tltude,on this question assumed by the Id
ropean powers which seems 70 u 20 call Tor
the siernest censure. We are standing with
folded arms, and placid expression on our
faces, while America In being made desert,
aud A Americans, most yalianlly, are hacking
one another ~ pieces. Will ID advantage
US at all that the spirit Of the country should
be broken, n whole generation ofyonng men
slain or manned In the cruelest OF unjust
wars, and tho benefits that the world inight
receive from this thriving and once happy
continent postponed for century, Let "
do Something as We are christian men. II
does not matter what they call IL. Term u
arbitration, intervention, diplomatic action,
recognition Of the South, remonstrance with
the North, friendly interference, or toreible
pressure OF some sort-wha'eyer form q
shape our action may assume, let US do some
thing to stop this carnage. For eaeh year
OF this war, nj least 100000 men are slain
in battle.

That the blockade has not really injured
the South further than hy inhiciing severe
temporary privations, is due 10 the fact that
the South isun agricultural aud seli-suppor-
thug people, which, producing at home all
that it absolutely requires, cannet be siarV-

large class 10 be ruined by isolation from
