Loss aud Gain.
At the opening of th3 year, 1864, We propose ~
hened retrospect CT the losses and gains the Coufed
eracy has mace on lard and at sea- but we design SIN
Ply and briey to show how the two people will sanc
at tie end OF this war carried now by the enemy
With ID real hope OF reconstruction or subjugatiOn but
from the necessity which determined the man, who
had the wolf by the ears, that it unsafe either to
hold TO let go. Treating the enemy IS the par
wagiDg an aggressive war, will es innate, not in dol
lars and cents according to the method of Pike and
Daboll but in general terms what the Lincolnies will
baVe lost promising, however, that some OF the most
important losses have already been made by them at
the head OF which would put national character.
We shall not stop to argue the points IKE them
first and chiefly, because they will be obviously time
true to every candid mind and secondly, for want OF
space. AS an illustration what citizen, of the
United States, doubts the utter degradation through
which that people have passed in the short space OF
three years To be satis ID of this, he has only to
look at his chief magistrate, than whom a COM

pretending to fill the seat OF a6hngton and j, fersop

Besides national character, the Yankee losses may
be summed up as follows: Ia real solid craftsmanship
tsy have lost everything, Except Franklin Pierce
and 1h0pas H. Seymour where Is the \ Ortbern man
Of prominence fl to direct the lestines o uatlon
Besides the craftsmanship which guided the old Union,
they have lost the power to lay protective duties and
fishing bounes and to enact naVgation laws-schemes
for building up the North at the expense OF the South
The carrying trade Is forever gone, aid with 1t large
part of the wealth of New England 1hey have lost
the power to food the South with Abolition papers,
erodica and trashy literature; to send out emssaries

what the South suffered from union with IL Yam

10 all this-and much more might be gveu-is 20
be added the loss of liberty place of which has been

1t were easy to show that in every material advant,
age the Yankees have lost, the Southern people have
gained. With almost the entire resources OF the Old
