+. b. Wa>!lhnrnc-Dcar Sir Il state to
all citiz n who vi,i, us. tina, all that is want
ed now to insure the early restoration of the
Union is a determined unity Of sentiment in
the North. The rebels have now in their
ranks their last man. Boys and old men are
guarding prisoners and railroad bridges. and
forming a good part of the CARR sons fr the
intrcnched positions. Any man lost to them
cannot be- r, placed. They have robbed the
cradle and the grave equally to get their
present force. Besides what they lose in
frequent skirmisles aud battles they are now
lo,sing from dcsertion and other causes, at
least one regiment per dry. From this drain
upon them the end is not far distant. it we
will b. only true to ourselves. Their only
hope now is in a divided North. This might
give them rcinforccncnts from Kentucky
NJ Try land and Missouri, while it would weak.
IN ia. With the d'aft quietly enforced the
enemy would brcomn desperate and will make
but little resistance. | have no doubt that
the enemy is exceedingly anxious to hold out
until the Presidential election. They. hope
for the election Of a peace candidate in fact,
like Macawber they arc waiting for something
to turn up. If they expect a peace from
separation they are mistaken. 1t would be
but tn" beginning of a war with thousands of
Northern men brcause of our di~sagrrrmcnt..
aud max" men wiling for separation in order
to have peace on any terms. The Soull,
would demand restoration of the slaves already
They would demand a treaty which
would make the people of the North slave
hunters of the Sonth. They would demand
ndcmniticatinn for losses sustained.

by the exercise OF n spirit of c~oncilia:-
