is unpardonable.
In these trying times it behoyes the piesi-

thereby enable the nation to assist the exc

DEcIMATIoN.-It is painful TO reflect
upon the present condition Of the various
regiments that have left our State for the
defense of the government. Sickness and
death have thinned their ranks to n
mournful extent. Thousands of hearts
to day are OVERLOOKING with grief at the
desolation that is brooding over the fam
ily hearthstones for our loved ones fallen
in the service of their country. Our sym
pathies are with the afflicted. We mourn
with the mourning. Thick on every bat
tie field are the long narrow mounds that
mark the last resting place of Michigan's
brave sons. Where now are the thou
sands that but few months since left us
full Of the vigor of manhood, and buoy
ant with manly hope that the contest
would soon be ended, and they again per-
mitted to embrace the loved ones ut
home! Gone! Died for home, friends
and country. Let us look at the thin
ned ranks of our infantry. The valiant
Third only musters from 200 to 250.-
The Fourth mourns the loss of the flower
of its ranks. The Fifth has dwindled to
100 or l25 effective men. The bones of
the Seventh and Eighth are thickly strew-
ed on many of the most holly contested
battle-felds. And all for what? For
the principle Of self government and
constitutional liberty. And will all this
sacrifice of our own citizens and those of
our sister States avail nothing? The
blood of the thousands and tens of thou.
sands of patriots appeals to heaven for
our ultimate success, and we believe the
appeal will not be in vain. Our country
shall yet be restored.

the gallant chiyalry of the South, gather
ed around the Same fires singing the
songs Of the Union, A union of States,
union Of hearts and union Of hands
forever" Who can contemplate the pic
ture that to-day presses itself painfully
upon the vision of the sons Of Massachu-
sets and of Virginia, arrayed against each
other, in deadly conflict, without turning
back TO that other scene of Adams and
Jefferson, pledging their sacred lives in
support of Union that their sons and
posterity might enjoy for all time. What
heart can contemplate these scenes with
out exclaiming with heartfelt emotions,
when will this mad war cease when VIII
the olive branch of peace return to again
bless our country with its quiet and beau
tiful shades when, oh when will be
the question that will come from mill
ion Of anxious and lhrobbing hearts to-
day when, oh when is the prayer that
comes from many lone mothers heart +!
when, oh when is the exclamation that
comes from friends, fathers, mothers, sis
ters, brothers and relatives, where the
family circle has been broken by the cry,
"To armsp that has echoed throughout
our land and midst when, oh when, l
see the earnest gaze Of many an up-turn-
ed face TO day, when will this war cease !!
When. l will answer, if l understand
rightly the views of this government and
the determination of this people, when
the old Union shall again be restored
when the flag of our country shall again
float from the dome Of our national capt.
tai, not stripe crossed nor star pollut-
cd, encircling within its protection every
State, every lake, every river, every city,
every town and every foot of soil within
the bounds of the old Union. And, in
my opinion, that time is rapidly approach
ing | believe that the black cloud that
has lowered over this distracted country
so long, without hardly ray of light to
cheer The vision, is fast being dispelled.
Victory after victory has perched npon
tho banners of the army of the sUnion.--
Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky arc to-
day loyal and redeemed. And Tennessee
is fast returning TO that flag and that al
lcgiance that she has so proudly honored
and reflected in the past.
The strong holds of (I will not say our
enemies our deluded brothers have fall
en- from their possession. Their navies,
forts, navy yards and large cities, one by
one, have fallen from their grasp-step by
step has the Union army pressed on, and
State by Stale, city by city is following in
the course of Tennessee.
When the decisions Of the southern
people shall have been dispelled, by the
army of the constitution, then will be the
day that this war will cease. Then, l
trust, will all people, both North and
South, remember that in the constitution
is their hopc-that when they learn to
obey and respect all its claims and obliga-
tons then will be timo that civil war
will never moro return TO our beloved land.

Our village school closes on Friday
next. The patrons and citizens generally
are invited to be present at the closing
exercises. The school during the year
just closing has been cminently success
ful under the management of Mr.. CUsn-
MAN and his corps of ablo assistants, not
withstanding some feeling has existed on
the part of portion of its patrons, rela-
tive to certain stringent regulations adopt
cd by the Board of Trustees TO insure the
more prompt and regular attendance of
the pupils. Those regulations, however,
are found to have greatly promoted the
efficiency Of the school, and the rapid pro-
gress of the pupils under the structures
laid upon them must be pleasing to all
parties concerned. We have not learned
what provisions, if any, have been made
for tho future conduct of the school.
The union school at Lamont, Miss M.
CARPENTER, pcrceptrcss, also closes on
the same day. Miss c., we understand,
has been invited to return and assume the
duties of her present station in early au-
tumn. She ranks among the first teach
ers of our county, in point of ability and
"aptness to teach," and hence has been
eminently successful in her efforts in the
school-room. Miss MARY HEDGES, her
present assistant, is doing nobly in her de-
partment, so that the Lamont school just
ly ranks among the first in this portion of
the Valley.

clare to our foes, who are rebels against
the best interests Of mankind, that this
army will enter tho capital of tho so
called Confederacy, and that our nation
al constitution shall prevail, and that the
Union, which can alone insure internal Sc
curity and peace to each State, must and
shall bo preserved, cost what II may, in
