No one ever doubted the above assertion,

will do it for you. You should have added
after months, with JEFF Davis, and all his

the Presidential chair, and exercising au-
thority over the nation, the same Is il he
had been duly and constitutionaly elected

upon which our X. G. C.'s. would end the

DO WE MISS THEM?-H we walk in
Broadway, New York, or Washington street,
in Boston, the crowd we meet passing up
and down is as large as it was year ago.
The stores and shops are all open, and every
thing wears the appearances Of business and
bustle Yet each of these cities has sent
thousands Of young men to war. 1t is the
same in village and town. The plow is
handled by sturdy hands, the anvil rings
under the arms of the dusky smith, the
spindle sings in the mill, and the tramp Of
men and women does not cease upon the
pavement. Yet every village aud town
throughout the loyal North has contributed
to swell the army of. the Government. The
places Of the absent are filled with others,
and we scarcely miss the thousands who have
gone with arms in their hands to save the
nation its proud name and its blood bought
freedom But there are those who miss the
absent soldiers.
