Our Dangers and Our Duties.

Late accounts from the North concur in
representing the public sentiment a. being
more united in favor Of vigorous prosscu.
ti"n Of the war than ever before. Twelve
months ngo there wns promise Of the North
becoming divided, by \ party in favor Of
peace upon the basis "f separation; bu,
under the dulnsion that the South is nearly
conquered, tho Yankees are now almost n
unit in favor Of striking vigorously, and
thus, ns they conceive. put a speed, end to
the MAR. Their preparations for the spring
campaign, We have reason to believe, are on
= more gigantic scale than they have been
hitherto; and it bseonss eur Government
and people to prepare accordingly. The
North Ia now fully determined upon con.
Susring a peace upon the basis OF reuniun,
and nothing less than The most disastrous
defeats Of their armies, during the sominy
campaign, will convince them Of their ina.
bllity 10 subdus US. The Government
should direct all Of its energies to the prop.
or application Of its resources for the de-
fence Of The country: and every individual,
whether in tho army or out Of it, should
prosecute his calling aud discharge his da.
ties in the way best calculated to promote
tue common good. Nothing less than the
highest "lsdom and energy in the Govern
meat, and harmony Of feeling and concert
Of action among tho people, will save us
from ,he dipast cnlnmiti,s HAT Inv. ,r.r
bcfsllen n nation.
