We are now cjtcamped in the woods about tom
miles fffcai Winchester. Va.; awaiting orders. We
have returned this far from Romney. The loca
tion is cool, pleasant and agreeable, and just far
t-nough from the town to keep the soldiers order
ly. 1 have no especial news to report. Our
camp consists of three regiments, viz.: Tenth,
Virginia, Col. Gibbons; Thirteenth Virginia, Col.
Hill, and Third Tennessee, Col. Vaughan, making
a total of near 2,ODD men. Ail three of them are
tine regiments, and made up of good men. who
are “game” throughout. Colonel Hill, late of the
I 1 . S. Anny, is commandant at this post. The
men arc all well and in good spirits, and seem to
enjoy soldier's life exceedingly, and make no com-
plaint, except they wan? a little “tire water,”
which they caunot get, as none is allowed to he
brought to the camp.
Great numbers of ladies come out from the

Commissioner from Texas and the Confederate
States to the Creek Nation, has just returned.
The Mississippi Baptist siys his mission was en
tirely successful. He negotiated an arrangement
by which these tribes will dissolve their connec

come connected with the Confederate States, with
a different political status than that they have
had. llertofore they have been only tenants at

is now proposed to give them the ownership ic fee
of the territory they occupy, to belong to them
and theirs forever. They wiil thus he elevated to
the dignity of a sovereign independent State, and

federacy, having equal representation with other
States in the Congress of the Confederate States,

Scarce had the clock struck the hour of
twelve announcing that the mystic hour of
midnight had arrived, and Monday morn
ing the liist day of July, 18G1, would soon
he ushered in, when the shrill cry of “fire,”
was sounded in our streets. The lateness
of the hour—few people, save the police
and members of the printing craft being
up; several minutes clasped before the
alarm became general. Engine and church
hells soon pealed forth their warning notes
which aroused the most profound sleeper.
When first discovered, the tire which orig
inated on the roof of the store occupied by
Messrs. Youngblood & Harris on Cotton
Avenue, was not larger than a man’s hand,
but a stiff breeze setting in from the West
it soon communicated to the adjoining
buildings. The streets now presented an
animated scene, being densely crowded
with our citizens who were generously en
deavoring to save from the fiery waves,
all the goods they possibly could. Y oung
America Engine Company, true to the
spirit of that name, was first on the spot.
Soon our other engine companies came up,
and a desperate assault was made upon the
ignitiuous invader, hut such was the fierce
ness and progress of the flames that our
gallant firemen were forced to retreat at
several points. The flames successfully
progressed from Youngblood & Harris’ to
Wheeler A Wilbur's thence to Bearden &
Caines’ and MeCallie A: Jones’ and was
finally checked by the allied forces at a
‘-mall wooden building, the lower part of
which was occupied by W. B. Heath, as a
liar room. Too much praise cannot be
awarded our brave firemen for their noble
efforts to check the destroyer’s course.—
When the conflagration was at its height,
the scene presented was grand and sub
lime. The ehureh spires in the vicinity
were brilliantly illuminated by the glare
of the flame, and a continuous cloud kept
booming up in all the grandeur of its Iri
descent splendor, while the countless host
of cinders and flakes that followed in its
wake appeared as if they were millions of
stars, the whole resembling after a few
moments contemplation a magnificent dis-
• dving view. .

■ Before I left Gen. Bragg, he was good
enough to say lie would send down one of
! his Aides decamp and horses e illy in the
morning to give me a look at the works.
From the London Times,
flr. Russell Visits General Bragg.
The skipper returned from shore with
an orderly who l might the needful per
mission to haul the Diana alongside the
wharf, where 1 landed, and was conducted
by an aid of the Quartermaster General
through the shady streets of this graceful
little village, which covers an inclosure of
300 acres, and, with tlie adjoining forts,
cost the United States over <£6.000,000
sterling, which may have something to do
with tlie President’s determination to hold
a property under so heavy an hypotheca
tion. Irish landlords, with encumbered
estates, have no such simple inode of ob
taining an acquittal.
The Navy-yard is, properly speaking, a
settlement of exceedingly neat detached
houses, with gardens in front, porticos,
pillars, verandahs, and Venetian blinds to
to aid the dense trees in keeping off the
scorching ra? s of the sun, which is intense
ly powerful in the summer, aiul is now
blazing so fiercely as to force one to admit
the assertion the average temperature is as
high as that of Calcutta to be Tcry proba
ble. The little grass plots under these
trees are covered with neat piles of cannon
halls, mostly of small size; two obsolete
mortars—one dated 177G—are placed in
the main avenue Tents are pitched un
der the trees* and the houses arc all occu
pied by officers, who are chatting, smok
ing, and drinking at the open windows. A
number of men in semi-military dresses of
various sorts and side arms are lounging
about tlie quays and the lawns before the
houses. Into one of these I am escorted,
and find myself at a very pleasant mess,
of whom the greater number are officers of
the Zouave Corps from New Orleans—
oue, a Dane, lias served at Idstedt, Kiel,
Fredcrielistadf, another, foreigner lias
seen service in South America, another
has fought in lialfthe insurrectionary wars
in Europe. The wine is abundant, the
fare good, the laughter and talk are loud.
Ylr. Davis lias been down all day from
Montgomery, accompanied by YIrs. Davis,
Mallory, and Ylr. Wigfall, anil they all
think his presence means immediate ac
tion.
The only ship here is the shell of tho old
Fulton, which is on the stocks, but the
works of the Navy Yark are useful in
casting shot, shell, and preparing muni
tions. An aide decamp from Gen. Bragg
entered as we were sitting at table, and
invited me to attend him to the General’s
quarters. The road, as I found, was very
long and very disagreeable, owing to the
depth of the sand, into which the foot sank
at every step up to the ankle. 1‘assing
along the front of an extended row of the
clean, air}-, pretty villas inside the Navy
Yard, we passed the gate on exhibiting
our passes, and proceeded by the sea
beach, one side of which, is lined with
houses, a few yards from the surf. These
houses are all occupied by troops, or are
used as bar-rooms or magazines. At in
tervals a few guns have been placed along
the beach, covered by sand bags, para
pets, and traverses. As we toiled along
i-n the sand, tlie Aid bailed a cart, pressed
it into the service, and we continued our
journey less painfully. Suddenly a tall,
straight-backed man in a blue frockcoat,
with a star on the epaulette strap, a smart
kepi, and Dowsers with gold stripe, and
large brass spurs, rode past on a high step
ping powerful charger, followed by an or
derly. “There’s Gen. Bragg,” said his
Aid. The General turned round, reined
up, and I was presented as 1 sat in my
state chariot. The commander of ‘the
Confederated States’ Arm}’ at Pensacola,
is about 42 years of age, of a spare and
powerful frame; bis face is dark, and mark
ed with deep lines, his mouth large, and
squarely set in determined jaws, and his
eyes, sagacious, penetrating, and not by
any means unkindly, look at you, from
beetle brows, which run straight across and
sprang into a thick tuft of black hair,
which is thickest over the nose, where
natuiallyit usually leaves an intervening
space. His hair is dark, and he wears such
regulation whiskers as were the delight of
our Generals a few years ago. His man
ner is quick and frank, and his smile is
very pleasing and agreeable. Tlie Gen
eral would not bear of my continuing my
journey to his quarters in a cart, and his
orderly brought up an ambulance, drawn
by a smart pair of. inules, in which I com
pleted it satisfactorily.
The end of the journey through the
sandy plain was at hand, for in au in
closure of a high wall there stood a well-
shaded mansion, amid trees of live oak
and sycamore, with sentries at the gate
and horses held by orderlies under the
portico. Gey. Bragg received me at the
top of the steps which led to the verandah,
and after a few earnest and compliment
ary words, conducted ine to his office,
where he spoke of the contest in which lie
was to play so important a part, in terms
of unaffected earnestness. YVhy else had
he left his estates? After the Ylexican war
he had retired from the United States’
Artillery; but when his State was men
aced, he was obliged to defend her. He
was satisfied the North meant nothing but
subjugation. All he wanted was peace.
Slavery was an institution for w hich he
was nut responsible, but bis property was
guarantied to him by law, aud it consisted
of slaves. YVhy did the enemy take off
slaves from Tortngas to work for them at
Pickens? Because whites could not do
their work. It was quite impossible to
deny his earnestness, sincerity, and zeal
as lie spoke, and one could only wonder at
the difference made by the '‘stand-point”
from which the question is reviewed. Gen.
Bragg Anally, before we supped, took down
bis plans and showed me the position of
every gun in his works and all his bat
teries. He showed the greatest clearness
of unreserved openness in his communica
tions, and was anxious to point out that lie
had much greater difficulties to contend
with than Gen. Beauregard at Charleston.
The inside of Pickens is well-known to
him, as ho was stationed there the very-
first tour of duty which he had after he
left West Point. It was late at night
when I returned on one of the General’6
horses towards the Navy-yard. The or
derly who accompanied me was, he said,
a Mississippi planter, bat he had left his
<% Soldier'* Emotion in bnlllr.
Our citizen soldiers inexperienced ill tlie Rattle
field will find the most terrible moments just be
fore the combat begins. A soldier in l’t* narration
of personal adventures in tlie Mexican war. pub
lished iu “Howe’s Achievements of Americans,
gives some interesting items on this head in his
description of the battle of Palo Alto, tlie opening
battle of the war.
When all w as ready, both armies stood still for
about twenty minutes, each willing lor the other
to begin the work of death, and during this time
I did not see a single man of the enemy move ;
they stood l.kc statues.
We remained quiet with two exceptions, Gen
Taylor, followed bv his staff, rode from left to right
at a slow pace, with his leg thrown over like a
woman, and as he pas-ed each regiment, bespoke
words of encouragement. I know not what he
said to the others, but when lie came to where we
s'ood, he looked steadily at us ; I suppose, to see
what effect the novel circumstances iu which we
were placed had upon us, and, ns he gazed, he
said; “The bayonet, my hardy rocks', the bayonet
is the thing!” The other occasion was that of
Lieut. Blake,of the Engineers, who volunteered
to gallop along the enemy’s line, in front of both
armies, and count their guns ; and so close did he
go that he might have been shot a hundred times
One of the officers of the enemy, doubtless think
ing lie had some communication to make, rode out
to meet him. Blake, however paid no attention
to him, but rode on, and then returned and re
ported to Taylor.
Thus stood those two belligerent armies face to
face. What were the feelings of those thousands!
How many thoughts and fears were crowded into
those few moment*.' Look at our men! a dam-

MILITARY SURGERY..
A practical surgeon ccmmmunicates tlie fol-
DI&.
lowing .seasonable hints to army surgeons, sol-
Jiers nml sewing circles:
I/hit Is Almost good tor nothing to stop bleeding
from h sabre or gu*»sbot wound. It sticks to the
wound and has to be pul'ed out almost thread by
thread. Sponge pressed into a wound with some
irttle force is one of the best means to stop bleed
ing. Two small sponges furnished to each sol
dier would be bet’er thau a bushel of lint. Man
ufactured lint is used to spread ointment upon in
dressing stumps after amputation, wouuds of
grerU extent, «&c.; but cotton flannel is as good,
if not better, and a great deal cheaper. A rag wet
in cold water is the Ust dressing for a gun shot
or sabre wounds. Holler bandages are of scarce
ly anv u<e for tlie private soltlitr. Hear what G.
J. Guthrie, smgeon to the Duke of Wellington,
says of them :
“Aroller, as a surgical application, is useless,
if not injurious At the first and second battle ill
Portugal, every wound had a roller applied over it,
which soon became stiff', bloody and dirty. They
did no good, were cut off with scissors, and thus
rendered useless. When really wanted at a later
period they were not forthcoming.
A large “bundle” handkerchief for each soldier
is better than any roller. It should he large
enough to tie round the largest thigh and leave
plenty of slack. This can be used as a torniquet
when a wound bleeds fast. Roll up a stone (or
some bullets) in tlie middle of the handkerchief;
tie the handkerchief loosely around the limb
above the wound, so that the stone wiil lie upon
the artery, which is on the inside of the limb ex
cept’at the knee, where it is behind iu the ham;
stick the bayonet, sword or ramrod through the
slack of the handkerchief, aud twist up till the
blood stops. Hold it so till seen by the surgeon,
slackening a little from time to time if the limb is
numb. Rollers provided for hospilal use should
be made of strong, coarse cotton, full six yards,
long, without seam, and never more than two
inches and a quarter wide. A wide bandage 1ms
to he torn in two, and a part wasted. “Soft linen”
is a popular superstition. Again, sticking plaster
is more useful than bandages. Common plaster
spread in rolls of five yards is good enough for
ordinary purposes. Every regiment should have

hope of ail end of the war by a decisive battle or a
short campaign.
Another possible end of the war is one that it
may now be talked of freely, though a tew weeks
since it was impossible to mention it. We lately
published a very mild letter from a St Louis cor
respondent. suggestinga possible peace by com
promise. The Hartfoid Times copied it, and the
Hartford Courant burst like a thunder cloud on
the Times, charging them with treason, and flatly
pronouncing it to be treason in any one to propose
a compromise before we had finished the war! But
we are living in cooler times.

of such in our army.
As the two armies were facing each other, it
was remarkable to see (he coolness of our men.
there they stood, chewing hits of biscuits, and
talking about the Mexicans—some wondering if
they would fight; others allowing that they
would, and like demons, etc. I kept my eye on
the artillery ot the enemy, and happened to he
looking toward their right wing'when suddenly a
white curl ot smoke sprang up there from one of
their guns, and then I saw the dust fly some dis
tance in front, where the ball struck. Insiantly
another, and another riel* curl of smoke arose,
succeeded by a booming sound, and the shot came
crashing towards us. The enemy fired very rapid
ly; and their halls knocked tlie dust about us in
all directions—some went over our heads, others
struck the ground in front and bounded away.
Our batteries now went to work, and poured in
upon them a perfect storm of iron ; Lieut Chttich-
ill and his men began with their eighteen pound
ers, and when the first was fired, it made such a
loud report that our men gave a spontaneous shout,
which seemed to inspire us with renewed confi
dence. I could hear every word the Lieutenant
said to his men. When tlie first shot was fired,
lie watched the hall, saying, “Too high, men;
try another !"—‘ too low, men ; try again—the
third time is the charm!'’ The third shot was
fired, and I saw with my own eyes the dreadful
effect of that and the following shots. “That's it,
my boys!” shouted Churchill, jumping up two
feet; “you have them now! keep at that;” and so
they did, and every shot tore complete lanes
through the enemy’s lines ; hut they stood it man
fully. The full chorus of battle now raged :
twenty-three pieces of artillery belched forth their
iron hail.
We were ordered to lie down in the grass to
avoid the shot; this puzzled the enemy, and they
could not bring their gnns to besr upon us. making
our loss very small. Many were the narrow es
capes; one fell came within six inches of my left
side. The force of the shot was tremendous : a
horse's body was no obstacle at all; a man’s leg
was a mcie pipe stem. 1 watched tlie shot as it
struck the roots of the grass, and it was astonish-
ing how the dust flew. In about an hour the
grass caught on fire, and the clonnds of smoke
shut out the opposing armies from view. We liad
not as yet lost a man from our regiment. In the
obscurity the enemy changed their line, and the
eighteen pounders, supported by our regiment,
took a new position on a little rise ot ground. As
we moved on to the spot, a six pronnd shot carried
away the lower jaw of Capt. Page, and then teok
off a man's head on the right, as clean as with a
knife. The blood of poor Page was the first biood
I saw; he was knocked down in tho grass, and
as he endeavored to raise himself, he presented
such a ghastly spectacle that a sickly fainting
sensation came over me, and the memory of that
sight I shall carry witti me to my dying.day. A
little, later, Major Ringgold was mortally wounded
at his battery; I saw him just after it. The shot
had torn away a portion ot the flesh of his thighs:
its force was tremendous, cutting off both his pis
tols at the locks, and also the withers of his horse
—a splendid steed which was killed to relieve him
of his misery. The enemy tried hard, but with
out avail, to hit our eighteen pounders. The bat
tle continued until night put an end to the scene.
We bivouacked where we were, and laid on our
arms; wc slept, however, hut little, thinking we
might be attacked in our sleep.
The enemy had been very severely handled,
owing to the superiority of our aitillery. The
gunners went into it more like butchers than mil
itary men; each slipped off his coat, rolled up his
sleeves, and tied his suspenders around his waist;
they all wore red flannel shirts, and. theiefore,
were in uniform. To see them limbering and un
limbering, firing a lew shots, then dashing through
the smoke, and then to lire again with lightning-
like rapidity, partly hid from view by dense clouds
of smoke aud dust, w ith their dark red shirts and
naked arms, yelling at every shot they made, re
minded me of a band of demonds rather than men.

South n certain line, men flew to
arms for one view of the case—North of the liue
they were as swift and ardent on the other side—
so that within a few days the entire country was
ranged on one or the other side. Woe then to the
man who differed from his neighbors. Might
made right for a week, and North as well as South
the country was ruled by the rampant public sen
timent
The dividing line seemed dislinct and plain —
The mass ot men at the North, said, “we will up
hold the flag ” ‘The Northern sentiment was an
outburst of patriotic love for the country, the
whole country, and the flag untarnished, with
every star in it. It was no time to discuss nice
political questions. It was no time to suggest
how the trouble might have been avoided. It
v.as enough to know that the men of the Nortli
had deteimined that the threat to occupy Wash
ington should he proved an empty boast, and that
the minds of men were bent on a signal punish
ment of those who had shot down the old flag at
Sumter.
No one asked what are we fighting for—for
no one had time for discussion of questions of pol
itics.
But a change has come over all this, and the
question “What are we fighting for ?” is on the
lips of all citizens, and is answered in various
ways by men of various sentiments. There are
those who say we are lighting “to subjugate the
South,” “to abolish slavery,” “to exterminate the
rebels-” and the like. But the great body of the
North have before them an objeet which ought to
be calmly, clearly and distinctly enunciated to the
South and to the world at large. The objeet is
the preservation of the government and the Con
stitution of the* United States, and thus the pre-
aerva’ion of tlie blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity.
Al present the prevalent idea, desire, and in»
tent kin is. that this should be accomplished hy
restoring the authority of the constitutional gov
ernment over all the territory from Maine to the
Gulf, over which it has heretofore held its peace
ful and benignant sway. Whether this result can
ever he accomplished by means of war, is a ques
tion which no man fails to discuss in his secret
thoughts, and on that question many thousands of
patriotic men are now pondering with the deepest
anxiety.
It is not onr present design to discuss the ordi
nary points, w hether a conquered se«tion will ev
er be a desirable pait. of our Union, or whether,
havihg overrun the South with our soldiery, wo
can ever make it a peaceful land, or w hether the
conquering of it would after all be worth so much
to the country as one of tlie thousands of lives it
would cost; hut we desire to ask men of thought,
men of influence, citizens, nnd therefoie rulers in
America, to consider the question whether the
grand obiect may not he attained in another, a
better and a a less costly way.
We know the strength of this terrible sentiment
at tho North, “crush ihe traitors; no compromise
with treason : whip them first, and compromise
afterward.” We know that the man who to-day
dares talk of compromise, will bo branded as a
traitor hy thousands of indignant enthusiasts, but
we know also tin t there a.re thousands on thous
ands of bleeding hearts, North aud South, aching
to come together aud settle this awful quarrel ill
a friendly way.
who believes that any ainounr of physical firree
will ever prevail to make Union men out of Amer
icans who don't choose to be such! Can you
s!arve them into it? Can you light them into it?
Is there the remotest hope that a long -war will
make friends out of enemies? So long as the
Nortli stands where it stood six months ago, and
says to the South “you must yield, hack down from
all this, and give it lip, we will not give you any
excuse, any plea, any argument by which to move
your doubting friends, you must give up at once,”
— so oilgas the North maintains this ground, just
so long the war will continue. We do not believe,
if the South were successful and overran the
North with their armies, that a Northern man
would lay down his arms so long as there remained
a rock to hide behind while ho fired, or a moun
tains side from which to hurl down stones on his
foes. Nor do we believe any less: of Southern
men.
When Jackson overcame the South Carolinians
in the matter of the revenue laws, it will ho re
membered that the tariff hill was changed, and
thus an excuse was given to the rebels for laying
down their arms. Too many peisons forgot this
important part of the nullification contest.
In all wars between equal or nearly equal pow
ers, tho rule has been to ask everything, but to be
content with a small part of the demand. In all
contests the necessity of a compromise in the end
is absolute. It is not in oDe of a thousand wars
that any result is reached otherwise.
Air. Grrgorr’s View*.
- Mr. Gregory, M. P., has written a letter to the
London Times, giving reasons for wishing the
Confederate States to be recognized. We copy
the following extract:
I advocate, lastly, the recognition of the South-
ern Confederacy, because I believe in their right
to assert their independence. In spite of the let
ters of your able and most respected correspon
dent, Mr. Motley, I should have shown from the
earliest days of American independence down to
the present time, the doctrine of State Sovereign
ty has been heid hy some of the most eminent
Americans, and that, though it has been chiefly a
Southern doctrine, yet it was endeavored hy the
North to put into execution seventeen yeais ago
before South Carolina, in 1832, attempted to fol
low the example. Mr.. Motley has forgotten ap
parently the Hartford Convention in 1815, when
State rights resolutions were passed and secession
fully meditated ; he has also forgotten what oc
curred in tlie State Legislature of Massachusetts,
when one branch of the Legislature declared
Masshchusetts to be out of the Union, should
Texas be admitted into ie.
Then, as to commercial considerations. The
Moirill tariff is announcement of th breaking up
of the commercial intercourse between the United
States and Europe. It is the successful issue ol
Northern policy, against which the South has in
variably, hut in vain, protested The s* paration
nullifies that selfish, short sighted retrogade poli
cy, and the Western States ought to be thankful
for any event likely to break down a system so ui
fi-rly opposed to their interests. When the com
mercial treaty with France was discussed Iasi
year, one of the points mainly insisted on by Mr
Bright aud the advocates of this measure was
this; that evi ry order for French goods was an
additional link in that chain hy which commerce
was to hind the countries in coustant amity, and
I entirely and cordially concur with Mr. Bright
in that opinion. There are but two countries
likely to come into collision with Englaud—France
and the United States. With France we have
done our best, by means of increased commercial
intercourse, to promote aud establish peace.
Hitherto the vast mercantile transactions between
Englaud the United States have, in spite of per
petunl suojects of dispute between us, rendered
war impossible, hut a Morill tariff will soon change
this state of things.
I have here endeavored to give a sketch of the
objects I had in view in nrging the recognition of
the Southern Confederacy. I should have done
this with perfect good feeling towards the North,
and with the most hearty desire for its prosperity
I should not li«ve recommended isolated action on
the part of England, but that whatever step in
take should he, as far as possible, in conjunction
with the other great Lowers of Europe.
The misery of Coventry last winter, owing to
the change of a fashion, must warn ns of what
may happen if five millions of our fellow country-
men are thrown out of employment by the .short
supply of the raw material for our cotton mantt
factures. The revenue from tobacco is very large;
the supply may be stopped, and we may then re
gret the loss of the paper duties. There are held
hy our countrymen sixty millions sterling ol
American securities; If this war he protracted,
can they expect to receive either principal or in
terest ? And if in this particular instance we de
part from our usual practice ot recognizing as in
dependent a Slate possessing a dr. facto govern
ment and all the elements of permanency and
progress, can we suppose that Fiance will follow
our example and become dependent on England
—for such would be the case—for every pound of
cotton she requires 7 I cannot hut believe the
interests of France and England to be identical in
this American question, and that the recognition
by three two great powers of the Southern Con
federacy would cause tho war party in the North
to pause before plunging their countrymen deeper
into the sad struggle. I ain confident, however,
that when calmer rejection shall have succeeded
to that storm of passion now sweeping over the
North, the citizens of the United States will see
that those who, like myself, advocate the recog
nition of the new republic, do so not from any
hostility towards them, nor from any advocacy of
slavery, hut from love of peace and unrestricted
commerce, from horror of civil war and future
years of deadly hatred; and whatever hard words
may ho used towards us at present, I am convin
ced hereafter that we shall be considered their sin
cere friends. W. II. GREGORY’.

country fever, yelriw fever—go ahead and nmke
the war a short one. If it creeps on and keeps on,
in this petty pace, from day to day, we are lost.
New Y’ork is lost. We must conquer the South
right away—out of hand—and before Europe
We cannot hope that it will be thus settled, j wants more cotton ! Otherwise, the case is cont
rite quarrel is in the hands of public men, poli- plicated. We have Englaud and France in the
icians, who have parties to answer to—who have field, aud New York is almost at the mercy of any
T
ticians, who have parties
old convictions, notions, proclivities, pledges, by
which their course is governed—and the senti
ment of the public is ruled by newspapers in
both sections which are unscrupulous in their
zeal for fanning *be flame of war.
But thinking men are daily approaching the
question we have put. There are various possi
ble futures before us. They have been outlined
in all tlie papers. “A short and decisive war, one
tremendous campaign, crushing -tlie rebellion for
ever;” this is the favorite idea, the promise of the
indent war papers. But the prospect of such a
brief and decisive campaign appears more distant
every day. We have endeavored from time to
lime to convince onr reader* of the danger oi un
derestimating the strength and spirit of the ene
my. For this endeavor we have been charged
with sympathizing with rebellion. Because we
were unwilling to deceive onr readers into the
insane notion that tlie South meant nothing; that
they had no money, no arms, no soldiers, no
courage; that they would run away at the first
enemy strong at sea ! Go ahead, good fellows—
ravish, burn, destroy, wipe out. kill, rend, rage,
devour. Ravage Richmond, burn Charleston,
sack New Orleans ! Do you hear ? The beauty
and the booty shall he yours, only conquer these
rebels of the 8outh before the next crop com?s in
That next crop will be the death of us ! Let it
be hewn down in the fields—burnt, trampled, lost:
or, if you have the i.pportnnity, ship it to New
Y'ork. and we will build up Gotham by the prices
it must bring next season. We shall sweat the
pockets of France and Britain out ot untold mil-,„
lions, which shall all come home to us in gold.
We shall have the monoply of the home markets,
having duly subjected our vassals in the South.
Go ahead, brave fellows, Zouaves of New York,
whom we were apt to spit upon, though you do
the work at fires. Go, ahead ! Don’t ntind yel
low fever. Don’t mind black vomit. Don't
mind billions fever, or cholera, or measles, or small
pox, or hot weather, or hard living, or cold steel,
and hot-shot Go ahead 1 ”
