TIE COST OF WAR.

Petty politicians talk about involving the
people of the United States in war, jus, as
lift werean affair Of "a few days continu-
ance aud of inconsiIerable moment. Be-
fore the Mexican war was begun, these men
talked the same way. They said it would
be but mornings business to whip Mex.
leo ond plant the stars ard stripes upon the
Halls Of the Montezumas. Tho war came,
and thgmen who talked lcudcst were very
carefuldo leave oil the fighting to be done
by others. Some of them who obtained fat,
offices even hacked out and c,me home hes
fore the end of the first campo ign. "Nnw,
it is stated upon good authority. that inclu
ding The indemnify paid to Mexico. tlIn'
war will cost the Union the enormous sum
o: Sl5l OBS. 1853 65!! Besides which we
have the following statistics Of the loss of
human life in the war: The number OF
deaths returned by the officers Of the army
is l2,s75; 0.740 were discharged Itr disa'
bili,y, Of whom at least half have died, say
4,S4l; 1920 men were mustered into ser.
vice during the war, and 5O,573 were musl
tered out; Of the residue, amounting to %, =
6S7, 20,072 were returned as dead, dis
ch'r.rd, rr dried. aud the difference, g..
6l5. are suppOsed.to be dead; Of those mus
tered out Of service, II is estimated that ten
! per cent, or STA have since died; thus
making in the aggregate loss Of 25.4sl
lives through this war"
The same men are now attempting 10
dissolve this glorious Union and produce
a civil war between the Norsh aud South
We trust that the property holders Of the
country will pause before they rush madl,
upon such ruin. Men may talk gliby a.
bout conquering California, about seizne
the mouth of the Mississippi and levyinl
contributions upon trade. They may tall
as they please about things. but they may
rest assured that the first gun fred will b'
the death knell, not only Of our Liberties
bu, Of every imporlan, property interest o
the whole country. Eight Hundred mil
lions Of Money and half million Of ku'
man lives will not foot the account-,o say
} nothing Of the rapine, the robbery, the cor
lrup,ion and the crime which will follow.
Let the good and rejecting hesitate be
foro they rush upon such dire destruction
, Let them remember the sad inherits nc,
which they are about to leave to their son

New DAGUERREcTYrE Discovery

New DAGUERRECTYrE Discovery.
THE Boston Transcript is response.
bic for the announcement that Mr..
Howes,a daguerreotypist Of that city,
has discovered a process by which
an ordinary sized daguerreotype min.
iatufc can be magniIied TO life size,
or larger, if necessary, and thrown
upon a canvass or any flat surface,
retaining at the same time all the
clearness and detail of the dagIerreo-
type, so that an artist may sit himself
before this magnificd reflection and
render it a perfect copy, in light and
shade, as well as outline, of the origi-
nal. This discovery will facilitate
the work Of the portrait painter, and
save a large amount of time consumed
in sitting.
