The American people are at last awaking to the magnitude of the exigency. The nature of this contest, its bearings and itswecessitiss, are beginning to be comprehended. Men and wo men have come at last to see that the age is destined to stand out in bold relief against the ages which form its background. They are preparing to yield to the pressure of necessity, to the extraordinary demands of the times.— For three years the world has looked upon this nation conducting the most stupendous war of recorded time,.and still increasing in material prosperity. The demand for labor was never more imperious. The wages of labor were ne ver better. The products of industry were ne ver invited to a better market. Nevertheless, our vision his not been clear touching the na ture and result of the contest. Wa have given judgment on ex parte testimony, and have hot looked the issues in the face. But now there are indications of favorable change. Congress is rising to the level of the occasion. Our public men are acknowledging, publicly and officially, what they have from the beginning known to be true —that the burden of this war must fall upon. the wealth of the country.. They have framed a tax bill, which, it is believed, will raise about one-half of our current expenses. They have framed a-bill to establish a uniform currency, based upon the public indebtedness. They have enacted a law amendatory of the tariff, which must operate to -check importations and throw ns back npon our ample resources. All these acts show conclu sively that we are about to grasp hold of the means of self-preservation, and hold them until ws are saved—we and our children. Bat this is not all. The women of our great cities—or a'notable band of women in each city —are now forming “ home leagues,” with the purpose of checking all extravagance of living. They ask all American women, who have the good of the republic at heart, to join with them in discouraging the consumption of foreign lux uries of dress and ornament. It is to be hoped that their sisters in’the country will form branch leagues, end co-operate with them in the fullest degree. Next to the great charities of the times •—the Sanitary and Christian Commissions— these associations for the suppression of extra vagance should receive the hearty countenance of all. Who does not feel a glow of pride at the rehearsal of-the sacrifices so cheerfully made by the men and women of the Revolu tion T Who does not know that the unparal leled splendor of that time of trial, radiates from the heroic self-denial of the fathers and mothers of the Republic, as from a central sun ? it was the lesson presented to every one of us in our cradles. The grandeur of the Revela tion was more owing to its heroism than to its result. ■ - . It lies with the men and women of this time to render it as lustrous as was that. If we are meanly selfish, then .future generations will deny their ancestry. If we fail to live worthily, they shall say—“ Better they had never lived at all 1” But that bitter speech must be fore stalled and made impossible. Hare the men and women of this trial-time the sterling love of co.umry which can successfully compete with that which rendered the revolutionary age so glorions ? Let us answer that question by a full and hearty response to the appeal of tbe loyal women of tbe land. ) It ie a little sacrifice—this laying off the ■costly fabrics woven in foreign looms, and sub stituting tbe better ones which fall from our own. Let the silk-worms and the lace-weavers 1 of the old world have a holiday. What sensi ble husband will not more esteem and love his wife in plain cotton print, than in costly silks, satins and laces f What true wife will think less of her husband in sheep’s grey than in broadcloth from French looms? We may now leqrn how much of love, esteem, admiration, and deference, belongs to the man, and how .much to the tailor. It is>time some of these husks we» stripped from pretension, and a rev elation made of the real, the solid, the true. And it is time men and women gave some sign of tbe. depth of their patriotism; Sacri fice is tbe measure of that love as well as of all other loves. If we are willing to eschew lux ury, that the arm of power may be strength ened, then we shall unite with these projectors of Home Leagues, I and give a reason for the faith within us. M. H. C. Washington, May 2,1864. There are signs of-preparation for a great battle visible cn every hand. Long trains of ambulances, carrying the sick and disabled, have been coming into tho city from the front, for several days. The hospitals are likewise getting ready to accommodate new-comers, The often passing by of artillery trains, the constant pressfng forward of troops to the front, the strict surveillance which rules travel, and the Clearing out of*soldiers doing light duty in tbe hospitals—all these things have a deep sig nificance to those who have watched the pro gress and phenomena of war for these last three years. There are also other indications of work ahead, which may not be interpreted into lan guage. Then, without doubt, the campaign 'of. 1864 is about to open ; and the thunder of cannon will, ere many days, reverberate over the wastes of Virginia, and awake the sleeping echoes of war even in the capital. The result, of course wc can only predict in the light of faith and hope. The shock wilt be between veteran ar mies, led by men of acknowledged talent in the M, H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. WEttSBOKODGH, PENN’As editorial coheespowdekcb Washington, April 30, ISG4. THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. I art of war. Both leaders are men with pres tige. The struggle must, be sharp, but long, i bloody, and decisive as to those armies. I do ! not suppose this Is to be the lest battle of the I war. When I look about me, and observe how little progress we have made in the way of re forming abuses; how little we have learned in the trying school of national adversity; how proudly and defiantly bad men walk and sit in high place*;'when I look about me and observe these things, I am not sanguinely expectant of a sudden ending of this contest. The struggle is by no means of the ordinary character. Not only is the majesty of law and order to be vin dicated, but the greater majesty of public vir tue is to be acknowledged and adored. lie is to be pitied who can see nothing higher in the object of this war than the expiation of the one great crime of human bondage. The ,rascali ties of Floyd and others were bat the scanty outcrop of a stupendous underlying moral rot tenness. The villainies which sicken us now, as they come to the light, are but the scanty overplus of crime nurtured at the bosom of power for half-a-oentury. This war came not alone to strike off the fetters of the black and, white, imposed by southern aristocrats,' but to lead this nation, out of the bondage of shame which it bad endured for so many years. The stables are not yet purified. The discipline must go on until, the. purgation sbaU ba com plete. Individuals bare become better for tbe chas tening. In bo far, there is progress. But the nation, apart from its growth in generosity, evinced in the establishment. and maintenance of great charities, has not much advanced.— There are tbe same old jealousies, and selfish ness, working out in, and marring the other wise fair record of passing events.' Men are not intent, altogether, upon tbe re-habilitation of the nation, but much more upon personal success. It is the same old and mortifying story —men quarrel because there is not a king, dam for each man. But this will be changed—all in dne-time, and through due process of growth. We must he patient. Radical changes in character never happen in a day. They are the offspring of long years of varied and often painful experi ence. We are casting tbe old skin of national vice, and shall, at some time, appear in a garb and character from which the best and purest of men will net turn with disgust and shame, Tbe American people must take the lesson of patience ho no to their hearts. If every man and woman will but do his and her duty in the present moment, tbe future will take care of itself. We cannot hasten the progress of the world by grumbling. It is enough :tbat success is certain, and that its coming is onjya question of time and earnest effort. GREAT BATTLE OS FRIDAY. YICTQEY OF GENERAL GRAFT, A disp-itch from the Secretary of War, dated May Btb, to Gen. Dij, New York, says, “we have no official reports from the front, but the Medical Director has notified the Surgeon Gen al that our wounded were being sent to AVnsh ington, and will number from 6,000 to 8,000.’' The enemy’s strength has always been most felt in bis first blows, and their having failed, and our forces not only having maintained their ground, but preparing to advance, lead to the hope of full and complete success; for when either party fails, disorganization by straggling and desertion commences. 1 A dispatch frpm Gen. Butler, just received, and which left him yesterday, states that a di version bad been made by his forces on the rail road between Petersburg and Richmond, and had succeeded in destroying a bortion of it, so as to break tho connection ; that there had been some severe fighting, hut that he had succeed ed. He heard from a rebel deserter that Hun ter was dangerously wounded ; Pickett, also ; and Jones and Jenkins were killed. The situation of tbe armies under Grant and Lee may be thus epitomized; On Thursday the Army of tbe Potomac sus tained successfully a fierce attack from tbe bulk of Lee’s army. On Friday we made the attack, drove them for some distance, took all their severely woun ded prisoners, and won an indecisive victory. On Saturday there was no fighting, and’Lee was believed to he retiring. Official Dispatch Jrom the Secretary of War. . . ..Washington, May 9—10:45 a. m, Major-General Dix: We have intelligence this morning by scouts direct from the army! as late ns Saturday eren ing, but no official reports. Thp general result may’ he stated as a suc cess to our arms. I deeply regret to say that the country will have to mourn the death of that accomplished soldier, Brigadier-General Wadsworth, who was struck in the forehead by a ball,’at the head of his command, while leading them against one of the enemy’s strongest positions. Gen. Webb was wounded. ■ Gen. Jones, of the Rebel.army, was killed. The condition of oar army is represented" to be most admirable. Their cool determined courage has in every instance proved too much for the desperate fury of the Rebels, who have been driven at all points. - At the latest accounts Hancock was pushing forward rapidly by thoi left to Spoltsvlvnnia Court House, and yesterday heavy cannonading was beard from that direction until 3 o’clock. We have lost some prisoners. One regiment, the 7th Pennsylvania Reserves, charged thro'’ on abattis of the enemy, but were unable to get back, and most of them were captured. We have.also taken a large number of.prisoners, supposed to.be more than we lost. The wounded had not yet arrived at the point where the trains were to receive them. The Medical Director reports that a large "propor tion were slight wounds. V Artillery was not used on either side the first two days. Washington, May 9,1I ; 30 A. M. This Department has just received from Gen. Butler the official report of Gen. Lee of the op erations of Friday. He says their loss in killed is not large, bnt they have many wounded. He grieves to announce that Gen. Longstreet was severely wounded, Gen. Jenkins killed, and Gen. Pegraro badly wounded on Thursday, and that it it supposed Geo. Pegram will recover. Ho thanks a merciful God that every advance on their (Gen. Grant's) part has been repulsed. He stales that bur forces attacked them and caused some confusion; The belief here is that Gen. Grant is achiev ing a complete victory. EDWIN M. STANTON. Gen. Beauregard is in command of the Rebel forces at Petersburg and Richmond, Reports from Chattanooga, dated May 7th, say thar General Sherman was then at Tunnel Hill, the enemy at Buzzard Roost Gap,, The Republican says: As wo go to press, news reached the Government that Sherman is fighting bis way through Tunnel Hill success fully, and is pressing upon Dalton, the enemy falling back, leaving his dead and wounded in our bands. If any American citizen still doubts how he ought to vote on a constitutional amend | ment to abolish slavery, or on what side ho ‘ ought to cast bis influence, he cannot do so bet • jter than to follow the course which Washing ton marked out for himself when ho wrote to Robert Morris, April 12, 1786: ‘There is not , ,j& man giving who wishes more sincerely than I , do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of shivery ; hut there is only one proper and ef fectualmode by which it can be accomplished, and that is by legislative authority ; and this, bo far as my suffrages will go, shall not be want ing." . , Kolicc tu Bridge Builders.
