are to be met and decided in the momentous issue of Peace or War. A voice from Boston. A Boston correspondent writes to the Baltimore Exchange: Battles have been fought and lost. Change has followed change. All these have had their influence here among the Yankees, and no doubt with you. Here, one can talk more freely, and the public will hear more will jingly. Many who were honestly acting heart and hand with this administration are now stopping to discuss the whereabouts of the Constitution and constitutional guarantees under "honest Abe." In fine, intelligent men with us are opening their eyes, and a good many proudly swear they hope "Jefferson Davis will take Washington, drive out the Abolitionists and reconstruct the Government." Depend upon it, matters can't go on till Jan. 1st as they have gone with us since May 1, without an outbreak.--It may be I am mistaken, but I don't believe I am. Business dull. We are all ruined and sinking deeper every day.

Roman had a Brutus, must not the United States have become more degenerate than Rome if no Brutus arises to thrust the dagger in this tyrant's heart?
