multitudes of good and honorable men become enrolled in the contends conten contending df n g armies of the present american war some to gratify a martial pride and others through a conscientious love of their country indeed various are the motives and inducements that impel men to expose themselves upon the field of batte battle but a portion of those who va are peaceably disposed and wish net pt to witness the shedding of the bloed bleed ot of their cou countrymen men make inake good their escape from the vicinity of trouble it is chiefly this class of men who are now passing through this

sentiment and patriotism for home and country Is worthy of a place in the bosoms of the greatest and best of mankind but bub I 1 cannot see that we do homage to these holy principles by vy selling our ir produce to the passing stranger for less than its actual cost coat to us Z and be he ia is as well satisfied to pay a reason reasonable atle agle and fair price for what he buys from us as to
