the foregoing title, published in Virginia,
after one days break down, mot having
lived the time we allotted it at Its birth. }
started again yesterday under new arspi-
ces. 1t has changed owners, but retains
its politics and its editor. In reviewing
its brief past history, and alluding to its
opponents, it speaks Of the News as "the
most spiteful." We deny the accusation
Of "spite." We simply despised the
paper for the low and contemplate men
dacity to whichit descended in the attemp,
to carry out the ends of the party whose
organ it assumed to be. Entertaining
that contempt, to have treated the paper
with civility would have been hypocrisy.
It SAYS it "will eschew politics as much
as possible" So much the better for it,
As long as it confines itself within the
limits OF decent journalism, it will have
no reason to complain of discourtesy from

TIE BALANCE OF TRADE:

One of the data by which to judge OF q
nations prosperity is its "balance OF
trade" with foreign countries. On Mon
d.r we made up from the official tables of
Mr.. Blodgest an article upon 1.-The Ma
.;on's Resources" We refer once more
TO those valuable statistics, for the pur-
pose of seeing how the nation stands with
regard to the balance of trade. These ia
bles show the condition of things in that
quarter to be, if not all that could be
asked, at least very comfortable. We
find the comparison of the totals of for
eign trade for a series OF years to July,
1868, to be as follows:

States for three years before the war ia

Guiding gold, which are,
For three years before the war, S6l,77O,as3
For three years Of war, S,+9j,69O
For six years, 592Ss.6S5
The foregoing will be, perhaps, to some
persons dreary waste of figures to wade
through; but to those who are inclined to
take look at the actual condition of their
country from such sure standpoint as
the official records of both this and foreign
countries, it will amply and satisfactorily
repay the study. Itconstitutes sufficient
reputation of the baseless outcries of the
Tory alarmists, who hold up the bugbear
OF National bankruptcy in the endeayor to
alright the people and the government

ior the suppression of the rebellion.

ChOsen by Convention of Oct H.
THE FAILURES" OF THE WAR.

There will certainly have 10 be new
dictionary made, to suit the changes in the
definition of words which have resulted
from the rebellion. The definitions as
gwen by Webster, Walker, Johnson,
Worcester, and other old-time lexico-
graphers, don't suit the times at all.
Among other words, the Specification o.
which have Numerically changed, is the
word failure" JEFF Davis, in his re-
cent message, says Grant, Sherman, Sher-
idan, Banks and Butler, are all failures"
If a person merely acquainted with the
English language as it was, and taking
the dictionaries commonly in use as the
standard of the language, will look at the
results OF the operations of these generals,
he will be likely to come to the conclusion
that JEFF is mistaken about the " failure !"
part of it. Eminent democratic !"
speakers and writers of the JEFF persua-
sion have also adopted that monarch's
definition of the word, and pronounce the
"par a failure" The dictionaries will
not bear out that statement either, by
very long shot, as we shall see by table
compiled by the New York Tribune. The
table shows the status Of the rebellion at
the time of the reasonable convention.
In 1851 the rebels claimed all the cotton
States; the States of Maryland, Kentucky,
Western Virginia, Missouri, Tennessee,
and the Territories of New Mexico and
Arizona, actually admitting in the rebel
Congress, members from Missouri and
Kentucky. At this time they have lost
over rhree-fourths OF their territory, and
their armies have been driven out Of Mary
land, Missouri, Western Virginia, Ken
lucky. Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Florida, Texas, and portion
each of North and South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Alabama. The authority and
military strength Of the Confederacy is
now practically reduced to the States of
Eastern Virginia, North and South Caro-
lima, and portion of Georgia, substanti-
ally confined to some two or three States.
But let US look at the table:

The Union Vedstte Of the 10th inst. say:
The day Of election passed off quietly in
Camp, almost everybody seeming to take I,
lively interest in gettingin their votes for Old
Abe, while there was just enough Of the
other element among the voters to render the
election not entirely too one-sided.
The polls for the New. Ty. Vols. now sta
toned at Camp were opened at the Quarters
of Lt.-Col. Williams, while those for the
California Volunteers, yiz: the Infantry and
remaining cavalry, we're held at the Camp
Headquarters-Lt..Col Moore and the two
senior officers presiding as required BY law.
Owing to the fact that at the latter polls a
goodly number Of discharged officers and
Soldiers offered their votes, in regard to the
receipt Of which there was discrepancy oil
opinion among the judges, it was finally de-
termined to receive such votes, depositing
them in a separate ballot-box, and until an
answer should be received to telegram on
the subject, sent to the Secretary Of State at
Sacramento. The answer not being received
on the day, nor up to the time Of our going
to press, the votes Of the Californians has
not yet been published, but the sprinkling OF
| the Mcclellan vote will be thin.

Thus the scale Of excess of exports es-
tablished in 1855, rises gradually to
1868. Its average for the last two years,
the worst of the war, is SOL, 800, 900 each
year. Its average for the two years pre-
ceding the war, 1859 and ls59-60, was
$4,000, 900 each year only. For the last
period of six years the total excess of ex-
ports is $3.50, $50, an annual average
of S43,4l4,O95; and for the last three
years an annual average of 1854, l6l,2 O4.

was discovered massing in front of our
line, near Fort Stedman, the guns of the
Fort opened fire, driving them to their
works. The rebel batteries replied brisk
ly, but they were soon silenced by our
guns and mortars. A force of about one
hundred and fifty Q50) rebels made a sor-
tie from their lines and attempted to pene-
trate ours. Being met by salute from
our pieces they were not long in finding
their way back.
As the enemy seemed determined to
pursue the policy of shooting at every
man they see, our men are forced to re-
taliate. Accordingly the pickets in front
of the Second Corps were briskly engaged
most of last night. The reports of mus
kerry were at times almost continuous.
