become dearcr and dcarer We have
a twenty years war before us, upon
the principle Of regro fraternity and
equality, contsCatIon, and eXtermlna-
ton. In two years and Il half, we
have cxterminated and desoatcd the
eastern slope of Virginia, the border
counties in Missouri, considerable
portion Of Louisiana bul it is elgh-
teen hundred miles from the Potomac
TO the Rio Grandc, and the desOlation
and determination Of fifty miles per
year, for eighteen hundred miles, is a
work Of thirty-siX years-the proba-
bic duration of the war, under the
new Lincoln programme.
The war might be over, and would
be over, with Il change Of administra-
4ion. in six months-because new
administration would change all this
existing programme. 1t would at
tempt, insist upon, and enforce the
Unity and Indivisi5ility Of the repub-
lie, and end with nothing short Of it ;
but it would, at the same time, with
she sword, carry the olive branch,
.and so, leaving nothing for the south
10 fight for, divide that south, upon
the principle Of selfgoyernment, and,
in the end, voluntarily bring back
This south. The conservative policy
aoward the south would be such, that,
leaving the south nothing to fight for,
no secession or war party could be
maintained in that south
The Coal FAMINE-UsEFUL HINTS.
The coal famine is bearing down
heavily upon the citizens Of Cncin-
matt because only 5000 bushels of
,coal arrives there by railroad daily,
sand $4,000 to $4,000 are daily needed
Nor consumption. In view of the scar
city and high prices, n Cincinnati
paper makes the following suggestions
10 coal consumers, which we repro
cluce, warning our readers, however,
that there is point whore coal Gin
,ders cease to have any virtue:
"The ashes or cindors ars not to be
thrown away, but dampened to a
kind Of mortar, and again placed on
the fire. They burn readily, and by
so doing there is the economy Of hay
ing hot fire with one tenth of the
fuel, besides not being troubled tC
convey the ashes to receptacle
We do not know of 4 stove that can
not make ashes enough to supply it
self, only f9w nuggets Of coal being
used First make u fire in the usua
way, and when it begins to burn free
ly, place lump OF coal (the best neal
the stove door or front Of the CRATE
then heap on the wet ashes or en-
ders, and pack them down, the vent
below being unobstructed. The pro
cess is simple, and fe v trials will
satisfy the unbeliovers. Dust Goa
may be used in the same way, and W,
are assured that many cellars hav,
mines OF wealth in the refuse OF torme
years While coal is SO scarce and S,
costly, should not economy prompt
trial Of the plan pointed out, which |
attended with so littlo trouble and
sparing of labor"
