Sir,-Many have queried What caused the
European war? The that caused our
civil war. Quarrelsone leaders started the war:
the soldiers. some fought for glory some were
drafted and had to fight. some to protect their
homes and firesides, some fought to restore
the union, abolish slavery las they

bounty money and protective pensions
If two boys men get to fighting the police
arrest them and hale them to court, where the
