the campaign, the intense interest with which thu,
actors Ii those stirring scenes are regarded, III
spite OF the Astounding niseries entailed by the
war upon the Southern people, give eviaence of a
strength and continuity in the national sentiment
which ought to extort the admiration rather than
the hatred of their conquerors, and Quicken the
