shown some degree of moderation, if it
did not display much good feeling in kill

seems to have confined its anger entirely
to the cars and the persons injured. The
power that would throw heavy cars filled

Our readers will remember the touching let

ton, which is, like the other, remarkable for its
tone Of sadness mingled with true christian
patience
But now / have been called to part with
all on earth; all, however dear, have been
banished from my sight; the earth and the
sky are gone; light and beauty have given
place to darkness; even my own form has
persisted from my sight. The sun no longer
rises and sets. Perpetual night reigns, but o
starless night. / feel the breath of heaven as
it passes by; hear its mournful music; indeed
! live only in a world of sound. Death
seems to have begun his work, and left it hall
finished. The darkness of the grave surrounds
me; the forms of loved oues have vanished;
but their voices still sound in my ear. Time
is at an end, and there is no longer succession
of days-the next light / am to behold will be
that of the eternal world-the next morning
that bursts upon my vision, that of the resur
recton. But this is welcome thought. My
mind runs forward and anticipates with JOY the
scenes next to open upon my sight When
my spirit sinks within me as l think of wha,
have lost in this world, then find an unfa
ding source of consolation in anticipating the
light, the JOY, the friends of our earlier days
who have gone to heaven"

Thursday concludes semi-oficial article OIL
our relations with England, as follows:
1--WE are satisfied, upon such inquiry as we
have been able to make, that no cause, induce
ment. or plausible pretext of war, or even Of
serious misunderstanding, can be found in any
question now pending between the two coun-
tries, and that, therefore, no apprehension on
the subject need be entertained by the friends
of peace either in Great Britain or the Uni
ted States"
We believe this to be the simple truth, and
based as the statement is upon the best sour
ees Of information, it ought to be quoting IN

War with ENGLAND.

The following extracts from the London
Times, upon this subject, will give oul
readers a faint idea Of what this wordy
war" is about:
AT this moment North America is in
profound peace with the whole world; vel
it is not the less true that in her ports are
fitting out at this moment piratical flibus
tering expeditions, destined to carry wal
and bloodshed into the dominions of an
unoffending neighbor. These expeditions
do not receive the sanction of the Amer
lean Government, are not equipped by
its funds, will not be conducted by its
officers-but their preparation is, never
theless, well known to the President and
his administration, and receive no check
from that quarter. This liberation, We
are willing to suppose. proceeds from
weakness merely, and would be changed
for vigorous action, only that the power
to act is utterly wanting
England has every wish and every in
terest to remain at peace with America
The immense trade which we carry on
with her, the community of language and
of blood, the absense Of any ground OF
dispute or rivalry, all plead forcibiy in
the same direction. How strange that
under such circumstances, we should be
driven to arms merely because it is the
will of a portion Of the sovereign people
to make war upon us, unsupported and
unapproved, but also, neither prevented
nor arrested by the Government. We
desire, above all things, continuance Of
peace, out if it be the determination OF
any large portion of the people Of the
United States to force war upon us, we
shall know how to meet it and repel it
without relaxing for an instant our grippe
on the throat of the reeling and lettering
giant Of the North.
We have never been disposed to yield
one point Of national dignity 10 any
threats or recrimination, even of the State
with whom we are above all things anx
ious to maintain friendly relations, nor
would we now, although involved in a
mighty war, counsel any mean or timid
compliance. We are strong enough to
maintain our right, and to vindicate it, il
need be, in the last resort. But we re-
gard such course with unfeigned abhor.
rence and repugnanee, and, although for.
hidden to trust in the moderation Of a
portion at least of the American Govern
ment, we still rely with confidence on the
good sense Of her people, and the innu-
merable reconciling influences that con.
tiuually mediate between u.s."
