My opinion would be no better than that

reason for the faith that is in me that this
war is progressing steadily to successful
te mination. Compare the state of the

South Carolina, all of Georgia, Alabama

hopes from this is ,hat their supplies all

Missouri, Arkansas, or Texas, and these
are com mple,ely now beyond their reuch. To

Why should we he impatient The Rev.

seemed strange to me that our navy could
not cath the steamer Alabama; bnt n friend
reminded me that Pant Jones, with sailing
ship e~en. upon the coast of England, bid
def ,nce to the whole British Navy for
many months and that Lord Cochrane,
with u siugie ship, held the whole French
coast in terror. SO that, if we will only
. have little patience, and possess our souls
e with little patriotism we shall have M
+ reason TO complain. But there is one hin:

merce. II is not the fault of the Navy
or of any department of the Government
but it is the fault Of our allies. Pardon

In he frs place, there has been nothing in

sta e>mrn have maligned There has been
nothing we have done that has not been

which she has not afforded our enemies
There has been nothing which she could
do under a cover Of neutrality which she
