This Vile War.

We give the following from the Concord(N. H. Standard of the Sd, as the article which caused that paper to be mobbed:
 Men of New Englandl It is war waged against your interests, your pockets, ycur future prosperity; the welfare of your families, the tu, ture of your wives and little children. The sad loss of life at Bull Run-nay the thousands of brave hearts which are yet to be sacrificed, 1t Black Republican demagogues and treasury plunderers are permitted to carry on their pro gramme of blood-are but as feather in the balance when weighed against the demorahza- ton. the prostration, the crushing destruction this internal war will surely bring upon every New England home. Fathersl God protect your dear wives and helpless children who will have to suffer most from this infamous, fratr- cidal war.
 Rich men-thoSe who are reputed to be such. Where is your fancied wealth? What IS your real estate worth to-day? Where can you find Q purchaser for it, at anything like it's cost? Where can you find one at any price? Will your in comes pay Insurance and taxes, II thlS miserable war continues until next May?
 Men of moderate means. Where IS your in- come today? What storekeeper in Concord has made enough for the past fortnight to pay his business expenses, to say nothing ot those of his family? Have your profits paid the grocer, the baker, the butcher? If they have then the deserted streets of this city, for the past fourteen days have lied, and yet you have only begun to get peep at the beginning of the end. If this cursed, nigger war continues another twelve month grass will grow in Main street. Even the government taXgatherers will not be able to tread it down, for by that time, may be, you will have ceased toibe able topay their demands, and their occupation will be gone
 Yon ct thpn rpnudiatp UiIIinp unWIllInp. Mechanics You like to read about the war, perhaps in the unreliable sensation city press. You would have rejoiced over a different result at Bull Run-exulted at successful northern forward march to Richmond. But reflect a mo- ment seriously-rehect Would that have done more than gratify your sectional pride, or polit- ical animosity? Would 1t have tended to revive your crippled business? Would 1t have insured to you better wages for the coming fall and winter, fuel for your firesdes, food and raiment for your loved ones? Think seriously about this. Look at the taxes which this war IS daily pllmg upon your shoulders--count the fgures-mark the punderers who have plunged their arms to their pits ill the public treasury, while our sol ders starve and go almost naked-count the cost, if you know how to do sums in simple ad- dtion-and then answer, how long do you ex- pect to stand 1t? Will 1t pGyF
 Poor men-you who depend on your daily labor for your support, God help you We feel for you Where do we find our dollar Q day now, unless we enlist as otice's for this plum dering war? Where shall we find our shilling day if it continues six months longer, when the frosts and snows of another winter fall around us and our families?
 In this city, not a day has passed for the last week but what the family of the writer of this article has been called npon to give bread to furnishing children-on two occasions to honest appearing, grown men, out of work and without a cent. They would be glad to labor, but they cannot find chance in the present general stagnaton.
 Where are our charitable associations? Let them arouse themselves-nay, even now at mid summer when poverty never before asked aims in Concord. This crying shame-one of the results of this devils war--has got to be met. The money which has been contributed for tracts which they will never read-the liberal contri- buttons which have been made for under-cloth- ing, for havelocks, for lint, which cowhrdly runaway surgeons didn't stop to use at Center ville-all the contributions must soon be made over and over again, ten times and ten times ten times for the benefit ofour own suffering poor Again we say, God help them, for our city authorities don't do it. Already the aims houses are not large enough.
