MONDAY, MAT 6,1861.
SECOND EDITION.
.A second edition of the Tribune will be
issued to-morrow morning, containing the
■ telegraphic dispatches which will come
to-night, and what other news cut be ob
tained. Copies can be obtained at the
conntmg-roo m in the morning.
to conruisiKD sttbscbibehs.
Many of our mail subscribers are ■writ
ing to this office, complaining bitterly of
the irregularity with which their Daily
Tkibcke came to hand for the past few
weeks.
The trouble is beyond our power to
remedy. It lies with the New Route Agents
who have not yet u got the hang of the
bam.” Packages are sent to the wrong
offices, and others carried past the right
ones. All sorts of mistakes are made,
causing delays and irregularity. Some of
the Route Agents have got pretty well
broke in, and aommit hut few errors;
others learn more slowly, and make bad
work of it.
The evil of which our subscribers com
plain, will cure itself by degrees. Every
day it will grow less, as the Agents be
come more expert and familiar with their
duties.
In relation to the complaints of city sub
scribers of late delivery, and of news men
that they cannot get as many papers as
their orders call for, we have the pleasure
to announce that our new fast press has
been shipped from New York, and will be
here in a few days, so that in a short time
the cause of complaint will be removed.
Subscribers will have their Tribute de
livered early, and the news dealers will be
abundantly supplied in time for all the
trains. Be patient a few days longer.
[SBAHS.
HOW
The twenty days allowed the traitors in
the President’s proclamation, to lay down
their arms and return to their allegiance,
have now expired, and we may confident
ly look for offensive operations against the
rebels, on a scale that will make success
ful resistance impossible. The days of
grace have been long and weary, and we
are glad to announce their expiration I
Jfow let the blows fall thick and fast The
people demand the instant employment of
all the immense resources which they are
willing to lavish upon this struggle for the
preservation of their Übertiea,and they will
not be content if their demand is not made
the role of the Administration. Let the
columns be pushed forward. The country
wants to hear the roar of artillery I
ATTACK ON CAIRO.
There are rumors of as attack on Cairo,
which we fear are well founded. It can
not have entered the hrain of even addle- |
pated General Pillow that he can dislodge 1
the Illinois troops how quartered at that
point, by any force which he con muster in
the “neutral” States of Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Missouri; but an attack, even if
followed by a repulse, is necessary to fire
the Southern heart and precipitate those
Slates into revolution; hence if an assault
upon Illinois men on Illinois soil is intend
ed, it is a part of the policy of the confed
erated traitors at Montgomery, by which
they hope to drag all the Border Slave
States into the maelstrom of secession.
The game they play is a strong one,
but the prize is worth the hazard.
Those States with comparatively few
slaves and a sturdy, healthy and
courageous population, are nec
essary to prevent the obliteration of the
conspirators and the destruction of their
traitorous programme, within the next
ninety days. They contain a large part of
the material wealth and the fighting men
of the South; and so long as they remain,
if only professedly, loyal to the Federal
Government, secession is capable of no ad- .
vance. It may persecute unprotected
Northern men and terrify Northern women
in New Dahomey, stop the mails, steal
the goverment property, and make such
small displays of impotent malignity; but
It can neither make war nor protect itself.
Without them, it must die the death of a
rat in a cage. The attack on Washington
is of course abandoned. The Hotspurs late
ly gathered at Alexandria, in t he neighbor
hood of the Capital, though as ardent os a
Southern sun and whiskey can make them,
have prudently retired to healthier quarters
and the contingent at Richmond, though
idly increasing in numbers, is not believed
to be in a condition to lace the fire of the
loyal men now under the President’s im
mediate command. Washington is safe ;
but action is as necessary to treason as to
oratory; without it, men stop to think, and
thought does not favor, the commission of
crime. The people must be hur
ried forward, -their passions must
be aroused,, their sectional animosi
ty stimulated, and their sense of honor
piqued. Blood is necessary to arouse
them from the bottom; and why not let
It flow in Illinois ? loud outcries will fol
low a battle, whether won or lost. Crimi
nations and recriminations between the
States will not hasten peace. In the con
fusion and din, Secession rises, and the
revolution has gained strength—the Border
States are out; now for War! This is the
reasoning which impels the gathering of the
rorces at Columbus and Memphis; this is
sending np the Mississippianshy hundreds
to take part in the firay. We have no fears
of the result. The men at Cairo are loyal;
they are in earnest, and they are brave.
Jjet Gen. Pillow come. If a battle and a
defeat will serve his cause, we know no
reason why both are not at his command.

A SBtFM HEAP COURT EUBTIAL
NEEDED.
' We are exceedingly reluctant to giye
credence to the following from the New
York Tinti Washington despatches; and
we do not believe that the transactions re
lated are evidences of corruption. If the
Times account is true in terms, there are
unquestionably reasons connected with
the 1 condition of affairs at the
time the beef and forage was contracted,
which, were they tobe delivered in Wash
ington,would justify the prices named. We
print the extract only to put in our protest
against the jobbing and peculation which
teem to be a part of all military operations.
The Administration’s most imperative du
ty to the country is to see to it now, when
the people are willing to pour out their
money like water, fop the public defence,
that their loyalty and generosity are
not abused by the train of thieves who
will hang on to the rear guard of the
armies of the Republic, out of the way of
stray bullets, but ever ready for an attack
on the public coffers. And the President
himself owes it to the friends who elected
him, to show no mercy to the men in office
—high or low —who prostitute their trusts
to the acquisition of shameful riches. We
would be glad to see all this contracting
for the supply of troops put on a strictly
military basis, and out of tbe reach of the
civil law ; and when an officer or a con
tractor is found guilty of jobbing, pecula
tion or fraud, to see him tried by a drum
head' court-martial, and sent off to his rest
at once. Napoleon had a way of doing
that thing which cannot be too highly
commended.
Every true friend of the Administration
will regret to learn that a system of disgrace
ful joboing has been commenced in connec
tion with contracts for supplies for the troops.
Some of these operations are too glaring for
concealment.
The beef contract to which 1- referred last
night,' I understand, is for twenty thousand
head of cattle. The price to be paid, I am
told, is height cents gross—equal to' fourteen
and a half cento net—a. most extravagant rate,
' and which will yield a profit of several bun
dred thousand dollars. Bids would have pro
cured* contract on terms saving the Govern
ment a quarter of a million dollars on this one
Item. '
Another close contract made with John F.
Coyle, of Washington, for blankets and knap
sacks. Price not transpired, but will surely
be found largely in excess of the terms which
responsible parties in the trade would find re
mnnerative.
Another Pennsylvanian has received a con
tract for blue cloth*; and Dr. Mehaffey, of
Pennsylvania, late one of Forney’s subordi
nates m the House of Representatives, has a
heavy contract for forage.
The Welland Canal Horses versus
Steam*
We have received a long article from a gen
tleman at Port Dalhousie, C. W., defending
the towers by horse power on the Welland
Canal against those who are endeavoring to
secure a contact for towing by steam on the
long levels. A pressure of more important
matters upon our columns prevents us from
publishing the article. It is not a matter in
which our readers are generally interested.
All the West wants are the quickest and
the cheapest routes of transport for her im
mense products to the ocean. Steam tugs
on the long levels of the Welland Canal, it is
plain to all our business men, would take ves
sels through much more rapidly, and it is be
lieved with less expense than horses. Hence
they hope that the Canadian Government will
make the change. Nobody here has any an
tipathy to those who have heretofore been en
gaged in the business of towing by horses, or
who may now he doing it; and if they have
been misrepresented or even slandered, It
would not do them or any one- else the least
possible good for us to give up one of our col
umns to their defence. The whole matter
may as well remain where it belongs, in the
hands oi the Canadian Government.
Vanity Fair
Has become the London Punch of America.
In its illustration and originality it is veiy lit
tle inferior to the renowned British publica
tion. The last issue, may 4th, is a capital
number.
The leading cut is a peculiarly happy design.
It represents a gardner with the profile of
Lincoln, watering a bed of flowers and con
versing with a beautiful lady (Miss Columbia,)
wbo is Mlrfng him questions. The posies con
sist of an army on parade. In the foreground
is a large basket filled with Droit, labeled
“ grape-shat;” on tbe right in the rear, is a
flowerpot of the shape of a gallows. Thewa
tering pot is labelled u Spirit of ’76,” from
whichtiie gardner is sprinkling the.soldier
« posies,” In the background is a temple, in
scribed “ Constitution.” Underneath the pic
ture a conversation between the gardner and
lady is thus repeated

Old*Abe.— -“That Is rare in this country.

FRANCIS P. BLAIR THREATENED.
GEN. HARNEY’S GETTER.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.}
Washington, hay 4,1861.
Two prominent citizens of Northern Ken
tucky, this morning, offered to the Govern
ment, two regiments, them in
spiffe of the refusal of Gov. Magoffin to re
spond to the President’s requisition for troops.
They will doubtless be accepted.
Parties from Maryland are now here on a
similar mission. They tender one regiment.
I have positive advices that there are only
about fifteen hundred Virginians stationed at
Harper’s Ferry, only two-thirds of whom are
armed. Provisions are exceedingly scarce
and troops subsist on short rations. They
have the six thousand stand of arms, rescued
by rebels from the fire of the arsenal, in par
tially damaged condition. Mr. F. P. Blair re
ceived notice, some days since, from the Se
cessionists about Silver Springs, his residence,
that Ms house would be fired, if he did not
immediately leave that vicinity. The plucky,
old gentleman immediately notified them in
return, that there would be two parties to
that bargain. Ho at once removed his family
to this city, and prepared for a vigorous de
fence, by arming his servants to the teeth; 1
and Gen. Harney has written an open letter
to CoL O’Fallon, of St. Louis, in which he ex
presses his readiness to stand by the flag un
der wMch he has served forty-two years, to
the last; and tells the people of Missouri that
Secession would he the ruin of their State.
The appointment of the bo called Board of
Safety, by the Maryland Legislature, is likely
to give serious trouble-in that State. The
Union men. are determined to resist this trea
sonable and illegal action.

be immediately musteted into service and or

some nine miles west of Baltimore, to-nignt,
to secure the way for troops about marching
from the North through Maryland.
Gen. Butler leaved for Annapolis to-night.
Strong symptoms are now visible on all
sides of decisive military movements to be
made in course of the next few days. •
The committee appointed by the Maryland
Legislature for peace negotiations with the
President, arrived here to-day. They might
have saved the trouble of coming here. The
movements of the troops will show them
whence the wind blows. Their interim and
the result of it are highly satisfactory to all
Union men here. The President’s reply was,
though courteous, sharp and decisive.

AFFAIRS AT HARPER’S FERRY.
We are at last in possession of official de
tails concerning the situation ®f affairs at
Harper’s Ferry, after the destruction of the
armory by Lieut. -Jones. It seems that the
work was by no means an entire success. The
fire did not touch one large depot which con
tained 8,000 stand of first class arms, and the
entire machinery of the armory is in as good
order to-day as it ever was. The Department
attach no blame to Lieut. Jones, thinking that
he did the best he could under the circum
stances.
VIRGINIA.
The Committee of Virginians from Bntler
Gonnty, of whose arrival I notified you be
fore, had long and satisfactory interviews with
Messrs. Lincoln and Cameron last night.
Their object was to induce the Administration
to pledge itself to support them, if, at the
coming election, the loyal citizens of that
county showed need of protection. They are
determined to assert the rights of citizenship,
to resort to arms in self-defence, if&ttacked.
and then, being backed by a Governmental
force, they feel sure of success. No written
pledges were given them, but such assurances
as made them confident of Ultimate triumph
and entire impunity.
THE BLOCKADE OF SOOTHERS FORTS.
Most active preparations are being made for
the further blockading of Southern ports.
Ten vessels of the fleet wflVwtthJh a 'week,' be
at sea. The entire fleet will consist of at least
filly wer veesals of various descriptions, ao
compagled by suMc}eht steam .transports for
the accommodation of a land force at least
90,000 strong. Thus it will prove sufficient to
make an efficient blockade of eyeiy inlet oh
the Southern coast, info which any vessel
drawing six feet water might otherwise enter,
while it will devolve on the disunion authori
ties the necessity of keeping in arms, feeding,
etc., distinct armies, sufficient to cope with
the land forces accompanying it, in or near
Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, Pensacola, Mo
bile, and New Orleans, of at least an aggregate
of 130,000 troops stationed for the protection
of these important points alone. That not a
bale of cotton or cargo of other Southern pro*
duction can seek a marketthrougfa any South
ern port, is to become a fixed &ct within one
month from tiffs day, and without the pro
ceeds of sale of their crepe the Dlsuniomsta
will have no meons whatever of procuring
military supplies of any description, for they
do not produce or mami&otnre them; and the
experience of Norther merchants would seem
to indicate that the available treasure of the
South is neither silver nor gold, and darkeys
ara not at present desirable mediums of ex
change. ’

Interview Between the President and
the Maryland Legislature.
Washington, May 4. —The Maryland Legis
lature in the interview with the President
thin morning, admitted both the right and the
power of the Government to bring troops
through Baltimore or the State, and to take
any measures for the public safety, which, in
the discretion of the President, might be de
manded, either by actual or reasonably apre
bended exigencies. They expressed their
belief that no premeditated effort at secession
or resistance of the Federal authorities would
be attempted Iff the Legislature or State au
thorities, and asked that in this view the State
should, as long as possible, be spared the evils
of a military occupation or a mere revengeful
chastisement for former transgression. The
President replied that their suggestion and
representations should be considered, but that
he should now say no more than that the pub
lic interest, and not a spirit of revenge, should
actuate his measures.
Washington, May 4. —The New York 6th
Regiment will forthwith be located lu the
neighborhood of Georgetown.
The Government has been officially advised
that at the latest dates no Commissioners
from the Confederate States had presented
themselves at the French Court. The State

is not now, nor has there been, nor will there
be any, or the least idea existing in this Gov
ernment of suffering a dissolution of the
Union to take place in any way whatever.

FROM BALTIMORE.
[Correspondence of the N. T. Tribune.]
Baltixobe, Hay 2.
I notice that people abroad are rejoicing
over a change of sentiment in Baltimore.—
This is a mistake. Seven oat of eveiy ten of
the people of oar city have never been rebels,
and are not so now. Their voice has been
hashed by the violence of the city authorities,
that allied themselves to a ferocious mob, In
order to precipitate the State into rebellion.
They are far more devoted to the Union since
the outrage of the 19th of April than before,
but the fomenters of that deed of blood, and
the actors in it, have not changed one iota.
Their hatred of the United States has been
intensified by failure. All that ho* taken place
is the bursting of the Union feeling through
the barriers which violence had set up for Us
destruction. Let no exile return under the
fciea that the city authorities have abated their
hostility to Union men one jot or tittle. He
would be even more obnoxious to the powers
that be than before he was forced to fly.
The mob are all aimed still. They have not
surrendered a single weapon. There is a
house on Green Mount Avenue, pretty well
out, in which are secreted several uige pieces
of ordnance. A large quantify of powder has
been stored in the vaults of Green Mount
Cemetery! so that not even .the sacred pre
cincts of the dead are.free from the intrusion
of the conspirators. House after House in
the Five Points quarters of the city is stored
with murderous weapons, and what is more,
these depots ot arms and munitions are know#
to'the Chief of Police and hlsmea. While the
mob, or Col Trimble’s unnnlfonfped 'pies, qs
they are djgnifiedwfth the title ot, are thus
maintained by the city authorities, in an atti
tude qf terror and hostility tohoneat citizens,
they are spending borrowed treasure by the
thousands, to increase the military force to be.
used against the United States. This is the
real purpose ot this city rebellion, covered up
though ft is by the specious title of defence.
Mercantile failures are darkening the gloom
of the hour, if that were poesibleTSome fifteen
of the staunchest houses in town went over
board to day. The 4th instant will see fifteen
times fifteen, it is feared, and the bartW have
been let loose to nm the path of shlnplas ten
down to insolvency, unless the United States
shall speedily save us from ourselves. And
still there is no let-up among the Wlnanses,
and the sattelitea that revolve these moneyed
sons. They are driving the city to insolvency,
already burdened with a heavy debt. The
arming of the city is not suficrea to abate, and
the Wlnanses* forges andfoundries are going
night pmd day. The oulyhopeof the honest
and loyal dtisens is in ike speedy occupation
of the city by the Federal Government »»**
