upon the side of our government, and the
south already feel the withering scorn, which
the masses in the old world, are casting upon
those who drench their land in blood, fer the
ingorious purpose Of perpetuating the horrors
of human S!aUery. Their paper currency
has we'll nigh played out, and military des.
potism, is now forcing from starving people
the scanty meaas CT its own subsistence. IfI
the outside world will leave US alone to settle
this family difficulty, the subject will be ar
ranged in due time, in keeping with the
great interests of freedom and humanity.
We often meet scenes here calculated to
awaken the sympathies of the heart. Only
few days since a young lady and her father,
had come long distance to see sick son
and brother, connected with one of our New
York regiments. After surmounting various
difficulties, they reached this station, to learn
the object of their painful solicitude, had
breathed his last only few hours before. 1t
was paiaful to witness the agony of this dis
appointed sister
One Of our men prostrated by disease, and
wandering in wild delirium, fancied that he
was ia the hands of the rebels, who were
about to take his life. He plead NEST piteous-
Iy to be spared, for the sake of his wife and
child but in spite of human skill disease
accomplished its fatal work, and that wife is
now widow, and her child fatherless. How
many are made such, by the ravages of this
terrible war. But as a nation, we have
been involved in guilt, and we hope we may b.
purified and made better, by these painlu
chastenings. We dive for pearl, in sorrows
stream, and individual Affections may prev,
in disguise, our greatest blessings and may
not our national trials, and sorrows develope
those traits in our national character, thai
shall commend us to the Divine mercy and
protection ? 1t is pleasant to reflect annie
these scenes Of trial, that there is God o
Infinite Pertections, who presides over tht
affairs of men and nations and that not ever
the sparrow falleth to the ground wthou
his notice. He can cause that, even tht
wrath of man shall praise him, asd overrult
even our national troubles, for his glory ap(
the triumph of the principles Of rightesa
and truth.
