Shepherd, who came into the world 10 seek
and save the lost. He told how this Saviour
met the rude bufetings of the heartless sol

The annals of history present no parallel to the
giant strife now prosecuted upon this continent for
the support of government, the preservation Of
the Union, and the salvation OF the great Repubi-
can principle Of selt-government. The magnitude
Of the objects at stake, paramount in moral view,
are equalled only by the wonderful display of mill
tary power developed by the progress OF science
modern implements of war; of steam, in the rapid
transportation of armies and supplies by railroad and
water; Of the telegraph, n the instantaneous trpns
mission OF news from headquarters in the field to
the national headquarters; and Of the balloon in
rect nnotering the enemy's position, enabling the
prompt concentration of mighty forces. This Won
dorful panorama of moving armies, of commotion in
the commerce and industry Of the world, while the
attention Of all nations is absorbed by the deadly
attack on the institution of Republican freedom the
last hope of the oppressed in all countries and cimes

and every sentence With important facts,
Aside from its national Importance it has pecu-

in heroic resistance, in the toilsome march, claim
