Proposals for Restoration voted
Down.

1t should be the aim Of every good citizen to
end this exhausting and unnatural war as speedily
as possible upon Just and honorable terms. Every
proposition looking to that result should have
encouragement and support from those who have
the true interests Of the country at heart. 1t is
evident from the proceedings in Con-
gress thus far that the radicals do not
desire peace upon any other terms than
the ascenlency of their policy and peculiar ideas
in the administration of the Government. With
them the issue is emancipation, a vigorous
prosecution of the war to accomplish that end
regardless of It's effect upon either the white or
black races. While we may not approve of all
the propositions in Congress looking to the resto-
ration Of peace and the Union. yet every
movement intended to bring the war to
a termination upon that basis should be
received with favor by all who deserve to
promote the welfare of the country and
maintain Republican institutions. In this con-
necton a contemporary forcibly remarks that 1.-The
Republicans. by their solid the resolutions
of Mr.. WooD, have placed themselves in a clear
ly defined position. The country will not fail to
understand what it means, when every Republi
can vote was cast against a proposition to en-
deavor to establish peace on the basis of reconcile
alton under the old laws, and with all the rights
belonging to the States under the old Union.
1t is to be observed that there is not in these
resolutions the slightest hint at recognition
Of the Confederacy. separation of the territory
Of our country; but the proposition was for nego-
tiation. to the end that the Union be restored
upon terms Of equity. fraternity and equality, un-
der The Constitution This the Republicans
have declared, by their votes. they opposed to.
They have voted that they don't want the Union
restored-they don't want equity-they don't
want fraternty-they don't want equality-and
they don't want the Constitution; therefore they
do desire dsuuion. injustice. fraternal hate inc
quality and Constitution. Is il possible, after
such a declaration, they can, heretofore, deny
or pervert these sentimentsf"

The Cost of Charleston and RICH
mOnd.

We have always been of the opinion that an
hundred weight of iron expended ON a railroad
was worth millions of times the same weight OF
the same metal used up in forty Founders We
should like to have an inquiry started in the next
Congress, to prove what weight of metal has
been used against Charleston and the forts in the
vicinage- We understand that the powder. ball
and shell alone have cost seven million, while the
expenses of the different expeditions have ex.
ceeded thirty. This is precious little item as
the cost Of taking one city-we beg
pardon-we meant TO say attempting 10
take one city. The probabilities are that the cost
will be doubled. and then they will lave to aban-
don it. And yet the poor, deluded, blinded
people. who are ultimately to pay all this debt,
look on in n sort OF stupor at the immense prepa-
rations, aud throw up their hats when they hear
of the vigorous sheIlng of Charleston, although
they will have to down with the dust some day,
to pay for it all. 1t is all dance now, the piper
has not vet passed round the hat. And then, TOO,
what has been the cost OF attempting to take Rich
mond? Several hundreds of millions, enough, if
expended, 10 build half dozen cities of the
rize, and almost many lives lost would
populate the whole of them. And so the war
runs on, aud this monstrous debt runs on with it,
eating up the resources of the country, mortgage
ing its lands. destroying the flower of its youth.
demoral'zing and emasculatiDg its people
Douglas Jerrold used to say that "the shirt OF
Nessus shirt not paid for" and If this war
debt does not prove shirt of Nessus to US aud
orr posterity, il will be becaase an indignant
and crushed people will rice and throw
off the incubus, will not put il
on to burn and scorch their vi
tails. The delusion OF this people con-
corning the condition of the finances of
this country Is most marvellous, and that charla-
tan Chase, by his tricks and impostures, seems
still to deceive them He points to the signs OF
prosperity everywhere, when he knows that they
are entirely celusive. The whitened crust gIeam-
ing in the sunshine that covers the living FIRE in
Solfatara, Is not more treacherous. The slopes
