The Cost of the War.

The Dubuque Herald, presents a lugu-
brious statement concerning the cost OF
the war; for the contemplation Of the
"far West" he says:
A million of dollars in gold will weigh
about two tons, l,550,000000 would
therefore weigh moro than 5000 TONS
A single ton is full load for wagon with
ono pair of horses placed in single line,
and following thirty-three feet to each
team, the number of teams necessary to
haul this amount of gold would occupy a
road of about nineteen miles in length
This is the amount OF solid gold that will
be necessary to pay the Indebtedness now
proposed to be authorized in addition to
that which we already owe. This is the
debt we shall sooner or later have to pay
in gold or its equivalent, with interest, or
else report TO repudiation.

shape Of powder, lead, coffee, blankets,
shoes, rope, sugar, cotton goods of all
kinds, and, in fact, everything that can
be used by the army. An order is here
now for six hundred thousand rebel
blankets, all of which can be had, and
with sufficient amount Of money to pay
for them.
Agents are on the frontier, and as far
in the interior as San Louis Potosi, buy

had, and are sending it across the Rio
Grande daily. Most of the goods are 60

GRENADA, Feb l2.-The Chicago Times
of February 9th says the committee on
Federal relations in the Illinois Senate
reported preamble and resolutions, de-
claring that the only means by which the
Union can possibly be restored is by con-
demning with ringing emphasis the as,
saults of the administration at Washing
ton upon the Constitution.
They denounce abolitionism and seccs-
sionism as alike inexcusable and wrong,
and demand that the war shall be stop

Representatives from all the States for
the settlement of all national difficulties.
They also propose an armistice, pending
the efforts for permanent peace and re,
construction of the Union.
Their passage, says the Times, will be
an event in the history Of the war and
the country; and as the voice OF n great
State, they must be heard and needed
They embody the great public sentiment
of Illinois.

Abraham Lincoln in his annual message,
the shadows of the future for the first
time falling upon his clouded intellect
and benighted vision, causing the ago

of selfreproach. Yes, you can not escape
history. Truly said Northern patriot
in the columns of the Carbon (Pennsyl-
vania) Democrat

YOU will be remembered as long as man

IN base attempt to make the negro the
equal Of the white man. You will sure
ly be lighted down to the latest gene
ration by the memory OF the burning
cities and towns OF America, whose fires
were kindled by the torch which you sup
piled. You will he lighted down to your
last home bv the flames of civil wal
which was the offspring Of your ambition,
and which was needlessly prolonged by
your lanatlcism and your greed OF pub

but future ages will point to YOU IN the
same spirit that they now point 10 the
Jacobins of France, or the tyrants OF the
House of Hapsburg.

remains Of the great charter Of liberty,
Ike the ghost of the murdered Blnquo,
