We guess that the corps of Longstreet, which is said to em- brace one-half of Lee’s whole force, extends from Chambersburg to Hagerstown, a distance of about twenty miles; that A. P.

A Yorwrs or Jury Orator Wayten—Ora- ave usually been very plentiful on the Fourth of July hitherto; but this year Tam- many Hall, the mother ef so many spouting politicians, is sadly in want of an orator. It appears that the sachems of that venerable inetitution made a sort of engagement with Coverror Seymour to address them on the birthday our liberties; but somebody w up to Albany and persuaded the Governor to speak at the Academy of Music This nice little arrangement, which the sachems have only recently discovered, has yiaced poor Tammany in # peculiarly perplex- ing predicament. The Fourth of July is near hand. Seymour is engaged for the Aca- my. It is too late to secure an oration from anybody else.

We want deeds, not words, for present use, re bas been a it deal too much talk and too little action already. mon spent in Fourth of july celebrations might be much more profitably sapere in raising re- ernits to give usa Fourth of July celebration in fatuee. Let Tammany Hall leave speech- makina and ~~ make this Fourth of July memorable by doing something for country The Awful Condiiion of the Country Who Are Responstbie? Three years ago this countey was the envy of the world. Thirty uillions of people of all classes, conditions, religion# and nativities were living happily together under the freest government upon the face of the earth. The poor and the oppressed of all nations found a refuge upon our shores, Our flag was known and respected in every land and oa every sea. Our commerce bore to distant climes the pro- ducts of our soil and of our manufactures, and brought us in exchange all the comforts and Faxuries we could desire. To be an American citizen was so great an honor thateven the aristocrats of Europe showed us especial favors and treated our representatives with distin- guished consideration. We had just sent France her Emperor and Italy her Liberator, after having received and protected these illustrious exiles. The future King of England had visit- ed us to see for himself the supreme greatness and happiness of a free people under a govern- ment of their own choice. Peace, contentment and prosperity at home—admiration, envy and honor abrond—in these words is pictured the condition of the United States three years ago. ‘To-day one half the country is in rebellion against the government. Three hundred thou- sand American soldiers are arrayed against each other around the national capital. The loyal armies are destroying publie and private property at the South,;and the rebel armies are invading and devastating the North. The flames of burning towns and villages are answered by the red glare of burning ships. | Our commerce is almost totally destroyed, and what is left of it has abandoned our flag and sougbt safety beneath the British ensign. Rebel pirates infest the seas, ravaye our coasts and dare to enter our harbors. Fiity millions of doilars worth of property was destroyed or captured in Maryland and Pennsylvania last week, and our losses elsewhere are double that sum. Thousands of brethren who lived in ami- ty and peace three years ago have since been slain by fratricidal hands and now sleep be- neath the sod. The national currency has de- preciated until gold is at an enormous pre mium, The necessaries of lite command ex- travagant prices. Our manufactures have ceas- ed almost gntirely in some sectious of the country, and in others are keptin feverish ac- tivity only by the demands of the war. In one of our largest cities business is suspended that the citizens may arm to meet the rele! invasion. Peculation, embezzlement and corruption are rioting in official circles. A few hundreds of men without souls are becoming amazingly rich, while the masses of the people suffer. Our statesmen have degenerated into scheming, thieving politicians. The national debt, already large, is daily and hourly increased by war ex penditures, and knavish hands are diligently engaged in robbing the Treasury in a thousand ways. Such is the awful condition of the repub- lic. Who are responsible? Thirty years ago a few fanatics began the agitation about the negro. Itisnowa matter of history that, if this agitation had not oc- curred, slavery would have died a natural death in most of the Southern States, as it did in New York, New Jersdy and elsewhere. These fanatics came originally from New England. It was believed in olden times that Boston and its vicinity was under the curse of God for its Pu- ritanical persecutions. With this curse the New England fanatics bave infected the nation. After preparing the way by tracts, lectures and sermons, the abolition faction dragged the negro into politica, The Southern slavebolders resented this attempt to deprive them of their property. The extremists of both sections joined hands in the infamous work of dividing and destroying the country. Through its successive stages, like some foul disease, this abolition conspiracy against the Union can be traced by the impartial historian. All sorts of remedies were attempted; but all failed, be- cause they were merely temporary and did not aim at the extermination of the disorder. The great men of the nation passed away, uttering fearful warnings of impending danger. At last the crisis came: A set of unscrupulous’ poli- ticians gave the abolitionists the opportunity they desired, and a sectional party seized the reins of government. Goaded to madness by the inflammatory appeals of Southern fire-eat- ers, cne slave State after another left the Union. The abolitionists encouraged and applauded this movement and trampled under foot all proposals for reunion. Awed by the patriotic outburst of the people when Sumter was at- tacked, the fanatics at firat acquiesced in the war for the Union; but, having control of the government, they soon managed to transform the contest into a war against slavery. Led on by Sumner, Wade, Wilson, Chandler, Greeley, Cheever, Garrison, Wendell Phillips and other such madmen, the abolitionists rejected all means of conciliation and endeavored to crush out every spark of U:tion sentiment at the South. Their threats, speeches, resolutions and acts of Congress at last culminated in emanci- pation proclamations. The constitution of the United States was torn to tatters. The South was united and the North divided. Our best generals were removed because they would not subscribe to the abolition creed. Victory then left our banners and perched upon the rebel standard. The war is no longer a war to subdue ihe secessionists or to annihilate the slaveholders, but a bitter strug- gle for the existence of the nation. For all this the abolitionists are responsible. Their leaders still walk in high places and fill their pockets from the national Treasury, and their journals are still supported by official patron- age and government contracts; but the end of these things is at hand. Cowed by the infernal atorm they have raised, these fanatics now cry ont for help against ‘ne rebel invasion, and preach that the duty of the hour is to forget the past and save the country. This delusive call has been heard once too often. The duty of the hour is to remember and to punish. First, let the rebels be defeated and driven | back, and then, without hesitation or delay, let those Northern abolition traitors who are re- sponsitfie for the rebellion and for the success it has achieved be held to a strict and final ac- count.

The Army and the Designs of General LeemA Gr Political Revoletion im Any Event, There is no longer any mystery in regard to the main object of this Northern campaign of General Lee. His movements are 80 manifest- ly intended to draw out, divide and cut to pieces our Army of the Potomac, and then to descend upon Washington, that all conjectures of a probable campaign on his part in any other direction may be judiciously dismissed. The simplest theory of his prograrame is the capture of Washington, and with this achieve- ment the dictation of # peace upon the basis of ® Southern confederacy, through the interven- tion of England and France. Our Baltimore correspondent, however, in his letter, which we publish to-day, advanees the opinions that Lee contemplates not only the capture, but the per- manent occupation, of Washington; that, once firmly established in our national capital, he will not dictate the peace of a Southern con- federacy, but the reconstruction of the Union, somewhat after the fashion of General Monk’s suppression of the Puritan Commonwealth of England and the restoration of the old mon- arcby. But our correspondent, in showing how Washington may be captured and per- manently occupied by General Lee, has forgotten one very important item of resistance which completely demolishes his calculations. He has forgotten that from the Potomac river and the Eastern branch every part of Washington may be shelled by the Union gunboats; that the river is open below, ‘and that we have a fleet of those boats patrol- ling the river. The siege of Vicksburg and Port Hudson also suggests some difficulty to the rebels in passing the Washington fortifica- tions. Let it suffice for the present that Lee is aiming at Washington, and that upon the issue of this campaign depends the reconstruction or dissolution of the Union. In either event there is reason to apprehend that there will be an end of “the Union as it was and the constitution as it is.’ With the progress of this rebellion a political revolu- tionary movement has been progressing in both sections in favor of- State rights and another tending towards a strong consolidated ee In the rebellious States of the South this revolutionary spirit of consolidation has already resulted in the establishment of a perfect central military despotism—perfect as that of Timour the Tartar or that of Dr. Francia of Paraguay. They have a confede- rate constitution framed upon the model of our federal constitution; but the one is as much a dead letter in South Carolina to-day as the other. The recognition of a Southern confede- racy would doubtless be followed by a con- solidated Southern oligarchy or mock republic as absolute in power as the Protectorate of Cromwell or the French Consulate, which Na- poleon the First readily transformed into the French empire. With the dissolution of the Union a strong military establishment will become the first necessity in each division, and a strong military central government will accordingly be tbe first result. With the reconstruction of the Union the bloody instructions of this rebellion will probably be sufficient for the suppression in the federal government of all these embar- rassing, hair-splitting political dogmas of State rights and human equality. The instincts and the interests of the ruling landed aris- tocraoy of the South will naturally lead them to an aristocratic government, restored to or detached from the Union; and the lessons of this rebellion will lead the substan- stial conservative classes of the North in the same direction. Under a strict State rights interpretation of the constitution, the general government would have been utterly power- less to lift a hand against this rebellion. Mr. Buchanan so accepted it, and so he did nothing but whine and cry over his wrecked and help- less situation. } Reunited or broken up into two or half a dozen confederacies, the solid agricultural, manufac- turing and commercial interests of this country will have had enough of “the constitution as it is,” interpreted by our radical democrats and abolition reformers. We cannot imagine, how- ever, that General Lee has the remotest idea of @ reconstruction of the Union in any contin- gency, in any way,or upon any basis what- soever, except that of subjugation. He is staking the last card of his Southern confedera- cy in the campaign against Washington. If successful, he calculates upon foreign interven- tion and Southern independence; if unsuccess- ful, he calculates on falling back upon Richmond and fighting there to the last extremity. The issue is that of Oarthage against Rome. We have carried the war into Africa; but the enemy is thundering at our gates. Let him be expelled; let his army be scattered to the winds, asitcan be, with General McClellan in the place of Haileck as General-in-Chief, and then, with the easy extinction of the remnants of the rebellion, the good practical sense of the American people will rebuild from “the Union as it was and the constitution as it is” a com- mon government as strong to maintain itseif for the future against abolition agitators and secession conspirators aa against its foreign enemies. Tae Revorep Recat. or Genera Mo- Cretan To Tue Ciizr Commanp.—It became bruited about yesterday morning that Gene- ral McClellan bad been appointed by the President to the*chief command of the army, vice General Halleck. The effect of this rumor was really .astonishing. Gold went down, while these seemed a general revival of public confidence. The rumor spread over the city with wonderful rapidity. Groups were gathered at all the corners discussing the affair, and on all sides expressions of eonfidence in General McClellan’s ability to further the plans of the President were freely uttered. A spontaneous ovation was made to General McClellan, who happened to come to the city from New Jersey, where he now resides. The moment he was recognized on the ferryboat shouts for McClellan were heard, and when he us from the horrors of # rebet fovasion, ang drove back the very general who has up to | the present time advanced with 80 much dar- ing and success almost up to Washington. the rebels moved boldly on our capital. Should they hear that General McClellan is once more in command, we shall see them betraying more caution. trous defeat at Antietain, and will understand that for the future their strategy will be met by strategy, and that for all they gain they will have to battle stubbornly, The country will have good cause to rejoice the day that General McClellan assumes the command of our armies; and President Lincoln will likewise have cause to congratulate himself upon the assurance that all his plans will be carried out ably and faithfully. When it becomes known that Gen- eral McClellan is once more in command we shall have no, lack of volunte¢rs. Our people are patriotic, and will flock to our standard when aware that it is upheld byafirm and Secure in the removal of the man they feared, | They will bear in mind their disas- ‘able hand. The name of McClellan is a tower of strength in itself and will draw in crowds | our returned volunteers, who have so pertina- reached the city he was surrounded by crowds | of enthusiastic people shouting for him. These | ecenes are unmistakable evidences of the extreme popularity of the General, and prove how deep seated is the confidence reposed in him by the masses. His appointment to the command in chief would canse an immediate revival of hope In the breasts of those who were even the j most discouraged; and we thinktthe President } would show great wisdom in giving way to | popular seatiment upon this subject. Not even the bitterest enemies of General McClel- lian can deny that, under similar air cumstances «8 those which now cast so | great a gloum over our country, he saved Great confusion and excitement have prevailed jy the Conwention for the past few days.

A new era would dawn upon the country, and we should look forward conf- dently to: the speedy retreat of the rebels. “Little Mac” would soon rid us of our enemys. Horace Greetey ww Cavracgca Counry.— We perceive from the Jamestown Journal that Horace Greeley has recently visited Chautau- qua county, and there favored bis political friends with a speech. And we learn also that, to the cmazement of those friends, he openly advocated the right of secession, and expressed himself in favor of allowing the rebels fo de- part in peace. not relish this doctrine, and seems befogged with Greeley’s inconsistency. He has followed the Tribune always in an ecstacy of admiration; he admired the old white coat and cowhide boots; he even approved of the old white hat, principally devoted to protecting the cerebel- lum rather than the cerebrum of this abolition philosopher. But he is startled at the propost- tion that when a State wishes to secede it has the right to do so. The old clothes might pase muster—they might even be venerated, like the green breeches of Mahomet; but this traitorous opinion is spewed out of the mouth of the Jamestown Journal without hesitation. The editor of thé Journal does | We may see in this instance what dema- . gogism amounts to, and how absurd it is for the people to trust to the reveries and vagaries of euch one idea editors as Greeley. He, above all men, has brought on the present crisis by his persistent folly in assailing, abusing and threatening the South, giving them aN the provocation they wanted to excuse their crime. He, by his journalism, has infected the fools of the country with the desire to become philoso- phers. And now, when the day of trial comes, when the crisis‘is at hand, when the country has incurred a thousand millions of debt and lost half a million of lives, Greeley turns gbout and advocates secession, justifies its’ princi- ples, asserts its rights, and is ready to give up our country, our flag, our nationality, our cause to Jefferson Davis and the enemy. He who has urged us into this conflict—he who has done more than any other demagogue to bring on this war—now seeks to close it by the most abject submission and the most degrading sacrifices. He expects, no doubt, that if the South is al- lowed to break off from the Union will becon.#t%};,subjected territory of the abe litionists, and that enough country will be le for Phillips, Garrison, Beecber and himself to govern and fatten upon—a strawberry fide: for which he will furnish all the plants. ™ the North Let him not deceive himself. An insulted and ruined North will, in the event of a disso- lution of the Union, turn fiercely upon. its be- trayers and take vengeance on them for the wretchedness they have brought on the. coun try by their hypocritical and selfish conduct If Greeley wishes to save his old hat let him paddle off after his friend Beecher as fast as steam can carry him. This country will not tolerate him one moment after the question is settled between the North and the South, ne matter which way it goes. We trust the Chau- tauqua county people have not listened to his ravings. Time was, and we hope will come again, that when the brains were gone the man would die. the rule is once again a fact. There is yet hope for the nation if Exrraorpinany Evency or we Revenvs Orricens.—At about six o’clock on Monlay evening a party of revenue officers boarded the yacht Gipsy, lying off Port Richmond, and valiantly seized her in the name of the United States. The Gipsy is a licensed yacht, beleng- ing to the New York Yacht Club, and owned by Mr. Anthony W. Morse, who has been repainting and refitting her for a pleasure trip across the Atlantic and up the Mediterranean. The yacht has been lying at anchor for some time, and Mr. Morse’s intentions in regard to her were perfectly well known throughout the city. Under these circumstances the extraordinary energy and splendid daring of the revenue officers cannot be too highly commended. pirate schooner were to slip into this harbor and steal a revenue cutter, as the Archer did at Portland, any neglect of duty on the part of these officials ought to be overlooked. They have won sufficiently brilliant laurels by their present exploit. Their intelligence and effi- ciency surpass belief. They have proved them- selves fit subordinates of Secretary Chase, who has plenty of time to lay pipe for the next Presidency, but no time to pay the money due to our sick, wounded and deceased soldiers. Each of these brave and energetic men shovld be fnmediately promoted out of office, and be decorated with a leather medal. Ifa 4 The Navy. TRIAL TRIP OF THE SLOUP-OP-WAR SHTRNANDOAM. Boston!
