NEW VOLUME.

On the seventh of September, 1861, the New
York WEEKLY TRIBUNE commenced the
twenty-6rst year of its existence the DAILY
TRIBUNE being some months older and the
SEMI-WEEKLYT TRIBUNE Esomewhatyounger.
For more than twenty years, this journal has
iabored in what its conductors have felt to be

As to the Civil War now devastating our
country we hold it to have originated in a
Rebellion more wanton, wicked, ineXcusabie,

the interest of the few against the many-a
Rebellion designed to raise higher the walls

suffering with which the Federal Government
sought to avert its horrors, we hold it our
