of war in time of wet. The inn that one, be said, if iso
mash, is that sans ere property. Is then, or bas ikon
ever been, any question that by the law of war, property,
both of enemies and friende, may be taken when needed?
And is it not needed whenever taking it helps us or hurts
the enemy' Armies the world over destroy enemies' pro-

The war has certainly programed as favourably for us ewe
the haus of the pronoun:es as before. I know as fully
as one can know the °piens of others that some
et the commanders of our armies in the field
who have given our most important victories believe the
emancipation policy and the aid of the coloured troops coo
statute the heaviest blows yet dealt to the rebellion, and
that at least one of those important sureness could not
have been achieved but for the aid of black soldier.,
Among the oomeinden holding them views are some who
have erver had any effinity with whale called abolitionism
or with republican party politics, but who hold them
purely as military opinion. I submit their opinions as
hang entitled to some weight against the objection of tee

to save the Union. I Issued the prociamatio• on purpose to
aid you in wing the Union. Whenever you shall have
communed ell resistance to the Union, if I shall urge you to
coolieue fighting, it will been apt time then for you to
declare that you will not fight to free Degrees. I thought
that in your struggle for the Usion, to whatever extent the

weekeeed the enemy in hie renitence to you. Do you think
differiestly ? I thought that whatever negroes can be got

soldiers to do in saving the Union. Does it appear other.

federate., he was soot able to boast of a number of pre-

to be relieved of their physical ills. One

admitted his guilt. The ecclesiastical authorities have since
removed him from the place, to the great satisfaction of the
municipality and the more enlightened of the inhabitants.
