confidence in the SUCCESS of the Union cause
is everywhere strengthening. There seems
to exist throughout the loyal states, u stern

the condition of affairs is sinking deep into
the heart of the nation, which is girling

powerful influences Of the age have for
months been actively and effectively at work,
educating the people up to the standard OF
appreciation and herosm requisite for the
emergency, and which make ultimate tr.
umph certain. The confidence of the pco-
pie is being daily strengthened in the ma

military leaders in the field, and there is the

by Mcclellan, as well as the commanding
measures of Fremont, all justly inspire in
the people that faith in the management of
