THE EFFECT OF THE WAR.--The effect
Of the war ON the relations Of men both
South AMI North to the old Union, is thus
forcibly sketchrd in late editorial Of the
Freendn's Journal
North and South are, day by day,
becoming more and more chrys;ali>ed -
The war, as it goes on, tends constantly
to harden the one section, as a mass,
against the other Southern men, m60
long for the old UniOn-the Union as it
was-are growing desperate, and, like
drowning men VINO know no rescue can
reach them, are ceaSing to struggle with
their own convictions Northern men
who have rursed the hope of a final reStO.
ration, without suhjugatiOn. are losing
hope, and give signs of woe that all is
lost That is, at the South, in the slave
holding States, there is ceasing to exist
even a lingering wish with any apprecia-
BILE portion Of those communities, for a
restoration of any union with the North,
while at the North there is a growing
sentiment-not active, not organized, nor
seeking organization. against the military
regime that prevails, but which, in all
candOr we must say, it behooveS the per-
manent and vested interests Of the North
ern States, should be permitted a frank,
loyal. honest, and unfettered expression
that does not now exist"

eminently true and to the point? 1--WE
have too many talking patriots in these
days, and too few acting ones. Patriots
mount the roStrum at meetings, and talk
eloquently over resolves that say we will
DO this or that for the country, even at
the risk of martyrdom, yet these same
orators never do thing more than they
are compelled to. But few Of these loud
talking men, who are SO profuSe in exhor-
tationS to others to enlist, are willing to
enter upon the privatiOns and perils of
the war, or to put their precious bodies
within the reach of danger. 1t is about
time that some of these men say come,

ExouGH TALKING-At a war meeting
in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Rev. Mr..
Lyon said that if talking amounted to
anything We had had enough Of it to put
down ten thousand rebellions. This talk
ing reminded him of person who had
arrived at Church just as the afternoon
service closed, and on inquiring if it was
all done, was answered L" 1t is all said,
and remains to be done" He had always
noticed those who said and boosted the
most did the least. At the present time
Government needs fighters, not takers.

WHEN, in 1875, the great Revolution
vas rapidly developing, under the arbi-
tFary usurpations of British Kingly Pre-
rogative,. John Adams wrote words which
1t we're we'll to remember now:
go Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in
the bHd,' is the only maxim which can
ever preserve the liberties Of any people.
When the people give way, their deceiv-
ers, betrayers. and destrOyers press upon
them so fast that there is no resisting az
forwards. The nature of the encroach-
ment is to grow every day more encroach-
ing; like cancer it eats faster and faster
every hour"

the people been warned, by the ablest

great victory had been won to the Union cause,

reduced in flesh, being not much better than
shadow Of his former self He has beca

Teeks, and although in good spirits and good

eoEery, it will be long time before he can

I have just taken brisk horse-back ride to
