THE GREAT REMEDY.

E u n NtD4S
There Is scarcely day in which We do not
read OF cases Of suffering communities in the
South, and OF doleful prospects OF still more
suffering as the season advances into winter.
We see, in almost every journal, dirciu' preg.
Of the dissolution Of Southern
society, Of a bloody Wat Of races, and a fear
full reign Of basbar'sm ard anarchy, the con-
tinuation Of which no man can foretell.
There may be, indeed, we doubt not, there is
some foundation for the appIehcns!cus that
the people Of the South feel, and there un-
questionably IL, in limited districts In which
war has fercely ragged, the great scarcity Of
food that betokens want kmong the ma=ees.
We can do nothing for Present distress save
to contribute our mite to its relief, and to
urge others to the exercise os Christian 'ibcr-
Rlity. But We can tell the people Of the
South Of sovereign panacca Tor the mere
terrible disastcra that they sse glo~-eting
