ver Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania. But while parliament was becoming daily more favorable to the proposition, Gettysburg was lost! The force of events and the dictates of prudence turned the tide so that Giadstone himself mournfully made this decisive utterance in parliament: It is not that I think the war is waged on the part of the North for any adequate or worthy object that I would venture to deprecate the adoption of the motion of the honorable gentleman (Roebuck). I fear it is running the risk of making that worse which is already and sufficiently horrible; of causing other feuds and quarrels that may carry still further desolation over the face of the earth. The last thought of intervention was banished from the councils of that great power. General Lord Wolseley, in a eulogy on Lee, has written: The desperate, though drawn battle of Gettysburg was the death-knell of Southern independence. But the conflict went on. Blood continued to flow, even more freely than before.
