TIE TRIBUNE devotes attention in calmer times
perance, Agriculture, Inventions, and whatever
else may minister to the spiritual and material
progress and well being of mankind but for the
present its energies and its columns are mainly
devoted to the invigoration and success of the
W ar for the Union. Its special correspondents
accompany every considerable army and report
every important incident of that great struggle
which trust is soon to result in the signal and
conclusive triumph of the National arms and in
the restoration of Peace aud Thrift to dis
tracted bleeding country. We believe that not
otherwise can a fuller or more accurate view of
the progress and character of this momentous con-
1ict be obtained than through the regular peru
sal of our columns. And we earnestly solicit the
cooperation of all friends of the National cause,
which regard and uphold as that of Universal
Humanity, to aid US in extending its rculation.
