The Spirit of the Enemy.
This is a war of ea.«rainat oa. Tne order of Grant
to 8harldan, ex rented by thit officer with remoreelff t
seventy, was not wanting to convtnoe up that the ob
jeot of oar enemy is to extirpato the inhabitants of ths
Confederate's .ates, and to aeula up the country with
Yankees and negroes Tha whole course of the wart
especially since the E nancipition Proclamation of Lin
coln, been incontestable testimony to thedecign, which
m further strengthened by .ha rtV,*l»iiont ot uie North
era press and the utteracore of every man connected
with the party now paramount in urn.country, who his
addressed the public since that event. Tne Tautest
are peculiarly sensitivr to the opinion of the world, and
it was to L-flumoo that opm.on and to ja*ufy the fore

The LoutaviUo Journal of tho 28 th ult. oontaina a
letter from John (4. Davie, of Indiana, in which the
people of the United States are admonished that in
vasion is not conquest, and that though every oity of
the South should fall into the hands of the invader, it
would not follow that tha war would cease or the ca
pacity of the Sunt i to wage it be materially diminished:
•* for," obaervee he, with a sound ounoluiiou on an im
probable hypothesis, “ when you have driven L.o ont
ot R oomood, as yon have driven H >od oat of Allnnta
—captured Augusta, Macon, Montgomery—taken Mo
bile, and lorocd the grand armies of the South to units,
you will still have that great territory wed of the Mia
iiesippi to clear, and this slons is a taah tqual to the
last three years work." Upon theos ideas Mr. Davis
thinks it would be wise to ofTar some terms to the South
ern Slates to iudass them to eater s convention of the
S.ates. “ in the event of such a general Oongrees."
-ays be, “there is a great reason to hope that the good
sense of both pasties would be able to reach aoms wise,
patriotic and happy oonsummation.”
