mankind but for the present its energies and
its columns are mainly devoted to the invigor-

Its special correspondents accompany every
considerable army and report every important
incident of that great struggle which we trust
is soon to result in the signal and conclusive
triumph of the National arms and in the res

and bleeding country. We believe that no
otherwise can fuller or more accurate view
of the progress aud character of this momen-

nestly solicit the cooperation of all friends of
the National cause, which we regard and up
hold as that of Universal Humanity, to aid US
In extending its circulation.
