property exceeds $1,500,OO0. Hundreds
are destitute. The business part of the city

the neighbonng cities have contributed
largely but much assistance is yet needed.

New YORK, August Its
The London Times looks in vain Tor any
signs from America that the Federals are pre-
pared to pursue with vigor the successes re-
Gently gained. AT all points each Northern
army has become an army of occupation, and
instead of endeavoring TO assist his military
measures by conciliatory policy, Mr.. Lin
coin, by employing negroes to fight, is doing
his best to make it necessary for him to hold
every inch Of ground in the southern States by
sheer force.
The Daily Nescs eulogizes President Lin
coins proclamation, announcing system OF
retaliation or the South in defense of the treat
ment of negroes as prisoners of war;. 1t thinks
it cannot fail to have very important influ-
ence in the progress of the war, and give ar
immense impulse to negro recruiting.
A characteristic letter from Garibaldi, dat
ed Cayerdo, August 9th, is published. 1t is
addressed "To Abraham Lincoln, the Liberia
tor of Slaves in the Republic of America" and
reiolces at his noble efforts for freedom and
human progress.

DEPRAvITY AND DEsPAIR.-D.A. MAN ,
NEY has resigned AS editor Of the Dubuque
Herald. 1t is understood that Gen. Tuttle,
the democratic candidate for Governor of
Iowa, who is a war man and in the army,
wrote letter some time ago in which be
stated, that, the only thing he blamed the
President for, was, because he did not
hang Maho'sey, the editor Of the Dubuque
Herald, long ago. Mahoney could not
afford TO support his friend Tuttle, so re-
signed. Mahoney however assigns this as
his chief reason: that, considering the re-
bellion in manner suppressed, and that
which is to follow, no less than suljugation
of the south to the mastery Of the "Aboli
ton Yankees" and darkest Of all-the re-
duction Of the rebelling states to the condi-
ton of erritories-conseauen total
suLversion of the constitutional rights Of
our "southern friends" with the impossible
ity Of jeff Davis, Bob Toombs, Slidell. Ma
sor, Il Co., ever returning to the U. S.
Senate-therefore, making it impossible TO
ever restore the democratic party as it was
and the sum of all yilainies as Mahoney
would have it. there is positi' ely and une-
qualfedly not the least show for the rebel
Confederacy, consequently, no show for the
democratic party.

that soon after the first born was taken from
people, either by war or other cause, then
very soon came redemption, because the sign
is that the cup Of suffering is about finished.
Well. in almost literal sense the first born
has been taken from every family; so that there
is mourning in each household for the loss of
the one most loved because bravest and most
devoted to country and home. The guardian
angel has whispered to almost every mother,
