1t will thus be seen that if LINCOLN car
ries the doubtful Republican as well as the
certain Republican states, he will still fall
far short of the needed | Ii votes,
1t is easily demonstrable that the sumo
percentage of increase of this falls vote in
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, as
compared with last year, will give us all the
states in November save those indicated
above as being certain for LINCOLN,
Although in all human probability Gen
eral MCCLELLAN will be honestly elected
President on the Sth Of November next, still
there is so large a margin of doubt that
Democrats cannot afford to consider the
matter settled All hands must turn to and
work with n will in the brief three weeks
before us, Democratic speakers must be
stirring, and conservative presses must mul-
tiply their issues. One earnest and deter
mined effort will make the assurance of vic
tory doubly surc.-Nem York World

STATES CERTAIN TO VOTE For MCCLELLAN.

But the administration may put a forcible
stop to elections in Missouri, Kentucky,
Maryland, and Delaware; so it becomes a
question whether there are not some other
states which will probably vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. That there are such will be
seen by the following list:

The END OF THE WAR.-The Pres
idont's sudden last call for an army
as large as that with which Napoleon
invaded Russia, in addition to the
army of equal size now in the field,
reveals a theory Of war and the mill
tary art at Washington, which gives
no little point to the humorous sketch
just published by the clever carcatu-
rist, Cham, of Paris. This sketch ID
baptised "The End of the American
Warp II represents a vast extent
of wasted territory. A military cap
is lying on the ground on one side
on the other military coat. There
arc no wearers left for the garments.

Shakespeare on War Policy.

Shakespeare knew human nature
which was the same three hundred
years ago as now-in the play of Tro-
illus and Cressida, well illustrates the
policy of present national administra-
ton, as distinguished from that of
General Mcclellan. In the following
extract from the speech of Ulysses,
in that play, we have distinct pre-
scntation Of the policies of Mcclellan
and Grant:
"They tar our policy, and call Il cowardi CO
Forostall proscionco, and esteem no act
But that Of hand; the still and mental parts, -
That do contrive how many hands shall strike,
Whom fitness calls them on, and know, by measure
or their observant toll, the enemy's weight
Why this hath not n fingers dignity.
They call this bed-work, mappery, closet war;
So that the ram that batters down the wall
For the great swing and rudeness OF his peise.
They place before his hand that made tho engine,
Or those that with the fneness Of their souls,
By reason guide his execution" e.P.

OUR New FINANcIER.-William Pitt
Fessenden, born in Roscawen, N. H.,
in 1906, settled as a lawyer in Port
land, in 1929, was elected thence to
tho Legislature of Maine in 1881, and
has ever since ranked among the fore
most men Of that State. He served
repeatedly at intervals in the more
popular House, always with marked
distinction; and in 1910 was elected
to congress and served through his
term, declining reelection. He
was pursuaded to run again for Opn-
gress in 1850, and received a majority
of votes, but the seat was awarded to
his democratic competitor by the can
vassers, and he declined to contest it.
He was chosen u. s. Senator in 1864,
by union of wings and free soil DEM
ocrats, and has ever since filed seat
in that body. lie has for some years
been tho Chair nan of tho Finance
Committee, which is the first position
in rank and importance. His dis
charge of the duties of that post has
rendered him thoroughly familiar with
every question relating to the national
finances; and there is probably nc
other man in America who could steI
at once into Secretary Chase's shoes
and succeed him in his arduous and
trying labors with so little hesitation
or misgiving. Mr.. Fessenden is one
of the ablest lawyers in America and
has no superior as ready, forcible
debater. We expect to hear soon
through the copperhead organs, tina
he is thief and o swindler but, uI
to this hour, no man has ever ques
toned his integrity.-N y. 7ribae.

5,2l9, 1872 tons, exclusive of whaling

not boen so seriously affected, and,
with the loss by sale to other flags,

the loss of tonnage by capture, burn

FAIL oy A GREAr SoLpIKR.-In the
loss of Major General Mcpherson.
who was killed in the battle before
Atlanta on Friday, the country loses
one Of its ablest and best servants,
and the army an engineer officer who,
by general consent of his fellow Off
GERS, stood first and foremost in that
department of the service. Gen. Nc
Pherson has been on duty in the
West since the opening of the var.--
He was with Buel, in Kentucky, and
subsequently in the advance<of our
army through Tennessee, he had the
important and difficult duty of keep
ing open and in order the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad. When the
campaign of Yicksburg began last
year, he was assigned by Gen. Grant
TO the command of a corps, and he
commanded the centre Of our army
during the seige Of that place. In
that position he had the main direc-
ton Of the scige operations, and was
spoken of in the highest terms by
Gen. Grant in his official report. Sub
sequontly Grant wrote letter urging
tho confirmation Of Gems. MCPHERSON
and Sherman as Major Generals, and
in this document he spoke of both
these officers with a warmth and ap-
probation which was remarkable in
one whose language is SO moderate
and guarded. After the fall Of the
city he remained in command there
for some time, but subsequently he
was transferred to Chattanooga with
tho greater part of his force. In the
advance from thence upon Atlanta,
begun in May last, he has borne a
prominent and always glorious part.
His corps has been foremost in the
fight, and his strategical and tactical
movements have always exhibited the
very highest skill. His loss is u very
deplorable one at this moment. To
the Old army, to his companions in
the field, and TO the country, it is a
loss irretrievable.
