The Prospect and our Duty.

In the prosecution Of the present war
for the suppression Of formidable rebel
lion, one great lack seems to have been
oititary generaIship. The President has
done his utmost to give US that, and pro-
baby 10 other man occupying the Presi-
DENTAL chair could or would have succeed
ed better than he has. We have not been
until now military people, and great
Generals, like all other really great men,
are to be proved 50 only upon thorough
trial. We are in the midst of trying
times, and leaders as we'll as people, Gen
erals as well as soldiers, are being tried.
Some will be found wanting, but time
and events will gradually develop the
great leader Of the war, who will discover
and hew out the road to success with his
word and sword, aided by the courage and
devotion of the people Of the loyal States
already SO we'll developed.
There are certain preliminary conditions
which we will briefly state. There must
be union and harmony between the gov
ernment and the people. There must
be full and implicit confidence in the
Army. There must be abiding trustful-
nets, forbearance and patience in the pop
ular heart, where patience should never
languish even for moment, and where
courage should never Waver Clouds will
not always euvelop US Yesterday it was
dark and rainy and dreary and cheerless J;
but to-day how brightly and warmly the
sun shines, and how clear is the sky above
US! True, We have had no decisive vic
tory; but let US wait. The present aspect
of affairs is encouraging Victory agtH
come-must comedies come in several
Instances, recently. Let US wait and
keep our hearts firm and our faith alive,
and our fists cIenched only when thinking
of the enemy who is Staying our brothers
while fighting for their country and oar
country N.titayy success, SO earnestly
desired by President Lincoln, SO eagerly
hoped for by the people, and SO necessary
to the triumph Of our cause, can not be
deferred forever. 1t vii! come in time.
We have waited for it long-n0t without
impatience, not without humiliation even
but We can afford to wait much longer
if necessary, for the sake of a Union which
must be restored, Government which
must be defended and perpetuated.

weeks ago "thc South would spurn these

is loyal who talks of any other peace than
a peace conquered, or peace secured by
the withdrawal of every rebel in arms
and full return to Federal authority. A
few questions for this copperhead Democ-
racy to answer are: Did you ever hear of
an AJohtiOnist being in the army OF the
South ? Did you ever hear Of an Aboii-
zionist opposing any measure of the Gov
ernmeut, which might be in the least
part beneficial to the cause ? Did you
ever hear of an Abolitionist opposing the
election of Union Democrat? Did you
ever hear an Aboitionist sneer at the
means the Government has found it neces-
sary to employ in paying the soldiers or,
did you ever hear an abolitionist depre-
clatlng the United States money? Did
you ever hear an abolitionist say he would
resist the draft; or, did you ever hear of
this being done by abolitionists. To these
questions you must in truth answer, most

for tho copperhead partizaus that they,
in the mouths Of their Vallandighams,
Coxes, Woods, and Seymours, have been

it was worth the trouble, we could prove

the warm hearted, earnest Senator from
Erie, introduced the following joint res
olutions, which, after remarks from him,
were adopted unanimously:
Resolved, That the unanimous thanks
of this Legislature be rendered to His
Excellency, Andrew G. Curtin, for the
foresight, energy and constaucy manifest
ed in bis efforts to privide proper
nursing and medical aid for the sick and
wounded Pennsylvania Volunteers in the
service Of the United States.
Resolved, That We undoubtingly ap-
prove Of the policy recommended by him
to the national authorities, that our dis
abied citizens should, whenever their
health and condition would permit, be
moved to Hospitals within
our own State; and that we urge upon
the officers Of the General Government
the importance Of rendering their imme-
diate aud thorough cooperation in carry
ing out the measures proposed by Gov.
Curtin for accomplishing this end, by the
adoption of such regulations and orders
as will insure the regular transmission of
sick and wounded Pennsylvania volun-
teers to the care Of their families, or to
Hospitals within the State.

One cause of the excitement against
the draft in Milwaukee was the fact that
the Germans had been persuaded that
there would be no draft If they would
"vote the democratic ticket" This was
such an easy way to avoid the draft, that
the 9th ward, out of 927 votes, gave 693
democratic majority. To their astonsh-
ment, no sooner had Milwaukee county
given nearly 5000 majority for the reg
ular democratic ticket" than a draft came
upon them The 9th ward was drafted
for l69 soldiers That seems enormous,
to them, after voting the "regular demo-
cratic ticket" Next year, some of those
honest Germans will be heard from-''can
