e courage and fortitude of the army, sustained by the patriotism and firmness of the people."No one doubts the "courage and fortitude" of those men who, for four long years, have been confronting danger, death and every human privation. General Lee may rely upon them while one of their honest hearts continues to beat. Will not "the people" show equal "patriotism and firmness" with their defenders? Will they desert the men who have so long stood between them and ruin like a wall of fire? Lincoln has appeared in person on the scene to show the most timed and ignoble that there is no way of earthly salvation left open to them but through the gate of War. No exhortations are now needed to loyalty and courage. But we may be permitted to remind every citizen that he has a duty to perform not less important than that of bearing arms. If he is not required to shoulder his musket, he is under solemn obligations to give his whole moral weight and such material aid as he can render to

y Christian minister. Polygamy flourished luxuriantly. The Bishop mentions instances where several sisters were the wives of one man. In one case, a mother and two daughters enjoyed that honor. Under these circumstances, the Mormons have no reason to complain of the United States people, who have no hide-bound notions in religion or morals, and are more tolerant to unbelievers and polygamists than to men of their own faith who have only one wife, but many bales of cotton. Possibly Mr. Lincoln meant no offence in failing to give expression in his last message to the national sentiment of respect and esteem for Utah. He is too much occupied in putting to the sword his fellow-Christians of the South to bestow the proper civilities upon that imperium imperio near the Salt Lake, where concubinage has become a part of the organic law, and no slaves are permitted save the female victims of Mormon lords. Abraham the first, unlike his patriarchal namesake, devotes his destructive en

A Kick for McClellan. --The Count of Paris, who served on McClellan's staff, in a letter to Mr. F. M. Edge, of London, criticises McClellan's military policy, as well as his great mistake in leading the political movement of last fall. The Count adds that his entire sympathies were with Mr. Lincoln before the election, and that he bitterly regrets the fatal lack of energy and of moral courage displayed by McClellan in the Peninsula campaign.

The news. South Carolina--Charleston. On last Thursday night, the 16th instant, our forces evacuated Charleston, and it is believed that the enemy took possession during the next day. Many guns must have been abandoned by our troops, but it is consoling to know that the Yankees got little else. There was no cotton at Charleston to gladden Lincoln's heart, and the city itself was little better than a deserted ruin. Several telegraph operators, all of them men of Northern birth, did not come out with our forces, but remained to receive the Yankees. The evacuation of Charleston should rather inspire cheerfulness than gloom. Sherman can only be checked by an immediate concentration in his front of all our troops, both in North and South Carolina. If this is done, he may be defeated and his present expedition broken up. If he is not defeated, he will march straight up the railroad to Charlotte, thence to Salisbury, thence to Greensboro' and Danville, and so on to Richmon

ted States has been the voting down, by large majorities, all resolutions proposing an amicable settlement of existing difficulties; and whereas, the President has communicated to this House that, in the same spirit of conciliation and peace, he recently sent Vice-President Stephens, Senator Hunter and Judge Campbell to hold conference with such persons as the Government of the United States might designate to meet them; and whereas, those eminent citizens, after a full conference with President Lincoln and Secretary Seward, have reported that they were informed explicitly that the authorities of the United States would hold no negotiation with the Confederate States, or any of them separately; that no terms except such as a conqueror grants to the subjugated would be extended to the people of these States, and that the subversion of our institutions and the complete submission to their rule was the only condition of peace; therefore.
