There appears to be « panic among the residents of Annapolis, aris- ny from its oceupation by the federal army, for half the population are said to have left the city. Valtiinore and Washington are reported by tra- Vellers from thove cities to be perfectly quiet, and the regula lines of steamers are beginning to ply between the neighboring places. We learn trom Vhiladeiphia that a proposition to act As arbitrators in the quarrel between the North and South has beon made by Mr. C. J. Inger. aoli, of that city, (0 the five ex-Presidents—Bu- chananan, Pierce, Fillmore, Tyler andVan Baren— from which fossil court of arbitration, we need bardly say, nothing is to be expected. Little more of importance reached us from the seat of War yesterday, ‘The News, FP et Saar: under the command of , leave the yesterday, 8s announced, in consequence By not being fully armed and equipped. Large dolega- tions of the Fire Departments of this city, Brook- lyn and Jersey City, assembled to take leave of their comrades, but from the cause above stated wore disappointed. It is now positively announced that they will leave for the seat of war to-day. Mr. C. J. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, has suggest- ed that Ex-Presidents Buchanan, Pierce, Fillmore, ‘Tyler and Van Buren, become arbitrators to settle ie existing difficulties between the North and jonth, By a despatch from Annapolis we learn that on Saturday night the Tenth Company of the Eighth Massachusetts regiment, in a steamtug, cut out the receiving ship Alleghany in Baltimore harbor, and placed ber under the guns of Fort McHenry. The war was the topic discussed in every pulpit of the city yesterday, and the clergy of all deno- minations, in their prayers, offered up a petition that the horrors of war might be softened, if not averted. In consequence of the pressure upon our columns, we are compelled to exclude all the reports of sermons. Rev. Mathew Hale Smith, Chaplain of the Twelfth regiment, who went with the regiment, and returnéd in the Baltic, preached in the chapel Thirty-fourth street and Broadway. Impressive religious services were held at the camp, in Castle Garden, yester- day. Among the preachers on the war was the Key. James Freeman Clarke, of Boston, before the Second Unitarian Congregational Society, at the chapel, corner of Clinton and Congress streete. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher preached a sermon in favor of sustaining the Union and constitution. In stirring terms he called upon his congregation to uphold the government, and suggested that the Plymouth Church volunteers should be effectively armed with revolvors. We have advices from St. Domingo ratifying the intelligence already published of the cession of the territory of the late republic to the Crown of Spain. Great excitement prevailed in Hayti in consequence of the action of Spain, and the Haytien government had protested against what is termed the icnovation of Spain. It was feared that Spain would be demanding all territory acquired in conquest by the Heytiens from the Dominicans during the last fifteen years; and in that case the Haytiens will re: to the death. We also have our correspondenve from Cuba, but the letters contain no news of importance. Dy the arrival of the schooner Muphemia, Cap- tain R. A. Bayley, we have advices from Porto Rico to the Mth inst. The market for provisious was abundantly supplied; lumber and coopers’ stuff also. Produce in much demand, and prices slightly advancing. Pianters were anticipating more favorable news from the United States. Su- gars mey be quoted at $5 37 a $1 25. Molasses $14 per 110 gallons. Coffee, $12 50a $13. Freights fer the United States dull; for Europe in great de- mand, £4 having been paid for the last charters. Exchange as per last advices. 500 troops had been taken from Ponce, per war steamer Herman Cortez, on the 12th, for St. John, Porto Rico, to replace those sent to St. Dominge. But little en- thusiasm was manifested. . The cotton market continued quite firm on Saturday, and a gpeculotive feeling continued to be manifested, The sales embraced about 3,000 bales, closing stiff on the basisef 12%c. a lie. for middling uplands, with little or xe to be had of that grade, classed as even lots.

The Coming Campaign. The intelligence which is daily received | from the seat of government, shows that the | administration is alive to the responsibility of | the task it has undertaken, and that the plans for the campaign which is about openiag, have | been formed with mature wisdom, and will be | carried ont with promptness and vigor. The | war is, practically, in the hands of General | Scott. \ge has not obscured the intellect, or | paraly~d ihe energies, of the veteran hero; | | | and, undér bis auspices, there is no doubt that the “places and properties,” of which pos- session has heen usurped by rebels and traitora, will be recovered, ere the lapse of many monte. Immense efforts are evidently | being made. in every section of the North, to ; concentrate a large any upon the border State | frontier, as speedily as possible. Levies of | troop: » .l not be confined to seventy-five thou- sand mc: but, if requisite, a force of three times that number, will be in the field, before the end of another month. Revolt in Maryland will be crushed out at once, and the safety of the national capital will be insured, by the oo- cupation of every approach to it in Virginia. it begins to be doubted by many, whether the boasts meade by Jefferson Davis and his associates, that a Southern army would ad- vance upon Washington, ever amounted to anything more than empty braggadocio. How- ever this may be, the District of Colnmbia is secure from atiack, now. There are troops enough there, to repulse any foree which could be made available in that direction, and, with the thousands that will be added to their num ber, before the close of this week, it will be practicable for the administration to begin to act in the aggressive. That a blow should be struck, at the earliest possible moment, there is no doubt. Rebellion must be put dowa, where it hes achieved its successes, Battles may be gained or lost, in the outset; but defeat, on either side, will instigate to new appeals to the fortune of war, and with the superiority in numbers and pecuniary meuns, possessed by the North, there can be no doubt what the re- sult will be in the end. Napoleon was wont to remark, of Austria, that she derived new strength from her reverses—that the Emperor had but to stamp his foot and legions sprang out of the ground. Were the South fortunate enough, againat all expectation and probability, to gain victories, at the commence- ment of the war, neither the courage, nor the confidence of the people in the non-slave- holding States, would flag for an instant. The class of population which is recruiting, in our large cities, the regiments forming for service, in behalf of the Union, can never be perma- nently worsted. Momentary repulse would goad them to frenzy. They are ignorant of fear, and their numbers can be increased, indefi- nitely, from the ranks which send them forth to battle. They will display a characteristic, des- perate, ferocious bravery, unequalled, unless in the annals of the Zouave battalions of Paris. They will pour down upon the villages and cities of Virginia and Margland, and leave a iii eee eee St £2 TU XACMOM MATE BROT WaK ~NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, arm, 29, 1861. Sesotate track behind them, and inspire terror in whatever vicinity they approach. Boetoa, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Albany, New York alone, could supply a quarter of a million such devouring locusts of war, who would be enough, unaided, to secure the restoration of the Union to its pristine integrity. ‘The accounts which arrive from the Western and Northern States, demonstrate that the agri- cultural States of the republic, are not behind their Eastern brethren, in zeal for the great patriotic cause. One heart and one soul in- spires the public mind everywhere; and the despatches from the War Department which are daily passing through this metropolis, to the dif- ferent Governors of States, show that the activity of General Scott is untiring, and that an over- whelming manifestation of military strength, is on the eve of being made. There is every reason to hope that a bold, short, decisive cam- paign is in prospect; that, with an efficient blockade of the Southern coast, an invasion of the rebellious States on the frontier, and the occupation of the whole line of the Mississippi, insurrection and disobedience of the laws, will be put an end to before the lapse of six months; and that, at such cost as the exigencies ef the period demand, the country wil! very soon be restored to the prosperity and tran- quillity which it enjoyed one year ago. The Salutary Effects of the War. All are disposed to recognise the disastrous effects of war, particularly of civil war, in those States which become the theatre of action. But the ultimate beneficial influences of war to society are for the most part over- looked in its present devastations and horrors. In the wise arrangements of Providence war seems to be a necessity—the result of a natu- ral law for the preservation of society—just as much as storms and tempests, and whirlwinds and thunder, are the results of natural laws, and purify the atmosphere and render it salu- brious to man and beast, while partially de- structive to both. Partial evil is univereal good. Without war society would become stagnant and corrupt, just as would the sir we breathe without the agitation of the winds. Without war and the sufferings which it en- tails man would degenerate. Without war pa- triotism and heroism would die out from want of food. Without war society would be- come steeped in luxury and effemi- macy, and the fighting element in the population, instead of being directed against a foreiga foe, would be turned in upon itself, producing faction, and tarbulence and dis- order, or it would be sure to prey npon the peaceful and orderly portion of the com- munity. For half a century there has been no war on this soil, while our growth and prosperity have advanced too rapidly for health. Young Awerica, North and South, was becoming almost spoiled for want of a fight. Had a foreign war sprung up it would have saved the country from the affliction of a civil war. and it would have had the effect of uniting the people from Maine to Texas aa one man. The statesmen of Europe find it absolutely necessary to engage in war in order to preserve law and order, and to prevent continual insurrection and reyo- lution. The combative, quarrelsome elemebt is removed from society and set apart, under a separate martial government, and the severest discipline, to encounter a similar element sepa- rated from the mass of the people in another nation. Mutual destruction is the result, to the great benefit and tranquillity of both nations. The governments of Europe are seldom at a loss for a pretext for war; but they would invent one rather than let a discontented population, impatient for activity, prey upon property, subvert law and order, and embark in schemes of rebellion. In the case of the United States there was no cause for discontent among the people, and war could not result from poverty. The chief cause of the present war is excessive prosperity. All were too happy and too well off—too much fullness of blood. A little phlebotomy is necessary t relieve the nation of its plethora. Foreigu nations would not attack us, because it was not their interest to do so. As we could get no- body else to fight with us, we must pitch into each other, and emburk in a semi-civil war, rather than have no war at all to gratify the fighting propensity. When both sections bave tried each other's mettle in a few battles, and both have suffered sufficiently from mutual extermination, then perhaps peace may be restored, and the belli- gerents may become better friends than ever, both having good reason to admire the pluck and coursge of each other. The South in par- tienlar seems to pe “ blue moulded for want of a beating d will never be satisfied of the warlike prowess of the North till it has felt its blows on the battle field. After that it may return to reason, and both sections may be- come one nation again, waited in the bonds of mutual interest and regpect for each other's tights—abolitionism and secession | ing put down together, and North and South, Kast and West, ceasing forever to be the designa- tions of party or the synonyms of sectional animosity. The effect of this war will be ¢ party polities and its corruptic aod the country wifl come out of the fire like gold purified of its dross, better and brighter than ever, while the chastisement will suitice for the next half century, and the star of empire will continne to shine brightly in the West, the adiniration and the hope of the human race in the worn out nations of the Old Wo consume Revetats vor THe Eyvasiox oy Wasutwa- TON.—The secessiouists are threatening to cap- ture Washington, and seeking to force Mary- land out of the Union. if they persist in this game there will be terrible reprisals taken on them The North do not wish to subjugate a single square mile of the South, but the North will not ouly not permit Maryland to secede, but will make it the battle ground against the Southern revolutioniats, Washington must be held nader all cireum- stances. The Northern people never will consent to the sarrenderof the commandof the Cheas- peake to the Confederate States. Ou the contra- ry, the invaders must be driven back, not only beyond the Potomac, but beyond the Roan- oke; so thatthe attemptto take Washington will recoil upon themselves, and the reign of terror established in Virginia in driving out Union men will be avenged by the lows of her territory and the shearing of her strength. Soon will there be sucha force concentrated at Washington that i! will be hopeless to attack i.; and that force will be swficient to overawe Maryland, at the same time that it will present ® living, impregnable wall against invasion from the South. If Virginia, therefore, em- barks in the dangerous entarprise of invading Washington and revolutionizing Maryland, ase will have her wings clipped in such a way as she never expected. The spirit of the Norte is aroused. Extavstastic Parzionmsm or tag Norta— Frea Wo. Ovrennas vox Tax Expresses oF ae War.—We publish in another column a ta- ble which proves more convincingly than any- thing else can do how much the patriotic fecl- ing of the North is engaged in the present struggle. It is a statement of the amounts con” tributed by legislatures, corporations, societies, and individuals, in sums of $1,000 and upwards, as free will offerings to the government in aid of the war. These are entirely independent of loans from States or capitalists, and are abso- lute gifts, entailing no future obligations or responsibilities on the country, It should be added that the list is far from complete, snd in cludes only such contributions as we have been able to hunt up from our files. Neither does it represent the sum total in each locality, as the subscriptions are still being actively carried on. The aggregate amount, as thus presented is $11,239,000, of which New York city gives $2,165,000, and our State Legisiature $3,000,000 And all this has been subscribed since the 15th of the present month, Large as the amount is, however, it is far from representing the extent of the free will offerings made to the government by the North in the brief interval which has elapsed since the rebels commenced the war. Of sums below a thousand dollars aubecribed by private indi- viduals, and of which no mention is made in the statement to which we refer, it is no ex_ aggeration to set down the aggregate at $5,000,000. If we take the average expendi- ture of each volunteer of the 250,000 men who are now @rilling and under arms in the free States at $10, it will give us a further amount of $2,500,000. Besides these sums we may put down $5,000,000 more for the contribu- tions made by families towards the more com- fortable outfit and equipment of such of their members a8 have taken up arms in defence of the naticnal flag. And of casual sums given on the spur of the moment to applicants need- ing aid, in rifles, money or clothing, and of which no notice bas been taken, the total is pro- bably not far ehort of another $5,000,000+ These different amounts thus figure up:— Contributions of $1,000 and upwards Contributions below $1, Experditure of volunteers (310 each) Contributions of families to outfit... Caguai centributions in money and clothing. TORAL. ..seeeeeesseesserecencencenere vene $28,739,000 Making an aggregate of nearly twenty-nine millions of dollars spontaneously donated to. the government in less than a fortnight! Could the people of the South but have foreseen this wonderful unanimity of feeling and patriotic self devotion on the part of the North, it is safe to assume that the national flag would still have been left floating over Fort Sumter. What a contrast do we find to all this energy and earnestness in the fact that of the first in- stalment of $5,000,000 of the $15,000,000 Con- federate loan, issued more than two months since by the rebel government, only eight millions were bid. ‘This does not show that the heart of the South is as thorough- ly with the action of the Montgomery government. as it is represented to be. Here all classes are prepared to contribute to the Jast dollar of their resources, not for pur- poses of vengeance or extermination, but for the sustainment of those glorious institu- tions the influence of which has done so much for human freedom all over the world. q Tar Doran Scnscererion ror THE Vouvn- tesns.—A listis now open at this office for subscriptions in small sums, from a dollar up- wards, in aid of the volunteer regiments and the families of the gallant fellows who are offering their services to the government in the field, from those who caanot aiford to con- tribute more largely.
