of the rebels for their wickedness 1t is need

Within the last sixty years, there have been
started in Washington no less than one hundred

or four have died in the shadow of the National
Intelligencer.
And it might be added, very truthfuily, that
the world would suffer no very serious loss if the
Intelligencer should also die It is very re-

enough vitality left to prove its existence, and
that is all. We don't wish it to die yet awhile,

1t was time long since that be we're removed

It seems incredible that man whose career has

permitted to waste our treasure and the lives Of

been . costly one. We trust We shall have no

results, or give way to those who can. That's
our doctrine. We cant afford to approach
