FRUITS Dl2SIDERaTED.


We find the following in the National
1ntcufgencer in reply to IN article in the

The difference between us and the
1nteuigenoer seems to be in what We meant
By the laws Of Nature, and Of War, and Of
Gods providence and their normal work
ing. We may perhaps be able to make the
.Intensgencer understand us, and itself more
fully, by asking what it holds respecting
another Proclamation, dated April Is,
1861, commanding certain persons, 'tto dis
perse and retire peaoeably to their respect
i've abodes, within twenty dayB!" 1t is
most three years since that Proclamation
was issued, and does the Ia5cMgencer not
see that " the faulty Of thus seeking to get
the start Of Time and Providence was ney-
er more st1ihinely illustrated than in the
demonstrated inef1iciency Of that edict!"
The InteM5cneer scens to hold that the
1nor1nM working" Of q Proclamation is
to execute itself; that If it docs not accom-
plish ALI commands by its own inherent
cfticacy,it ccasesto be normal, and becomes
presumptuous, fatuous and all wrong. Did

Iateuieucer mainly oyershoot the marx in

we must say We are a little confused. II
the InteMqenoer means to declare thst il

shatter things and hurt, we cau appreciate
