Sir C. WOOD, in reply, said he was averse to the occupation of the country ; but it had been under taken with the consent of the two countries. It was intended to send a regiment and a half thither, and the greatest care would be taken to preserve the health of the troops. THE PLAGUE IN RUSSIA. Sir J., PAKINGTON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the attention of her Ma • jesty's Government had been directed to the disease now prevailing in Russia and some parts of Prussia ; and whether the Government proposed to take any steps to ascertain the true nature of the disease, and avert its in troduction into this country ? Sir G. GREY said the attention of the Government had been called to the subject, and instructions had been sent to her Majesty's ambassador at St. Petersburg, to inquire and report into the nature, origin, and mode of treatment of the disease that had appeared there. Instructions had also been sent out to her Majesty's ambassadors at Berlin and Vienna to make inquiry, anddfrections had also been forwarded to her Majesty's consuls in the Baltic to send the earliest information to the Govern ment of the appearance of the disease at any of the ports. It was the intention of the Government to send a medical officer to St. Petersburg to report upon the disease, and a notice had been forwarded to the customs to be particular in examining ships coming from that part of the world. He had received information by telegraph from Russia that the disease was a fever hitherto unknown in Russia, and that the deaths had been upwards of 80 in a day, but that it was, happily, diminishing. He had received information from Berlin by telegraph that an unknown disease had appeared there, but it was not known for certain that it came from Russia. He had also received a telegram from Dantzic stating that the disease was one that affected the brain, and mostly attacked children. From Warsaw he had received intelligence that no epidemic was raging there; and also the same intelligence from Konigsburg and Memel. A telegram, dated to-day from Stettin, which he had re ceived but an hour ago, stated that no disease had appeared there up to the present time. The most active steps had been taken to obtain the earliest information by telegraph of the appearance of disease. THE DEFENCE OF CANADA. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Lord ELCHO drew attention to the speeches and opin ions of several leading Canadian statesmen on the question of the defences, and from which it appeared that the colo nists expected that their portion of the expenses was to be raised on imperial credit ; that the responsibility of this country extended to giving protection to every man in the colony, and that England was to supply the gunboats re quired on the lakes. *Under these circumstances it was the duty of the Government to come to a clear understanding with Canada in reference to what the mother country could or could not do ; and ho thought they ought to say that as long as Canada - stood by us we would stand by her. Discussing the probability of defending Canada effectively the noble lord undertook to say that if he went beyond the narrow circle of military official authority, for every prac tical man who held that Canada could be defended there were ten who would declare that it could not. The same authorities would tell them that the only points that should be defended were Quebec and Halifax, particularly Hali fax, and that we should maintain in Canada a number of regiments sufficient to garrison these places in time of war, and to train the colonial forces in time of peace. But what they attached most ; importance to was the fortifying of Halifax and making it impregnable —a - second Gibraltar, in short. England, however, could not enter into arrange ) ments to furnish unlimited credit, or take upon herself to erect defenceS at Montreal; Kingston; Toronto, and along the whole line. of frontier. Neither could she send 30,000 troops to man the defences, nor compete with the United States on the lakes In the construction of gunboats. As a matter, of policy, moreover, it would not be wise or for the interest of the Canadians themselves to erect permanent fortifications, to burden their country with debt, and make it the seat of hopeless battle in the event of an American war. He by no means wished to desert Canada, but he did recommend that a similar course should be adopted with regard to her that had been pursued towards Turkey and the Danubian provinces. In conclusion, the noble lord moved for copy of papers and extracts of correspondence relative to the proposed Canadian defences and tho share of the total cost which is to be rOspectively borne by Canada and the United Kingdom. In seconding this motion, Sir T. HAY contended that the only portion of the North American provinces that could be defended was the eastern portion—Montreal, Quebec, Lake Ontario, and the St. Lawrence; but unless forces were at once sent out, which could only be done after ter minating the convention regulating the marine of each country on the lakes, it would be impossible to improvise a sufficient naval force for the purpose in the event of an American war suddenly breaking out. The only true base for the defence of Canada was Halifax and Nova Scotia; and he urged the necessity of expediting the arrangements for finishing the inter-colonial railways, and thus complet ing the communication between Quebec and Halifax. Mr. BUXTON argued that it was the duty of Govern ment to submit to the deliberate decision of the people of Canada the question whether they, in fact, desired the United Kingdom to take part in their defence on land, or whether they considered that her doing so greatly increased the risk of their country becoming the theatre of war. Colonel SYKES recommended the withdrawal of the British troops from Canada, that good terms should be maintained with the United States, and that if the latter resolved to attack the colony we should only attempt her defence by naval operations conducted on the coast. _ _ Mr. ADDERLEY combated the arguments of Lord Elcho with regard to tho possibility and policy of assisting in the defence of Canada, insisting that it was the duty of England to encourage the colonists to make strongholds along their frontier, which they themselves should garrison, and which might be as easily defended as the new fortifica tions at Portsmouth. It was the interest of this country to maintain the independence of our North American pro vinces ; and if it was neither impossible nor impolitic to defend them then the sooner they were enabled to develop° their resources and strengthen their defences the better. If there were some doubt at the present moment as to the feeling of the Canadians, it arose from the fact that the question of federation still remained undetermined, in con sequence of the reluctance displayed by New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to enter it. The time would soon come, however, when the federation would be completed, and that once accomplished, he had no doubt it would be equal to taking charge of its own defence. India.

After some observations from Mr. KINGLAXE, Mr. J. B. SMITH reminded the house that Canada was virtually an independent country, being in possession of self-government; that her people were in a very pros perous condition, and that all the public lands had been made over to her by England. It was the duty of the Canadians, therefore, to provide for their own defence. But if we went to war with the United States, which he did not consider to be likely, he objected to choosing Canada as the battle-field. Remarki were also made by Mr. Alderman Rose, Sir F. Smith, who deprecated the revival of the discussion, and Captain Anson, who repeated his previously expressed con viction that Canada was defenceless in a war with the United States. Sir J. PAKINGTON complained of the manner in which the Government had produced Colonel Jervois's report. He had been informed that the roport itself was withheld, and that the document laid before the house was merely the letter that covered it. How was it, he asked, that the re- ports of Colonel Gordon, Colonel Wetherell, and others, had not been produced? Further, he complained that the Go+ernment had misled the house with regard to the rola- ions existing between themselves and the Canadian minis- ters on the precise policy to be adopted. Mr. C. FORTESCUE denied that tho Government wore in possession of any reports that conflicted with the recom mendations of Colonel Jervois. General PEEL argued that Canada was perfectly defen sible, and hinted that such debates as the presont were cal culated to do groat mischief by discouraging the colonists, whose sentiments were thoroughly loyal and patriotic. Mr. LAIRD remarked that in case of war gun-boats could be built in this country in pieces and subsequently put together on the Canadian lakes ; but unfortunately we had no means of repairing vessels either at Bermuda or Halifax. After a few words from the Marquis of HARTINGTON, Lord ELOHO consented to withdraw his motion, as he understood that the papers he required wero not in existence. The motion having been withdrawn, the house went into committee of supply, and voted the sum of £1,748,000 PRICE 4d. S TAMPED sd. for superannuations and allowances ; and £79 . ,000 for dis embodied militia and yeomanry c ava l ry.

The Trusts Administration (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. on account of Civil Service estimates. The further consideration of the army estimates was then proceeded with, and the following votes wore passed :- 02,200 for Chelsea and Kilmainhara aospitals 4131,000 The Pilotage Order Confirmation Bill passed through committee.

The draft of a bill to amend the laws relating to theatres and other places of public amusement, which was brought in by Mr. Locke on the 10th of last month, has been published. The first law which it proposes to amend is the 25th of George 11. c. 36, commonly called the act of King George 11., the second section of which enacted that no house, room, garden, or other place should be kept for public dancing, music, or other public enter tainment of the like kind, in the cities of London and Westminster, or within 20 miles thereof, with out a licence had for that purpose from the last pre ceding Michaelmas quarter sessions of the peace. The first clause of Mr. Locke's bill enlarges the scope of this second section of the act of George 11., making it apply also to places kept for the perform ance of stage plays, not only in and around London and Westminster, but throughout Great Britain, of course with the requisite variation in the matter of jurisdiction as regards Scotland. The second clause of the bill provides that no place shall be licensed for any of the purposes contemplated by it unless it is shown, to the satisfaction of the magistrates, that the place for which it is sought is constructed and arranged in :conformity with the rules pre scribed in the schedule. By the third clause, sec tion three of the act of George 11. relative to an in scription over a door or entrance and to the hour of opening, is repealed. The powers of the Lord Chamberlain, of justices of the peace, and of th e Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, are saved by clauses four and six. The fifth enlarges the application of the Lord Chamberlain's power of licensing plays ; and the seventh extends the exist ing enactments for the protection of authors of dra- matic pieces, musical compositions, &c., so that they shall be applicable to places licensed under Mr. Locke's proposed act for the public performance of stage plays. Appended to the bill is a schedule of rules, in tended to secure the safety of the public in theatres. These provide-1. That, with the exception of pri vate box lobbies, to which the public have not free access, every hall or corridor shall be at least five feet wide, and one foot more in width for each 100 persons over 500 who are to be accommodated in the part of the building to which it leads. 2. That in each part of the building there shall be doorway access of six feet width at least for each 500 persons to be accommodated in that part; and one foot more for each additional 100 ; and that no box or inter nal doorway shall be less than three feet wide. 3. That all doors shall be hung so as to open outwards, that is, towards the way of egress. 5. That all alleys and gangways in the audience part of the house shall be kept free from seats and every other obstruction to the free ingress and egress of the pub lic. 6. That all gaslights in any part of the build ing, which are or maybe at any time within two feet of any inflammable substance, shall be effi ciently guarded with wirework or otherwise. Fatal Accident on the South Devon Railway. PLYMOUTH, April 6. During Wednesday night an accident occurred on the South Devon Railway near Totnes, through which Geo. Barratt, a stoker, was killed ; and High more, a driver, received such injuries as to leave but very faint hopes of his recovery. The two unfor tunate men, in company with two guards, left Ply mouth at 8.5 p.m. in charge of the night up-goods train for Exeter. The train reached Totnes about half way to Exeter, and passed on at high speed in perfect safety at about 10.30. But on arriving about 300 yards beyond, and passing over the railway bridge that crossed the River Dart, the engine, from some unexplained cause, ran off the rails, dragging with it 25 out of the 26 heavy trucks that formed the train, the tail guard's van alone remaining on the rails. The engine was not brought up until its wheels were deeply imbedded in the adjoining marsh. About 100 yards of the rails and sleepers of the line were torn up. The boiler exploded, but whether from the pri mary effects :of the steam, or from some outward injury to the casing through the running off theline, has not yet been determined. Barratt met with his injuries through the explosion, and died before he could be, taken into Totnes. Highmore was promptly removed to the waiting-room of the Totness Station, and medical assistance rendered him, but from the fearful injuries he had received it was con sidered that he could survive but a few hours. The guards escaped uninjured, and, on theirrecovery from the shock, hurried up the line with the lights of the train, to warn the night down express from London that was due within a few minutes of the accident, both lines having been completely blocked up. The news of the accident was also forwarded from Totnes shortly afterwards to Newton and Ply mouth by telegraph. From the latter station Mr. Compton, the newly-appointed general traffic super intendent, Mr. Avery, the goods traffic superin tendent, with assistance, arrived at the scene of the accident shortly after 1 p.m., by a special train. Assistance was also subsequently forwarded from Newton. The down express train was luckily made aware of the accident in time to prevent a collision that might otherwise in a few minutes have fear fully added to the calamity. On its arrival at the obstruction the passengers got out and walked into Totnes, where they were sent on to Plymouth by the special train, arriving there at 3 a.m. Active measures were then taken to clear the line, which was accomplished in time to prevent the morning mail train from London being delayed any further than about one hour.

It is also styled ' remittent fever, or typhus recur rens,' or 6 bilious typhoid fever,' or synocha,' or milia.ry fever,' or typhinia.' It was unknown in Russia, until eight months ago, when Professor Botkin called attention to it as a fever he had never seen, though foreign physicians had described it. There is much ordinary typhus in St. Petersburg. The official journal states that the typhus and the typhoid fever and the febris recurrens' prevailing in St. Petersburg Napierreports h from Berli n , A pril 5, that anave now slightly diminished." unknown disorder has appeared along the valley of the Vistula, and especially at Elbing. The Prussian Government is not aware that it came from St. Petersburg. The Medical Gazette of St. Petersburg says the epidemic is called " revena,nte." It was during last autumn that the disease broke out siinultaneously in the north-east and south-west of the Russian empire. M. Gworling, the government doctor at Penn, announced that he had seen 40 cases of this disease, which commences with cold and shivering, followed by great heat without perspiration, 'ac companied by colic, headache, delirium, [general debility, and sometimes with a flow of blood:from the nose. The disease lasts from five to six days, after which the invalid recovers his appetite, fails into a sound sleep, and the fever , quits him. The fever returns after a short interval, but again ceases, and the doctor has observed this to have happened three or four times. Quinine taken in large doses cures the fever, and removes delirium, but does not produce decisive effects, nor is sufficient to arrest the progress of the disease. The doctor adds that he has.seen more than 300 persons• attacked with the disease in the course of the years 1857 and 1858 in America, where it raged with such violence that it was mistaken for the yellow fever.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. LAND ESTATES COURT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the first reading of this bill, the object of which, ho stated, was to confer on the court in Ireland the same power that was possessed by the court in England of continuing the registry of land which worked so beneficially in this country. The bill was read a first time. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Brighton, Hove, and Preston Constant Water Sor vice Bill was read a second time. The Crystal Palace District Gas Bill and the Merthyr.. Tydvil Local Board of Health Bill were also read a second time. The Whitehapel and Holborn Improvement Bill was read a third time and passed. The Bank of Ireland Bill, and East India High Courts (Amendments) Bill were also read a third time and passed. PRIVATE BILLS, &c. Lord REDESDALE moved that no bill brought from the House of Commons should be read a second time after the 29th of June next. That no bill confirming any pro visional order of the Board of Health,' or authorising any enclosure of lands under the special report of the Inclosure Commission of England and Wales, or for confirming the scheme of any charity commissioners of England and Wales should bo read after the 29th June next, and that no bill confirming any provisional order of the Board of Trade under the general Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, should be read a second time after the same date. He also moved that when a bill should have passed the house with amendments these orders should not apply to any new bill sent up from the House of Commons, which the chairman of committees should report to the house was substan tially the same as the bill so amended. These formal motions were agreed to. • PRIVATE BILL COSTS BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, The Duke of CLEVELAND moved the insertion of an amendment with a view to protect landowners from what he contended would be a great injustice if the present bill were carried in its integrity. By its provisions the land owners would be compelled to pay the costs of an unsuc cessful opposition in defending his rights, if the committee should consider the opposition vexatious. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he did not think the amendment of the noble duke would effect his object. Many persons who had no locus standi induced landowners to come forward and oppose a bill, and, under the guise of landowners, they were really the opponents of the bill. He suggested an alteration to the effect that the committee on a private bill should have the power of taxing the opponents of the bill when they considered that opposition vexatious, and not, in fact, promoted by the landowners themselves. The alteration of the Lord Chancellor was agreed to, and she bill, with some other amendments, was read a third ,ime and passed. The East India (Governor-General's Powers, &c.) Bill was read a second time and passed. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. NEW MEMBER. Lieut.-Colonel BROWNE took the oaths and his seat for Evesham, in the place of the late Sir H. WILLOUGHBY. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed:— Acton and Brentford Railway—Banbury Water—Barnet, Hendon, Hampstead, and London Railway—Bristol and Exeter Railway—Bristol Docks—Coventry Central Sta tion and Southam Junction Railway —Great Eastern Railway (Additional Powers)—Littleborough Gas—Man chester Improvement—Maryport and Carlisle Railway— Metropolitan and St. John's Wood Railway—Redhill Gas— Scarborough and Whitby Railway —South Metropolitan Gas—Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway —Sunderland Corpo ration—Birmingham Water—Cheltenham Water—East London Railway—Fulham Railway—North Eastern Rail way (Pelaw and other branches)—and Metropolis Sewage and Essex Reclamation Bill WIMBLEDON COMMON BILL. Lord BURY moved the second reading of this bill, which was calculated to convert the common from what it was at present, a dismal swamp, into a place of recreation and enjoyment. The object of the bill was to carry into effect the proposals of Earl Spencer, the lord of the manor, to dedicate the common to the use of the public in perpetuity. There were objections made to the scheme of the noble earl, but ho was only anxious to con voy the common to the public in the most beneficial man ner. The principal objectors to the bill, he believed, were owners of villas in the surrounding neighbourhood. If the bill was rejected, and it was said that Lord Spencer had no legal rights to give, he would consider himself absolved from the promises he had made, and he would deal with the matter as he thought fit. Mr. COX moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He hoped the house would support the decision of the committee, which had reported that it was not desirable that the common should be fenced round or enclosed. If the common rights were extinguished the common would no longer be a common, and the public would soon be deprived of the rights they possessed. Ho was not a villa holder in the neighbourhood, neither did he know a single owner of property near the common. Ile opposed the bill on the part of the 3,000,000 of his fellow creatures who usod the common as a place of re creation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DRAX opposed the bill. Ho contended that Lord Spencer had no power to enclose the common without an act of Parliament. Mr. LOCKF, as chairman of the committee which had reported on the matter, denied that ho had been actuated by unfairness. He could not understand what the noble lord actually proposed, on the part of Lord Spencer, to bind himself to. All ho could make out was that Lord Spencer proposed that, if his legal rights were not at tacked, ho would give up fencing in the common. It had been said that Lord Spencer was giving up a great deal, but he confessed ho never could be made to see it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LOWE thought that some injustice was about to be dono to Lord Spencer. lio thought that whon a nobleman proposed to give up 688 acres of land to the public, his offer should not bo summarily disposed of without more inquiry. Mr. ROEBUCK thought the house at the present mo ment was totally unfit to decide upon tho matter. (Hear, hear.) He confessed ho knew nothing of the matter, and he thought that out of common decency and common sense the bill ought to be sent before a proper tribunal—a select committee. (Hear, hear.) Mr. L. KING thought it much better the bill should bo sent to a select committee than to reject it on its second reading. He should vote for such a proposal. Mr. PEACOCK assured the hon. member for Calne that Lord Spencer could not do as he pleased with the Common. If he had sat upon the committee he would have found that Lord Spencer's rights wore not so clear as he now imagined. Lord ELCHO said he thought the feeling of the house was favourable to the second reading. (No, no.) A strong feeling, he believed, was entertained at the present moment against enclosure, and he confessed he was of that opinion. He had had an opportunity since the discussion began of speaking to his noble friend (Lord Spencer), and he was quite agreeable for the bill to be referred to a select com mittee. Alderman ROSE said Lord Spencer was not going to give up so much as was thought. The common was 1,000 acres in extent ; but Lord Spencer was going by act of Parliament to get a property of 300 acres of the district. He did not think the rights of Earl Spencer were so very great. All he ever could discover was that hi s l or d s hip bad h r g e gin t g ho grav el,feeding, and cu tti ng t ur f. Hi s lordship up g committee to believe that he was giving eat rights, but wh en asked to do so he was o e r i s i h p t of wished s digging unable to comply. Mr. W. COWPER was of opinion that the bill ought to be read a second time. He thought the proposal a very valuable ono, and he was sure the House only desired that Wimbledon Common should become the property of the public. The motion for a second reading should be agreed to, especially as Lord Spencer had consented to the with drawal of that portion of the bill respecting the fence, and other objectionable matters. Sir G. BOWYER thought the bill ought to bo road a second time and referred to a select committee. The bill was then read a second time without a CANADA (TRANSPORT OP TROOPS). Mr. S. AYTOUN moved an address for returns of the sums paid out of the Imperial Treasury during the years 1862, 1863, and 1864, for the transport of troops to Canada; the expense of maintaining thorn while them; for arms and military stores of all kinds ; whether for the use of the regular troops or of the Canadian militia and volunteers; or for any otheY object connected with the defence of Canada : and, of all sums expended by the Colonial Go vernment during the years 1862, 1863, and 1864, for the pay or clothing of volunteers, for providing arms or stores, or for any other object connected with the defence of Canada.—Ordered. THE WICKHAM UNION. Mr. DISRAELI said on an early day he should call the attention of the house to some papers relating to the Wickham Union in Buckinghamshire. THE INVASION OF BHOOTAN. Lord DITNZELLIN asked the Secretary of State for AMERICA. THE CONFEDERATE CONGRESS ON CONFEDE. RATE PROSPECTS. The Congress of the Confederate States has issued an appeal to the Southern people, from which the following passages are extracted : Our absolute surrender and submission to the will of the con peror are the only conditions vouch safed by our arrogant foe. We are told that if we will lay down our arms and place our lives, liberty, property, and domestic institutions at the feet of President Lincoln, he will be merciful to us. Upon his clemency we must rely to save us from universal confiscation and extermination. Yes ; these are the conditions upon which the people of the sovereign States composing this Confe deracy may be allowed to do—what ? To return into the Union from which they solemnly and deliberately withdrew themselves because their interests and their honour required it, and their repugnance .to which for years of remorseless and cruel war have served to intensify. Thanks be to God, who controls and over-rules the counsels of men, the haughty insolence of our enemies, which they hoped would intimidate and break the spirit of our people, is producing the very contrary effect. From every part of the country there comes up in response a shout of mingled indignation and defi ance. A noble enthusiasm re-animates our gallant army, who have been battling so long for freedom and independence. Let us all be united now. Let there be no parties or factions amongst us. Let us rise to the height of the great occasion. Let us all be willing to spend and be spent in the cause of our country. Let us contribute freely all that we have, if need be, to carry on the war until our final triumph is secured. Let us take fraternal counsel together, and calmly consider our conditions and prospects. Such a survey, we believe, must tend to re-assure and encourage even the less sanguine. The extent of our territory, the food-producing capacity of our soil, the amount and character of our popu lation, are elements of strength which, carefully husbanded and wisely employed, are amply suffi cient to insure our final triumph. The passage of hostile armies through our country, though produc tive of cruel suffering to our people, and great pecuniary loss, gives the enemy no permanent ad vantage or foothold.. To subjugate a country, its civil government must be suppressed by a continu ing military force, or supplanted by another, to which the inhabitants• yield a voluntary or forced obedience. The passage of hostile armies through our territory cannot produce this result. Perma nent garrisons would have to be stationed at a sufficient number of points to strangle all civil government before it could be pretended, even by the United States Government it self, that its authority was extended over these states. How many garrisons would it require? How many hundred thousand soldiers would suffice to suppress the civil government of all the states of the Confederacy, and to establish over them, even in name and form, the authority of the United States ? In a geographical point of view, therefore, it may be asserted that the conquest of these Confederate States 'is impracticable. If we consider the food producing capacity of our soil, we need feel no apprehension as to our ability to feed the people and any army we may put into the field. Although the occupation by the enemy of his ruthless policy of destroying the harvest, granaries, and agricultural implements of our people wherever he moves, has, undoubtedly, diminished the amount of our cereals ; still, in view of the fact that in every state, without exception, its agricultural labour has been devoted almost exclusively to the raising of breadstuffs (while, before the war it was mainly devoted to the production of cotton, tobacco, and other exports), it is impossible to doubt that there is an ample supply of food in the country. Our transportation, it is true, is defective and inadequate, but this may be indefinitely improved by more energetic efforts and more thorough and systematic organisation. We cannot believe, therefore, that on our bountiful soil, so richly blessed by nature, there is any danger of our failing in this great contest for want of food— of our being starved into submission to the hateful yoke of the conqueror The people of the United States are becoming weary of this war. The foreign material for their armies is beginning to fail them. The mutterings of discontent at the prospect of a further draft upon their home popu lation are beginning to be heard in their large cities. The prospects of a war, indefinitely pro longed, is alarming their capitalists. Public credit must sooner or later collapse under the burden of expenditures, the magnitude of which the most skilful financier cannot venture to predict. Success gives us a country and a proud position among the nations of .the earth. Failure makes us the vassals of an arrogant people, secretly, if not openly, hated by the most enlightened and elevated portions of mankind. Success records us for ever in letters of light upon one of the most glorious pages of history. Failure will compel us to drink the cup of humiliation even to the bitter dregs of having the history of our struggle written by New England historians ! Success is within our reach. We have toiled and panted onward nearly to the goal. We have almost grasped the costly price of inde pendence —never won except through anguish and blood. The crown stands ready to encircle the fair brow of our young republic. Theshades of our martyred heroes hover over us and beckon us on. The fearful entreaties of our mothers, wives, and daughters, to save them from nameless horrors, urge us forward. Will we pause ? Can we falter ? Will we allow the weapons which • the God of battles hal so often directed to the smiting of the de spoilers of our homes now to drop from our nerveless hands ? Shall we be discouraged by the superior number of the enemy? The battle to the strong Is not given, While the Judge of right and wrong Sits in Heaven ! The God of David still Guides the pebble at his will ; There are giants yet to kill, Wrongs unshriven. But the enemy has already put forth his utmost strength. He has made his most gigantic effort. He has strained his energies to their greatest ten sion. He has taxed his resources to their utmost limit. He is almost spent and breathless with his tremendous exertions. Let us stand firm. Let us he calm and resolute. Let us show that our faith is in our cause and in His guidance, who shapes the destinies of nations—" is fixed and cannot move." In that faith, and with humble reliance on that'guidance, let us hope all things, endure all things ; and when we strike the invaders of our country, let religion, patriotism, love, honour, noble pride—every sentiment sacred and dear to the heart o f man—nerve our arms and give vigour to the blow. Then shall we conquer the peace for which we all so ardently yearn. Thus shall we make the memories of our slaughtered sons and brothers glori ous and immortal. Thus shall we compel the nations of the earth to receive and welcome us among them. Thus shall we make the plough and the reaping hook replace the cannon and the sword, and our ravaged fields smile once more with teeming har vests. Thus shall we return our devoted soldiers to their long-abandoned homes, and enable our people once more to sit each under his own vine and fig tree, with none to make them afraidiThu4 Phan w 6, APHOTOGRAPHIC CURIOSITY.- With a copy of THE SUN Newspaper is presented GRATIS (with a Supplement) a MINIATURE PHOTO GRAPHED FAG-SIMILE of the FRONT PAGE of THE SUN of MONDAY, the 2d January, 1865. *,,,* For the convenience of Suoscribers wishing to pre serve the Photograph a suitable frame is provided, and may be had at "The Sun" Office, Price is.
