ations for war during the last few
days.
Washington is now well fortified,
and thoroughly prepared to meet
the enemy in the gate. Thousands
are still enlisting, and thousands
more are matching, and travelling
in all directions by sea and by land,
to give battle to the determined
men ofthe South. The South like
the South is also busy night and
day preparing to give a warm re-
ception to the soldiers ofthe North.
The political horizon grows darker
and darker, and the prospect of the
reconciliation of the North and
South without an appeal to the
sword is small indeed. We hear of
complaints from varions quarters,
that some of the Nor' Tern Troops
have not been .Aouglfully, and well
provided for, on their arrival at
camp.
A Fearful use has been made Of
firearms by the soldiers ofthe Uni
IedStates, in the streets fist. Louis,
within the last few days, and mu h
blame attaches o some parties in
authority.
We read that some men have
been sent by the Government at
Washington, to England to procure
munitions Of war.
The greatest secresy is kept by
the leading men in the Government,
and also by the Montgomery men.
The ports of the South will soon
be b'ockaIel by a feet from the
North, and the men Of h. South
siil be compelled to fight or sub
ai; but as they are no. inclined or
at all Likely 70 submit, we may ful-
expect to heafyery soon that the.
most unnatural and desperate war
wagcd in moltra times has begun
in America, "The end is not vet"

The Prospect Before Us.

In an article urging farmers moi
to relax, but rather to increase their
agricultural industry, or allow any
excitement to interfere with thein
dispensable necessity of raising food
for the people, the Philadelphia
Bulletin, a warn subjugation ofthe
South paper, says:
eve have no ideathat hundred
thousand men can fight out this
battle. We had BETTER make up.
our minds to raise, first and last.
about a Million"
According to the Bulletin, the
war is not going to he brought to a
close in a month or u year, but will
require years and a million of men
to settle it. Such is the prospect
before us, if that is correct. Oar
young men are to be taken from
inc farms, the workshops, the
schools, the contingencies; the
pursuit of peaceful industry must be
divided with the duties ofthe camp;
manufactures must be closed; trade
must stagnate; business must be
paralyzed; privation and want must
make the widow and the orphan
weary of life; and heavy taxation be
restored to; and all that for years;
and for @ha? To accomplish what
might have been done months ago,
had the proper spirit actuated those
in both sections who were in a pos
ition to make their voices heard and
respected. Neither party, however.
North or South, would permit the
people to be heard. Then the diff
Guilty was not irremediable; now
every gun that is fired, and every
i u,.op Of blood that is spilled, widens
the Gulf and makes it more and
moreim?as"ible, because the hatred
that is sprtnging up between the
sections will be made thefenNlm-
placable, bitter and unfelent'ng'
And after tens of thousands q
livesshall have been sacrificed; aISs@r
years of want, privation and suffer
ing shall have been endured; when
universal bankruptcy shall have
swept over the land; when IA pub
lie debt shall have been incurred
that o currency can not wipe out.
and whioh will ,ntaiI grinding tax
alton upon our children's children,
what will have been accomplished
for our own good, the cause Of civ
ilization, or self-government, or for
the black race? 1T is well enough
to ask these questions9 AS Mr..
LINCOLN said at Indianapolis =

may be of infinite service to them
