for those who will endeavor to perpetuate dis
sensions and divisions among the people Of this
country for their own aggrandizement. Oh,
let not this be so. know very little Of what
is going on, for since my return ! have Lad
scarcely time to look at the papeIs, but by all
accounts much has been gone, and yet not
very much realized toward terminating slip
unnatural war. Volunteers have been applied
