Money Making.

The appended recent Senatorial dialogue
between Messrs. Hale and Wilson is not
more pithy than suggestive As the par
ties, as well as the Navy Department, are
working for the elevation of the oppres-
sed," VIC approhcnd there will be no ques-
ton of the facts stated.
"MR. HALE-I have secn-ond | base
this statement upon official documents
which have come under my notice-a list
Of articles furnished by advertised proposals
to the Navy Department, where the price
varied from one to ten hundred per cent.
above the market price.
''For instance, an article costing twelve
dollars has been furnished at one hundred
and fifty dollars. That / have seen in Off
cial statements.
'Mr WMsoN--Did the Government
take it at that price?
'Mr. HALE-The Government took it;
the market price being twelve dollars, and
the contract price one hundred and fifty
dollars.

in that same list, Cotton waste, the mar.

The Rebellion Falling TO pieces.

At present we have wonderful stories OF
dissatisfaction, regard for Lincon's Proc
lomation. clcscrtion. distress and starvation
among the rebels. Like ruuors have SCUM
ded in the public ear so often that people
have come to regard them with suspicion.
From the very beginning, the war has
been managcd with view to secure
the greatest amount Of popularity for those
at the head Of affairs. 1t is owing to this
fact that the people at all times have been
the victims of gross official lalsohood At
first, the public was told that the rebellion
was insignificant and would be over in 90
days. Ever since we have been fed with
precisely such pabulum--always being as
sured that the Confedoracy was just on the
verge of yielding-that this rebel army was
completely dcmolalzcd--that that State
was all ready to return TO the Union-that
the South was starving-that in sixty days
the whole affair would be played out, T"
the Coniederacy thing of the past, and
its lands given as a spoil TO the faithful
And yet three years have elapscd--we have
spent billions in treasure and hundreds OF
thousands of lives--and yet, according to
all human probability, the coming spring
will witness the rebellion confronting us with
larger armies and better organizations than
at any time since the beginning of the con-
hict
1t is no wonder that the people have
grown sick Of the war, when they arc prom
iscd hourly that the war shall end in sixty
days, and yet constantly find that the re-
bellion only grows more formidable.
Who doubts that if the Administration
had called out three hundred thousand mcr
at the beginning, the rebellion would ncvel
4 have extended over three months? Insteat
Of this, levy was called and the pcopl,
assured that the war would end at once
That levy was exhausted, and then anothe
was @ll6l with the usual assurance O
, sixty days grace to the rebellion. Tha
: levy went, and another, and another, an
still another were called, each one accom-
panied with the standing assurance tina
, sixty days would end the rebellion.
Now we are conscripting, and sober mel
would be glad of an assurance that the wa
would end in sixty months. The war coul
have been ended in three mOnths--in six
at the close of the first year-it would b.
ended to-day by the complete restoration o
the Union and the honorable adjustment o
our difficulties, had we men at the head o
affairs who understand the position anc
were equal to its demands.
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1864-01-28

We publish elsewhere an account of a
movement which is being made in this
State looking to the restoration of the
Churches of the land to their old and prop
cr position. We say restoration, for, with
in the last two years, it is well known that
n large majority of them have ceased the
preaching of religion and have taken up
politics in its stead The synods, assem-
bles, and conferences, have partakcn of the
character of heated political meetings, and
the so-called sermons of the preachers have
been violent and Incorporate partisan har
angucs-in fact, poor stump speaches fol
the abolition party, They have brought
scandal upon the churches, and have done
immense harm to the cause of religion b,
preaching a gospel of war and murder, o
strife and hate, instead of peace and low,
and brotherly concord.
1t is time that the churches were reform
cd, and they went back to the Bible as the
standard, instead of GREELEY's Tribune
and that they discarded their plurality o
gods--lRED DOUGLASS, PHILLIPS anC
.GARRIsoN-for the apostles and prophets
Of Holy Writ. All good and pious people
who desire to see the Churches as they once
were, purely devoted to religion and moral
ity, instead Of stirring up hatred and jcal
ousy and political strife, will favor the new
movement.

Brooks. wood ana Cox.

There are three opposition members of
the House of Representatives whom the
radicals would give n bic pile of grccnbacks
to have retired, viz james Brooks, l'crnan-
do Wood and Samuel S. Cox They are all
perfect gentlcmen in their department, and
in their several ways smarter than steel
traps Mr. Brooks watches the Treasury
with an eagle eye, and compcls tho donin-
ant party to explain AS they go along in
making their enormous appropriations, -
Mr.. Wood talks to them about peace, when
no peace is wanted, and that is disgusting,
frauds committed in the departments. As
to Mr.. Cox, he is always on hand to defend
the right, condemn every phase of fanati-
cism, and to lash with the bitterest kind of
sarcasm those who deserve condemnation. -

War Relic.

At the urgent request of the ladies oI
Chicago, Old ABE contributed the shirt he
wore in his memorable fight from Harris
burg, through Baltimore to Washington
after night to the Sanitary Fair - as a
relic Such patriotic conduct is without
example on the part Of any former Presi-
dent. Old ABE suggests that the tail OF
the shirt was marked by himself with indel-
ble ink; but it is thought the mark on the
tail was not produced by ndelible ink on
the contrary, it is supposed to have been
marked with something resulting from ex-
treme fright. Why did he not also contrib,
ute the jockey cap and Scotch Plaid Cloak
and he might have sent the room in whicl
he pulled of the shirt The ladies' are
warned NJ to wash that shirt

sOIIleCs, GininlS.

A Washington dispatch Of the 2lst inst,
has the following:
The Second Auditor reports that on the
lst Of January, 1862, there were on hand
and unsettled 1870 claims of deceased and
discharged soldiers. During the year, l3-
467 claims of this class were settled On
Jan. l. 1863, the number on hand unsettled
was 1884; the number settled during the
year was 10, 767, and there remained ON hand,
unsettedrou January !, 1861, 1880. In
the months Of November and December,
5l3j more cases were settled than received
Tho number settled in October was 1890
in November, GAO, and in December, 5000
The Auditor estimates that, under lavora
bic circumstances, settlements may be mad
at the rate of Ia, 900 u month without fur
ther increase OF clerical force and that, b,
the middle or last of next August, all claim
now in the Office will be settled.

THE CARNAGE OF THE WAR.
s'KC the Living will not Hear the

from the Washington Constitutional Union.

lFrom the Washington constitutional Union.
How many human lives have been sacri-
feed by this cruel and relentless war? Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens made speech last session
Of Congress, winter of 1923, in which he
stated that 900, 900 men had been muster
ed into the United States service, of which
number only 400, 900 then remained fit for
service The balance of this host, COG, 900
men, had either been killed in battle, died
of disease or wounds, or been disabled
Since then there have been some of the
greatest and fercest battles of the war, and
large accessions to the military force, by
conscription and voluntary enlistment, have
been made. 70 the 60o, 500 above, may be
added at least 100, 900 more, making in all
100000 of men destroyed or disabled.
| If northern accounts Of casualties in bat
tie and otherwise be correct, the south has
lost more than two to one as compared with
the North. This will give 1000, 900 men
as the southern loss, which, added to the
northern, makes 1900, 900. 1t will not be
an overestimate to put the number killed,
or who have died from wounds, &C., at
100000
How much space would it require to bury,
side by side, this enormous host of dead
men, allowing four feet to each grave, and
the space between? One mile in length
