DEAR herald: We know everything
thing in this life by contrast. 1t is by the
contrast of light with darkness, of pleas
ure with pain, of joy with sorrow, of
health with sickness, Of the sweets of life
with the bitter, that each is respectively
and the more emphaticaLy known. And
it seems if the rebels of the seceeded
States would but candidly consider their
present condition with its prospects, and
would contrast it with their condition be-
fore they made their plunge into the mael-
strom of secession, the consideration would
chow them with emphasis, how rhey
have missed the figure III their rebel
lious course themselves, Instead of a
united North to oppose them they fancied
US in dissenting factions, debating as to
the sOoy Of compromising with them, for
they did not think we should be uami-
nous in making the sword our orbitsr.-
They did not paint in their imaginations
their whole territory surrounded by free
men ready to battle for the right or their
scaportS closed to commerce aud menaced
by squadrons ready to meet out justice to
the rebeIlious cities upon their coaSts.-
While they were rejoicing over their Sc
cession ordinances, and ilumining their
public and private buildings in honor of
their rebel acts, little did they think that
Justice trod close upon the heels Of wick
edness. The loud Wanting of their lead
ers must soon give way to the cry that the
notes of this triumph . are but the pre-
lude to a general song of victory in which
every division of our army shall present
ly join. From our extended and careful
preparations we may inly congratulate
ourselves that our CAUSE will not suffer de-
feat, that our Union will not be shattered,
and that the hope Of humanity will not be
suhjugated in US. 2,

CONFEDERATE FINANCES.

The editor Of the Norfolk Day Book is
great on finance. He says the great pre-
MUM offered for gold in the seeded States
is not to be taken as evidence of a correspond
ing depreciation in the value of Confederate
paper currency. lie says the premium re-
suits from tue fact that the brokers are buy
ing up the gold wherewith to procure certain
articles which are contraband Of war, as
quin,ne, silk, &c., &c., and which gold alone
will purchase " across the Potomac" These
contraband articles the brokers sell at great
advance and so get back the premiums
they pay - in Conf derate shinplasters.
This may be good thing for the " brokers
for the time being, but how will il operate
upon those who are not engaged in this spec
ula'ion to be told that he Confederate States
ave being drained of what gold and silver
they have, and that the brokers arc the only
ones getting rich by the exchange, taking
their profits out of the very people whom
they have Induced to part with their specie
at a premium for Confederate papers "That
little game of brag" will hardly do Any
fool can detect the falicy.

OUR HOME CORRESPONDENCE.
Letter from Middietown,
Middletowu, Jan. "a, l

Mlddletowu, Jan. "a, 1862.
EDITOR OF HERALD A soldier from
Middletown recently died in the army. His
name was Robert Park, son of Robert
Park, Esq, of Wells, Vt. His friends in NJ.
would be pleased with an obituary notice IN
the Herald.
He was young man of about 25 years
of age, well educated, had good habits and
a good moral character. He had lived in
Middletown about three years, and had bee
constantly gaining in the good will and affec-
tons of our people. lie died with!the mea-
sizes at or near Arlington Heights. His re-
mains were sent home and inferred at Wells,
his native town. Although his residence in
Middletown was comparatively short, yet
scarcely young man in our town would be
more lamented. He was sanguine and I'M
compromising democrat, ard no less so in his
devotion to ihe Union; an only son, too, of a
democrat, vino bears the loss like a man who
is willing even to surrender the last hopes of
his declining years for his country.

Zach. Chandler, the demagogue Sena-
tor from Michigan, who for years has la
bored for the alienation of North and
South, and now advocates policy which
will lead to their separation, has been vot
ed out of the Senate by the Michigan
Legislature, and Mr.. Howard, a more
conservative politician of the republican
school elected in his place. ''The coun-
try needs blood-letting," was the senti-
ment of Mr.. Chandler, months before Sc
cession had assumed its present aspect,
and his political blood is now shed. So
goes one of them. Who goes next ?--B
T. Argus e.r ., ..a.~i =
The Argus is mistaken in two things,
Isl, Zach. Chandler has not been "voted
out Of the Senate by the Michigan Leg
islature. He is still Senator ard his time
will not expire until the fourth Of March
1868. Mr.. Howard was elected to fill
the unexpired term of Senator Bingham,
deceased ID, Mr.. Howard is moi "a
more conservative politician of the Re
publican school, than Mr.. Chandler
They were both Clay Wings, and on the
formation of the Republican party, they
acted in conjunction in the leadership of
that movement in the State OF Michigan
together with Gov. Wisner. The Argus
condemns the declaration of Mr.. Chand-
Ter that the country needed blood-lettmg"
months before secession had assumed IFS
present aspect. We heartily agree with
Mr.. Chandler. Had Buchanan let some
.blood" at Charleston, when rebellion was
first threatened, secession would never
have come TO a head. a. little "blood-
letting" then, from the small blood-vessels
of the country, would have saved the ne
cessity of now drawing it from the large
arteries. r3A 4

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

We have Gen. Thomas official report of the
Somerset battle 1t is very brief, and contains few
facts in addition to what we had previously known.
He regards the victory as of the greatest i'm
portance, and looks forward to most valuable
results from it. Our loss was 80 killed and
$50 wounded; among the latter was Col. Nc
Cook of tue 9th Ohio, who was badly, though
not dangerously, hurt. The enemy lost ia
killed, ll6 wounded, 45 prisoners. We gained
an immense quantity of stores and some fine
artillery, beside 100 four-horse wagons, and
200 horses and mules. The loyal Tennesseeans
are raid to have fought with the ierocity OF
tigers, taking ono battery at the point of the
bayOnet.
The general order from the War Depart

.rCusLATIvE BROKERAGE.

Our renders were yesterday favored, as ne
had feared they never would be, with the sub
stance of the testimony some months since
elected before the Grand Jury Of Albany
County touching certain questionable operations
in and about our last Legislature involving
considerable transfers of money. Nobody will
accuse Mr.. Frederick s. LittlejObn of being a
swift witness in the premises; aud yet bis tes'
timony that "the 81 200 check was given to
"Mr. Hastings Hugh of The Albany Kn'eh-
L" erJocker1 to use his influence as lobbyist"
that $500 was paid to Geo. w. Bull lof Buf-
falo] " for using his influence as lobbyist

H. II. Coates for lobbying" &C., &C., are
quite conclusive as to one branch of the gen
eral subject. The number of persons favored
with these golden compliments is not clearly
stated; but Cashier Van Antwerp of the New.
York State Bank testifes to the following
checks drawn on his bank by Mr.. William
Baldwin of Oswego, who seems to have offici-
ated as Secretary of the Treasury to the enter
prise of fastening our City Post-Oiiice to the
most inconvenient and inaccessible location on
the island of Manhattan: viz:

Park We say it can be--in the Park, il
that be insisted on; beside it at all events.
His assumption is entirely at variance with
facts.
We see, moreover, from his incautious re-
marks, that the money was sent to Albany to
buy legislation. There is no shadow of mis-
take about it. Had "legtimate and proper "
influence with the Legislature been desired,
some such man as William NJ. Evarts, w.
Curtis Noyes, d. Dudley Field, James I.
Brady, Moses II. Grinuell, Charles II. Mar
shall, or Mr.. Phelps himself, would have been
sent up to explain the bill and urge its pas
sage. But no--a very different sort of work
was in hand, requiring very different agents
such as L. B. Sessions +. S. LittlejOhn, Hugh
Hastings, and Geo. w. Bull. Can you imagine
that the People do not understand
