So calamitous is war, and such
burdens and hardsbips does it bring
upon the middiing and the poorer
ranks in society. both which com
monty have to bear the hardest brunt
of it that the restoration of peace,
after a very distressing war. is one
of the most welcome and joyful Of all
earthly events.
Mr.. Cent?. German writer treat
Jag on the subject Of a baneful war
in Germany, described the eagerness
Of the people for peace. by saying
-" Had board been carried round
the hereditary dominions, with the
single sentence Inscribed, Peace is
signed, no one would have stopped
to ask the terms"
The difference between eontem-
plating war at distance and really
feeling it at home, is like the differ.
ence between beholding the picture
of lion upon a sign post and being
actually in the paws Of the beast
himself. Nor would the great body
of any civilized people be willing TO
engage in war of vast magnitude
and hazard, and that without the
NEST imperious nceessity-Were they
to foresee the evils which it WOULD
inevitably bring upon them--the
thousands Of precious lives it would
sacriiice-,he monstrous public debts
it would incur-and the demoraiizing
effects on society that it would oc-
easion.
In most eases a popular war, is

made his escape from said vessel on the
night OF the 23d, about 10 miles below
this city: it is not known whether he
went on shore on the north or south
side of James River, but the latter is
mos; probable, as he would perhaps go
TO Petersburg, where he has wife and
several children. James lisa bright mu

has 6ns glossy black hair, which curis
very much, pretty long whiskers, a

and retains large scar from having
: been badly cut---he had on, when he es-
