A correspondent at Washington writes
as follows On looking at the files of
claimes presented by widows for pensions,
we find that on October "a the claims
filled numbered 36,733. The arrivals of
claims are about 100 per day. Tee chief
clerk says there are now on file over 3d.
600 claims of widows and $4,000 claims
of invalids. Here, then, are represented
$4,000 persons, besides their chileren,
amounting no doubt to $50, ,00-making
an aggregate at low estimate of 225,000
saddened for life as the result of this war.
A farther investigation will no doubt
swell the list so 1,0U0,000.

compelled to subside instanter The King

him.
1t is very funny to see leading Demo-
Gratis who denounce the war policy of the
Administration and assert that it is not
conducted for the purpose of restoring the,
Union, but to free the negro, and who say
that it is destructive of our very liberties
urging men to enlist and swell the num-
bsrs of an army to be used by the Admin
istration, to carry on the war under the
very policy they condemn. If we thought
the policy of the Administration good
one, we would sustain it and do all in our
power to make it successful; but if we
thought it a doubtful one, and productive
of nothing but evil, we should think we
were acting with tho greater consistency
by saying to the Administration change
your policy, and we will help you to get
the men. If the war as il is conducted by
the Administration is destroying the coun-
try, are not Democrats acting in bad faith,
by assisting in its prosecution under the
present policy? Like our ilustrions "heir
to the aspirations of John Brown" we are
not asserting anything; but merely asking
questions.
