The war.
For more than eighty years thu Union
has slept in peace. Nations have risen,
strength has been added yearly to the unit
ed chords Of our common country, and our
people with few exceptions, have been loyal
to the land that has sustained them-to the
laws that have protected them. While 9TH
er nations have been bathed in blood, the
United States still held her undeniable sway
in the ranks Of peace and freedom.
The apple of discorl hung high upon the
tree of good and evil, and swung heavily
upon its tenacious stem but now indeed
has it dropped from the tree the ball has
been set in motion and wo unto those who
plucked the fruit, for they ''shall surely die. :"
Already has the work Of devastation, desc
lation and death commenced. War! o
who can think upon its woes without a
shudder? Yet what man is there so lost
as to crouch in the thicket when the tiger
approaches and sign for it to pass him by,
and spring upon his children? Can any
American, a loyer of his country, be lying
on his oars in such a tide as this Who
will stand idly back in inglorious case with
folded arms until he finds his foothold tot
tering, sinking and falling into the hands Of
a dislOyal sovereign? Even now this lim-
tied peace is shaken to its very center. Be-
cause VIC cannot see the smoke shall we say
there is no fire? Because they do not marcel,
into our towns and piilage shall we sleep
and let our brothers diey
Washington q where is our Washing
ton? Who will defend his resting place
as he hath defended us :! The bold waters
of the Potomac are rolling on in silence OF
forebcding evil upon the shore Of that ill.,
thank heaven! "Their spears are thou.
sand, their bosoms are one"
God protect those noble men! And still
they 60. They rush from every port. No
home SO dear as to bind them now. Their
tenderest tic is being sullied, and only their
untiring arm can make it sure What fear
they? Blood will not make the patriot
faint. Every mans heart must be so stirred
with emotion that he will forget that blood
and gruans and pains must be the inevitable
results Of the battle. He cannot see or
hear. He presses on with weapon keenly
fixed and rushes into the arms Of death as
though it were his wonted pleasure. Hon.
or and Liberty are all he sees and Victory
the joy he feels. But may the brave, strong
hearts be also tender. May uprightncss
and justice mark their footsteps and may
they push back tkcir wayward, estranged.
yet generous southern brethren with gen.
tie hand, and with no wounds deeper than
those Of pride. JENNIE GROVE.

press any opinion upon that subject, neither
does it NJ amended. I have already init
mated that | concur with him in opinion as
to the policy Of the withdrawal; but
nothing Is contained in the resolution upon
that subject. 1t Is not IN the original reSo-
luton, ii is not III tho resolution now. The
declaration in respect 10 the position y! the
Federal Government i'll connection with
these forts, pending our efforts TO procure
an adjustment OF these questions as con-
tanned in the original resolution is: "Nor
to reinforce the forts now in possession Of
the military forces Of the United States"
That is one Of the conditions. 1t says
nothing about the withdrawal Of the troops
already there. 1t makes il one Of tho con-
ditions while we are Whiting, not 10 relu-
force the forts. That is all. Well, s:r, the
only difference between thu; condition and
the condition OF the resolution as y has
been modified: is that the forts referred TO
ara restricted 10 those upon the mainland
and those in the harbors Of the seeded
States. 1t is equally silent with the origl-
nal resolution as to the withdrawal. The
original resolution expressed no such opin-
ion, nor does it now.
Then, sir, as to the effect OF the amend
mcnt which has been adopted upon the
forts located upon the islands and reefs out
Mt sea. Sir, that amendment does not give
license to reinforce those forts at all. Ii
gives no such authority. II expresses no
opinion at all as 10 what ought to be done
or what ought not 10 be done, as to
reinforcement, except that we make il
G condition that those upon the mainland
and in the harbors Of the seeded States are
not to be reinforced during this effort for
adjustment. We say nothing about the re-
Enforcement Of the forts on Tortugas or

to express an opinion a. to what should
