TunSISs PoISr IN THE AMERICAN WAR-We
seem to have arrived at that turning point of the
American war. which brings Us. as il were. with
in sight Of the final scene. and the pant We shall
be called on to play in IL
The confederates began with a much less pop
ulston of whites than the federals, and this dis
parity was practically increased by the great dis
lance Of some of the states. and the want of
communication. IL was enough If the southern
and western states OF the confederation could de

federal cause was continually and largely recruit

they please by returning to the union, and they
will find the way made easy. As to conditions
Of peace, il is needless TO discuss more than one,

country. As in many other quarres, common
object OF hatred is the occasion and ground of
reconciliation. The treasures of the two sides
will not produce a large sum- but their grieyan-
ces with England monnt up 10 something consid

quarrel must leave bitter remembrances and
