"1hat one half of the world cannot imagine
how the oiher half live" is no less true than
triie; and the lesson the atlage affords, our ex-
perence and observation daly tends to verify.
Then, too when we consider the ever varying
phasts Of human passio and the di.cordant
elements from which all novel and ianatcal
sects are moulded, it can scarcely seem sur
prising that II faithful record of actual events

A few weeks ago VIM. L. Yancy, ono
Of the most distinguished orators of the
South, upon invitation Of the Legislature
ofAlabama delivered an address before
that body, in which he took occasion to
argue the recognition Of the Southern
Confederacy upon the ground of the pol
itical animosites existing between the
people Of the north. We give an ex-
tract:
"We have something to hope, however,
from CHS division Of the councils Of our
enemies, from their fierce party strife anal
jealousies. Upon this hope let us build
our own unity, upon their jealousies let
us build our own harmony, upon these
clashiugs Of party interests let us bind
together our own patriotic energies
upon their selfshness and folly let us
raise prayerto God that he would enable
us to exhibit in behalf of our beloved
country. self-sacraicing wisdom, both
in opinion and action, in all matters ap-
pertaining to our defense"

Hon. Ben. F. Wade,

<-Sh' bOh. = w oiO'
We are glad 10 know that from the de-
cision Of the Union Caucus held at the
State Cpaitol, on Friday evening of last
week, that the Hon. Ben. f. Wade will
be returned to the United States Senate
for six years, from the 4th of March next.
Mr.. Wade, during his senatorial career,
asgiven evidence of ripe statemanship,
and is evidently head and shoulders
above his compcers, and during the reign
Of this unholy and wicked rebellion, has
won for himself, by his unwayerng ad-
herance to the principles of constitutional
liberty, the proud appelation of the Mes
tor Of the American Senate. lie is the
man for the times, having a sufiiciency
OF backbone to sustain him in his bold
denunciations Of traitors and their semi
sympathyzers. In the hands of such a
man, tie honor and integrity ofthe State
Of Ohio, will be safe; and we, among the
thousands Of the people Of the State re-
joice in his reelection. H ,i.
P.S.---Snce the above was written, the
Legislature has had an election, and re-
turned Hon. Ben. f. Wade for six years
from March next. Let the bells ring out
merrlly. and all the people rejoice at this
triumph of principle.

MH. EDITOR -
AS this is the first time
that have assumed tie responsibility of
writing for the public eye, you must not
expect much from me. All being quiet
in Camp to day, / knew of no better way
to amuse myself, then by dropping few
lines to you, thinking that some of my
Wyandot County friends would like to
hear from me once, through the columns
of the Pioneer.
Friends and fellow citizens OF Wyandot
County, have enlisted, and so has every
other soldier, for the purpose of fighting
the battles Of our countIy---not for mere
pay, but because we love our free and
noble Government, whiclishas protected
our rights, and caused our nation's flag
to be honored and respected all over the
foreign world.
This rebellion which has interrupted our
peace and happiness, and now thr a.
ems to destroy our once glorious Union,
was the work Of designing, ambitious po-
lirical dena gogues, who have disregarded
the voice OF the PEOPLE, and plunged the
whole country into The vortex OF ruin and
disgrace. We do not hate or treat with
disrespect The private soldiers in the Rebel
Army, but we condemn with malignant
hatred, the designing men who have be-
guilcd and persuaded them into war,
that has already been the cause of sacrif,
einr thousands of GREAT and noble man

Internal Revenue.

\ We append a synopsis Of the annual
report Of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, from which it will be seen that
the Revenue for the fiscal year, except
stamp duties will amoant.to $6l,777,799.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
made report to Congress to, day. lIa
says during the last month lie caused a
careful investigation to be instituted in
to the several sources Of revenue, and es-
Inmates to be made OF the amount which
may be derived from each source.
According to this estimate, there will
be derived from all sources, except stamp
duties, during the coming fiscal year,
ending the 30th of June, the sum OF
S6l, 777,799. He estimates that receipts
from stamp duties during the same period
Will amount to $l5,00o,O00, making m
aggregate revenue of s76,777,799. This
result has been reached by the most care
full inquiry that could be instituted into
the amount Of various kinds of manu(ac-
lures, and the revenue to be drawn from
each, and by like careful inquiry into all
other sources. This estimate Is less by
about SO, 100000 than the general esti-
mates which he submitted early in Dec
cmber. On more careful investigation
which has recently been made, the reve-'
nue. from each source has been estimated
under, rather than above. From what
may reasonably be anticipated, it may be
assumed that without material changes in
the business of the country, tie revenue
from the same source for the fiscal years
1868 and 1864, will not be less than
,sl50, 100000.
