n the other hand, your enemies are appalled, by
IN. magnitude of the task before them. The iord
boasrinys viii, few weeks since they 90 fiesiy
uttered, have been silencad by ynur unanimous re
enlis,nents for the war; ana the stern ana Itsoiuie
bearing Of the south. Uissenslons eXist among
them Eager 10 possess the spoils oil tne1 corrupt
and profsisste Government, they hate each DINER
nearly as much as they do us.
The war is no longer popular. The rich are al
lowed 10 by mn exemption, and thus cast all the
burden and risk upon the poor. Inc isoorinR
classes have already rev"ted against tne dtait.
To escape its Odinn, enormous bohhties nave oeeh
offered TO volunteers; blt all these expedlehts
have failed and again heavy draft has been or
dered The mics OF the enemy are every day
diminishing and Il is evident thty cannot recruit
them to the Number. Win which tney neeah .le
struggle A large and growing party are for peace
4 sl larger p rty have discovered that tie war
Ia so far only served TO entail upon Themselves
despotisin which tramples down every pnoiic ahn
private right They feel and ackrowiedge that
they aic the slaves Of one whose character has
made him od:0us 70 the world. Torn BY parry ana
personal strife, and conscious Of the impotence OF
'brtr scheme Of conquest, dhe ranks OF your enc
mics are already beginning 10 Wayer. One more
resoute effort ana the Gay IL ours.
God will strengthen your srms In the hour OF bat
tie, and give his blessings to just cause inde-
pendsnce and peace will he conceded by your enc
ulies, and YOU, the defenders OF the Commnn-
wealth, may return to your homes TO receive the
welcome dur tn the brave, aEd To enjoy those
honors which wi grow brighter as your years snail
he prolonged.
| And when your ears shall be no longer startled
by the "cia.h of resounding arms" and happy,
prosperous, ann permanent peace shall succeed,
returning from 'he fields Of your fame you will be
greeted with teau Of Joy by the loved ones NJ
home-the heroes Of every etrcie- TO receive tiie
srnef OF the fair and become the theme Of graft
iud aad praise around every hesiths,one pro,ecte-
by your vaior.
Then every heart shall rejoice 10 that quiet
which your courage hes secured Not he quiet
OF deserted homes and desoiRted farms, OF sacked
elites ana rifed cnurches, of Villages In ashes and
towns In ruins bat the quiet of smiling farms.
when the blue smoke shall curl again above the
ancestral trees TO welcome back the long exiied
rrus his home the quiet Of thriving villages,
when the old man on his cLuich aud the brave AND
war worn veteran with his efmless sleeve, shall
tell Of boody battles and scenes of privaiion 20
smiling chilGren BrOnnd him the quiet OF p fpef-
Gus cities, whose wha shall Sbiien with al opu

happy hearts aud happy h0nics shall arise thanks
