Tha daiaaadi of the hoar are proaptnaas, coal, energy, and patriotic devotion in prosecuting the war, and onfatliog confidence in the power of the goveminent to crush the rebellion. At no jwriod of the war bare we bad greater toermtlvea than at this moment to pot fbrtb onr whole strength. On the cne titnd, we have past successes to ttimulbte m. ww ire masters of the situation, wa have the numerical superiority and j matly greater rebbatcei. We have but 10 pat forth oar strength to win the day ' amd aecwre the hirelings o! peace and j t»aoaperlty. oh the other band, apathy and deoftondency at tbi* hour may work | the moat disastrous consequences- ' The 1 rebels coining upon our inactivity, are straialag every nimre to strike a decls•j jwureiiin. our amies are tfaia aad theirs are fall. 7%*y know that dtlay t© tiSm U fatal, and that while our forces i utf hbabefortb incraaac, theirs most dr- j ariaWh. Already they talk of invading the Hbrth; and carrying the war to oar feMBee aad oar fcaridas. 7%al would I araaae the nation into a display of pow- 1 ar that would astonish our enemies] at home and abroad ; Jnt why should i wa wait uir suck a UcmouatratMu ? The ' s

| very announcement of such a purpose ' ought to stimulate as to the most deterI mined efforts to forever prevent even the ! possibility of such a thing. Our enemies across the water are only waiting for a decent pretext for active intervention. Could they ask a better one than ' | lack of real and promptitude iu prose- 1 j ting the war at this critical hour ? . The South is fighting with the deter- J ruination of desperate men who feel that | there all is at stake. They use every ' | device of conning, every contrivance of strategy, every means within their pow- . er — surprises, raids, black men, whito ' men, red men. Have we less at stake than they? It is a fatal cryor to suppose., .so We are fighting not merely for national unity, out the great batlla of republican institutions for thla country in the future, and for the world, nnrl there is but one altcrhamc — we must conquer or die. Republican institutions have few influential friends in Europe, and a great many active enemies. They hove : never taken deep root in the South, which has now avowedly arrayed itself ; against the fundamental principle of , republicanism — the rule of the * majority. Let rebellion succecd,*~nnd republicanism immediately falls from Ihe . commanding position it has hitherto held, into a by- word and a reproach. • Striking hands with the aristocracies or Europe, the slave-holding aristocracies

[ of the Sodth will cater into a league i ieague against the spread of free institutions and the progress of libera! opinions, They intend, as one of their number bus expressed it, "to have a right government," in which property shall rule and the poor roan shall be o cypher We are fighting, therefore, not merely i for preseut peace, but for all thai u e 1 hope for In the future. We have not . only to pot down a rebellion, but to se- ' eure our natiomil safety in all coming time. The war is emphatically for ths young men or the land. All their hopes and prospects for the future are I invokeSln the contest. If they would enjoy the privileges and advantages enjoyed by their fatlicre, they must needs fight for them nqw. It is not therefore : merely the fighting element of the population, or the inep to whomv bounties j are an inducement, that should now respond to the call of the country. Every young man of edocalion nbd position, who is looking forward to future honors and emoluments, who relies upon commerce, literature, law or politics for bis { | future prosperity and elevation has a j direct interest in this contest, and is i called upon by every dictate of self- . interest as well ss patriotism, to 1 shoulder hU musket and march up . oa »he enemy. We think the young 1 . j mm ' of the land- are beginning to 1 ; leei this, and we look for a noble re- '1 spouse from tho flower of onr youth. , 1 " ,Xet them orwvufze themselves in bro'.b- ; 1 ' { erhoods and neighborhoods and go ont ' ' • to the contest resolved to defeud the . 1 * i nation's integrity, honor end glory; and j ' r , to preseSe for themselves a country | ] , which alone cm give them a brilliant ' ' 'future. .1 — — , j From the " IVaverly .M«s*xinr."

Under bis oi- 1 1 • , rectinn Misvoari and Middle and >Ust Ten- j 1 ' net see bars been reclaimed from tbc rebelsr 1 • ' and occupied by Federal forces. ! In appearance, General Halleck is ratber 1 • | below lbs medium height, well farmed, j | t ] straight, active, und has an energetic walk , f ' which is significant of bis character. He ^ ^ has ar ample ferebrad, nose delicate and ^ well fanned, mouth expressive of much | honor. sod eyes clear and intensely briilisnt. ' ' of a hazel color. Speaking 6f eyes, an sble 1 ! writer say* : "When ha looks at a man it - seems as though he was literally able to ( - read him through and through. No amoanl t . ' of oily duplicity, no brusen effrontery, no ( i studied concealment, could avail anything ( before that keen, penetrating gase. It is , an eye to make ^all rogues tremble, and even bonesl men look about them to bo sure that they have not been up to some n mischief." t Like all great men". Gen. Halleek has enemies who delight in trying to injure him, ^ ' with something of tho line tncccsi that ' would be likely to attend an effort of mos- ' quilos to batter down the Hunker Hill 0 I Monument. Up to tbe breaking out of the h present rebellion, he was a resident of Sun p f Francisco and was* noted as a very ablu lawyer. He is spoken of, on good author- ^ ity, as a wealthy and liberal man. Asa military man. be has bern remarkably successful, and tbe eouutry has rause for con- ^

All it. at good grneruls hip can accomplish will now undoubt edly be done, and the day. let us hope, will soon dawn when Cnncordiu shall take the ' . place of Mart, ami when I he re United States shall again elicit the wonder a d ' admiration of tho world ! Much as it is to I be regretted, General Halleck'# excessive I modesty in repiuul to pcr-otial nff-iirs prevents the collection of matter for u itioru , detailed sketch. Lim/np*-. T Rovs.fi. WHO Dir.

They number, all told, nine hundred i and one. Of these only twenty-one ; have perished. This is In proportion | of one out of forty-three — which is Just, the portion of deaths among the people | of Koxbury during the last year ! That ■ is, it proved to be as healthy, in the case of the Roxbnry soldiers, to go to war as it would have been to have staid at home. We do not know that these particular soldiers were in any way exempi froui the usual dangers of the ! : service, for they weya-Jtidedly ^JHNM t 1 among several regiments, and 1 their chances.

" J that is a proportion which, under | | increased expcricnco and the new rrgt& : ( ; lations of tbe army, ought to prevail j , I hencefsrth among New Englat'd troops, j facts are worthy of general atUn- j j illon.

Frederick of Prussia had a great ma- ( nia for enlisting gigantic soldiers into,, the Itoyal Guords, and paid an enormous bonut) to bis repejtinz officers getting them. One'day the recrui- j ting sergeant chanced to espy a Hibernian, who was at least seven feet high ; accosted him in english, and proposed that he should enlist. The idea of military life and a large so delighted Patrick, tliot he immediately consented. "Bnt unless ' cun speak German, the king will | not eive vou so much." "Oh. be iugive so ju-

"How long; have yon been in the service ?" asked his majesty. "Twenty-seven years " "Am I or you a fool ?" roared the king. "Both," replied Patrick, who was instantly taken to the guard-room, but pardoned by the king after he understood the facta of the case. secession dojtt eat.

ie | There is some foundation for the re-> ! port that Geoeml Fremont is about r- being assigned a new command. Efforts p ; are being mwde by influential parties", to u ! have him assigned te the Department of il i Texas, and to allow him a sufficient i- I force to operate in that state against the g j Rebels. The Govern meat is assured >- j by influential and trnst-worlhr Union i- • refugees from Texas, that a large m»e jority of the German population in the • ! western portion of tbe state are decis dedly in favor of the Union, and that s they only await the arrival of a national t force, to declare thsmselvcs, and to tako II active measures to vindicate the causo j of the Constitution and the Union. * The courteous chivalry of the Rebels is Gtly illustrated by the following isri- > dent: Gen Ripley, who is or was the . rebel commander at Charleston, has - ■ been highly landed as a chivtlroa* gen- » ,«ilemnn.
