WOInan's Courage,

No one can have read the statement of the
clerk Of the steamer which went down on FRI
day night, without being struck by his descrip-
ton of the bearing of the ladies. "Thcy were
pale, but silent; there was not crv or q
shrek" The fortitude and resignation of men
many have failed, but theirs failed not. So it
is always in the great cxigcncies which women
are called to meet When troubles or dangers
are but slight, they are more excited and more
alarmed than mcr. But let an overwhelming
calamity bury the fortunes and hopes of the
husband, or father or brother in sudden night,
let disease or accident strike him down and
stretch him on the bed Of kccnest suffering,
then when strong mems hearts fail them, when
their nerves are unstrung when quaking fear
or hopeless despondency takes possession of
their souls, the frai weak woman rises with
elasticity and calm determination to the dc.
nands of the terrible emergency, and with un-
trembling hard and cheerful voice she hastcns
to perform those blessed ministrations far which
the might of men was inadequate How many
scenes of danger have We heard dcscribcd-con-
ffagration, assassinations, shipwrccks-in which
women have, with heroic patience and sub
mission, bowed mcckly to their fate, and have.
taught the sublime lesson of Christian rcsigna-
ton 10 the husband and fathers who were with

comes strengtll-hcr scnsiLilityis swallowed up
with faith. There were men of rcnown in the
Lady ElgilI-mcn whose names are known

did a Drawer or more heroic deed than was
abhicvcd 10y those noble women who sat in 81.

lief that the more moderate counsels of her

So states the Washington correspondent Of
the New York Journal of Commerce. The
war now raging between the North and South
is Il war of sections composed Of civilizations
utterly and essentially distinct aid different.
The prpfrsscd object OF all parties mt the South
is the defense OF the rights of the States and Of
slavery. The soal and only inspiring principle
of the Black Republicans is oppo>ili"n to and
haticd of slavery, and the desire and drtrru-
nation finally to rxlngui>ll it. 1t is the settled
bcIict OF the opponents oi slavery, if MIR. Seward
may l,c considered their representative man.,
that Linculn's election will DC but the imitation
of this policy. Such is also the opinion Of u
minority at Tie South. If that event takes

the case if Lincoln be elected. If South Caro-
lima, Alabama, Georgia, or any sing Ic South
