Government hate, bv combination or otherwise pre-
vented or defeated attempted to prevent or defeat
the execution of any laws low upon the statute book

compel the execution Of any law thereof and that said
committee shall investigate and inquire ntodhe abuses
at the Chicago or other post Offices and at the Pha-

How MANY SoLDIERs OF THE REyoLUTIoS STILL
SuRyyB 1.-THE departure Of the future King OF
Great Britain for our shores called forth from all
the leading English journals an unusual number Of
illusions to the United States. The Saturday Re-
view has the finest article on the subject Strictly
speaking, this fresh and vigorous weekly is ncor-
rect when it says, in regard to our separation from
England, that the utmost period of human life has
more than elapsed since that fatal QUARREL and the
list man ic6o fought in the acar of Independence,
on either side, has long 6esn an his grare." How
many soldiers who fought on the English side
still survive, we haze no means of knowing; but
We may approximately state the number Of our,
relics of the men who fought in the greatest war
$50 far results concerped of the 18th century
According to the last report Of the Secretary of the
Interior, there were on the 30th of june 1865 two
hundred and fifty-three revolutionary pensioners.
Between that time and the end Of the last fiscal
year, (June 80, 1852 revolutionary soldier was
inscribed upon the rolls at $50 per annum. Then
we should have. if no deaths had occurred, on the
LIST OF July, 1859 no less than 254 survivors who
bore their part either for longer or for shorter
time, in our war of independence But death deals
suddenly and frequently with men so aged, and
therefore we find that SO of them (more than one
third died in the twelve months elapsing between
July '5S and July so. There were then on July
1st 1859, but 165 living, and probably to-day there
are not 100, all told.
Men who are now in the period of robust man.
hood, can remember Ill their abOyhood days that
revolutionary soldiers were even then old men. If
we consider the battle of Lexington, april 10,
1775) the Inauguration Of our war of Independence
more than eighty five years have elapsed since the
minute men " Of Lexington were ordered by Maj
Pitcairn to 'disperse" 1t is not probable that one
of those minute men was then less than twenty one
years of age. There is, believe, no survivor of
that battle, or skirmsh, which proved so fatal TO
the expedition under Pitcairn. Hon. Edward Ey-
eret in his polished eloquent and forcible Grafton
at Boston on the Fourth of July this year, stated
that not single American soldier who took part in
the memorable battle of Bunker Hill was still liv-
ing; but it appears that two old men have been
found in New England more than one hundred gears
old, who were upon the rolls of that gallant band
which uuder Warren, Prescott, and "Old Put"
gave the British such disastrous victory. On the
10th of April, 17S3 just after the bloodshed at
Lexington, the news of peace reached Washington's
headquarters at Newburgh. This was more than
n years ago; and the rawest recruit or drummer
boy, who might have been fifteen years Of age would
now be more than nnety-two Five years more

GENTLEMEN when the interest of the common

in promoting that unity of action without which the
best intentions nothing, and the most energetic
movements serve only to disorganize. We an asso-
citation of Union-ovipg, practical men, brought to-
getber by sense Of common danger, are anxious to
impress upon felow-citizens through you, their
representatives, the fact that ain union there is
strength !" great truth, on conviction of which
our national prosperity is based and Of which the
wisest of our statesmen seem for the past year to
have entirely lost sight.
So powerful are the combinations of the Republic
cans at the North, unyielding and defiant is the
attitude of the extreme disunionsts at the South,
that If the Empire State, whose word is law where
she presents an unbroken 'front.' does not now give
an example of selfdenial and compromise, she will
again be open to the charge of having in q moment
of passion betrayed those interests Of which, from her
position, politically geographically and socially she
may be said to hold the balance of power

The KENTUCKY ELECTION election of Leslie
Coombs in Kentucky, over which the Douglasites
are now rejoicing, affords test whatever of the
relative strength of Bell and Breckenridge in that
State. While he polled the whole Union vote,
together with many Douglasites who voted for him
to defeat the Democratic candidate he also received
the votes of thousands of Others who voted for him
for other reasons. Gen Coombs is an old man,
nearly eighty years of age; he is personally very
popular, being beloved by all for many noble traits
Of character, and he has become bankrupt in fortune
by his liberality and public spirited disposition
The people felt that he had been reduced to poverty
by his services to his State, and through sympathy
they voted to give him a lucrative Office that he
might have comfortable support in his declining
years. Hence it is that he carried many of the
strongest Democratic counties by large majorities
The charge made by the I. Republican" that the
Kentucky election demonstrates the weakness of
Breckinrgde, is simply ridiculous. If Breckinridge
is weak in Kentucky, will the Republican inform
US on what it bases the strength Of Douglas, whose
candidate did not receive one-fourth as many votes
as the Democratic candidate 2-.St louis Bulletin
