people have never yet been conquered on the
face Of the globe, and never will be- A few
par1isans are arguing the question what We
shall do with the rebels when the war is over.
It strikes me forcibly tha: It will be time
enough to discuss this question when they are
conquered. Neither is there any use in discuss
fpg the question Of slavery, aud what We
