Of the campaign he recently made, with hiI
two royal nephews, by the side of Gen. McClel

ours the following striking passage which W,
translate for the ediHcation OF those who
thought the proclamation of the 22d Of Sept
would "help us abFoad:'
"lf the struggle between the two sections
now In arms should be prolonged, II the aolu
ton of their great conflict should be much
further postponed, then evils Of another charac Q
ter may spring from Il. Urged on BY the pas
sions and the necessities OF the struggle, ths
Federal Governments may proclaim the abolition
Of slavery, and may even be impelled to en-
ploy . terrible means Soi carrying on the wal
BY armlng the slaves az ainst their masters.--
But sueh measure, apart from its features oI
violence and barbarity, would be ci no prof
to those who should adopt it. II would LEAD
70 an irrepressible division In the bosoms o.
the Northern States, far more beneficial thar
Injurious to the secession cause.''

How awomnn Feels.


We are permitted to extract from letter writ
ten by lady in Boston, Mass. to friend in this
city:-Cgcve. Herald
Events tower so high above mere circumstan-
ees OF meeting and parting, that now -a-days |
know nothing of time, except by epochs. And
isn't living glorious?-yes, and dying too. l
wish Were a man. and had dozen lives for my
country. 1t is so hard to be woman and sit at
home when help is needed We can pray, IL is
true, but God knows what longing there is in
many true woman's heart--to do. | have felt
it now since the contest commenced, it has
seemed TO me that could not stay at home and
only higher duty has kept me back--that Of a
wife. For my husband, out oflOve to his moth
er, who has been an invalid, and at times insane,
did not enlist for the war; as he desired to do; so
waited Gods time, which it seems to me has
come at length. The day before yesterday my
husband told his parents of his intention to vol
unteer for nine months perhaps for the war;
His mother was at first overcome, for he is an
only son, but yesterday she was calmer, and
said she should try and be reconcled to the
parting. ] dare not think how it will be with
me when he has put his name to the rolls, but |
shall try to trust God and be willing. And dear
as Frank is to me, think my Heavenly Father
will show me Duty shining clearer than Love,
and Gods glory than my earthly happiness
For this war is not merely strife between men
the struggle of North with South, and South
with North for Union on one side and Slavery
on the other; it is Knowledge against Ignorance
Truth against Falsehood, Civilization against
Barbarism Freedom against Tyranny, God
against Satan. What is the reunion of America
