EDITORIAL COLUMN.
"And now we'll raise, on LIBERTY's broad base, A structure of wise government, and show In our new world, a glorious spectacle Of social order. Freemen, equals all,
By reason swayed, self governed, self-improved, And the electrie chain of public good Twined round the private happiness of cach ; And every beart thrilled by the patriot chord That sounds the glory of AMERICA !"
At any cost, the UNITED STATES SHALL LIVE. This is the stern resolve of the American people, emphatically uttered on the 8th of November. In re-electing Abraham Lincoln, they do not af- firm unqualified approval of all acts of his ad- ministration, but as between the policy of vigo- rons war and an equivocal poliey, promising the dangerous experiment of parley with armed trai- tors, -- they have deliberately chosen and irrevo- cably committed themselves to that of vigorous war-vigorous war for four years, unless rebels in arms sooner submit to the just constitutional anthority which they have defied.
Ilaving settled the National policy for four years, they are now ready to work, and all bu-i- uess will accommodate itself to the weeds of the case.
The publishers of the WAR RECORD, in the spirit of the times, wish to do a eng. prompt, cash busi- ness. We have sent bills to all our subscribers who have not forwarded the second year's sub- scription. We trust that they will appreciate the importance of attending to the matter speedily, and pardon our urgency.
Prompt response by our many kind and patri- and also to know our exact list of subscribers. su as to avoid waste from excess, or inconvenience from an in-nfficient edition.
We shall endeavor in each successive number,
and thus, at the earliest possible , date, finish our important work.
GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT .- We cannot re-

local papers of the State, which have so gener- ou-ly, without remuneration, recommended our undertaking and encouraged us by kind words of commendation. We heartily wish them deserved prosperity, and hope for opportunity to requite their favors.
THE 28TH REGIMENT .- The communication of "III.DEDORO," is received and gratefully accepted, but too late for insertion in the Dec. number. We hope that he will send a sketch of the 28th, at Port Hudson, so that both ean be printed in the January issue.
COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AND FINANCE .- Education in our country, is daily becoming more practical. It is very gratifying to note the growth of in- stitutions for actual Business Training. They afford the skill and experience, without the risks of business itself.
A College of Business and Finance has been re- cently established in New Haven, by Messrs. Stevens and Wells. They have hired spacious rooms beneath Music Hall, and fitted them up magnificently. Ilere the pupil finds a Custom House, Banks, Insurance, Railroad, Steamboat, Express, Exchange and Collection, Telegraph and Post Ofhees, all in actual operation. Ile learns by regular business transactions, exactly how to repeat the same in responsible life.
It is well worth the time and effort it will eost any one to look at these neat, well planned rooms, already nearly filled with quiet, busy, interested pupils. There is a feeling of reality and a busi- ness air pervading the very room, which seems to impart animation and enthusiasm to the students. We trust that hundreds will this winter avail themselves of these superior advantages to ac- quire business education and habits.
Many anticipate terrible financial crisis. There will be " tight times," because a nation, as an in- dividual, who, for a considerable period, spends For full particulars send for a circular to C. R. WELLS, Secretary, New Haven, Conn. more than it earns, will inevitably he pinched. But a "crash" is not imminent. It has been just the time to pay debts. Almost every body has improved it. And when few owe money, few can fail from inability to pay. Almost every firm now does a cash business, and never, we veuture ! welcome it heartily. Even the opponents of Mr. to assert, was business in a healthier eoudition than to-day.

Is Stuttering a Disability ?
A drafted man elaimed exemption because he stuttered.
"Stutter," replied the officer, "you don't go to talk, but to fight."
" Yes, but they 'Il p-p-put me on g.g.guard, and a man can go h.h.half a mile before I can say ' Wh-wh-who goes there ?'"

From the President's Pricate Secretary. The superb engravings have been received. They will be most highly prized not only for the absolute fidelity of the likeness, but for their spirit and grace, and exquisite finish.

From the New York Tribune.
The likeneves are literally perfect, and the fineness of the engraving certainly not excelled. Considering the maguificence of the work, they are sold very low.

THE SOLDIER'S MEMORIAL,
Or Illuminated Discharge Paper.
This beautiful specimen of art is offered to the soldiers of our country as an appropriate memento for the perpetuation to posterity of the record of their valor and patriotism.
The design is purely national and military, with- ont any reference to men or politics.
The base of the picture is composed of rich orna- mented seroll work, interspersed with fruits nnd flowers, forming a beautiful entablature, upon which stand four splendid allegorical figures representing PEACE and WAR, LIBERTY and JUSTICE, with their emblems.
At the bottom, in a medallion surrounded by a galaxy of stars, one for each State, appears FAME crowning the faithful soldier.
In the centre is n blank form of discharge, to be filled up with name and regiment, and space to record the engagements in which the soldier hns participated, with the proper signatures.
The whole is surmounted by the American Eagle resting upon n rock, amid banners, shields, trophies, &c. ; constituting a parlor ornament at once honor- able and benutiful.
The picture is illuminated in brilliant colors and for sale at the office of the CONN. WAR RECORD, New Haven, Conn.

but time and opportunity to develop those clements in their fullest power and beauty.
Born in Hartford, Feb. 4th, 1839, in a home of refinement, he was trained un- der the choicest of New England's social and christian influences. Even as a child he attracted marked attention from his sweetness of face and manners, and from his evident purity of heart and innate strength of mental and moral character. Fitting for college at the Hartford Iligh School, he entered Yale in the au- tuinn of 1856. In College he was known as a thorough scholar, a perfect gentle- man, a consistent christian. No man of his class was more highly esteemed or more truly beloved. Of splendid physi- eal development, he took pleasure in the sports of the gymnasium and in the ex- citement of boating.
