What tiik Oovkknsiknt Has Donr in
Six Months A liirdVeyo view of the
amount of lubor done by the United States
Government in tlio post six montlis is giv.
cn below, in an article from the X. Y.
Tost. No nation under licuven ever did
or eould nccoinplisli so much, in so short a
spuce of time, an this tuition lias done.
The Post Rnys:
Let us review the mnntlis tlint have
passed Kiuee the day of Sumter, and see
what we liuve done. Six months ago we
had not seven bnudred soldiers within the
the reach of a defenseless capital. To-day
we have probably two hundred thousand
armed men on the line of the rotomnc,
ami another hundred thousand in the West.

times the number. Six months ago we
could neither feed nor move on army of
5,000 men; to day every department of our
vast military organization is complete, nnd
we can make war across the continent.
Six months ago we had not a dozen ships
of war nt hnnd; to day we number our
navy by the hundred, and ure guarding a
const line of more than two thousand miles.
Six months ago the Government could
scarcely borrow a few hundred thousands
at twelve percent.; to-day twenty millions
of people lend it one hundred and fifty mill
ions of dollars nt pur. Six months ago
the question was whether the people would
support the Government; to-duy tins only
question is whether the Government wiil
support the people.

There is a growing impression that Con
gress will authorize negro emancipation ns
a war measure, and 0 potent means of end
ing tho rebellion, unless tho cotton States
declare their submission before mnry weeks
have passed. Certainly the sentiment of
the country is rapidly rising to that posi
tion. Significant of the sentiment in ques
tion wore some speeches lutely in New York
city, at the reception of tho 23d Regiment
of Massachusetts Volunteers. Tho noted
Gon. Borusiilc, of Rhode Island and Hull
Run fume, having been received with grent
applause, thanked tho icop!c of .V. V. for
the kind reception, and hoped the occasion
would tend to strengthen the kindness ex
isting between them. He said:
lie had learned to respect Massachusetts
soldiers, because ha wus brought up in that
section of the country, mid it requires on
intimate association with them, ns 0 people,
to know the greatness of thut grand old
Slate. This Regiment enters the contest
at a momentous period. When this con
test first bepnn, we hoped it would be a
short one. We had begun to imagine that
this Government was so strong that it
could not be assailed in any of its vital
parts. We have bad it thrown in our face
that the very cause of this rebellion is a
strength to the enemy. Rut the time hus
come when, if the cause of this difficulty is
a real strength to the eueniv, every good
general in the field will strive to turn that
power to his own account No man will
carry men into the field, sacrifice their
lives, and allow a force to remain opposed
to hint either latent or positive. Jt would
ba bad generalship. We ore sending our
sons to the field pouring out their blood
like water and are we to allow this slave
force to remain without endeavoring to
turn it to our own purposes? Just now it
is a momentous period, when we have made
a lodgment in the heart of the enemy's
country. There the power which the reb
els boast, exists to its maximum extent, il
it is n power. Now let us sec whether
that power is turned to their account or
ours. No man would be more gratified
than himself to see the Government estab
lished oil ft peace basis, as it was twelve
mouths ago, and if any power stands in the
way, let us put it out of the way. He
valued human life, and to the fullest possi
ble extent it shall be spared with the men
under his command; but the Government
must be sustained at all hazards.
Col. Wilson, of Gen. McClellan's staff,
(Massachusetts U. S. Senator.) was then
introduced, and said he had just heard the
most important speech since the wnr com
menced. Gen. Curnside lias struck the
key note, and the heart of the nation will
rcspoud to bis words. 1 uce words como
from the right quarter; from a man who
has periled his life on the field of battle,
and who will do it again in leading brave
men in the battles of the future. And
those words ho hoped would be tho words
and the acts of the freemen who rally
around the flag of our country. It is poor
police in his judgment, simply as a military
niiestioa, to send brave wen from our Nor
thern work shops ami buhls, on tne sou 01
the boutli to suffer and die, wlnlo there is
a power that made all this war that is used
to overthrow the government ol tuis llc-
puhlic. Applause.
A few days snbsenitent to this, iu the
city of Washington, Col. Johc Cochrane,
long a Democratic leader in New York,
member of the hist Congress, nnd a shrewd
politician addressed his Regiment of
Chasseurs on parade, in presence of Sec'y
Cameron and other public men. The Col.
assumed thut this is a war fcr the preser
vation of our national existence n war of
self defense, forced upon us by the South,
and that it was our duty to use every
means in our power to crush the rebellion,
and thereby save our country from destruc
tion. To do this, we had the right to con
fiscate the property of the rebels to seize
their cotton and sell it or burn it, as we
pleased to break np their railroads to
seize their arms nnd munitions of wnr, nnd
to take their lives; and as their slaves were
now seen to be na important clement of
their strength and power against us, we
should tuko possession of them, and, when
necessary, put arms in their bnud, thut
they might assist in fighting this battle for
freedom, and for maintaining their rights
to a common humanity, and that any gen
cral or other officer who failed or refused
to do this was as unfit for the scrvico as he
who should decline to rxplodo a mine that
hud been prepared for the destruction of
his army.
This sentiment was bailed by tho Regi
ment with the most boisterous demonstra
tions of approval consistent with military
rule. Tho Colonel claimed that the view
taken by him was not Abolitionism, but
that tho freedom of the stave had become
a military necessity, and thut it was our
right and duty to make the best possiblo
uso of them, that the great power of tho
rebels might be destroyed, nnd thus bring
tho war to a speedy and successful tcrmin
ation.
At tho closo of Col. Coehraiie'i speech,
and as 10011 ai tho enthusiasm which it
had created was auflicicntlr abated, tho
Regiment colled for tho Secretary of War,
who promptly stepped forward and said
he heartily endorsed every word Colonel
Corcoran had uttered, and as though he
was desirous that bii position on tbii sub
ject might bo fully aud unmistakably un
derstood, ho rrpeatca that the sentiments
put forth by the Colonel were his own, and
that ho was happy to hear them. This
declaration, cerlft'nly unexpected, was hailed
with tremendous cheers; and as tho Secre
tary descended from the platform, tho regi
ment gave three hearty cheers for the Sec
retary of War, and threo more for their
Commander.
These utterances will fall upon rebef
nrs with more terror than wonh) the
booming of an hundred Columbinds on
flank and rear; and If they don't send
Beauregard and Jeff Davis precipitately to'
the Carolinus nnd the Lower Mississippi,
to take care of matters at home, it will be
because despair has palsied heart and!
limb.
Grand Ciiarce of the E.NF.Mr at Lex
ington. A cloud of smoke enveloped the
battle-field which almost hid the combat
ants, and our brave little garrison waleheuV
its dense fold with intense anxiety, waiting
for the grand charge of thousands which
they expected, and stood ready to receive.
At about 9 o'clock it came. A column of
about eight thousand men emerged from
the forest, nnd charged on a run nt the
east barricade, next to tl.e river. Their
approach was the signal for breathless anx
iety within the breastworks. The gal'
hint band spoke not a word, but k Del!
every man of them, with gun leveled, antl
finger on the trigger. The tick of a watch1
might have been heard the length of that
inflexible line, and silence reigned obrokcnr
except by the whispers which direeted
each man to aim steadily, and hold his fire
until the order was given. The swiftly ad
vancing column, emboldened by the silence
of the fo:, gave forth loud hurrahs, and
dashed up almost to the muzzles of tho
guns. Scarcely fifty paces intervened, andf
they seemed on the point of storming over
the works, when ft voice of command rung
out, aud a line of light 0ened across tlie
breastwork and ran along tho entire h'nv
like a flush of lightning. Jt was like an
avalanche of fire sweeping through the tall
prairie grass. The men went down column
after column. Tbey straggle to rise again,
and fell under tbe trampling feet of their
comrades, who, still impetuous, rushed on
ward to the fray. Tbe smoke had hardly
arisen before every gun was loaded, and
again the murderous storm of bullets weut
on its deadly errand, sheathed in flame and
smoke. It crashed through the serried
ranks, and mowed the leaden down by
columns. Still they rallied, and, led ou by
daring officers, again trod over tbe dead
bodies of their comrades with desperate en
ergy. Again the smoke arose, and a
third time the terrible Tolley wns poured
into their faces. The ground was piled
with dead and dying, and in dispair tbe
whole body broke up in disorder and re
treated. They rushed down tbe hill with
an impetuosity which betokened dismay
and fear, and were not rnllied until they
gained the refuge of the woods.
Kicht Great Ri.cnders. We give be
low an article from the columns of the Rc
ligious Herald, a Baptist paper, of Rich
mond, Vn. It shows so much more cooh
iiess of judgment, and candar of mind than
we arc in the habit of Gliding in our South'
ern exchanges, that we deem it worthy of
peciul notice. 1 1 says the South has made
ul least eight great blunders, and enumc
rates them as follows:
1. Iu firing upon Ft. Sumter.
2 In believiuir that tin re would be ft
divided North, and an apathetic Federal
Government.
3. In believ'ng thot they woald hard
the hearty sympathies of Europe.
4. In believing that tho bonds of their
Confederacy would readily bo taken in
Europe.
5. In believing that the military power
of the North would Lo directed in a cru
sade against slavery, rather than bo em
ployed for the overthrow of treaort, and
the establishment of the Union inJ tbo
Constitution.
0. In believing that Northern courogo
nnd physique wtro 110 match for Southern;
or that' in battle one Southerner wbuld be
equal to five Yankees.
1. In believing that tho flag of the Cot
ion Oliuarchv would wave nbove the Cap
itol at Washington, and tbe roll of slavee
be called on Hunker Hill.
8. In bclicvinir that tho fancied omnipo
tence of cotton would domiuute the com
merce of the world. '
