GOD Axo our COUNTRY.

The history of this struggle for free

with wonder and awe. The battles
between the contending principles Of
democracacy and slavery, or rather be-

Of . mighty people and the irnprovised
sytem Of q desperate aristcrcracy---
these battles in the Virginia that lies
nearest tie Federal capital, and in that
Georgia which lies in the tosom of the
far off Sonth-are incontestably more
sanguinary and more bitterly contested
than any battles known to human an
nails. We read Of them with an hourly
increasing interest in the issues they
involve, and with steadily increasing
confidence in the triumph Of the Repub.
lie. That confidence is the rock Of a 10y
al and an unswerving faith in our God
and our country. And behold how
