THE BLIGHT OF As1LIrIoNIsa.
The New York correspondent Of :he New
Orleans Picayune, in letter dated August

lished by the Abolition press. which found Il

Believing thus, they determined et once
that the South should te thrasheo, and the
men ana money were quickly forthcoming

thunders of Bull Bun ans wer /! They found
no divided sentiment there ~ They Hailed

their treasure TO the WORK, now shrl ak back

the blunder that has stoned on thit tat>I march
may yet result IN good, inasmuch BE 1t has
materially weakened the war resources of the
AboiItionists, aud thus rendered more brigh
the prospects OF peace.
