The views u tie Times we're The

" the correspondents OF the Times
but the English people, are very much
disturbed BY orr perverseuess in de-
stroy ing all their ca culations and ex.
pecta'ions. For many years the
English public have been taught TO
believe that at the fret appearance OF
internal commotiou tie great Re
public would dissolve in a day.
Aud when tie internal commo;ion
assumed the proportions OF great
I'il war, it was confidently assert
ed that with il would end the I'M
on OF The States and the civil institu- |
ions Of the Republic. As months
nd years d war proved that the ma
ion was tenacious OF It's life, our Eng.
sh friends consoled themselves from
ay 10 day that the strength OF the
eople could sustain the contest but
tile longer. Time and time was SET
eyond which the financial recources
I the nation could not last. But
ach day came aud passed, and the
rm:es were paid and the credit of
DC nation remained good. After
ach new call for troops they said
mother levy could not be raised And
ct our armies continually increased,
niil at the last day Of the war near
I round million Of men were under

ie nation was ia no danger from the
