Troops have not been conzentrating there for so many days without a definite object, and it is manifest now what the purpose of government is. Baltimore is to be completely filled with froops, and Maryland is to be compelled to Bot like a State still in the Union. All the infor- mation which reached us up to a late hour last night plainly indicated that this is the policy of the government at Washington. Let us state the points of the latest news in brief. The greatest activity prevails in Southern Pennsylvania, seventeen thousand troops )eing in the field there at the present time. At Camp Scott, York, Pa., there are 6,000 men; at Camp Siffier, near Chambersburg, 2,600; at Camp Curtin, near Harrisburg, 4,000; two regiments from Ohio are quartered near Lancaster, and 1,200 United States regulars at Carlisle. Soat- tered at different points between Philadelphia, Eikton and Perrysville there are 6,000 more. Three thousand New Jersey troops are to march from Trenton to-day, which will constitute in all a force of over 20,000 men in that region, their dea- tination being undoubtedly for Baltimore, to open the route to the federal capital. On the south side of Baltimore are stationed at Annapolis a ~ cane so A Ave thousand men, in- cluding the Providence Marine arwaciry, waren loft Perrysville yesterday. The Sixth and Thirteenth New York regiments ocoupy a position directly opposite Annapolis, and the Sixty-ninth are at the Junction. It will thas be seen thet Baltimore is com- Pletely hemmed in on both sides with an ef. feotive force, which is to be immediately em- ployed in opening a passage through that city for the federal troops, and restoring free communication between the North and the capital of the republic. With this purpose Major General Keim, of Ponnsylvania, was ordered to leave Philadelphia yesterday, for the camp at York, with instructions to advance at once with an army of fifteen thousand men on Balti- more. If any resistance is offered, he will issue a prociamation announcing his intention to march his foree through tnat city, and warning the loyal citizens, the women and children, to leave, and will then cut his way through at all hazards. It ia probable, however, that the threat of visiting Baltimore with so severe a chastisemont will bring the resistants to their senses, and thus save the effusion of blood. Troops from the South continue to move north- wards in small bodies. North Carolina, it is said, though still in the Union, is prepared to furnish her quota to the army of the rebels. Bodies of men are advancing from Alabama and Georgia, whose destination is reported to be Lynch- burg, Virginia. There are at present eleven thousand men at Richmond; but itis stated by the papers of that city that the ultimate desti- nation of all the troops now moving from the Sonth is a great camp which is to be established at Dum- fries, on the banks of the Potomac—a town about thirty-five miles south of Alexandria. A very important movement has been made in Virginia, which threatens the division of that Btate on the secession question. The Western portion of the State goes strongly for the Union, and @ convention has been called to meet at Wheeling, to decide upon the subject of the secession of the Western portion from the Eastern, in which it is said every county west Of the Blue Ridge will be represented. It is signife Cant of the feeling of this part of the State that Hon. Mr. Clemens who was arrested at the Rich- mond Convention for his Union sentiments, was re- ceived in Wheeling with the utmost enthusiasm, on his return there. It is quite evident that Virginia is very far from being a unit on the question of secession from the Union. Even in Eastern Virgi- nia there is a strong feeling in favor of remaining faithful to the government and constitution, as we learn from the sentiments expressed by the owners and crews of the numerous schoon- era arriving here from the ports of Virginia. ‘The oystermen, who represent a large interest in the Virginia ports are ‘all naturally in favor of Temaining in the Union their principal trade being with the North, Governor Cartin, of Pennsylvania, in his mes. Gage delivered yesterday to the Legislatare in extra session, foreshadows the vigorous policy which the administration have decided upon with regard to Baltimore, the present condition of fe be tolorated; tat He says that Maryland is not wo hoslilg os cag | veloped in thick London fog. 2 4 YAM BAGUIVCEW MAREN FHOY Wer be permitted to stand between the Btateu and the federal capital, and that the timo for temporising is past. He announces on the part of the Pennsylvania banks that they have tendered any amount of money necessary for the defence of the state and the na- tion ; and he recommends that fifteen regiments of infantry and cavalry be raised, exclusive of those already calied into service by the Government. The Western States are acting with great promptitude in the crisis. The Legislature of Indiana granted an appropriation of half a million dollars yesterday through both houses for the maintenance of a volun- teer army. Four regiments are already nearly ready to march from this State, and six more are rapidly organizing. In Ohio 71,000 volunteers have offered themselves to Gov- ernor Dennison to fill up the thirteen regiments called for. In Missouri four regiments are en- rolled and equipped, and six more are in progress of organization. From Fortress Monroe we learn that there is no danger of its capture by any force that may be bronght against it. There are 2,000 troops there, and Colonel Dimmick entertains no fears whatever for the safety of this important post. From this sunimary of the latest information re- ceived from the theatre of war, it will be seen that everything-is going on favorably, and the greatest vigor marks the course of military movements on the part of General Scott, and the administration. The News. The steamship Adriatic, from Galway on the 23d ult., with two days later European advices, touched at St. Johns yesterday afternoon, en route for New York. The news is not important. A despatch from Paris states that Prince Na- poleon would demand satisfaction of the Duc de Aumale for the contents of the latter's recent pamphlet. A duel was anticipated. Great dis- tress prevailed in mercantile circles at Marseilles, involving the suspension of all the leading houses in the city. Further explanations took place between Gari- baldi and Count Cavour in the Italian Chamber of Deputies on the 20th ult. The former declared himself not satisfied with the explanations of the Ministry, and insisted upon the reorganization of the Southern army. The motion against the re- organization was then carried by a vote of 191 against 75. Affairs in Poland are unchanged. All the Rus- sian troops in Poland were concentrated in War- saw. The Liverpool cotton market continues active, at a slight advance froni previous quotations. Breadstuffs dull and quiet. Provisions steady. The London money market remained without change. ‘The Board of Supervisors yesterday received a communication from the Comptroller, stating that owing to the absence of Mr. Young, Clerk of this Board (who is now at Washington with the | Seventh regiment), no money could be paid from the county treasury, the name of the Clerk being necessary to countersign the checks. In order to obviate the difficulty, Mr. Purdy presented a reso- lution appointing Mr. Selmes, the First Assistant Clerk as Clerk to the Board, with power to sign warrants during the absence of Lieutenant Young. This was adopted. Another communi- cation from the Comptroller showed the balance in the county treasury to be $361,921 29. Super- visor Tweed offered a reeolation to the effect that ho ee mny eeeeenewe wee awuveene wy pay all War- rants for salaries signed by the Mayor and Comp- troller, and hold the same until properly signed by the Clerk. Major Anderson left the Brevoort House at an early hour yesterday morning for Fort Hamilton, where he was received by Brevet Major Oliver Sheperd and Captain Doubleday. He then in- spected & battalion of the Third infantry, United States troops, recently returned from Texas. In consequence of the severe cold with which the Major has been troubled for the last few days, ho was obliged to hand over the further inspection of the troops to Major Sheperd, and he returned to New York about four o’clock. Benj. Treadwell Onderdonk, Episcopal Bishop of the Eastern Diocess of New York, died at his residence, No. 35 West Twenty-seventh street, yesterday morning. A biographical sketch of the deceased is given in another column. Ex-members of the United States Army desiring toagain connect themselves with it will find an important communication in another column. Water was let into all the New York canals yesterday, and reports from all stations show that the canals are in excellent condition throughout. The case of the people against Andrew J. Hackley, indicted for criminal attempt in refusing to answer a question put by the GrandJury, was called yesterday in the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner, and was postponed forthe present, Mr. James T. Brady stipulating, on behalf of the de- fendant, that if the general term, which will be insession next Monday, decide on the habeas corpus in this same case that the Legislature have the right to compel an accused person to answer @ question which would criminate himself, the de- fendant would go before the Grand Jury and answer all questions. The cotton market was comparatively quiet yesterday Epinners were holding off, while the low rates of sterling exchange tended to check speculation. The sales em- braced 600 @ 800 bales, in lots, cloning at 13\c. « 14e. for middling uplands, with few, if any, even lote to be had | under the outaide figure. The receipts at the ports since | the Ist of September last, compared with the same period last yoar, show a decrease of 853,000 bales. The exports show @ decrease of 836,000 bales to Great Britain; an in- crease to France of 14,000 bales, and a decrease to other | foreign ports of 80,000; total decrease, 402,000 bales | Flour was heavy, especially State and Western brands, and closed from 6c. to 10c. per barrel lower. Wheat was heavy and lower, while sales were moderate. Corn was lees buoyant and active, and prices easier. Pork was dull and lower, with sales of mess at $18, and a sale for cash on the day was reported at $17 75; prime sold at $13 25813 $3735. Beef was firm and in fair demand, Svgare were in good refining demand ata low range of prices; the sales footed up about 2,000 bhdas., at rates given in another column. Coffee was | quiet and sales light; the stock comprised 62,275 bags, of which 48,031 wore Rio, and 1,100 mats of Java. Freights were heavy and lower, ospecially for Liverpool. Corn was taken at 6d., in bulk; whoat, in bags, at GJ. flour at 28. and tallow at 208. Tux Loxpoy Times wv a Foo.—Our readers may have observed, in yesterday's Henao, that the Thunderer of Printing House square is en- It calculates on peace, and thinks that the warlike intentions of President Lincoln will not be carried out into actual war, and that at present, there fore, it is not neoeseary for foreign nations “to remonstrate in the cause of humanity,”’ which, being properly interpreted, means the cause of cotton, and which implies that England and France will interfere “when the soll and seas of the New World are likely to be | with blood.” Mr. Surette geesiasgullenss- dent of the London 7%mes during the Crimean war, has come here to describe the civil strife in the United States; and, judging from the apparent apathy he witnessed in New York, he concluded there would be no war, and so in- formed the distingufehed organ of British opinion, pur wink will be gow sagt . ___ NEWYORK’ HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1,"'186L and what will the Tienes tay, when it is informed of the recent enthusisem of New Yorkt It is evident that Mr. Russell, at the time of writing, was in a Newfoundland fog, and we think he has likely to spend some years in this country before he knows the American people. He is clearly unacquainted with the characteristics of the clty of New York. We change here in a single day. The fall of Sumter set us all ina flame. But we are liable to change almost as suddenly again, just like the city of Paris, which wields the destinies of France. The Empire City controls the public opinion and the fate of the United States. If the government take the tide at the flood it will be borne on to fortune; if not, it may scon be left on the shoals a stranded wreck Already have we become apathetic; and if the Presi- dent and his Cabinet do not act with vigor be- fore the enthusiasm has ¢ime to ebb, the oppor- tunity will be lost forever, and the next great enthusiasm may be started by some dashing event in a very different direction, The Concentration of the Government Forces im and Around Washingioa— What Next Should Be Done? Within the next ten days there will be con- centrated in Washington, and within a ra- dius of forty miles from it,an army of full fifty thousand men, drawn together from all parties all sects, and all nationalities of the loyal States, for the defence and maintenance of our Capitol and our government against rebellion and anarchy. From this overwhelming manifestation of Northern patriotism our federal authorities will be encouraged and instructed to adopt a plan of military operations not limited to the local de- fence of Washington, but extending to the re- covery of all “the forts, places and property which have been seized from the Union,” in ull the revolted States, beginning with the quasi secessionists of Virginia. In the meantime we are free to conjecture that General Scott will have reduced the mob of Baltimore to law and order; that some portions of the forces un- der his command, as a base of operations, will occupy that city; that they will control all the now disputed highways of Maryland, and that the loyal and substantial people of that State, rising from the terrors of mob law, will restore her to the safe anchorage of the Union. Thus we expect that the immediate field of hostile operations, within ten days, will be transferred from Maryland to the south side of the Potomac river. And what then? We are not, and do not ask to be, informed of the military programme of the government in advance of its developement. We are con- tent to follow the movements of Gen. Scott His military experience, sagacity and resources have proved him to be equal to all emer- gencies. His movements, however, are subject to the President and his Cabinet, and they should be careful to be guided by an over- wholming public opinion. Taking this public sentiment as our guide, although we cannot say what will next be done after Maryland has been persuaded to fall back under the shelter of the Union, we can say what should be done. The twenty days’ grace of the President’s pro- clamation of the 15th of April will expire on the 5th instant; and having expired, the gov- ernment should detail a competént body of freee: sarees Ch name, ite Mhemanf, ot Taeparla Rorry the or Fu Norfolk Navy Yard, ané the fede =r at Alexandria and Richmond se in the name of the State of Virginia. We consider it of the highest importance, too, that all this should be done within the interval to the 23d of May. On that day, in a State election, the people of Virginia are to determine upon the ratification or rejection of the ordinance and other secession arrange- ments lately entered into by their State Con- vention. Under the continued reign of that secession terrorism which coerced the Conven- tion into the service of the revolutionists, the loyal Union sentiment of the State will be suffocated; but with the secessionists humbled in their strongholds, their prestige and their power over the people will be broken, and the Richmond ordinance of a bloody and disas- trous rebellion to Virginia will be rejected, and the State will be saved. It is of the utmost importance, therefore, to silence the secessionists of Virginia before the 23d of May; for thus, and only thus, we believe, will the Union sentiment of the State be encouraged to rise and indignantly reject the spurious and and held ruinous despotism of the Confederate revolted States. The public mind of Virginia is extensively inflamed with the pernicious notion that the only safety of the State against the abolition designs of the amti-slavery administration at Washington ® ® fly into the arms of the pro-slave@y government at Mont- gomery. Thus the secessionists have been carrying everything before then by de- nouncing the government at Washington as an abolition usurpation of power, and by denouncing and pursuing all its supporters as abolitionists and traitors to the South. It is the duty of the government to undeceive the people of the South in this matter, State by State, beginning with Virginia. In his seasona- ble speech delivered at the war meetiag of the ladies of this city, at the Cooper Institute, on Monday last, Mr. Vice President Hamlin said:— “ We have differed in opinions upon the passing questions of the hour; but they are passed and are a sealed book. Let the dead bury the dead: We are to-day forgetful of the past. We live with the stirring present around us.” “ These are stir- ring times, and now we must test the question whether we have a government or not;” and “there is no other course to pursue now but the vindication of the integrity of the govern- ment under which we live.” Tn these few passages from the speech of the Vice President the policy of the President of the United States is disclosed. It is to main- tain,” the integrity of the government.” The Chicago platform—the republican party—with All the electioneering anci-slavery clap-trap of the last Presidential campaign, are abolished cast out and buried from our sight in this crisis, ‘The issue now is botween goverament and an. archy; and the only way whereby Virginia, for example, can be saved from the bottomless pit of anarchy is te festore ber and her institution of slavery to the protection of the government. She may be saved by the moral suasion of a powerful Union army within her borders, in season to humiliate the secession rabble of Richmond, Norfolk and Alexandria, and in season to bring out her loyal Union majority in full force at her approaching election. Otherwise she may be doomed to ruin froma hostile invasion, destroying her*substaace, her people and her cherished in-'itutions like a Cee ky Tum DownvaLt or Apo.trionin.—The an- niversaries of the abolition society, usually held im May, have been, this year, iade- finitely postponed. They dare not convene, in the face of public sentiment, aroused to put down sectionaliam and treason, ia whatever shape it may present itself. Abvliviosists have labored, unceasingty, at the task of destroying the Union, for thirty years. They have taught that the constitution of the Usited States, ts “a league with hell and a covenant with death;” that slavery is a “orime,” a “ourse,” 4 “gin,” and “the sum of all villanies.”’ They sanctioned the murders of John Brown; ranked him in their writings and speeches as second only to Jesus Christ; and have looked forward with exultation to the period when insurrec- tions should bring upon the South “fire, rapes and slanghter.” From the hour whoa South Carolina seceded, they have unceasingly pro- claimed, with Wendell Phillips—‘Disunion is honor, disunion is gain.” They have heaped scorn and insult upon more moderate free soil- ers, who have entertained a hope that the in- tegrity of the republic might ba preserved, and, if they had had the power, would have treated them as the Mountain did the Jacobins in the French Revolution. The time of terrible retribution is rapidly approaching. The sublime but indignant spirit of the great Union which fs about to sweep away rebellion from the Southern States, is no less aroused against those who by a long series of provecations excited them to revolt. Abolition will hang on the same tree with re- bellion. If Southern revolution has created such an outburst of armed enthusiasm through- out the land, the more crafty, cowardly aboli- tion of the North which conjured it into being is no less condemned. The thunder of the batteries which oponed their fire,on the 12th of April, against Fort Sumter, annihilated the power and influence of abolition. For all practical purposes, in the United States, it fell dead there, as a political influence. The spontane- ous uprising of the masses of loyal citizens, in all parts of the North, which the inauguration of hostilities by General Beaure- gard occasioned, was not directed against the South alone. The people were actuated by one thought, one feeling; mamely, the s0- lemn resolve, that the integrity and unity of the republic should evolve out of the present chaos, and that no toleration should, hence- forth, be shown to any class of individuals, by whom they may be endangered. The Massachusetts school of politics, is the most pernicious and destructive, that ever has arisen in our history. Out of it, sprang the fire-eating opposition of the South, and the insurrectionary elements which culminated in the conspiracy of Jeffer- son Davis and his asseciates, and the seizure of those places and properties which it has become the duty of government to retake. Its day of mischief has gone by. It dare not assume a conspicuous position new, and it will never venture to do so hereafter. The aboli- tion meetings of the Anti-Slavery Society, heretofore held in the month of May in this great metropolis, are henceforth postponed forever and a day. Tue Ovrrir or tHE VoLunteERs.—We were shown & specimen of the blankets now being fu to the troops. The one referred to belongs to a member of Colonel Hawkins’ New York Zouave regiment, and is of the poorest and cheapest quality. It is made of coarse material, and filled with chips, straw and chaff. We have no doubt that any owner of a horse would possess mora humanity and more regard for his beast than to furnish him with such an article of clothing. The mat- ter certainly needs looking to by the Commis- sary Department. Tur Incenptany Press axp Irs Errecrs.—If there be one thing more than another calcula- ted to prevent the newly awakened military enthusiasm of the North from reaping its legi- timate fruits it is the atrocious character of the articles published by the leading republican journals of this city—the Tribune, the Times and the Courier and Enquirer. The injurious effect is twofold—first, as re- yards the North; and secondly, touching the South. The tendency in the North is undoubt- edly to stimulate the worst passions of fana” ticism, to incite the love of plunder, and to render the war barbarous and cruel be- yond all precedent. It is propoged to exter- minate the Southern people; to lay waste their property by fire and sword; to arm the negroes and let them loose upon their masters; and finally, to take the lands of the planters and colonize them with the invading army. The atrocities involved in such a war as this no tongue or pen cam describe. The effect of these announcements upon every honest and good man at the North who does not belong to the sect of the Roundheads will be to chill his ardor and to divide the Northern people, who are now thoroughly united. The effect upon the Southern mind can only be to steel it to the most deadly hatred and the most desperate resistance; for if no quarter is to be given and no mercy shown, then the Southern people will fight while there is a weapon left and an arm to wield it. The Union sentiment will be utterly crushed out, and instead of a short and decisive war, we shall have a long, a tedious, and it may be, in its final results, an unsuo- cessful war. This war is not undertaken for such bloody and unjust purposes as those an- nounced. The President, in his inaugural address, declared his object was to pro- tect property, and not to destroy—in a word, to respect and defend the constitational rights of all. It isa war to maintain the con- stitution, to enforce the federal laws, and to preserve the Union in its integrity; to put an end to the reign of terror at the South, and to permit the Union sentiment to speak out. But the war proposed by the incendiary press of New York involves tenfold greater evils than those It professes to cure, and it would at once and forever extinguish the Union sentiment in every Southern heart; and then farewell for- over to the Union which has evoked all our enthusiasm, aod has rallied around the flag the whole North, without distinction of party. The idea of those at the North who are now sul the war is that it is to be con- ducted upon the principles of modern civiliza- tion and humanity, and not with a barbarism and fiendish vengeance unparalleled by the savago- ry ot the red men of the wilderness. Only let the Puritanical idea of the war prevail, and very soon the fanatics will find that outside of theie own faction there will not be a corporal’s guard ig musta dle wuddabuaiva Tae ce © Publican prees of New York are outhoroding Hered, leaving far benind both Garrison and Phillipa, who, with all their fansticism, have senee encugh to eee that the base, bloody and brutal ferocity of these journals most produce reaction and do irreparéble injury to their own cance, which would be s happy result, were it not that at the same time the cause of the Union may be defeated by the intemperance of an inzane abolitioniam, which incessantly thirets and criee for “blood, blood, blood!” Faasu Evrorsan Compuioations.—The dis- turbances at Warsaw have interrupted, if they have not put an end altogether to, the entente cordiale that existed between the Cabinets of the Tuileries and St. Petersburg. From a communication said to have been recently made to the French Ambassador by the Rus sian Minister of Foreign Affsire in reference to the Eastern question, is would appear that Rus- sia suspects France of having secretly fomented the troubles in Poland. If this be so it will give an eutirely new shape and direction to the alliances of the continental governments in autcipation of the impending conflict be- tyeen Ituly and Austria, There will probably be a rapprochement between the latter and Rus- sia, affording Austria an opportunity of pay- ing back the important services which she re- ceived trum Russia in 1848, < The troubles in Poland would not be in themselves sufficient to justify the apprehen- | sions manifested by the Russian government, were they not complicated with another danger. It is notorious that the eman- cipation of the serfs has not been accepted by the Russian nobility with that complacency which the government orgars are pleased to ascribe to them. The majority only see in the measure a fatal blow struck at their interests, and they are accord- ingly animated bya spirit of discontent and revolt, which will find vent in some outbreak or other. It is not improbable that the riofs in Warsaw and other places have been secretly instigated by them, and that with a view, not of helping the Poles, but of embarrassing the government and enabling them to organize a great reactionary movement, having the resto- ration of the old order of things and the depo- sition of Alexander for their objects. Should a revolution of this sort break out in Russia, it would either throw her back half a century, or confer upon her at once the blessings of consti- tutional institutions, by compelling the govern- ment to appeal to the masses for support. Fortran MEDIATION IN AMERICAN QUARRELS.— The London Times throws out an intimation that England only awaits the commencement of hos; tilities between the North and South to offerher good offices tor the reconcilement of the differ- ences between them. We are much obliged for the intention; but the time is not yet arrived for us to be reduced to the necessity of calling in fo- reign aid for the arrangement of our domestic dif- ficulties. We can settle our quarrels after our own fashion, and without any officious interfer- ence on the part of the European governments. There is a curious coincidence between this sug- gestion of the London Times and the proposition of Governor Hicks for a reference of the diffi- culty to the decision of Lord Lyons. The English government would, no doubt, like nothing better than to act as arbiter in a con- test which so vitally affects its commercial in- terests. It knows but little, however, of the character and temper of the people of the Northern States if it supposes that they would brook for a moment any foreign intermeddling in their affairs. Great Britain herself would flercely resent any attempt on the part of another Power to interpose between her and the punishment of rebellion in any part of her dominions. We of the North have too much of her blood and spirit to patiently submit to such impertinent interference. No, our diffi- culty with the South is past all cure by poli- ak diplomats.
