iment, in New York, as a hospital nurse." In Maine it appears that the more moderate Republicans are beginning to realize that war can never save the Union. A young lady of this city, said to a young Wide-A wake who was gassing about the righteous cause of the war, "Then you have an opportunity to prove your righteousness which you may never enjoy again, by going to it." The Independent Republican, published at St. Glairsville, Ohio, recommends Beecher to preach a sermon to Lincoln from the following text: Gen. XIII, 8, 9: "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we be brethren. Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me." The Democratic papers denounce in severest terms Gen. Harney's letter in relation to the Legislature of Missouri. They think that when a General of the U.

It has been given out repeatedly of late by the Lincoln press that Gen. Scott desired to delay an advance till cool weather and till his army was fully organized. But they could not brook the wise delay recommended by the only General in their ranks that deserves the name, and the Republican papers at Washington pronounced Scott behind the times.

r went at a trot toward Pennsylvania. Whether Captain Jones should have waited till the Virginians got a little nearer, and should have tried to ascertain the precise number of the force, is a question that concerns him and his Government. We only know that he left in a hurry, and that he and his command are now thirsting for the blood of the rebels.

They might have described the brave little army passing triumphantly through an unarmed country
