The New York Evening Post, under tho
head Of "Ths Confidence of the People," has
the following paragraph. If it had said the
hopeless despair of the people it would have
been nearer right:
The confidence Of the people in the final
triumph Of our cause and the maintenance of
the Government in all its majesty and force is
no mere fgment of the imagination, which q
breath can dissipate or blow break in pieces.
Checks and reverses may deprsss, but they
cannot destroy it; they oftener, indeed,
strengthen and ennoble 1t. A fine illustration
of this is found in the temper of the people
under the news Of yesterday, which here
and elsewhere was firm and determined,
as though no shadow had darkened our
hopes. Everywhere the Government bonds
stood firm, and in many places the sales were
as large AZ on any previous day. In Philadel-
phia the subscription agent announces an az.
gregate sale of 100000 of fve.twcnties, al
most wholly by local subscription These SUBJ
scriptions, be it remembered, were made d.
rectly in the face of the intelligence from
Hooker's army. Who can doubt that the pat
riotism of the masses will vet, properly di.
rectsd, bring the nation safely through its
trials!
