"GOOD NEWS-HURRAH FOR WAR"
The Republican journals are really iubilapt at
the prospect of civil From the very first they
have advocated the employment OF force to nunisb
and subdue those States which their own azores
sive acts have driven to revolution, and now thew
hail with undisguised joy those extensive military
and naval preparations which to inaugurate an
era of fratricdal strife and bloodshed They re-
gard with satisfaction the embarkation of hired
troops, which are sworn to spread desolation
among peaceful homes, and the departure of war

whose protection they were constructed. eve are

said to have ten divinity students in its ranks and
