EE A carefully prepared statistical
table shows that the number of white
men in the loyal States and Territories
able to bear arms is four million four hun
dred and sixty three THOUSAND, and that
the number of white mon in the field and

Territories is but FIVE hundred and thirty
nine thousand eight hundred. These
facts make it plain that the government

sOFTENING DOWN.

The Tuscola Pioneer, which since our ac-
quaintance Herewith has been politically
q Radical Republican sheet of the "most
straightost sect,' seems of late to enter
tain far more rational views than we hrd
reason to expect, in regard TO the con-
duct of tho war. 1t deprscates enamel
patton, for which act alone, which "shines
like good deed in naughty world, y
il is entitled to tho credit Of being right
for once, at least. 1t says in late arti-
Gle, and says truly, that this war was
" declared for an express purpose--tho
"dofense of our Government Under tho
" present Consultation /" and il rejoices
that it has seen nothing on the part OF
the Executive that indicates any change
in reference to the object to be accom-
plished. We reproduce the extract in
which this sentiment is expressed
When the Rebellion broke out war
was declared Tor an express ob]ect-the
defense Of our Government unde, the
present Constitution. To this end a
vast army was called into the field, and
although the course pursued by the rebels
may have forced upon the Executive the
necessity of increasing that army, Of
adopting more stringent measures, yet
we have seen nothing on his part that
indicates any change in reference to the
object to be accomplished, and we rejoice
that it is so.
IL is urged by many that this should
be made war of emancipation. While
we deprecate slavery as much as any
other man, and should rejoice as heartily
at it's overthrow, we do not consider that
man wise who will insist upon this change.

THE MEssAGK.-Wo publish the Mes
sage of President Lincoln this week, not
so much as a matter of news as for the
purpose of placing it on file for future
reference. 1t is we'll worded document,
sufficiently explicit on matters of small
import, but vague and unsatisfactory on
the main question. In rhis respect. like
ono Of Stewards political speeches, il
means everything, anything or nothing,
as circumstances may require. A refer
ence to his inaugural address and prior
message does not help the matter, fol
they were understood in as many differ
ent ways as is the present message. II
is diplomatic rather than statesmanlike,
and shows a want of courage which dis
pleases everybody. 1t has none Of th'
"Old Hickory" ring, and dissipates mos
effectually the claims once set up for 1t

EFFECTS OF THE SToRM.-At about six
O'Clock yesterday afternoon a severe storm
passed over this place, killing one man, and
doing much damage to property. The fol-
lowing are the particulars, so far as we we're
able TO learn them:
The Presbyterian Church on Madison
street, near York, was blown down, aud is a
complete ruin. About ten minutes before the
storm, sixty or seventy children, attending a
school, were in the building, but had been
dismissed by the teacher, on noticing the
tn eatening appearance of the clouds.
The rear end of Colonel Smalley's new
building, on York-street, between Bellevue
and Madison, was blown out; also the
gable end of DR.. Tyler's drug store, situated
on the corner of Bellevue and York.
Several chimpeJs, in various parts of the
city were blown down. The Bell and
Everett pole, standing near the ferry-land-
ing, was broken off. The roof of the Art
Palace was blown off, and the upper portion,
occupied as a job printing room, was moved
from its place. The loss was probably $500.
The cabin of the GnciARGi Belle was raised
so that several of the stanchions fell out.
Captain Air, in coming down to the landing
was struck by some Of the flying missiles,
but rot seriously injured.
Sam. Barry, a deck. hand on the ferry.
boat, was struck by a portion of the Art
Palace, and Instantly killed. He was an
old citizen Of Newport and leaves a wife aud
children.
1t was rumored that the roof of the
Catholic Church, three miles up the Licking.
was blown of.
COMMONWEALTH AsE.-Yesterday, Antoine
Fritsch sued a German Benevolent Society
of this city for the amount of the fund due
him during seven weeks sickness. Esquire
Payne, before whom the suit was brought,
gave him ajudgmeut for $2l.

POLICE CoURT.-Fred. Strickler, charged
with grand larceny, was held over in the sum
of 81, 900 for his appearance On Thursday.
In the case o fHenry Swartz, for obtaining
money under false pretenses, in Kentucky,
a nOlle was entered, the matter having
already come before the higher courts.
Chas. Wagner, for petty larceny, was held
over in the sum of $500 till Thursday.
Geo. Mozel, for assault and battery, was
fined SO and costs.
Mike Ochsler and Chas. Donahue were
sent up for thirty days, on a charge of dis
orderly conduct.
Ann Baker, for d~isorderly conduct, was
sent up for sixty days.
John ShofRer, hitherto regarded as a
respectable citizen of the Sixteenth Ward,
was held over in the sum of $500 for his ap-
pearance in the Court Of Common Pleas, for
breaking into Knights meat-storea and steal
ing a nam He was arrested in the act.
George Bell, for disorderly conduct, was
sent up for thirty days.
All the other cases disposed of were of an
%unimportant character.

HEAVY AND SUCCESSFUL FoRGERY.-A few
days since a man, who gave his name as
Whitney, came to this city and stopped at
the Walnut street House, representing him
self as an agent for a New York house, and
by his business manner soon made a num-
Der of acquaintance among our merchants,
to whom he represented that he had several
drafts, which he wished to get cashed, and
requested them TO introduce him, so that he
might have no difficulty offering, at the
ssme time, as an evidence of his good faith,
to deposit with them $500, which he had just
drawn from DunleVy & Co.
The apparent candor of Whitney disarmed
all suspicion, and his request was accordingly
granted, and he succeeded in getting $3.50
from various banking-houses in the city yes
teIday. In the meantime, suspicion had
been aroused against him, and a n officer
sent TO the W~alnut-street House, but he was
not there. His carpet-sack was seized, and
in it was found a large number of blank
checks and notes, evidently intended to be
filed out when occasion required.
The money paid by Dunlevy Il Co. was
returned to them, but the remainder he sue
ceeded in carrying away.

BUSINESS MEN's PRAYER. MEETING. - The
prayer-meeting at Smith & Nixon's Hall,
yesterday morning, was not very largely at
tended, owing to the inclemency of the
weather.
The widow of a clergyman sent in a re-
quest for the prayers of the congregation
for the conversion of her two sons. They
were remembered, during the meeting, in
many ferVent petitions to the throne Of
grace.
One speaker, referring to the remarks of
one preceding, in which he had used the
words, Hooking unto Jesus" described the
influence which it had upon his feelings
opening to his view a vision of heavenly
felicity. He wondered how men could be
so forgetful as they often were, and look to-
ward earthly things, when they might be
feastinE the soul upon celestial glOries
Another spoke of the answers which they
had received to their prayers, and Of the
evidences Of Gods presence.

Additional Monetary.

Yesterdays Democrat says of Mondays
st. Louis Money matters: q
Money matters remain about the same az
yesterday, and Exchange stands firm to-day
at 3 per cent. premium for Missouri Cor.
reDcy. Currency is still abundant, and firm
at l@1K discount. There is no special de-
mand for Uncurrent Money, though Brokers
buy all that offer at current rates. As far as
we can discover, the feeling is very general
that the difficult point 10 financial matters is
passed, ard there remains but a firm course
to be pursued on the part Of those most at.
fected by sudden changes, to make matters
work smoothly henceforward. ,
The New Orleans Bank statement for the
past week shows the following changes, as
compared with the preYious return.
