How L.OIIJ? Will Tills War Lanff
Th's is a question no doubt many
have been asking themselves, but very
iw have given themselves a satisfactory'
solution to that enquiry. Mr. Lin
coln says it will last until these that bc
g in it will lay down their arms and sue
for peace. When will the Southern peo
ple do this ? When will they e ubmit to
Lave their most eminent citizens banged
and the rest disfranchised ? '1 bey know
well the fate that awaits them if they
submit. They may have had little or no
cause for commencing the war, but our
worthy President has iven them cause
enough for continuing it- They know
that if they are subdued, their property
will be confiscated and divided among
their masters. That their towns will be
all either burned or garrisoned by their
slaves who will be put oVer them as their
rmvtcrs. That their lioeities would be
that of the Poles or the Irish, and their
social condition that of Hayti or Liberia
Such being the fate that they know awaits
them, they will never lay down their
arms, no, never! They will lay down
their lives first. They are not a craven
but a magnanimous people. Wo as a
people would do the same thing were we
fituated as they are, we Would avert the
fate that awaits them, or die tning to
avert it. Had we carried on this war
un '.er the Constitution, instead of outside
of it, had wc carried it on according to
t ie Ct itten Ion resolutions, we might
have now ben basking in the sunhine of
a glorious peace and a restored Union, iu
etea 1 of being the objects of the scorn
and contempt of the nations of the earth.
Lincoln disregarded his oath of olfioe and
yielded to the pressure fro. 11 New Kng
lan 1, an 1 we nu.-t -nlIor the pressure of
conscription, war, and taxation, until we
finally have to yield also. This war will
then last while there is any resources in
the North to carry it on. The favorites
of the administration must all make pri
vate arrangements to perjietuate its power.
The negroes must all be placed in a politi
cal and social equality with the whites
When all this is done, and the resources
of the North completely exhausted, when
the last man and the last dollar that can
be grabbed by this administration are
gone, then indeed, it may not to treusop
to talk of peace. Previous to that tim--,
let no man lay the flittering unction to
his soul, that there will be any cessation
of hostilities. When this time mav nr
rive lies hidden in the dim vista of futu
rity, and we cannot yet get a glimpse at
it The war may not last over four years
or it may last for forty, it depends on the

1 're is n, lonjier any doubt that the
Lutch Gap canal is a failure. 1 lie re
cent attempt by the explosion of a mine
to blow tli end out of it, did more harm
than good. The entire length of the canal
is live hundred and twenty-two feet, it is
cut through a ver high bank, and at the
top the excavation is one hundred and
twenty-two feet wide. The cxi-avaiiun
gradually nairuws as it goes down, at the
t'p tf the canal it is sixty feet wide, at
the bottom forty feet. At high water the
,aunl is sixteen feet deep The canal was
dug by hand and by dredging machines,
excepting a high bulkhead of earth, litly
feet l),iek, whieh was left standing at the
northern end to keep the water out and
also to act as a protection against Con
federate shells. In the middle of the canal
there was another bulkhead ot'asiiuiar
character. This bulkhead was blown out
on December bib, by a mine explosion,
which was a success. The canal was
thus completed, excepting the removal of
the bulkhead at the end. The Confede
rates, during all the time the labor has
lieeii going on, have kept up a vigor
ous shel ing. Nearly a thousand Fed
eral soldiers have been killed and
wounded by the ir shells. Ten dredging
machines h ive, one alter another, Ihhii
smashed to pieces, and dredging was liual-
,y Sil);mtlint.(. The explosion .m Sunday
iasi ,-ousuine.i c-igiuy tnousainl poumls ot
powder. 'i ho bulkhead was blown up
into the air, but foil back into its original
position, and no connection between the
canal and liver was secured. The explo
sion did harm. It filled up a large por
tion of the canal that had Ihvii excavated,
and by Severing the high bulkhead that
previously kept on the Confederate shells,
it made the canal from one end to the
other subject to bombardment. Now, no
one can labor anywhere near it without
provoking a storm of slit 11. There is but
little doubt that the woik will be aban
doned. The expedition which was sent by Gen.
Sherman lo the Altainaha river, south
west of Savannah, has returned. It
marched lo the liver, but finding huge
swamps, garrisoned at many plac s by
Confederate works, no attempt was made
to go any faither. The expedition de
stroyed the Savannah, Albany and Gull
railroad, from the Ogooehee to the Alta
hatna, a distance of alout forty miles.

is tantamount to a recognition of Confed
