Washington, 25th. A telegram from

can only be conjectured. In the meantime
there is equal activity in forwurdiug troops

The latest ndvice from the main body

the troops which wero engaged in the Sa

pedition overland toTe.xes. On the depar
ture of the steamer, troops were moving
towards Ilrnslieur City and Rerwlcks liny,
as fast us they could be forwurded. The
force that was originally to go by that

Lovaltv. Theio is no law for loyalty
any moie than among the ancient, there
was no law against ingratitude. As the
latter was u crime so base thai to legislate
against it was deemed idle, so the former is
a virtue so grand that legislation can no
more compel its practice than Congress
can constrain men lo be Christians.
In timi s of peace, a man may be a good
citizen who abides by the constitution and
the laws, but in days like these, of public
peril and disaster, he is not a good citizen
who docs not go beyond all written codes,
come out from' behind tho pitiful shelter of
all legal enactment nnd provision, nnd
trampling all Fellishness und coweidico und
attributes of his meaner nature under his
feet, sav to the laud that necdo him, here
nm 1 ami the treasure that thou hast given

It is n sort of inspiration loyalty is
that lifts weak men, timid men, but baso
men never, up to the stature of giunls and
the spirit of martyrs, and makes of
nuiot uclfjfhbor. fcomutiini'S, the " Gi

It requires a grand manhood to be loyal;

Will you not halt your bravo columns, und
stay your gorgeous career for u thin spuce

The Eltviun winds sweeping down the

It is with intense und multifariously
proud satisfaction that he gazed for llie
last time upon our holy fl.ig thut symbol
und sign of un ndored triuiiy cotton, nig
gers nnd chivulry. Ho slill sees it in the
little camp on the Chowan, lied to the
peak of his palmetto pole, and floating out
over the boundless Confederacy, und reviv
ed relics of ages gone, banner of our king
of few days mid full of trouble. And that
polo in its tapering uprightness typifying
some of tho grand beauties of Its national
