The CoNDUcT OF THE WAR.-For one long year,
says the Richmond Dispatch, has war, in its most
vindctive FORM ragged upon Southern territory, and
yet to this hour not a single blow has been struck
upon Northern soil, not Southern musket has been
fired beyond Southern limits, not even the sound
of hostile gun has been heard upon the Northern
air. Not one Northern family has been driven
from their homes, not one Northern homestead
given to the flames not one Northern acre desoated
All this we have borne-we who only ask for
peace we who only desire to be let alone we, the
unoffendng people of the South are made to bear
all this, and once to strike back at cruel
invaders. We are playing the part of the frogs in
the pond pclted with rocks by cruel boys, and only
to find safety in lodging the best can the dan
play to be endured? What good has it accom-
pshed
Have our sufferings softcned the hearts of our
sentiments of federation? On the contrary, it has
increased their hate and ferocity ten-fold. They
look upon it not as iorbearance, but pusllanimty.
If we had followed them up at Manassas, burned
Washington to the ground, and rallying around
our banner the glorious men of Maryland, had
poured our victorious legions into Pennsylvania
and Ohio, the would by this time be ended, or
at any rate, the enemYs capacity for mischief des
troyed Peace is peace, and war is war, but Of
all the wars We have ever heard of, this, our
sIde least deserves the name If not too late to
retrieve this fatal error, we should make gigantic
effort to hurl back upon the enemys country, in
irresistible avalanche, all the calamties and evils
of war, which for one long year he has visited at
his leisure upon ourselves.
