banking distributed among our own people, is
the true doctrine. The issues of the State
banks of Ohio, of Indiana, of Iowa, and the
Missouri banks, are among the best banks Of
the country, from the fact of their being in the
valley of the Mississippi, and not therefore
subject to the whims and caprices of the

WASHINGTON, July 80, 0,l862.-Annihilation !
Shall the Republic be annihilated Such is
the distinct alternative. Which shall we
choose The hour for hesitation is passed.
The hour for determination has come Every
minute adds alike to the responsibilities and to
the perils of the Government. But the Gov
ernment must be saved. In this great neces-
sity all minor issues, doubts and interests are
absorbed. 1t is one of the grand characters-
tics of our people that every new danger calls
from them new courage. Victory does not Gre
ate over-exultation; for victory is their deserv-
ed reward, and they accept it as such. But
defeat maddens them. They do not find the
word defeat in their vocabulary; and they
have not yet learned to submit 10 the decree
that cause so right as ours may sometimes be
overborne by the worst of foes. But they re-
bound from every fall with herculean energy.
To such race the alternative of the annihila-
ton of, their Government or the annhlla-
tion Of tho rebellion is now present
ed. They will not weaken under it.
All that is needed is that they should
feel that it is SO. This done and
the great work is begun. There are some
things that should be written on our hearts
like those axioms that have lived so long as to
| become petrifed facts. These are: No peace
that is Eot conquered. The rebels fight fol
their lives and for our death. We could moi
give what they would demand, without con-
senting to our own degradation, and to such 6
mutilation of our own soil as would leave Us
doubly degraded.
Reading our reverses in this light, we mus
accept them as admonitions and instructions
1t is just possible that series of vast Victo
ries would have produced peace equally falss
and temporary. God, in his providence, may
send US disaster as well to chasten as to erys

amazing how much the traveller can endari
after he has passed over q difficult journey. a
year ago we were raw and undisciplined, in
