was the faVorite war cry, Onward To Rich
nond' was the watch word, Old ScoTr Lao
told lincoln that he would take Richmond by
IL mere flank march and eXtingulsn the rebel
ion in single campaign, and LINCOLN was
fool enouah to take the gasconade Of the brag
ging old Failure Tor gospel lie has already
seen hat il was anything else than gospel
He has already met with IA resistance which
must convince him that il requires more money
and better men than he can command TO reduce
these rebels Of whom he speaks. and teachl
his understrappers to speak in such contempt
tous terms. He has found that even the pres-
ent war, languid as it Isl and destitute of ali
striking Incidents, can only be kept up by al
expenditure greater than THAI employed by
Great Britain TO overthrow the colossal power
Of the great NAPOLEON.
Instead OF being short and sweet, the pres
ent war promises to he OF indefinite duration
No man can see to the end of it, Il never has
happened that Il State, when once she begins
20 borrow for war purposes, can do with ii les :
sum, for three consecutive years, than SHE
borr owed for the first. With the Yankees
Ibis is especially the case. They have nothing
TO raise money upon. They cannot borrow
less any succeeding year than they borrowed
he first year, because they have nothing to
supply the deficiency il the estimates hui
loans. The probability is, that their loans Will
increase in size every year, a. their difficulties
become greater, and the necessity OF employ
ing more men increases. Less than 5000 900
400 year they cannot, obviously, do with
out. They require that sum, and how are they
10 get H. unless oE means Oh a loan In Eng
land they began the great French war with a
loan of three millions sterling They ended
it by loan of forty millions From all we
know Of the Yankee Government, we are not
induced 10 believe that they viii manage their
affairs better than the English did Old ACE
is not a greater tiancier than PHI and WE
take il that CASTLEREAGH as a war minister
was fully the equal of CAMERON.
