the time when the President recommended - =
increase of the army to four hundred thousand
men, and an appropriation of four hundred mil
lions of dollars, Congress- with apparent alac-
rity, voted the necessity of five hundred thou
sand men, and five hundred millions of dollars
There were then, however, but three hundred
and ten thousand men in the field appropria-
.tions were only made on the basis of that num-
be, of troops, and no increased amount of
mone,- has been voted since. Now although,
in the ,.est report of the Secretary of War,
there are 81 id to be six hundred and forty thou
sand men in the field, the real number under
pay by the country is close upon seven hundred
thousand. Thus there are three hundred and
ninety thousand men unprovided for, and on
the basis of hundred millions of dollars for
every hundred thousand, three hundred and
ninety millions of dollars more ought to be in
stantly voted, in order to put things on proper
footing. Mr. Chase, who is of course bound to
confine his demands within the limits of Con-
gressonal legislation, asks for provision to meet
the wants of an army of only five hundred thou
sand troops; but this is far from sufficient. II
is the duty of Congress to legalize the enlist
ment of the whole seven hundred thousand sg
gregate and to appropriate seven hundred mil
lions of dollars for their maintenance Unless
this is done the most serious embarrassments
must soon encompass our authorities, and the
lethargy and want of patriotism of Congressional
agitators will tend to neutralize the efforts Of
the valiant armies which under the leadership
of General Mcclellan, supported by such heroes
as Buell., Halleck, Burnside, Thomas, Sohoepf
and others, have begun to strike terrible blows
at the very heart Of the rebellion.

the spirited battles and sieges in Missouri. The
affair at Cape Hatteras was brilliant coup; but
it effected only the suppression of nest of pri-
vateers and contraband traders. The victory
at Port Royal was followed by much greater
advantages over the enemy but even these
failed to produce any perceptible impression
upon the rebel camp at Manassas.
But this affair at Somerset in breaking the
rebel defensive line, will be felt from Memphis
to Manassas, and thence to New Orleans. We
suspect, too, that before the end of the week we
ton as will convince both Davis, at Richmond,
and Beauregard at Centreville, that, while they
have formidable enemy in 'front.' their imme-
diate danger is from the rear-the dan
ger which menaces the seizure of
their communications, railways and tele-
graphs with the rebel States. The
magnificent military programme of General Nc
Clsllan is now beginning to develope itself
The main body of the rebel army is at Manassas.
Drive it away, and leave the South open before
it, and we may have to fight it from Richmond
to New Orleans; but let it be bagged, and there

comprehend this idea of bagging his game; and
hence, we infer, that significant remark of his
some time ago, that "this war will be short, sharp
and desperate" and that the success of our
cause is inevitable.
The ships of General Burnside's expedition
are reported by the rebels as having assembled
at Hatteras Inlet This was on the 10th. At
any moment, therefore, we may expect to hear
of a terrible rattling among the dry bones Of
the rebels in Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds

in Kentucky, which will make fearful sensa-
tion at Richmond 1t has taken some time to
raise, arm, equip, organize and distribute the
immense land and naval forces which we have
now in motion against this rebellion, around q
seacoast and inland base line of twenty-five
hundred miles in extent; but, being in motion,
the first battle strongly foreshadows the general
result, from the superior arms and fighting spirit
of our troops, and the evidently dispirited and
demoralized condition of the rebels. Just as
we are beginning to develope our strength they
are at the turning point of exhaustion.
We fall back upon our old prediction, that
there will be an end Of this rebellion before the

DAILY average increase. Zo,6I5
This exhibit we have published, for the benefit
of the advertising public, in the columns of all
the other leading journals Of this city. The
bills from these papers for single publication
of the above advertisement amounted to about
sixty or seventy dollars. Now, the same adver-
tisement, If published in the HERALD, would
have cost just ten dollars; and as the daily cir
culation of the HERALD exceeds that of all the
other daily papers combined, the advertisement
would have had larger amount of circulation
and greater publicity; for the HERALD ave-
RACES five readers to each paper, and none of its
contemporaries has this advantage Upon such
an advertisement, therefore, advertisers would
save from fifty to sixty dollars, and gain
greater publicity, by patronizing the HERALD
exclusively. In effect, also, many of those who
subscribe for other papers are reached by a
HERALD advertisement; for almost all persons
who take another daily paper read the HERALD
also. 1t is thus demonstrated that, both in
economy and publicity in advertising, the HERALD
maintains its superiority ouer not only any other
daily paper in this city, ba also ouer all the other
daily papers in the city combined.

tous, malignant and impertinent remarks upon

iterates its offers to bet with us. The bets it
offers are gambling bets, adroitly devised, and
their character may be judged from the fact that
they begin by bet of $3.50 that the HERALD's
daily circulation is not 1876 900. Now, we never
lo:, osr ,1otso lo
but only that, upon one occasion, 1t reached
that immense number. What our presses daily
throw off the above figures show; and,
though our books prove these figures to be cor
rect, yet the Times processes to doubt them,
and declares them "designedly framed to mis-
lead the public" The Times knows our aver
sion to betting; but if we were to allow our
selves to be tempted for once, we would wager
one thousand dollars Isl, 1,00O) that the above
statement of the number of sheets worked Is pre-
cisely correct-the winner to pay the amount of
the wager to q society for the relief of volun-
teer soldiers families. The Times, or any other
paper which doubts the accuracy of our state
ment, may take this for bet IL it pleases, and
we will put up the money Immediately.
We have followed the Scriptural injunction,
to "answer not fool according to his folly, lest
20 be like him." quite long enough, and find
our forbearance Intellectual. Now we shall try
the other rule of Scripture, to "answer a fool
according to his folly, lest he be wise in
his own conceit"-and there is our statement,
and one thousand dollars to back it. Come,
Messleurs, if you are for fair betting you shall
have enough of it.

The Battle Of Somerset-The Most Import
ant Victory OF che War.

ant Victory OF the War.
The additional details which we publish to-
day confirm our first reports of the complete
ness Of the victory of our gallant troops over
the rebels, near Somerset, Kentucky. We are
thus free to declare that, considering the spe-
cifc objects which brought these opposing
forces into collision, and the immense advan-
tages gained by the successful party, local and
general in reference to the active prosecution
of the war, this victory at Somerset is more i'm
portant than anything else which has yet been
achieved in the field towards the suppression of
this great rebellion.
First, it cuts the inland defensive line Of the
enemy-cuts it in two, and makes an opening
through which our forces on the ground may
pass into East Tennessee and occupy those i'm
portant railway and telegraphic communica-
tons between the rebel government and the
rebel army in Virginia and their confederates,
supplies and reinforcements of the Southwestern
States. Thus our army, from Somerset, is now
in position to march forward and completely
separate the rebels in Virginia from the rebels
Of the Southwest and to liberats in East Ten
nessee, and all that surrounding mountainous
region, hun dred thousand loyal Union men.
Secondly, through this opening General Buell.
may move up into the rear Of Richmond, or
over into South or North Carolina, in co-opera-
ton with our seaboard land and water forces.
Thirdly, the local advantages gained by this
Somerset victory comprehend the control Of
the nsighboring GOAL mines and salt springs,
the navigation Of the Cumberland river down
to Nashville, and easier work than we should
otherwise have had before us in the reduction
Of the rebel camps at Bowling Green, Colum-
bus, Nashville and Memphis
Such are the practical advantages secured by
this victory at Somerset, in addition to its moral
prestige at home and abroad. In this compre-
bensive view we may truly say that this victory
ia greater in its results than any other has been,
on either side, since the beginning of this war.
The battle of Bull run amounted to nothing be-
yond its moral effect in the South in the en-
| couragement Of the rebels, and its moral effect
in the North in dissipatng the illusion that the
rebels were not in earnest. The battles of
General Mcclellan and General Rosecrans in
Western Virginia, though decisive, were local
| in ther results; aud the same may be said Of

SLvoarsREss OF CoNGREss-WANr OF IMME-
date FINANCIAL LEGIsLATIoN.-It is becoming
more apparent every day, that, while the Presi-
dent, Commander-in-C Chief of the federal army,
most of the members of the Cabinet, and the
greater part of the executive officers connected
with the government, are straining every nerve
to prosecute the war with vigor, and crush out
rebellion in the course of the coming spring,
there exists factious body of selfish, disorgan-
izing abolitionists in Congress who are deter
mined to throw every obstacle in the way Of a
successful issue to the conflict in which the
country is engaged. The national treasury is
so depleted that IL is becoming impossible to
pay the most ordinary demands upon it, and, in

Mrs. Tyler have become known to the public
from their connection with their fathers ad-
ministration. The ex-President subsided, after
his marriage into comparative retirement, and
became O roadmaster in Virginia. He was
then thrown up among the old fossils which
this rebellion has disinterred; aided in carrying
Eastern Virginia out Of the Union, in the
State Convention, and as one of the Oldest of
old fogies, was elected President of the Peace
Convention, held at Washington. In the State
Convention Mr. Tyler might have exerted q
strong influence towards keeping Virginia true
to her loyalty; but in the Peace Convention
abolitionism and ultra secessionism rendered
him powerless, and he only served as blind
shield for the rebel commissioners.
Here Mr.. Tyler's record ceases; for we do not
care to follow himdnto the darkness of rebellion
or detail his participation in the rebel Congress
He had proved false to his country when all
other means of notoriety failed him, and when
he lacked the courage to become illustrious
