Legal Tender.

The Supreme Court in New Y ork, three
judges on the bench, have decided, in the
well-known Roosevelt case, that the act Of
Congress making Government notes le
gal tender, is unconstitutional. The de-
cision is rendered by judges who rank
high at the bar, and who have. doubles
given the subject mature consideration
The case was ably argued against the CON
stitutionalty of the act by George Tickna
Curtis, and has been held some month
under advisement. The general term o
the court, held at Rochester, has deter
mined otherwise. Both cases 60 to th
Court of Appeals for final adjudication il

What is Before Us. .


The struggle between conservatism and
radicalism is struggle between the Union
of the Constitution and the Union of the
Abolition platform. The question is re-
ally as to whether we shall have the Union
of the Constitution, or whether we shall
have no Union. X
The true and only theory of this war is
that it is war for the Constitution that
submission to the laws of the United
States in any district, or State, is SO far
the end of the war, the end for which the
war was prosecuted, in that place; that
the only future before us which has any
hope in it is the return of all the States
to the old form of the Union, the old Con-
stitution. Therefore, it is weakening our
own arms and putting off the end of the
war indefinitely to teach that we are fight
ing to establish new government or q
new form OF Union.
We know how hard it is for tile radical
party to look forward to the possibility of
having the representatives of Massachu-
sets met and balanced in the Senate by
the representatives of South Carolina
We;know how difficult it is for abolition
lists to look forward to the presence in
the Union of such a large number of
States AS will be for this generation, and
doubtless for generations to come, practi-
cally unanimous in their adherence of
abolitionisnl. But precisely that future
is before us, if we have any success in
the true objects. of this war. The mil
lions who reside in the South are there
to-day as they we're before the war began.
They, are not being wasted away by war,
the process of determination does not 90
on, nor is the country become depopula-
ted. There are more white citizens in
the South to-day than there were before
the war began. There are hundred
thousand more slaves in the Southern
States to-day than there were two years
ago. Men forget these startling facts in
wild theories of determination. All the
effect of the war thus far on slavery has
been as nothing, iu a practical point of
view. All the ordinary effects of war are
to be in this case, as in the case of other
wars, more of moral than of physical
character. Sometimes, but rarely, small
nations are exterminated by long wars,
lasting through half century, or very
many years. But the results of war in
general are of moral character, convinc- +
ing one or the other power that it must .
yield or compromise. The inhabitants Of
the South are, in all human probability, !

OUR LOSSES.


Our losses have indeed been terrible.
Not thing was saved except that which
was worn or carried upon the persons of
the troops. Three entire batteries of
field artillery and one battery of siege guns
all the artillery of the command, in
fact-about two hundred and eighty wa
CONS, over twelve hundred horses and
mules, all the commissary and quarter
masters stores and ammunition of all
kinds, over six thousand muskets, and
small arms without stint, the private bag
gage of the officers and men, all fell into
the hands of the enemy. Of the seven
thousand men of the command, but from
sixteen hundred to two thousand have as

Not soldier of the command has a
change of clothing, except that he

for their other selves, whom the exigen-

taking away. Quite large number of
the officers had their wives with them !;
and these unfortunate ladies are still in
Winchester (if they have not been sent to
Richmond), not knowing whether their
husbands are dead or alive, prisoners or
safe among their companions in camp
A very large portion of the command are
without tents or blankets, as the quarter
masters department at this point was not
over stocked when they arrived, and there
has been no railroad communication since
with the market. "
Taking it all in all, the defeat was a
most thorough and disastrous one.
