OVER SEVENTY THOUSAND TROOPS CONTRIBUTED.
From the Harrisburg Telegraph July 81

the Union OF the American States has been of character
that left her population little time the wild
steculatons of the times pay any attention To Ose
chimeras OF business which nfnse the rnde and
natural and artificial have been sufficiently prolific TO
employ tho energies Of her citizens and produce a trade
that has ramied into other States and created for them
interests which have for contributed to industry
for which our own people have derived any direct
benefit This peculiar engy of character does not only
show itself in business or the laboring and Industrial
pursuits of the people They display the charac-
teristc in all they propose or undertake to accomplish

are often willing to forego the credit which is due
them and permit others to themselves with lanres
which they in their Quaker German indifference ~ dis
tncton honestly deem Of Importance when impaired
to the satisfaction and pleasure In the conviction and
knowledge Of having done their duty Their God ter
country and their fellow man.
