scarcely man IN the on'on VINO ooe'
not ask this question every day OF he
life. Why should it be asked l. it not
known shst there are million o. men
in the field fighting their way to the last
and the decisive battle grourd. II will
end when that point is reached, but not
before /; Why should the people trouble
themselves about tho matter at all
WHY not wait and let things take then
course--pay the taxes promptly every
time the collector comes around send
their husbands, brothers, and sons into
the battle field when called for and lake
things in q passive, easy SOFT OF a way
eay YES to everything the Administia-
ton may do, and count everything that
il done as q matter OF course. Why
not !
Bn, that does not seem TO satisfy the
public mind The people know tnSl
nearly . million and hall OF men nave
gone into the field 10 do = job when ~
first it was decided that seventy hVe
thousand could accomplish. lhey see
half n million OF soldiers cxerting them
selves TO march from Washington to
Riehmond-s short distance, yet near
" two years have been spent 10 the
attempt, and the present prospect Of
success Is no better, If as good ~ it
was at tho outset. They cannot see
how the battle, that is to decide in ia.
vor OF the Union, is to be done in
that way. They see hundreds Of mil
lions spent every six months in prose-
cutting the campaign that brings about
no adequate results. This money comes
not from an accumulated capital depos-
tied at the seat of Government, nor
yet is it 10 the hands Of tho people.
They look upon it As q constant drain
from pockets already empty-as
drain upon their future energies
--as draft that they will never see
cashcd-as constantly increasing bur
den that they can never discharge, but
one that they will have to hand over to
their children and their shildren's chill.
dren to generations not 10 be computed.
And though this is done and beng done
constantly, it brings no certain promise
ofadequate bessings-no promise Of
the restoration Of the Union. They hes
itate and query-but it is not because
they do not love the Union-it is be-
cause they cannot see how all this sac
ritice Of life and this increase Of finan.
cisl burden 10 to attain the object sought.
At all events the history that las been
made during the last eighteen months
does not strengthen their belief in fu-
ture success. They look in vain through
history to find grounds for hope. They
compare the wars Of former days with
the present and close the voumne with.
ont fading precedent upon which to
hang this hope. Hence they become
rest've-unessy, and ask the question
When is this war 10 end 1t is more
declaration that they are getting tired
Oft and want peace instead of war than
like the simple question OF one in search
OF information. The very fact that the
question cannot be answered renders
them more weary and stronger in the
faith that it is not to end as they wish
1t might. So the entire country is que
rying and longing for the end which is
not yet, and OF which there are no
cheering signs.

Capture of the Robert IL. Lee and other VSsscls.
The New York Herald of last Saturday, copy Of
which we have been permitted to look at, settles the
question Of the capture of the Confederate steamer
Robert f. Lee. The Herald says:
Admiral Lee has communicated to thu Navy De-
parment the particulars relating to the recent capture
of the North Carolina coast, from which it appears
that the cargo of the Robert E. Lee consists Of two
hundred and fourteen large and bales of shoes and
blankets, of the bales weighing two tons; one
hundred and fifty of Austrian rifles, two hundred
and fifty bags of sapetre and sixty barrels of SALT
provisions, pig lead ETC. OF sixty-two persons
prsing the officers and crew. only fifteen were natives
OF the United States. Among the passengers are q.
E. Stewart, Belgian Consul, and HORACE II. Weber
and H. w. Rookie, Lieutenants in the British Royal
artillery The vessel had no ships papers
The Robert E. Lee was discovered by the James
Adger the morning OF the 9th inst, and chase was
given which resulted in the capture OF the vessel at
haf-past seven the same day.
