The Romance and the Beauty of the
American War.
Were it not that War has its romanti
side, the business of the recruit:og ser
geant in " Uncle Sam's" employ would be
almost a sinecure. It would have been
extremely amusing, had there not been a
stern reality looming up in the future, to
witness the eagerueen with which th

The romance of this war demanded th
raising of an immense army ; the sa
c reality is that taxes must be laid on to d
- fray expenses proportionate to its maga'
tude, when the work might have been ac-
complished as well by half the needier of
men. Romance demanded that the Fouth

o reality is that the 'impudent •• rebels" put

1 1 mane., taught by the Rev. Mr. Belcher
11' was, that it was a war against slavery, the
negro is now celled on to fight fur the l
Union ! Such are a few of the antitheses
presented to every mind. They are not
to be gloated over. The curtain, raised
with gladness and joy, will fall upon tears
and sighs, as it has done at the close of
every war; always so on one side, fre-
quently on Loth.

in Invention, in go-aheadativcner, in all
departments of social progress," why
should not the irrepressible Yankee wreath
his brow with the laurels of military re-
nown ? This question was eagerly asked,
and as eagerly answered. " There's noth-
ing to preveut, go a -head I" And go
ahead Young America did, not with the
plodding, obstinate preparatory work, cus-
tomary in the slower nations of Europe -
not even with the feeling that there was
much beyond a good joke in the whole af-
fair. Sated with the ordinary excite-
ment of speculation and yellow back novel -
reading, the American wind demanded a
new sensation. War supplied the meaneof
meeting that want, and hence the ease
with which the first armies were formed.
Trutnpeta clanged " to arms 1" Orators
poured out a deluge of hifalutin eloquence,
ladies smiled upon the wearers of epau-
lettes and frowned upon those who were
not willing to be led " u lambs to the
slaughter," flags fluttered and flaunted in
every breeze; the amateur bivouacs rang
with camp songs borrowed from the min-
strels of the Rhine, the Thames, and the
.Mississippi. An ardent desire to flesh
maiden steel flashed from thousands of
eyes ! We do not write in a sneering
spirit, or to blame those who were carried
away by this intense _furore. Who ootid
help it ? What man, what American
especially, with the hot blood of youth
careering through his veins, could listen to
the soul inspiring strains of " Dixie," and
move in the excitement. of the hour with-
out springing with enthusiasm into the
ranks ? There is something particularly
pleasing to human nature in the Romance
of War. The free and easy life of the
camp -the comparative absence of all so-
cial
o.
cial restraints -the conviviality -the con-
fidence inspired in each soldior by the
prerace of large bodies of strong men-
the glittering display of gaudy uniforms
and glistening bayonets --the thrilling tf
feeteof martial music, all combine to cap-
tivate the hearts of the unthinking and to
mask for the few first moments the unmit-
igated horrors of War. We repeat, that
were War stripped of all its romantic as-
meeiations and fabs glitter, fewer battles
would be fought, bemuse ?ewer men would
be resod willing to risk their seeks far
idem, or to gratify the whim of a military
leader.
