pie when this cruel slsughtsr Of AMERICAN
Iby Americans Is ended when the MARTA
music of the hateful ffe and drum is su
perceied by the sweet song Of peace; wher
the march Of armies gives way to the march
CT industry aud civilization when spears
lshall DO turned into pruning hooks, and
swords into ploughshares, and the Goddess
Of Liberty, folding away forever the blood
stained banner Of civil war, wears upon
her wounded bosom the healing olive branch
of peace.
The Fort Warren (Tnd. Sentinel says
In view Of the disasters which attend our
arms on the Potomac, the utter demoraliza-
ton Of our army, the dissentions amsDg our
generals, and the determination Of Lincoln,
Staunton and Hallsek to prevent General
Mcclellan or any Of bis friends--or, in feet,
any Democratic General who designs carry
ing on the war for the salvation of the I'M
ion rather than to build up the abolition
party = from successfully carrying on a
campaign, is it not time to enquire if our
national difficulties can not be adjusted in
some other way than by fighting.
The Massi4lon (0hio) Sentinel says ::
War can never restore this Union. The
time when force could have accomplished
anything has passed. As long as the peo-
pie placed confidence in the integrity of
the Administration, so long there was hope
that the Government would be able to
maintain itself. But that confidence isl
gone. Not one man in ten in our entire
army, or throughout the non-seceded States,
now believes that the war is being conducted
fcf the preservation of the Unions Hardly
any one, save those who are coming money
out Of the nations calamity, has any conf"
dcnco in Mr. Lincoln or his advisers.
The Hamilton (0hio) Telegraph says
One universal cry for peace goes up from
every home. Four-ffths Of the brave men
now in the feld desire peace, Those who
love the Union, and are loyal to it, want
this war stopped those who desire separa-
ton clamor for its continuance. Thevery
life-blood Of the nation has been Slapped
from it, and yet we hear the fanatics cry
for war--war and determination. The real
enemies of hesGoyernment are those who
have been loudest and mort blatant for
they are those who haze only
monied interest in the war, and have made
no sacrifices Of life, or property, or friends.
These men, having never felt the desolation
incident to the loss Of q son or brother on
the battlefield, sneer at the weeping mother
aud friends, and even accuse them Of doubt
rul patriotism. Men write long war arti-
cles for payj and when we see man in
lifting blood and thunder leaders for loyal
newspapers, or some brainless fool clamoring
ouder than his fellow for more lives, we are
,ure there 10 some consideration, some pay
It the bottom Of itall. Men in high places,
drawing large salaries, can afford to damn
he rebels and denounce traitors in the
North, II isa pleasant thought for she {
oldier, toiling and bleeding through strife
md storm, to hear Of bis neglected family Is
low the PATRIOTS promised protection and
bread to the wife and child, and gave them
lone. The brave rian standing guard amid
he sleet and Stew Of winter night, or
marching to the death, and all the while the {
owed onesat home dying from want. Any ,
,no who reads the papers Of New York,
Il. Louis and Cincinnati, will know that :
his is no fabrication, no picture Of pOesy.
