War will be the rule, AMI not the "a -
cupti"n. Oar armies, hencJiorth will
not make war on tLe rebel armi 5
alone, They wall be ordered to make
war Oh the country, and on all its Ia
hahitants, with ut distinction. Their
eye Is Mt to pity, uOr them hand to
spare. They arc to drive ont the i'll
habitadls oi the land before them, Tor
they arc to possess the land, they aud
their children.
Let me assure the people thai | am
eonlFnqng myself to simple. literal
lacts. The administration now agrees
with Genera Sherman, that the war,
conducted as It has been, may lat for
twenty years and the South still be
unconquered, because the population,
aud the means Of the ua ural increase
OF population, will still exist. TIE
administration is determined 10 pre-

by Sherman and lurchin will be- unite
sufficient to effect it. The presen,

could well afford to give, and which
foreign nations would consider liberal:
that is, simply the old Constitution
and the old Union. But the Admin
stratiOn nave always been determined,
as was stated in my letters three years
ago, that the old Union shal never be
restored, aud they would not think
now Of offering the people ofth South
aay terms which they could accept.
What they are determined to do is to
keep them ont Of the Union, not to
bring ;hom in.

Liucoln and Seward, in refusing to
allow tho SS5 900 in gold, contributed
by charitable people in England, to be

Let the intelligent rsalars of the

n the delay. 1t IS, that England and
France, who are in perfect Accord Oh :
