This war, from its inception to this hour, reflects no honor upon the country, except the skill, bravery, and noble bearing of the gallant general and the army under his command. War is the exercise of a most fearful power; always bringing in its train the most direful consequences, costing millions of money and rivers of blood, and spreading abroad a demoralizing influence that years will not overcome. 1 will not attempt a description of the horrors which follow in its train; it is the most di...reful of all calamities that can befal both the victors and the vanquished; it brings curses upon both, commensurate with the base and wicked passions which it engenders, and ours is the country in which a maximum of these evils must be felt. We have no excess of population. Our soldiers are the farmers, mechanics, and laborers of the country, engaged in times of peace in the various pur suits of the land. What will be the condition of those who return and are disbanded injured in morals, in health, as well as in capacity to return to their former pursuits.
