hundred million of dollars has thus been
expended since we met on the second day
OF December, and all that time our army
has been in repose. What the expendi-
ture will increase to when that great day
shall arrive when our eyes shall be glad

millions will 20 with the hundred more
he had enumerated. Another hundred
million may be added to these before the
4th OF March. What it may cost TO put
down the rebellion lie cared very little,

and he was free to confess that his faith
sometimes fails him-he meant his faith in
men-not his faith in the cause. When
the history OF these times shall be written
it will be question upon whom the guilt
will rest most heavy-upon him who has
conspired to destroy, or upon him who
has proved incompetent to preserve, the
