TIE LONDON PRESS ON TIE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG

The real lesson that should be drawn from the
political failure of these repeated and mutual inva

Of questions and principles, which can only be set.
tied by craftsmanship. National madness has given
them over for decision by the sword, and it is now
evident to the world that fighting brings that de-
cision no nearer. Opinion has marked out a from
tier which armies cross in vain to compel submis-
sion. Which ever side attacks seems destined al-
ways to fail The South, constantly victorious in
Virginia, IS baflled when it passes North Of the Po
tomac Even the alternating successes of the war,
in the waste Of life by which they are purchased,
prove it despera,e and the repeated failures on
both sides, for any purpose larger than destruc-

events can do, to settlement of another kind
The war may be continued to mutual exhaustion,
but it will never mutually convince Statesmen, if

Every crisis Of affairs seems to elicit additional

the surrender of Vcksburg, and the incidents of the
second Maryland campaign have exhibited the

most ptiable
With their country torn asunder and its soil
reeking with blood, they only find voice to make
poor and hippaut election speeches. Whom "sere-

Mr. Seward crowned the vretchcd display by some
thing that record but will not here repeat, for
it was simply basphemous. That men in such pc.
sitions could so express themselves At such time
is deplorabe illustration of the deseneracy Of

psror Of France picked quarrel with the poor de-
caying republic of Mexico-invaded the country
conquered its chief places, and is now engaged in
caanging its government and forcing King upon
them This is one Of the greatest outrsges Of mod
ern times Mexicans alone have right to rule
Mexico; but the Emperor Napoleon has, by the
strong hand, beaten down the Democratic principle
10 that country, and forced distant people, whom
hs has no right to control, to accept laws and

OF the Confederate States may expect if they should
fai into the hands of Napoleon. England and France
are both standing by, waiting to see the North and
South exhausted in this straggle aud then they
hope to step in and govern us in their way for
the advancement of their own interests
The lust for domnion-for more land among the
people of the United States led TO the war between
the United States and Mexico. The Southern States
had enough territory for their slaves for hundreds
ofyears; but not content with that they desired

North looking to political and commercial adyanta

PUBLIC MEErlNas.--The Editor Of the Progrsss,
in giving summary of recent public meetings in
this State, says:
1--WE make these extracts from the proceedings
of these meetings show the deep seated desire for
peace that pervades the masses. The people that
held these meetings belong to the honest, farming,
laboring classes, and while they desire above all
things speedy, lasting and honorable peace, any
assertion that they favor submission or would be-
guilty of treason to the Confederate government is
q foul calumny: While the armies are kept in the
field and the war is prosecuted with vigor they de-
sire that an earnest effort be made to bring about
peace by negotiation. They want no peace that
will dishonor them, their section or government
and rather than submit to such they are willing to
submit to farther and still creator sacrifices We do
not approve admire all that has been uttered in the
resolutions of these meetings. Blu: we believe the
people to be honest and patriotic, and believing
we shall defend them; and we would suggest to
those who are denouncing these meetings and those
who take part with them, that they could much bet
ter serve the country by entering the ranks than by
charging others with treason"
