CONsoElSG.-The large and often re-
peated calls made by Abraham Lincoln
for men and money, have at least oAs en-.
couraging point Of view. If the war is tn
20 on till the last man and the last dbl.
lar are taken, these large calls show rapid
progress towards the end. When the
men and the money lately called for shall
have been furnished and used Up, the
country must be pretty we'll exhausted.
The stock on hand is not abundant; and
few more calls for tive hundred thou
sand more will close the market The
demand is too heavy for the supply. II
is said that in some Of the Atlantic States
men have become prematurely old and
that cripples have increased at an amazing
rate; and as all such are exempt and the
young are passing away in Virginia,
Georgia and Louisiana, more calls must
speedily follow, and the last man will soon
be goner. Then we shall have peace.

n From present indications, there
does not seem to be any doubt whatever,
but what is left of the old democratic
party and the Fremont Republicans, will
form a union of their political strength
for the purpose of defeating Abraham
Lincoln for the next President. The
great pathfinder and bis cunning and sue
cessfuI opponent of 1856, are now on the
most brotherly terms, and keeping up a
regular correspondence. James Buchan-
an writes to John G. Fremont, aud John
g. Fremont writes to James Buchanan,
the latter having determined, before he
steps into his grave, TO gather little
more infamy to keep him down. Let
them 60 ahead; there is about as much
chance for this piebald association as there
is for toad under a harrow.
