H One Of the important features Of King
lakes book on the Crimean War, is his dis
cript;on Of the battle Of the ALMA. The
authonhad the advantage Of being spectator
Of the battle, and has had access to the Eng
lish, French, and Russian reports. It ar-
pears that the battle Of the Alma was, on
both sides, a jumhle Of biunders. Both sides
seemed to invite defeat. There has been no
battle in The American war, much as We COM

Our Duty

Editors Chicago Tribune:
The news Of the defeat of Hooker chilled,
every loyal heart in Chicago, and las jeopar~
died the life Of the nation. Tic time has now
come when the friends Of the Union must
eyincc the patriotism Of the Revolution, and
laying aside all business, must make the war
the business Of every man, and the sole bust.
nese. It is useless at this period to even guess
the causes IF the defeat Of one thing there
can be no qucstiou-we had not men enough
or they we're badly handled-why reinforce
mente were not sent, OF If sent, in what way
they we're disposed Of no one here can say. It
is useless, childish to grumBlc. Yet this Is
the time for men to put their shoul-
derI 10 the wheel, and If auy are
found incompetent, they must rttire. The
trouble with England, instead Of paralIyzing
cur efforts, should stimulate them afresh.
There Is no more danger from that source
than from Mexico, and neither are to be fear
cd If our rulers are in earnest and avail them
selves Of the resources Of this country. It is
useless to c1tenuate, cFimlnatc, or bluster.
Let the CONSUMPTION be made, and at once.
Put one million Of men In the field, and meet
this crisis with all the determination It's I'M
po1tance demands. That change In the Cabi-
net is now necessary, every man must see.
That more men are required the lists from the
fight of killed, wounded, and missing, will
fully demonstrate. II ever in the history Of
this country every man YVES expected to do
his duty, this is the time. Call a public
meeting here, Let us know what re have left
If the country but realizes its danger then
will success speedily fol1ow-until that
period arrives, We ehall be discounted and
beaten. When once alarmed ne are safe. Il
is even so with 6oldicrs-1t WAS so at Shiloh
We were Deaten and scared the fist day; tue
second, ~hen fairly aroused, there was no
centcst. Northern tolerance overcamc
Southern iu,petucslty, and the rebels were
driven from every position. It will ever be
60, and the future will demonstrate tho p,in,
cille. VIC have men and munitions Of war
greatly superior to our aiversarics, all that Is
necessary is to be satisfied the country Is in
danger, and rely on it, thousands will flock
to tke good old flag, whose symnathies haze
heretofore only been exercised. Arouse
these men's fears and II will be right. Let
us meet and say to the President We want
new men at the head Of the war direction
thcn call for all you want, and We will ill the
draft. TO.Z

Cd The respect entertained for our will. But
II now tile sure expulsion Of The barbarilns
does not take place, the hearts Of the people
