which DO not belong TO them. When the day

THE BATTLE RECORD, SO FAR.-A gentleman
in Lansing, Michigan, who has kept As accurate
an account possible, estimates that, of thirty
three battles and more important skirmishes
since the war began, the Union men have been
victorious in twenty-five, the rebels in five,
claim victory. The number of prisoners Ia
ken by the Unionists is about 5000, and by the
rebels not quite so many. Of the killed it is
impossible to obtain anything like an accurate
knowledge of the losses of the rebels The
Union loss is something over one thousand, and
the rebel loss is believed to be twice that mum.

Thurlow Weed is forced by the developments
of the Lttlejohn VS.. Greeley libel suit, TO make
some explanations Of the habits of the New
York politicians in raising and expanding mo
ney to control elections. He admits that he has
been engaged in raising money by the sale of
legislation, for the purpose of carrying on pc.
litcal campaigns He says:
Obnoxious as the admission is to just sense
of right aud to a better condition OF political
ethics, We stand SO far impeached We would
have preferred not to disclose to public view the
financial history of political life, nor should the
Tribune have constrained such dsclosures.-
Public men know much of what the rest of man
kind is ignorant. IF we have sinned in this
way, Mr.. Greeley ought not to ''cast the first
stone" He has not always been fastidious in
the use Of money at elections or in legislation.
He knows how much it cost, and out of whose
pockets the money came, to elect Speaker in
Congress. He knows how he expected to be
reimbursed; he knows for what purpose thou
sand dollar check was handed to him.
Mr.. Weed further confesses that which will
make the honest people Of the rural districts
stare:
Painful US the confession is we are bound in
truth and from knowledge to say, that James
Buchanan was elected President, and this great
and then happy and glorious republic ruined,
simply because Messrs. Wendell, Forney and
Belmont raised $4,000 more money to be ex.
pended in Pennsylvania than Wn'. A. Hall,
Truman Smith, and the writer of this article,
could procure for the same purpose.
