Now, as to determination. We are

the questionable great question:

els have maintained themselves thus
far, by an unmitigated despotism.--
When they want supplies, they take
them--whcn they want men, they do
not ask them to volunteer take
them. This cannot be done in the
Northern States; the Government
must depend upon the voluntary sac

The brute force used by Davis,

On last Sabbath morning Rev. DIR.

Tabernacle Church, in the cohrse of q
sermon ON Christian patriotism, urg-
ed all the members Of the congrcga-
ton who, from any cause, were ex-
empt from the operations OF the draft,
to furnish substitutes in their place.
In this way the army would be speedi.

marily put down. His exhOrtstion
was enforced by the example of n
member of his congregation who had
lost son in battle. and not having
another son to present to his country
in her time of need, had procured a
substitute and sent him to the teld.
Others were invited so initiate this 10.

The congregation, we understand,
were prompt in acting upon the sug-

n Committee appointed to recei sub

At this early hour, Tuesday morning,
the Committee report money pledged
for the payment Of twehty-one substi-

Courage.

If any were foolish enough to
suppose that this war could be ended
without reverses, it is time experience
had taught them better. Everything
is now going on well Notwithstanding
the rebel force is in Maryland. 1t
will not be there long, nor will it
make anything by the effort. Indeed,
if it gets back at all, it will be be-
cause OF gross laundering some
where. What the people want at this
time is courage. They expected
when Grant moved, that Richmond
would be tskcn in two weeks, and
Lees army DESTROYED, and ditto ol
Sherman. They did not take into
account the fact that Grant and Sher-
man were both opposed by vast arm
les, under skilful leaders, and that
such armies are not destroyed in one
or two moaths.
That Grant and Sherman will he

will bring us in sight of the promised
