ALONG WAR.
fFfon the Southern Watchman]
We heard an earnest Methodist divine, and
one who, By the way is not less brilliant as
soldier and statesman than clergyman, ex-
press the opinion that war Of fourteen or f1f-
teen ye1r's duration would be far more desir-
able to the South than short War, because it
will take long time to Wean Us from our old
pendence upon the North, and to purge, but
finally and forever the last moral. eociAl, and
political trace and vestige Of the Union.
We differ somewhat from our esteemed
friend. It seems to us that q war about the
length Of the first Revolution would be tine
enough to effect the desired object. Already,
after only one year Of Yankee invasion aud
butchery, the great mass Of QUE people are

never cross that gulf is made up Of the blood
