n war, and with some of the same statesmen at the helm. We stand by and fold our arms, while the great game is being played out, with an effort to arrest the tide of war or to avert its calamitous consequences. It may be too late to interfere now. The time had passed even before Mr. Seward gave our statesmen such a glorious opportunity for holding their tongues. But surely it is no great feat for our Foreign Secretary to boast of, that in the long interval between the secession of South Carolina and the first collision in the field he simply waited on events, contenting himself with the pious but somewhat selfish prayer that Providence would keep us out of the quarrel. We are bound to the Americans by the closest of ties. The advice that might have come from us would, perhaps, have been intrusive from another power.

Success has thus far attended their efforts, and brilliant audiences have listened with rapture to their sweet melody. The series of concerts will terminate to-morrow night, and the entire receipts on that occasion will be given to the First Maryland Regiment. This affords our citizens an opportunity of contributing to a cause of real benevolence, and we hope the house will be through. Such a purpose reflects the highest credit upon the company, whose mission, as we have before announced, is to raise a fund for the relief of the soldiers in our army.
