The 0ovssnu sut Of The United States
has passsd into new hands the silver
cord il broken the golden bowl 10
dashed ID suAder. There is no longer
any question about ths udismsnbss~sat
of the Union. The causes which have
been operating TO produce this effect
are all known, al understood BY the
people. The cause NO longer enters IL
to the discussion. The efsct-the re-
sult 10 what the American people have
TO deal with from this day onward.
Abraham Lincoln Is inaugursted bis
inaugural address 10 before the people.
Il hes been read ere this hour, 10 the
North, the East, in the West and IN the
Southern States. For weeks the nation
has been awaiting in silent expectation.
In the South, whole armies have been
resting on their srms-waiting-anx-
iousIy waiting for this hour. Through
the length and breadth Of the oatioo,
Thousands Of firm patriots have been
pleading that the cup Of disunion might
pass their lips. II has availed nothing
The die 10 cast, and the "next gale
which sweeps from the South will bring
TO our ears the clash Of resounding
arms. We look upon this, IS . fixed
fact. We consider the Union - per
fectly dissolved to-day IS though It had
been done by convention Of the States,
backed up by every voice 10 the nation.
Thu 10 our belief aud we must 90 state
il.
Though this is 90 though the die is
irrevocably cast, it BY no means closes
the matter. Within short time the
war campaign will be opened. The first
battle viii be fought At Charleston, and
no matter which side is victorious, the
decision there given will be far from
final. II will be but the beginning OF a
long and bloody struggle, unless COM
promise steps in and stays it. We are
not counting upon cowardice in the
North, neither need it be looked for in
the South. Braver men and more de.
termined soldiery cannot be found on
earth than in either section of this coun-
try, and when fighting shoulder to
shoulder would defend their country
against the scrried legions of any pow
or on earth what may we not fear
when they become divided and turn one
against the other. Being neither bIag
CARTS nor towards we may witness such
stern realities as mankind have not late

things are very dlsagreeable, but W.
may a. v. II look at them as TO be dodg

doubtcdly be strong effort made te
capture Sumter by the South Carolrns
will meet with a warm reception. The
era of civil war in the United States
has already commenced. We can only
wait for the result.
