{From the Richmond Examiner, Nov. 81
The greatness OF America Is recent reve-

frequently ridicn1ed By the Engliah prass and

has shown thst even these hoasts fell far short
Of the reality. It has revealed to tho world an
enormous power that oTershadoWs whatever

Europe.
Within eighteen months Of this wxr, the
North and South have raised armies larger
fleets have been launched capable Of destroy
ing the combined Davies of England and
France; 2,00, 600 Of men hare been put In
the field; and yet this internal system Of the
industry of the country aud the ordinary par-
suits Of pease have been but little interrupted,
unless from the exceptional cause Of the
blockade OF the Southern seacoast- Had the
North and South continued as one nation
there could scarcely have been auy limit to
the achievements of their military power.
England could never have checked It. We
could have 0Terru1 the continent, taken
Canada IN the teeth Of combination OF all
the European powers, and crushed England
alone as an egg shell nnder the hammer.
The bloody and unhappy revelation which
this war has made Of enormous military re-
sources has naturally given to Europe, and
