‘‘-Xo Truce with Traitors.??
Thia is a motto that is pecaliarly ap.
plicable to the burde of secessionist* who
are attempting to overthrow the greatest
Government that has ever been conceived
by the mind of man. The following
we clip from Harper's Weekly:
“There are idle reports in the pa
per* from time to time that Mr. Pierce,
of Concord, or some other noted person,
has been invited by Mr. Somebody, of
Somewhere, to mediate between the Gov
ernment and the rebe's. Then that Sec
retary Cameron has proposed an armis
tice of sixty days. Then that Lord Ly
ons is going to mediate. Why not say at
once that Jeff. Davis has proposed to the
President of the United States that if he
will abdicate the rebels will mercifully let
him uff with perpetual exile from the
country.
The Government of this country was
slow, and properly slow, to assert its un
questionable authority by force of arms.
It is endured more than any Govern
ment among civilized men ever endured
before. It looked on to see rebels build
batteries to batter down the forts of the
people of this country. It looked on pn
ticotly while the hospitals, navy yards,
»nd ships of the people were stolen. It
was taunted as craven by its foes—it was
*lm< st suspected as incompetent by its
friends—and at length, to put friends
and foes in the wrong, the first shot from
Sumter boomed across the land: its echo
was an appeal from ths Government to
people whose majeaty it iepresented, and
the response was the marvelous unani
mity of tho vast population of the Free
States.
They have taken up their arms—they
have kisse l wTe and child—they have
bent under the blessing of parents —and
they are not men who will parley or tol
erate parlcyb g with tiaitors. Inclined
to peace; obedient to law; patient of in
justice while still legal redress is open,
they are the last men in the world to
take up arms at all; but once armed, they
are the very last mon in the world to lay
them down until every jot and tittio of
the dispute has been finally settled.
Wo truce with traitors in their watch
word; but laying down of arms by rebels
—total dispersion—surrender of ring
leaders, and evidence of future good be
havior. No truce with traitors until the
last spark of this treason, which has
tainted our polities for twenty years and
more, is utterly trampled out. No truce
with traitors, until the Americas flag floats
over everv inch of our soil, the unques
tioned guarantee to every citizen of
every right secured by the Constitution.
Whoever offers to treat with armed
rebels is himself no loyal man. This
prefound and bitter struggle was none
of our seeking; but by all the precious
blood that has flowed and shall yet flow
it shall not end until all the wrongs
which peaceful and decent citizens of tl e
Free States have patiently and « ; kntly
endured for years are thoroughly redress
ed. Because ‘.hey believed in their Gov
ernment and meant to right all wrongs
bv lawful operation, the sons the men
who fought the Revolution Lave been
apit up >n r.s sneaking Yankee petidlers
and cordially tinkers whose noses might
be pul'e lat pleasure. Believing still in
the Government they have marshaled
themselves for its maintenance. At last
the great north wind is rising that shall
purge our air of the Sickly Southern vap
ors. At las*, r.t last, tho majesty of that
flag shall be vindicate'. 1 , anJ all that its
bright stars mean shall be iCaJ in the
regeneration of the nation. Through
the blackest night the world rolls on to
ward morning. No truce with traitors
uut’l the spirit of treason is annihilated.”
Look Out for Breakers.
There is no system of Banking, private
or public, in the United States that can
be safely depended upon. In ordinary
circumstances, most of them can be re
lied on, but in emergencies like those
which ara now experienced, there is not
one of them that is perfectly safe. The
surest way in times like these is for eve
ry one to become his own banker, and
to make assurance—doubly sure—every
dollar put into Banks should be a Con
stitutional dollar and deposited in his own
Bank, io this way your money will not
be injuriously affected by Bank frdures,
panics or ether causes which depreciate
everything but real money, the standard
of nil value.
That there is more breakers ahead is
self-evident, and that there will be
a universal crashing among the
Banks, more terrible than in ’37 is to ap
parant to be denial.
The N. Y. Herald’s Washington qor
respondent of the 13th said, “ It Las
been determined by the Government to
move an immense force down the Mis
sissippi. Nearly the entire Northwestern
force will be pushed in that diraction.”
Chicago, May 18.—Senator Doug
las hne been very ill with typhoid fever
ever since he returned to this city. Fears
are entertained by friends that he will
not r- ©over.
Cost of the War.
It would not be out of place to count
open tho probable cost of tho war, at
least indulge in a few speculations. It
costs about one thousand dollars to out
fit and keep a soldier one year This in
cludes all expenses of arms, clothing,
food and transportation, but it doss not
include the ravages necessarily and often
times wantonly committed by troops in
their progress through the country. At
this estimate, which is nearly correct, of
a thousand dollars to maintain each sol
on a war footing, and that we shall prob
ably have 200,000 met in the field be
fore long, we have an aggregate cost for
their niaintainance for one vear, of two
hundred millions of dollars.
Another item is that which is beyond
computation—the loss consequent upon
the depreciation of stocks; the failure of
banks; the derangement of business; the
suspension of manufacturing establish
ments, and works of internal improve
merits ; the interruption of commerce,
uot only upon the high seas, but even
upon the navigable rivers ; all these
form au aggregate of evils that cannot be
computed by figures.
And lastly, but far from the least, is
the calamity, pecuniary aud social—of
the ravages, devastations, spoliations and
destruction comn itted by armies in an
enemies country, ind especially in a fra
tricidal war. Who can estimate the
amount of this destruction that is about
to bo committed ? Who can imagine
the po'gancy of grief which will be in
dicted on thousands of households ?
Who can picture tho scenes of horror, of
cruelty, of ravage, of devi station, of
personal outrage, which will be commit
ted by an infuriated soldiery ?
Governor’s Message.
At the special session of the State
Legislature, which is now convened at
Madison, we find the Governor in his
message recommends that six regiments
of sold ers be put into camp by tho State
for service; also, an appropriation of one
inillic n dollars.
He further recommends that an au
thority ought to be given to purchase for
the use of the State, in addition to such
arms as are required for the use of regi
mer.ts going into the field, six rifle can
non. The Governor in his closing
address says ;
“The people will never consent to any
cessation of tho war, forced so wickedly
upon us, until the traitors are hung or
driven into ignominious exile. This war
began where Charleston is / it should
end where Charleston icas. The Su
preme Ruler can but smile upon the ef
forts of the law-loving, government-lov
ing, liberty-loving people of this land, in
resisting the disruption of this Union.—
These gathering armies are the instru
ments of His vengeance, to execute His
just judgments; they are His flairs where
with on God’s great Southern threshing
floor He will pound rebelion for its sms.”
A Bitter L.ccling.
The Richmond Whig, speaking of the
war feeling in Virginia, says:
“There is a pride which every man
born on Virginia sjpl feels in the State
of his birth.
To see such a Commonwealth subju
gated and partitioned out among sniv
eling Yankees would drive all her men
to disneration; all her women would
refuse to breed.”
So far as experience) extends, we
doubt tho truth of the last remark.
Appointments.—Mr. D. C. Jackson,
U. 8. Marshal for Wisconsin, has made
the following appointments of Deputies
in difl. rent parts of the State :
Green county, A. J. Sutherland, of
Monroe.
Monroe county, Judge W. W. Jack
son, of Jacksonville.
Fond du Lac county, A. C. Kinney,
of Ripon.
Dane county, S. St. John, of Sun
Prairie.
Portage county, O. H. Lnmoreux, of
Plover.
Dodge county, Samuel McLaughlin,
of Fox Lake.
Brown county, Mr. Thomas, of Green
Bay.
Fits. —Old Joel Parker, late Chief
Justice of New Hampshire, on behalf of
Mrs. Parker and other ladies of Cam
bridge, Massachusetts, (be is now profes
sor in the law school there,) furnished a
box of clothing to a company from that
town, saving very characteristically of
two of the items :
“There are two sizes of shirts and
three sizes of drawers. This may per
haps answer for practical purposes : The
Fits” which we cannot fur
nish without measurements, we expect
you to give to your enemies.”
A Frankfort dispatch to the Cincinna
ti Commercial, May 14, say a : “ Union
sentiment is growing stronger. Ken
tucky is overwhelmingly for the Union
and if forced to it by the Secessionists,
will declare for th® United States Govern
ment.
THE PRESCOTT JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1861.
Western Virginia.
The Wheeling Convention adopted
resolutions condemnatory of tho Rich
mond usurpation, urging everybody to
vote on the 23d, and creating a Central
Committee, to exeicise provisional pow
ers over the objects contemplated in the‘
call of the Convention, sheuld au emer.
geiicy require before the election of a
new and larger body, to be chosen June
4th and to meet June 11th.
Fiom a careful examination of the
different reports, we gather that the Con
vention declined to adopt, at the present
time, any one of tho three schemes for
organizing a new Government.
We infer that the following views of
the Nvw York Evening Post fairly em
body the “sober seccond thought ’ of tho
Convention.
“There is a rumor that the convention
will probal ly determine on secession
from the State. We trust they will do
nothing of the kind, lhey aro men
who proclaim themselves faithful to the
Union and the Constitution. But the
Constitution savs: “No new State shall
be formed or erected within the jurisdic
tion of any other State, nor any Suite be
formed by the junction of t-'O or more
States, without the consent of the Legis
lature of the States concerned, as well as
of tho Congress.”
“The rebels are violators of the Con
stitution. We who support it must also
obey it. We trust to see tho meu of
Western Virginia taking a wiser and
higher stand. They form the true com
monwealth of Virginia. They, her loyal
citizens, are the only ones who have a
right to speak for her or in her name.—
It is the traitors who now hold the east
ern part of the State by force of arms,
who have seceded from the State. Let
the faithful districts of Virginia take care
to elect good Union men to the next
Congress. Let them laise their quota
of troops for the Government. Lee them
act in all ways as bese.ms tho State of
Virginia; and then wc may hope to see
the‘whole State restored shortly to iaw
and order, peace and safety.”
This is good advice, aud is inspired,we
have reason to believe, by tho Lincoln
Administration. Western A irginia wiil
act ou the maxim, “Be sure you are
right, aud then go ahead.”
Believing our readers equally interested
with ourselves in this movement, we
shall watch it closely and give full par
ticulars of its progress.— Saint Paul
Press.
From Missouri.
St. Louis, May 10.
To many an aching heart in St. Louis
these are long days. We fear that red
tape will be our ruin. It is no exagger
ation to say that to-day this is the most
important point west of W ashington.—
Here the traitors intend to make the
headquarters of their Western army.—
This is well known,and in view of its im
mense preparations of attack ate making
in all the River States south of Kentucky,
Of this we hear daily—but what is our
Government doing?
No citv is more loyal. We are ready
to defend the Stars and Stripes to the
last, and die in their defense; but we are
not strong enough to take a bold stand
and crash out traitors—not strong enough,
we fear, even to protect ourselves from
the traitors in our own State.
The Legislature is sitting with closed
doors. Rumor says no doubt truly, that
they are about passing a series of acts,the
most diabolical that their nicked ingenu
ity can invent. They have robbed the
schools fund; they will repudiate the
State debt, seize the railroads and tel
egraphs, secede from the Union, compel
every citizen to take an oath of allegi
ance to the Governor of the State, mak
ing nil men from the age of 15 to 50
join the a.iniv, or pay a fine iloO. And
neither last nor least, one clause of the
militia bib makes speaking d srespectful-
Iv of ihe Governor treason, punishable
with death 1
These are samples of laws that are be
ing hurried through in secret session.—
They will probably all be passed before
you receive this. The money to pay
"the July interest of our State bonds will
follow the school fond, and a forced loan
from the banks is freely talked .of. The
banks are now in a state of suspension,
and exchange cn New York is worth
from 10 to 15 per cent premium.
In this emergency, what can the citi
zens of St. Louis do? We will never
take the test oath—never.! We w 11 pay
no State tax after the Slate secedes, nor
acknowledge and allegiance to it. This
will bring down upon us the hordes of
Secession. What tho result will be, if we.
have no help from outside, is fearful to
think of. The people of Kansas, lowa,
Wisconsin, and Illinois are all well dis
posed towards us, and true ns steel to
their flag. They have volunteers mus
tered and armed, and who would gladly
come jf ordered here; but they rre now
too distant to be available to prevent a
conflict. Nothing lut a large force here,
without any delay, will prevent tho effu
sion of blood and save this most impor
tant section of the West unscathed. A
short delay and it will be too Into.
A steamboat loaded with arms passed
tho encampment at Carlo, unquestion
ed, and arrived here yesterday. The
arms are now in the hands of those who
intendlo use them to murder our citi
zens. Another boat-load is hourly ex
pected. Forty drays were loaded at
at the levee and pass unmolested through
the streets to the tr. itors camp. Jeff
erson Davis means to push his battle
fields North Here, in this , city, ho
means to fortify himself and resist the
armies of the free North-West.

The statement that Winans, of Balti
more, was unconditionally released,is un

broader field of honor.
The New York Herald’s Montgom
ery correspondent states that it has been

influence on Davis.
It is also stated that it was seriously

seeking places between here and Farm
ington. They are compelled to leave

could bring with them, most of them
leaving growing crop> in the ground.
Our informant said that be and some of
his neighbors were warned to leave by

teeth, while he and his friends had no
arras at all.
“The six families here were seeking
houses for shelter, and we were glad to
see that our citizens were disposed to aid
and assist them all in their power.”
It is believed that the secessionists are
concentrating in fore® at Jefferson City.
Union and tree State men are fleeing for
their lives, and pouring over into Illinois.
The story of their wrongs is raising the
war spirit of tho border inhabitants in
Illinois, to tho highest pitch. The ccndi
tion of affairs is no doubt engaging the
attention of the Government, and the
prospect every day grows stronger that
the theatre of war will be transferred
from the East to the West.
