FORTS AND FoRTREssEs.

There is but one fortress i'll the
United Substitutes Monroe
All the other fortified places desen-
dug our harbOrs are called forts.
The distinction between these two
terms is very wide. All fortresses
are forts, or fortified places; but all
forts are not lortresses. All colleges
are schools, but all schools are not
colleges. The relation OF forts to
fortresses is that of minor to majo-.
a fort may be simply an advanced
work 10 protect the extended lioes or
walls Of fortress. Generally, for
-tressas are extensive iacjn'es Tor the

the protection Of cities. In the u
nited States, no extensive fortified
places, with large garrisonS. have
beel constructed for the defense Of
cities. Fvrlifcations in this country
have had reference, 9Sclpally, to
h1rbor defense. Fortress Monroe.
With its c,pacity for garrison.
was constructed for the defense of
the important Navy Yard of Cos

The whole War is q war Of white
labor against black labor The r.
publicaBs care nothing for the black
man; they say themselves they'd o
not, but they want 10 have white
men Gil the places noY filed By our
blacks, and leave the blacks the free
dom to s,arye and die. They wanl
to put their poor white men as ser
wants in the hotels, in the houses, IN
the factories, in the felds; they want
coaehmeD. draymep, laborers, to be
white instead of black. They want
TO drive out the black women servants
| from our kitchens aud our houses,
and to put white women 10 their pla-
ces. And in order TO accomplish
this object, they pretend to be great
| friends Of the negroes, when, intact
they are the worst enemies OF thai
