a DARK Hour in Our HIstorx.

The present hour is the darkest that this
country has ever known since the DAYS Of the
revolution, We are about entering upon d.
rect taxation, which will swell enormously
the already vast burdens which for some time
have been borne through the medium Of in
crease in the prices Of living, necessitated by
the depreciation Of money. ls. ...
To these financial emharrassments - TO
which there seems no end but speedy aud ir.
retrievable ruin--there is added the discour-
agement arising from the persistent III sue.
cess which has for the last six months attend
ed the the Federal armies In the main, our
forces have suffered disastrous defeats; and
when they have gained occasional advanta-
ges, il has been at cost which far outweighed
the benefits. Could one glance into the iu
ture, and at any distance, however great, dis
cover CLEANS Of light, the darkness which nov
envelops our military operations might be en-
dured with patience Human nature ha
q vast pn almost unlimited capacity for tht
endurance Of evil, when with that endurance
is coupled the promise Of relief But, as il
the case of our financial affairs, our miltar
| operations give no indication OF chang
/ from worse TO better rather the contrary -
/ Therefore, these evils are the more intolerabl
as we reflect that they are intermiqable
Financial ruin aud military disaster are nc
all that afiict this nation at the present mC
ment These are seemingly eDoogh to b
borne at once by any single people, but the
are not all
The whole country is fllSd with mourning
Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1864-07-05

There 10 scarcely a family 10 the land from
which death has not taken the strongest arm
and the bravsst heart Here it is a father,
there brother, ia another place son but
in every case the one whom the rest could
least afford TO spare
Ik.ls to this--to financial ruin, to conds
tod % which military disaster has become
chronic, TO a state 10 which one portion Of The
people are moutners and the rem snder hlling
new.made graves-that this formerly happy
aud prosperous nation has been reduced IN
three years Then We stood FIRST among the
nations; now there is none so poor as TO do
us reverence
Bot terrible as s the present, il ia less ter
rible than the future promises to be- Sns-
pended over US is the enormous avalanche Of
a debt of two thousand millions, whose pro-
portions are hourly swelling with fearful rap
idity, and which in little while, by its own
weight, must break its fastenngs aud preclp.
itate itself upon the nation Swollen already
TO gigantic size, its descent will crush every.
thing before il as easily and rs ruinously as
the Alpine snow-slides do the slender huts OF
the pesssntry
Equally unrromising is the military hori
zon If We could not conquer people when
in their infancy, how can we expect to do it
when they have become mailed giants Every
hour that the contest is prolonged makes its
success more and more doubtful; what is not
possible 10 morrow Therefore, in the future
we see only continued defeat, further depre
citation of currency, further drafts for lives,
and further Wholesale and futile slaughter
These things are every one OF them, the
direct result Of republican rule each Of then
can be traced directly to the party now it
