Southern States sufferers, since .most of the
warfare has been' waged upon'their own soil.
A far large proportion of theii,populatierr have
been engaged 'in' military . service,; than'' of the,
northern people. The bloCkade.hue 'subjected
them to great privations. ' But 'the Northern.
States have also had their share of misery and
privatien. The war hai'not only :been

buta wasting calamity, Vast
numbers haye entered the army . for the simple.
purpose'of the subsistenceof • themselves, and
their families.'. The - derangement of all branch:
es of business, the obstruction 01 'the channels
of trade; and the advance in the.prices of goods,
have brought anxiety and want to thousands •
of bouseholds...The future is full of portentonas

The buiden.of taxes seems destined to bear.

the faintest , outline of• the efforts of the' war
'raging between .the North-and South.
Tins warfare has been attended by' many ;
ex

rences not justified by the rulers of civiliztfd.
warfare--many- 7 -very many pf 'these. are •oilly
fit to -.be 'characterized. as robberies, arsoni

'head of each orgabigation appear s • to be under
the control of a.spirit of . vindietiveness; far in ..
excess of that.of the.people -whom he professes
to -lead.' .The "second Washington"- of -the
North, and... the oieconct Washington" of the •
South, seems to lie alike 'st rangers to the blond
