better and more permanent position was offered
to him in the mission TO Consannope, argues but lit
tie for hs patriotism Self rsi the country afteTward,
seems to be the word now. In tie midst Of multitude
of embarrassing issues this ill.timed and unusiale
resignation occurs, opening up the old political soes
which the common danger had nearly healed, and
bringing to the surface the names Of score OF
political hacks whose persistent scramble for one Office
after another has made them offensive even in ordinary
times while ust they are political stencil There

the old city District stands erect than ever.
II will never do 10 keep calling this the Quaker City.
II has now fairly ceased to be such. am bewder.d
by the change which has over ne snce men were
wanted for the army. Young members OF Quaker
Meeting have put uniform, and arr now in Virginia,
while others are diligently drilling TO be ready for the
next call. They love their country better than their
right Of membership, which they lose by taking up
arms The Society Is scive in seeking 10 maintain it,
testimony aginst war, by pleading with its membeIso
refrain from volunteering but in vain they will arm
aud march, Per contra, the Quaker are alive TO the
momen,ous issue at stake, and though they cannot con-
scientiousy contribute in any way TO fit ont soldier,
vet they have scrupes against paying bis rent and
supporting his family during his absence. Some Of lie
cannot understand the distinction, while Others will
say that if all Of had Quaker consciences the thing
would be well enough. However, there are many
members of that body III this city and ese~here, who
have generously opened their full pursts 10 aid the
families of absent volunteers and who III continue ~
do 50 until they return. Many Of their female mem
bers have worked with zeal making up clothing Tor
them refusing desist when reconstructed with 10y the
Edcrs. Thus ia their several departments the Quskers
have shown themselves alive TO al that ia going on
around them. hs 10 military matters generally there
is not the esst abatement among kegmonts leave
continually but new are formed 10 take their
places. Drilling soems to be going on III hiss paces at
the same time. In fact there 10 limit TO the number
OF troops that can be had here IL has exceeded the
expectation Of every body. Should more men be called
for by the President this city will boil over with new
excitement to supply more than her quota. AS 10 be-
ing any longer Quaker city, the title should be
dropped.
There are hopeful souls among who think that day
begins TO dawn that light is already vi.iiae, that
are almost out Of the woods in Short that things baye
about touched bottom They count the chances Of
cuperation ~ manifold. do not think this city be
suffering W. much some others are reported to be-
People idle to be sure, but no one hears of any Of
them starving. The frmness Of all dividend d-paying

while those who are, met by ready buyers. Some
body mrst have confidence as well "a money. Then
the taking of that 81 900 900 State loan al par may be
set down IA one Of the remarkable events Of the day.
This was exclusively War loan, TO pay and equip
troops for the Government. 1t ehowed the firm CONT

and their determination 10 pour out money 10 give the
Government sIl it calls for relying its energy TO 10

a single bid below par. 1t Was also sort OF patriotic
loan there being numerous little capitalists who took
stock in SUMS az low Ms SO and $l00 This is confirm
atory Of your own suggestion Of grand Patriotic Ma
tional Loan Of 500 0O0 0G0 il wanted TO 6Dish this
war up snug Let Congress carry out your idea, and
the masees will assuTedy respond. The very day this
six per cent loan taken at par, you could have
bought State Elves at n, bot patriotism went ahead of
profit The indications art not against the hopeful
ones but in their favor. il is evidence that the Rebels
are backing down to extent that strips the future Of
all doubt. Remember, Fix months served to plunge
the country into its present depondeucy Let the pros
pect once change decidedly and six mouths Of clear
daylight will make another nation Of Us.
There is but one voice here about the pirates taken in
the Savannah and that that il they not hanged the
authorities have no pluck, and hanging may well be
abolished. TIE captain, Baker, is well known Phls
