Causes for discouragement,t there are in
abundance. Causes for despair, there is
not one. The resources Of the Republic
and the patriotism Of the people are anim-
paired. The determination to continue
the contest until the object for which our
armies fght-the restoration Of the terrific
rinl integrity Of the Union is as strong as
ever before, and the means Of making the
war effective and the victory sure, were
never more potent than to-day. We're all
this not true-Were the recent discomfi-
lures and disasters only the sure indications
of complete failure at last-this is no time
to talk Of peace. Shameful incompetency
aided by treaehery, in the feld, and divided
and warning councils in the cabinet, have
done their work, and the North, in the eyes
Of the rebels against whom We contend, i
disgraced. They would claim asuperio1ity
that diplomatic verbiage could not concea

that would BE- felt, if not written, in ever,

If we would have peace, the conditions Q
