The Northerners are entitled to more
sympathy than they have received from the
most influential part Of the English Press.
They are fighting for an object Of real i'm
portance. If they were to fight at all now
is their time, and they have received for
many years past series of provocations of
the most exasperating kind. To advise brave
and high spirited men TO permit, or not 10
resist, the forcible, wrongful destruction of
institutions TO which they rightly attach the
highest value, on the ground that it is ex-
tremely difficult to maintain them, is whatmen
who recognize the claims of courage & spirit
ought to be 10th to do. That the North has
right on its side, there can be no doubt. That
it has sustained grieyous wrongs and insults,
is equally plain. Surely it is question
rather for him than for Us, whether there
is reasonable prospect of redressing those
wrongs by force Of arms. A nation, like an
individual, may easily overrate difficulties
1t is by no means clear that the tone of the
South will be so naughty as it is at present,
or that their determination TO resist, will be
unanimous after they have felt the weight
Of the Northern army There is no doubt on
each side asuperabundance Of the very fiercest
kind Of talk, and of protestations Of unhinch.

that it would survive the horrors Of battles
and sieges, and the awful prospect of servile
insurrectiOn. At any rate, no one can know
whether it will or not till they try. Ireland
would have been Independent long ago, If
we had taken the advice of disinterested
foreigners about it. In 1857, many writers
on the Continent and in the United States,
supposed that they had proved in the most
convincing manner, that we never could re-
conquer India. Nothing that is worth keep
ing in this world can be kept without an
effort; and it is premature to say, that fight
ing is of no use till it has been fairly tried
We have fair right to dwell on all the diff
culties and horrors of the task; but in COM
mon justice it must be admitted, that the
North are fighting in good cause, and for
Il high stake.

Prayer for the Army.

Bishop Odenhcimer, of New Jersey, has
directed the Episcopal clergy of that State,
to recite the following prayer for our ar1Ly on
the fast day appointed by the President:
Oh, Almighty God, the Sovereign Com
lnander of all the world, to whom belongeth
power that none could withstand. We COM
mend to Thy gracious protection the persons
of Thy servants, for whom our prayers are
especially desired. and who are enlisted il
the army of the United States, and the whole
army in which they serve. Let Thy fatherly
hand we beseech Thee, be over them. Let
Thy Holy Spirit ever be with them, and
shield them by Thy merciful Providence in
;hc discharge Of their duty, that passing
through all temptations and perils, they may
return to their homes to enjoy the fruit Of
their tolls, in the restoration of peace and
establishment of order and tranquility
amongst US. Protect and bless, 0 Lord,
all the members of their households; assuage
their fears, encourage their hearts and com
fort them with Thy grace and heavenly
benediction under any Affections Thou shalt
see fit to lay upon them. Aud grant that
those thy servants, and all of us, being only
impressed with a sense of Thy goodness
towards us in the past, may have cause to
bless Thy name for the continuance Of Thy
mercies to us, and may ever express our
thankfulness by holy trust in Thee and
obedience to law, though Jesus Christ oui
Lord. Amen.

Sunshine.

The effect of the Manassas disaster has
passed away The clouds Of gloom have
dispelled, and all is sunshine. The fancied
dangers, which were supposed to overshadow
the capital, and destroyed the peace of many
of its excellent citizens, have given place to
feeling of perfect security. We do not
think the city of Washington was ever in
a stronger position than it occupies to-day;
nor do we think the Government was ever
more powerful. The people are enthusiastie,
the rulers are honest and faithful, the soldl-
ers eager for the fray. Let tus make the pre- :
diction, that, before the sober October days,
the flank of the secession movement will be
turned, and that the conspiracy of Mr.. Davis
will be in a. full retreat as that which con-
cluded the battle of Manassas. Public SEN
timent has indeed undergone great and
gratifying change. As the hours were dark
lately, so they are bright now; aud even as
we were depressed, so are we elated. Let
the word of encouragement pass from mouth
to mouth, and let the Union cry .be-"Con-
fdence and Victory" Washington Sun

From Louisiana.

\ letter from wealthy and influential
citizen of Louisiana, to friend at the North,
says that almost all the old Wings OF Louis
lana are now Union men, not only anxious
for the suppression Of the rebellion, but
ready when the time arrives, to cooperate
with the Federal forces to that end by arm
ed resistance. These loyal men are ma
jority in the State, and are in daily commu-
nication with each other upon this subject.
Their ardent desire is that the Government
shall send an army to relieve them from the
odious tyranny of Secession under which
they are now living. Texas is also, they
they say, in a similar condition, and our 10y
al brothers in the Southwest are anxiously
expecting succor from the North. Among
the leading Union men the idea is universal
that if our Government would only take one
important Southern port upon the Atlantic,
and force the free navigation of the Missis-
sippi by the occupation OF New Orleans, then
the rebellion would be substantially quelled
they desire only the presence OF Fremont
with small army to rally the Union mer
of Louisiana around him. These things art
constantly canvassed by our Union friends
among themselves. Unaided they are pow
erless, but they call to us for support.

The Foul swindle fthe Peace Party.


Peace, without Union, on some fixed
terms, is only temporary respite, if it were
not Utopian idea now, We notice that the
sympathizers. They think il the short cut
to the Southern Confederacy. If they are
sincerely for peace, how do they think so
much Of those who brought on the war, and
who now have as their ultimatum division
of the Union, and who will not listen to any
terms, short ofseparation? They know that
peace Is impossible on any terms, except an
acknowledgment of the Southern Confed-
eracy, and that isjust what they mean when
they ask for peace-a dissolution of the
Union. It is nothing but Secession dodge
to catch votes, and increase their strength
in Kentucky. If they are for National
Convention, Kentucky has done all she could
for it, and is for it now. Let them get JEFF.
Davis, Beauregard & Co., to agree to it, and
they will do the countrya service until they
can do that, let them not humbug the State
by the cry of peace peace to be followed
by dissolution of the Union and centuries
of war. If any are for peace, short of
division Of the Union, let them show the
way. We are all for it ; but Of what value
is a respite to be followed by war, and with
custom houses, and tariffs, and Notifications
frowning defiance at each other, all along
the line, in time Of peace standing armies
on each side, augmented constantly, to be
ready to meet a rival threatening one on the
other side; military dictators, to which ne
cessity compels submission. All this is what
the cry of peace means. Posterity will curse
such peace and its authors. Bad as our
condition is, we shall not escape it tempor-
arily to impose worse one on those who are
to come after Us.

The Object of the War

The Hon. Caleb B. Smith, Secretary of
the Interior, visited New York last week,
and during his visit made brief speech to
the gentlemen of fthe Chamber of Commerce
He said of the people of the South and
of the war
''They have been deceived. They have
been deluded. They have been taught to
believe, by demagogues who have misrepre-
sented the Government, that those who ad-
minister the Government are hostile to the
peculiar rights of those States. The Ad-
min,stration has no other object IN vie,o than
to restore the Union, enforce the ld,os IN every
State IN the Union, and secure Justice and
equal rights to all.
