tolls are rendered more familiar, By
~. long continuance of hostilities. 1865
And vet, the sufferings of a single
hattie, if they could be brought heme
- ,hs imagination, would shock the
most obdurate feelings. If we could
lake account of the suffsrings, and UNI
u,terable agonies of those who though
MORALLY wounded yet languish fer hours
in the field of battle, of those who are
rendered miserable for life, by wounds,
which though insufficient to destroy life,
are ipcurable, and destroy its comforts
we should be ready to exclaim, "that
no cause could Justify so costly and hor-
r;ble sacrifice" But how minute and
ipconsiderable a part of the calamities
of war are the sufferings Of one battle;
how many such battles have been fought
since the commencement of the present
contest; and were we to carry back our
retrospect to the last war, of which the
present is the consequence and the con-
tinua,ion, we should find the subject al.
most too vast for the imagination to
grapple with. If we could view those
innumerable victims of war, whose bo-
dies lie immured in the bosom of the
earth, piled into an immense pyra-
mid, whose top would reach almost
to heaven if the blood of these
victims was collected to form most
round this horrible structure; and if
we 60 still further and surround this
pile with the myriads of orphans and
widows, formed by these innumerabls
battles, where could we find the advo-
cate of war who would dare to step
forward and say, Yes, / approve of
this sacrifice, but it is insuffic ent, the
pile must be raised higher, deeper, &
wider moat must be formed for the blood,
the number of widows and orphans mus,
be still further augmented, for this is
war for religion and the preservation of
social order :" No, not a man could
be found, but what would be struck
dumb at the horrid spectacle, the most
infuriate advocate of war would be 81.
lent. This, to be sure, is an imaginary
scene, those bodies lie concealed from
human observation, shrouded by thin
coverings of earth--but to the eye of
the Deity they are present, they are re-
membered by him, and must be ac-
counted for when he maketh an in
QUESTION for blood. And it is an
awful consideration that crimes are
not lessencd, because multitudcs par
ticipate in the preparation of them
every individual must be answerable
at the bar of the Supreme Judge,
for that blood which his Indictment and
concurrence has contributed to she'd.
Nay more, every man who does not. as
far as his sphere of action and influence
extsnds, endeavor to stop the effusion
of human blood, to shorten the duration
and lessen the fury of the pitiless storm
Of war, must be considered as conserving
to the death of his fellow creatures, and
as an aecomplice in their murder. To
those who in reality believe in righte-
Gus Judgment TO come, these are consl-
deralions of weighty import.

TO THE MILLERS.
THOSE who have my improvements
in the manufacture OF -four in use,
are requested to pay for liceRses at tho
following rates.
Rate tie wages and boarding ola good
miller at 800 dollars per year. :
Ascertain the sum saved by the i'm.
provements, in wages and boarding OF
millers in Que ycar-That sum is the
price ! demand for the licence for the
whole term, counting interest for time
past until paid.
RULE FOR RATING.
The best mills in the old way, requlr.
ed at least one miller for every 10 bbls.
flour manufactured per day, but with
my improvements one hand for every
90 bbls. manufactured pew day is suffi-
cient.
Therefore, for every 20 barrels ma
nufactured per day, one miller is saved
~ feet mill stones will manufacture -
barrels-6 feet, So barrels-5 feet, Is
barrels feet, Is barrels per day.
Calculatien Of the gains hg the use Of the
IMPROVEMENTS.
In , mill manutactum twenty
barrels per day, one baud, at
the least. is saved. 8 800
Twenty barrels per day for 500
days, is 5000 barrels per year
which, at 50 cents per bar
rel gain, by making about %
lbs superfine -four mere to
.ch barrel than is made in
the old way, as was proved
in court at the late trials at
baltimore, by the witnesses,
the gain is 5 5000
Total gain for one year is S $500
Without counting other advan-
tages, such as despatching
more business, the convent
enee in grinding at night,
saving from waste, &c.
Total gain fol "a years (the pa
tent term, at $500 per year
is s 4e,2oO
The gain Of one year is eleven times
the price of licence fer the whole patent
term.
The gain for the patent term is $50
times the price of licenee.
rely on the Justice ofthe Courts u
Juries of the United States and must
appeal to them to defend me against the
unjust charges of extortion and OPP
pre- ssion," made by these Millers who
are already rich by the use OF my I'M
provsments and are unwilling to pay at
the rate that others have paid cheerfully.
1t is my duty to insist for both principal
and interest Of them. If any person
thinks the price too high, they may quit
the use on paying interest tor the past
lime.
If, instead of spending time and mo-
new to travel the United States over and
over, to instruct millwrights to make, *
millers to use, and put the public in pos
session of my improvements, l had
formed associations to carry on the mil
ling business, and never sold licencs
except TO associates, l might have gain
ed much more than ever Will get; but
the benefit they have had. and would
no. be charged with oppression or mo-
nopoly.
