This war is working great changes in public sentiment. As an example we give the following extract from a private letter written by a dis- tinguished Judge, whe has always been a demo- crat.

“ This is no longer a war_to restore the Union as it was. It isa war to thake the Union what it never was, but what it ought te be. I would ‘not make war to end slavery; but slavery having made war, I would put down the rebellion, aud it slavery falls, as fall it must, let it fall. The great bloody monster will die bard, and in bis death-struggle he will devour whole armies of de- voted men. The struggle is far from over yet.— Slavery is the most cementing power that ever ex- isted on this continent. The firmest bond of union, its enchantment is of bell and its poweris beyond belief. It enchains the poor and rich in every State. It hates liberty, intelligence and progress. Its arrogance, malignity and cruelty have no hounds. It is a terrible power, in terrible earnest. | It will fight to the death. It will not yield uatil it is thoroughly conquered, and conquer it we shall, if we are not degraded sons of noble sires. The country must remain one, and the South must be conquered ; it will take time and blood and money; but by far the cheapest mode of set- tlement is by conquest; any other settlement en-
