sign Of certain Parties. il possible, 10 have
this Act, calling out The national forces, all.
tered. or so amended as to bring into the
service few more soldiers. The Law, as
il stands, seemed TO have satisfied the Abo-
liion portion of Congress last winter, or at
least majority of that body, when they
declared the war would end before the first
ot last May, ard Horace Greeley stated that
the appropriation about to be made by Con-
Rfess, for the issuing of more Green Backs,
would only be sufficient 10 defray the ex-
penses until thai time, and as matter OF
course the war should and would then end.
The first of May has past and gone, many
more wives made widows, and thousands
more children made orphans, and yet this
cruel, wicked war has not ended. The last
amount OF paper currency, legal tenders,
ordered to be issued by Congress. has been
made and lavished upon Contractors and
Officers, and all 10 no real benefit so far as
crushing out this rebellion as concerned-

aH'ar Democrats.

When the Radicals praise a man for
being "War Democrat" says the Louis
Vile Journal. they do not mean Democrat
who il in favor OF the war, bot Democrat
who is in favor OF the radical aim and man,
sgement OF the war-a Democrat, in short
wao supports the radical ticket. They
mean such Democrat as Benjamin F But
Ter OF Andrew johnson, or Robert Dale
Owen. In word. the phrase "War Demo-
cfaln in the mouths of the radicals is mere
iy another form of expression for abolition-
lied Democrat. And this the public now
comprehend. Hence The phrase has lost
whatever power 10 deceive it may have

name Of op2robirm and weakness instead
OF name of power. The radicals have
disgraced il, and they disgrace or tend 10

LATE WAR NEWS.

We are without news from either General
Grant or General Meade, and are unable to
give our readers any information OF General
Longstreet's progress from Blair's Cross
Roads 10 Knoxville. The telegraph main
tans mysterious silence.
General Averell's Cavalry are in the
Shenandoah Valley, and have appeared at
S:aunion. This is thirty>ive miles east of
Gordonsville. A local railroad connects
them but forms no portion of the great road
from Gordonsvile to Lynchburg and thence
TO southwestern Virginia. A report (Which
as the telegram that contains il states, needs
confirmation) has been received here that
Averell has destroyed this road for six miles
east of Staunton. If such destruction has
been made, it does mol interfere with any of
The Confederate comm munications The
Federal out posts of The force at Harper's
Ferry at are Winchester nearly fifty miles
north of Staunton. The country between
is overrun by guerllas.
The Federal gunboat Daylight, one of the
Wilmington blockading feet, has been
destroyed. A blockade runner had been
chased ashore, and the Daylight ventured
too near, when shot from Fort Fisher,
Confederate battery on the shore exploded
her magazine, destroying the vessel and
killing most of her officers and crew.
An arrival from New Orleans gives us no
definite information about the real state of
affairs in Texas. Military operations seem

that the Federal capioss bad abandoned

The Cost of Charleston and Richmond

We have always been of the opinion that
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, 10
prove what weight of metal has been used
against Charleston and the forts in the vicin.
age. We understand that the powder, ball
and she'll alone have cost some seven mil
ion, while the expenses OF the different
Expeditions have exceeded thirty. This is
a precious little item as the cost of taking
one city we beg pardon, we meant to say
attempting to take one city. The proba-
bilities are that the cost will be doubled !,
and then they will have TO abandon it. And
yet the poor, deluded, blind people, who
are ultimately TO pay all this debt, look on in
sort of stupor at the immense preparations
and throw mp their hats when they hear of
the vigorous sheIlingof Charleston, although
they will have TO down with the dust some
day, TO pay for it all Il is all dance now,
the piper has not yet passed round the hat
And then, too, what has been the cost OF at
mpting to take Richmond. Several hun
dreds of millions, enough, il expended, TO
build half dozen cities of the size, and
almost as many lives lost as would populate
the whole of them. Aud so the war runs
on, and this monsrous debt runs on with il,
eating up the resources of the country,
mortgaging It's lands. destroying the flower
of its youth, demoralizine aud emascula-
ting It's people. Douglas Jerfold used 10
say, that s.the shirt OF Nessus was shiri
not paid ior," and if this war debt does not
prove shirt of Nessus to rs and our pos
terity, il will be because an indignant and
crushed people will rise and throw of the
incubus, will not put il on 10 burn and
