'DTsCoURAGING ENLIsTMENTs. -
The Tifhn Adgertiser justly remarks

! Democrats are willing that every mar

front. The abolitioDists all along have

I to 20. Father Abraham wants their

abuse of Demoerats-stop revilins
your neighbors as traitors, copper
heads" and take the knapsack on your
shoulder, the musket in your hands

The Stasadard of June 16, 1864
says
Ifyou would ask the Confederate
soldier Why he risks his life so madly
he would tell you that he was fighting
for his home, his freside, and his free
dom.
Same. The bulk of the American
people are heartily sick of this horrid
butchery which is daily hurrying its
thousands of brave men to useless and
unavailing slaughter. They die like
heroes, but for what
Sumo. The struggle has degenerated
into a mere mad crusade against negro
slavery, and the only disCernable OBJ
ject Of the strife is the freeing of the
negro.
Same. The strife that is now be-
tween the North and the South cannot
be ended by one or by fifty victorious
battles. We may take Richmond and
Charleston. and Mobile we may Oc-
cupy- every city and every important
town In the South we may disperse
every regiment Of the Confederate ar
mics and spread our sOldiary over ev-
cry foot of Southern soil we may
hang Jefferson Davis and all the lead
ing officials, but still the rebellion will
not be subdued OF the war ended.
There viii still remain. while the
Southern heart IS what 1t IS,
"The unconquerable VIII
And study of revenge, immortal hate
And courage never to submit or yield
And what is else not to be overcome"
There are but two ways in which
this strife can ever end. We must Ell
ther eonciliate the South, and thus in-
duce a voluntary return of the revolt
ed States to the Union as it was, be-
cause any other form of Union is i'm
practicable and impossible under a re-
publican form of government, or we
must exterminate the white population
Of the South Until one or the other
of these things is done the war cannot
end. and we shall not find ourselves
able to hold a single foot of Southern
territory beyond that in the occupancy
of our armies, or to- extend the au
.thority Of the government over "A spot
not under the rude rule of military
Let no mar, be SO foolish as to imag-
inc that the rebellion Is crushed, OF
