A Patriotic DeteVEn In "a tian Plain.
ly Uttered. ...
Who would be free,

Themselves must strike the blow!"
The Democracy of New Hampshire,
at their recent State Convention, u
unanimously pronounced the following
highly patriotic, oat-spoken, and SOL
emnly determined purpose. We COM
mend the sentiment, highly. 1t is
worthy of exalted praise, and the de-
termination to maintain FREE BALa
LOT will meet with universal approval
from the Democracy of the entire
Union, who cannot but fully appreci.
ate the high-toned sense of duty and
conviction which prompted the declar-
alton:
Resolved, That the freedom of the
ballot-box must and shall'be maintain
ed sacred and inviolable; and that we,
the Democracy of New Hampshire,
will unite with our brethren Of other
States, by force of arms, ifHneed be,
in resistance to every attempt, from
whatever source it may come, to over-
turn or abride, by menaces or direct
interference by military force, the in
dependence and purity of the. ballot
box in the ensuing elections, State and
National; and to this end we pledge,
each to the other, and to our brethren
of other Statee, our lives, fortunes,
and sacred honor, being firmly resol-
we'd to maintain at all hazards our
rights as free and patriotic citizens Of
the American Union.

nsT The refusal of the Californi-

ans to recognize anything as legal ten
der but gold, and the public opinion
which sustains that refusal and would
drive out of business any man there
who should pay debt in anything
bat gold orits equivalent value, is cred
liable to the citizens of that state. A
similar sentiment here, like protest
against the debauchery of public vir>
tue which Secretary Chase contrived,
and at which the whole Republican
party and many Republican judges
have connived, would go far to con-
vince us that worse debauchery is not
inevitable in the future. But the party
which sacrificed the creditor class once
by the legal tender act will be restrain
ed by no principal from sacrificing
them hereafter by reputation of our
gigantic national debt.

who's Afraidr'--"Nobody Hurt"

These phrases are too memorable
and too familiar to leave any occasion
for tracing their paternity or explain
ing the bearing they were intended
to have at the time of their utterance.
Each of these memorable phrases,
when uttered, reflected the feelings
and elected the warm approval of the
Republican party. They prove that
in the presidential canvass of 1860,
and for some mftbs afterward, there
was no statesminship in that party
with forecast esSsgh to form the faint
est notion of csaing events. In our
judgment, time will show that these
men are politically blind now, ip 1864,
as they were Il the autumn of 1860,
and the ensuing winter. But, for the
present, we wish to call attention to
the instructive contrast between the
light and cavalier manner in which the
Republican statesmen secuted the idea
of possible danger, with>,the actual
consequences of the election of Mr..
Lincoln. When Mr.. Seward was
scohing at the apprehensions of more
prudent and sagacious men, and jeer-
ingly crying out, "Who's afraid?'
what would his audience have said if
the curtain of a near futurity could
then have been lifted and danger dis.
closed to their view which has since
justified these enormous calls for

Total, 2,030,748
This is the aggregate of the calls for
men in only one branch of the service.
The navy, indeed, has not, indeed,
been developed on the same enormous
scale as the army, but the number Of
vessels purchased and bnilt, the num-
ber of seamcn enlisted, and the expense
incurred in the brief space of three
years, has no parallel in the history of
any other nation. From the recent
report of the Secretary of the Navy
we compile the following statistics of
that branch of the Secretary of the
Navy we compile the following statis-
tics of that branch of the service:
Total number of vessels in the
service and under construc-
ton, 5S8
Total tonnage, 498,0O0
Number of guns 4,443
Number Of seamen July 1st $4,000
Patriotism naturally enough exults
in these three exhibits, which SO splen-
didly attest the resource of the coun-
try; but they equally attest the fearful
magnitude of the danger which SO
enormous strain puts upon the ma
tional energies. But do they still
more emphatically attest the unstates-
manlike blindness which SO misjudged
the tendency of eveuts, and laughed
to scorn the predictions of those who
foresaw what was coming? But our
prodigious armies and fleets are not
merely displays of power, they are
also evidences of debt. The following
figures, which we find compiled to our
hand, show the various loans and La
bilities of the government thus far
authorized by various acts Of Con-

All the loans included in this table
have not yet been raised and expended,
but they are no more than sufficient
to carry the war through the next fs-
cal year. But all the expenses of the
year are by no means included in the
expenditures of the federal govern
ment. If We include the large sums
paid by the several States, and by
municipal corporations in bounties, jim
the outfit of regiments, for Sanitary
purposes, and for supporting the fam
lilies Of soldiers absent on duty, severe

nothing was known st City Point

II ELE CT a PHI.


NEw YoRK, Sept 30-The HraIds
City Point correspondent, writing on
the 29th, says: If the news fFom the
army expresses any unusual feeling OF
enthusiasm il is because that feeling Is
merely the reflection of the bouyaaeT Of
every soldier here The recent victories
in the Valley, the straits of the enemy.
Immediately before US, the reinforced
and invigorated army now assembled
here, are all matters for congratulation,
for they are facts which tend to render
the troops exceedingly hopeful as to the
results OF the present campaign.
From deserters and refugees we know
that tbs utmost CONSERVATION preVailaj
at Richmond, that the citizens are
packing up their household goods and
departing. -
The Paymaster and clerk who recently
absconded from Richmond with the
f1nds Of the rebel Treasury, which they
took, good care to convert into greea-
backs and gold, were the first rats 10 de-
sert the sinking ship, and nov we learn |
that JEFF Davis himself has left Rich |
mond for the purpose Of visiting Hoods /

pendent of the 29th, says: We have /
nothing later from Sheridan than Sun
day evening, at which time he was at

Stauuton, occasionally getting in sight /
Of Early's men and picking them up
They no longer show fight, but seem
wholly dispirited They seem to con-
slider the Coniederacy used up. Some
others say that when Gen. Crook charged /
upon them at Fishers Hill they all sup
posed for the time that Gen. Early Vas
captured, but he escaped very narrowly.
He was trying TO rally his men, and
stood to the last.
Gen. Thomas pursued Early's flying
columns with three little regiments that
night and also the next day, capturing
prisSuers constantly. Gen.. Sheridan
supposed that Averill was with him I'M
til morning, when be learned that Averill
had gone into camp for the night This
