The information comes through rebel
sources. The rebel loss is believed to be
much greater than is reported.
Patriots Bear the Burden for Traitors.
The Shareholders have levied powerful
armies and marched them to the field to
overthrow our Government The Adj
mlnistratlon has called upon the country
TO rally In defence ut our flag and our free
institutions, imperilled BY this mighty re-
volt. The people have rallied to their
country's ca II, and left their farms, their
workshops, and their families, to save the
Republican institutions formed by our
fathers. They freely sacrifice their bust
ness, their comfort and their lives i'm the
cause. They leave their farms untenant-
ei their workshops idle, their business
suspended and unproductiye to 20 forth
and meet the enemy. They know, too,
that the enormous expenses of the war
will heap up great National debt, which
will nave to be met BY heavy taxation on
the products of their energies for years to
come. They, or at least the Western
people, sustain the policy of the Govern
ment in excluding them from Southern
markets for their products, in order there
by to withhold provisions from the enc
my.
In view Of all their losses and self-sac-
rtcln- efforts in the cause of their conn
try, the loyal people Of the North have a
night TO expect that the war shall lie car
fled on against the enemy in a vigorous
manner and In such mode as shall make
traitors feel is evils. The leyul people of
the country regard traitors in arms n the
worst enemies, and they desire TO see the
ordinary policy Of war adopted against
them, They believe in tie policy OF
" hurting somebody and they desire to
see the property Of traitors confscated
for the benefit of the Government. Know
Ing that their own business is DESTROYED
and the market closed against them in
order 70 lnlnre the enemy, they do no,
approve the policy of protecting the
slaves ot the traitors In the peaceable
prosecution Of their usual avocations, IL
raise and furnish supplies for the rebe
armies in camp, They know that SLAYER,
was the cause Of the rebellion, and the,
know that slave labor now upholds All,
maintains the armies of the rebels in III,
field Without the products of slave Ia
Dor the rebel armies wonld starye in nine
ty days. And yet We are commended tt
policy which will chain those slaves O,
the plantations Of their traitor master
to raite provisions for the rebel armies
while loyal men arc strictly excluded fror
such market although their provision
are rottlng on their hnnds because ther

Such policy docs not strike u as
war policy AT ALL 1t seems on the con
ttary like a kind Of political itch to com

: good time coming when present diff
cnltles shall be compromised, and anotle
campaign be opened for the Presidenc
OF the United States But we fear tina
under such rolicy . the good time i
view of which, and for the sake of which
j is adopted. will never come. The hi,
tory Of the world thus far exhibits n
instance in which great Rebellion hi
been crushed BY the manifestation Of
tencer and supreme regard for the ten
poral Interests Of the rebels.
