In what sanss is it the rich mans war more

men Of the South brought On or sought the war

that class Of people. Bat with 5 full knowledge
OF ths terrible losses, waste and destruction that
mast follow, and with = patriotism and disiBtOT-
ssteinsss unsqualed in the past history Of The
world, the large mai0rty Of our wealthy eiiizsns
cana up zobIy to the saeIifes, lending their
inhzsncs sHd support, greatly aiding the Gov
by liberal donations Of monoy, cloth

their money and inausnee, but il is well known
THAI ia he first year Of tie var, our army was
largely composed Of wealthy citizens. Their
sous, too, were among the FIRST ID enter the
Arena Of bloody strife, snd to illustrate Southern
ehivalry upon many glorious field, hamiiiaiag
the proud and ~iazoleut invader, giving Us the
early prestige of victory, and commanding fer
our young ConfsdsTscy the admiration Of he
world.
Mr. can can II be sais At this stage Of the
contest, to Be the rich mans war say more ihsn
the poor man's; for the property Of all is alike
eoufseassd-sbs poor mans cabin and patch, As
well as the rich mans mansion and wide acres.
It Is only il degree they differ; the loss, IN the
event Of sUbiagaEion, viii be toe ell Of sasb
While he greater loss Of honor snd iadsPeR6-
ence, for ourselves and postsEity, viii be equally
raiaous Ead disgrsesfd ts both! Even those
among rs VIE have no properly whatever have
an interest in the result Of the war Of which
shsy hsvee perhsps little conception. Not

hearted man must feel in the vel
fare Of bis Heighbors and friends who have
property, snd for the honor, fame snd glory Of
