We do no often present 20 our friends tho
good words aud friendly sOmmOndalions
which often como 10 US in or correspond
encO and business letters; prefering that the
JOURNAL itself should win the praise due 70
il, rather than that vO alone should he its
laudators. A friend in the eastern part Of
the county writes:-
FRiESD Krktth ~ Have long desired TO con
graduate you on the tone Of the Journal, and
more especially for the last few months; and for
its welcome acceptance among its frnest friends.
While spending social hour not long since
with my better half at heighburs' who keeps
well posted, and whose wife, by the by, knows
great deal more than some members Of Cong
ress and who arein receipt Of no less than six
weeklies and dnlies, and do not know how
many monthlies, this neighbot then and there
remarked; "The f'cs'ont gbufhal was the best
paper he took" and the aforesaid wife gave her
assent. We are glad TO see the day that to be
branded by the low and scurrilous, as being
"Black Republcsns," or "Abolhionists," docs
not deter editors from speaking the truth, and
that freely. laUE .U EW .Tg
| We thank our friends for such words Of
good cheer, and hope TO merit their contin-
ued appreciation. The writer says:
blight is fast breaking through the. mist and
darkness that has 50 long enveloped and be-
clouded the great masses Of our country. Not
one of all the 100000 who have gone TO the war,
unless he be secesh at heart, but what does fully
understand the cause that has and is TO make go
many homes desolate, and drive so many child
ren out from comfortable firesides into cold
and heartless world, where no kind father will
interpose TO keep them from drifting down the
tide of dissipation and vice to untimely and ig-
noninious graves. Many young and confd-
ing wife has received the parting kissa benz
cdiction from doting husband "God preserve
and protect you, Mary, aud the children when ]
am far away and grant me a safe return when
war and battles are over" whose vigils will
never greet his returning footsteps.
Many noble son has gone forth from kind
sisters and affeetionsts parents, whose last look
into that tender mothers face Witnessed the fast
falling, tear which bespoke solicitude which
none but mother knows, aud an anguish that
could only be nppeased by his return And
when bidding adcu to that kind father, the
trembling hand and choked uttcrance of "God
keepand protect you my SOM" will never re-
turn to gladden. those hearts again.
War is terrible thingi and our chastisemen
an awfully severe one, May we accept it from
the Disposer of Events in right spirit, anc
when this war shall cause no more homes to b
made desolate, may there DE NO cAusE LEFT for
