"SUPPoRTING GovERNXENr".-It has
been justly remarked that in times Of
excitement and danger, the weak, timid
and unprincipled change with an ease,
suddenness and facility disreditable to
manhood" We have u case in point.
When Gen. Fremont issued his Adolf.
ton proclamation, says Democratic ex-
change, the Republican and neutral pa
pcrs and certain emasculated Democratic
papers were prompt and eager in their
approval Of it, although it was directly
contrary TO what they had preached and
protested to be the policy Of the Govern.
ment and the purpose Of the war. 1t
virtually proclaimed the abolition afslave.
ry to be one Of the ends and objects of
the war-a purpose which the Boston
Courier declared would justify armed
resistance. A few days passed when
there came out an order from the Presi-
dent revOking the Abolition feature Of
Fremont's proclamation as contrary to
law and in violation Of the policy Of the
Government! And this pleased these very
honest supporters Of the Government"
almost as much as did the proclamation
itself! Truly, it requires wonderful "a
cility at twisting and turning, and great
proficiency at aground and lofty tumb-
ling" to be an approved supporter of
the Government" in these days! A gum
elastic conscience is all that is necessary.

The parasites Of the Administration,
with unwearied industry, heap unDeas-
ured oblOquy upon the advocates Of peace.
As it is safe and profitable for them to do
so in these exciting times, and as their
SAadsrs are perfectly harmless, being
UNDECIDED by intelligent and respectable
people, who dcspise Shiny reptiles who
flourish by detraction, we shall not quar-
rel with them for earning their bread by
such questionable means. 1t is reasonable
to presume that they find the employment
congen;al to their taste, education and
nature.
These fellows solemnly declare that the
opponents Of the administration desire
"Peace on any terms" If there be any
such "peace men" we do not know them,
nor do We believe that . single advocate
Of peace desires it on any other than hon
Orablc terms. But we take it these pa.
pers, to use the forcible language Of the
New Hampshire Patriot, "in their sneer-
ing aud vrtuOus rebuke Of what they call
peace men, mean those who desire peace
upon any terms Hhieh shaU prcserre tile
Government, maintain the ConstitutiOn,
and restOre the Union. We confess that
We are peace men in this sense, ard no
other; and We presume the same is true
Of the mass Of Democrats everywhere !;
while the larger portion Of our political
opponents desire no such result and would
abandon their support Of the war to-day
if they supposed such were to be its re-
suits II the war is prosecuted for these
great ends alone, and they cannot be other.
~ise attained, then it is indeed patriotic
aud holy war but il it is not prosecuted
for these purposes, then it is an atrOcious
and criminal war. Mr.. Lincoln seems to
be honestly DESTROYS Of directing it to
these great patriotic ends, but the larger
portion of his supporters-taiented and
active and influential supporters-inclu.
ding certain nominal Democrats, approve
of and applaud every step and measure
calculated to divert it to the unholy and
Infamous purposes Of AbOlitionism-thus
showing that they are dishonest and by
pocritical in their representations of the
true objects Of the war. Thus they were
delighted with Fremont's Abolition proc
lnmation, and greatly chaSrined at the
Presidents revocation ofits Abolition feat.
urc. 1t is to be expected that these folks
will denounce as traitors all who desire
peace through restored Union, and the
Constitution maintained in its ancient in.
tegrity; but this is what the people want,
and they hold him as . traitor who
would prosecute the-waF Tor any other
purpose" Who objects to peace on terms
(which shall preserve the Government,
maintain the Constitution, and restore the
Union? The Democracy Of California
are in favor Of peace on such terms, and
before the next election the conservative
men Of al parties will indorsc their course

every morning, without either salera-

must decide about the thickness Of the

if too thick, the cakes will be rather

The Expenses of the War on Both Sides

From the Savanna (Ga,) Republican, Nov S.
The expenses of the Confederate States
during the last six months are acllnowl-
edged to be fifty millions of dollars, and
the war expenses Of the United States for
the same period, are acknowledged to be
two hundred millions Of dollars. The
number Of men slain in battle, in the ff-
teen or twenty actions, great ana small,
that have taken place between the two
belligerents since the war opened in the
taking Of Fort Sumter, cannot be easily
estimated, but, as near as we can learn, il
is in the proportion of about one to five,
and may he set down in round numbers
at 1000 Coniederates and l0. 600 Federals.
This shows that every Federal killed by
us has cost the Confederate government
5000, and that every Southern er killed
in battle has cost the Federal government
the round sum of 100000. The Southern
States can raise about one m ilion and
half Of fghting men. 10 kill off these at
the above rate and killing is probably
the only way in which they can be sub
dued-will cost the Federal government
one hloiired and ffty thousand niillions Of dot
lars! Would it not be cheaper. as well
as more humane, in Mr.. Lincoln and his
Cabinet. to make arrangements for trying
to buy US ont.
