Statistics of Carnage.

A writer in the Jefferson county IN.
W Union has made some calculations
relative to the number of men killed thus
far in this war, and gives the following
results:
There has been enough slain 10 encir-
Gle our State, if their dead bodies were
laid in one continuous line.
If they were placed in coffins and cord
ed, they would count $4,000 cords.
If laid in a wall 25 feet thick and 80
feet high, the pile would reach across the
State.
If piled on ten acre lot they would
be nearly 200 feet high.
If laid upon the ground they would
cover every foot of soil in this county.
Seventy-fve thousand tons Of human
blood have been spilled on Dixie's soil
enough to turn every spindle in Lowell,
aud if tears were added 10 the flood, it
would turn the machinery Of the Cont
nent, and the unavailing sighs would fill
every ocean sail.
The one half has not yet been told
the thousands of wounded and lamed for
life must be taken into account in sum
ming up the grand total of evil incidents
of this bloody and fanaticNl war.
And the end is not yet!

What will you Pay2

If the people want to pay fifty cents a
pound for sugar, that they used TO buy
for ten, let them vote the abolition ticket |!
If they want to pay 81 per yard for
calico, that they once purchased for twelve
cents, let them vote the abolition ticket !!
If they want to pay SIS for barrel of
-four, that once could be bought for four
dollars, let them vote the abolition ticket
If they desire to see their families 60
barefoot and naked, TO see their wives and
children suffer from want, let the laboring
men vote the abolition ticket
But if they would have the good old
days of Democracy, the days when
"dimes" F" were to be had by The handful,
and "quarters by the dozen-the days
of cheap goods, of low taxes, of plenty
and prosperity, they will vote the demo-
cratic ticket.

What has abolition done for the coun.
trys 1t has done Just what the democra-
cy has for thirty years forwarned the peo-.
pie il would dot has driven the South
TO desperation and inaugurated civil war.
1t has filled the whole land with the wild
est anarchy, despotism, cruelty aud blood.
1t has desolated our whole country. Ii
has filled our hospitals with sick, carried
desolation into over half million fam
lilies, and woe and want 10 100000 Of
our people. 1t has made unknown thous-
ands of orphans and widows, and filled
all our homes and streets with weeds of
mourning 1t has DESTROYED the liberty
Of white men iu the mad endeavor TO
make negroes their equals. 1t has made
our rich men poor, and our poor men beg
gars. 1t has debased the public morals,
demoraized the pulpit, and converted the
good order of social life into riot and des-
poration. 1t has filed the whole land
with lies, detraction and scandalous
abuse. 1t has crushed capital and labor
together under n mountain of taxation.
It has mortgaged the merchants goods,
the farmers lands, the mechanics tools,
and the sweat and muscle of the laboring
man TO the Federal Government for all
lime to come. 1t has committed treason
in the name of patriotism, murder in the
name of liberty, theft in the name of
honesty, and erected its temples of inf
deity and blood upon the consecrated al
tars Of religion and pieiy. 1t has clevat-
cd to high places of command spend
thrifts, desperadoes and druukards, and
subjected the peace of society and the
virtue of woman to the brutal lusts of
brother bulies and bar-room loafers. 1t
has suborned or destroyed the liberties of
the press, and made freedom of speech
a felony, and raised ignoramuses and in
tolerant bigots into seats af patronage

ner Wilson, Chandler and others of that
stripe, christians Of Lloyd Garrison and
Wendall Phillips, men of courage of such
towards rs Jim Lane Of Kansas, and
his band of midnight assassius. 1t has
suspended the Constitution and laws,
and crushed the very form of our govern
ment, under the uneasy weight of a silly
and reckless military despotism. 1t has
made heroes of negroes who have mur-
dered their masters, and offered a premi-
um upon brutality and outrage. These
are the fruits Of abolitionism. 1t is n

"STAND BY THE FLAe."-A gallant
officer in regiment, raised not hundred
miles away, who never quailed under the
fire of bullets, fell an easy victim TO a
pair of bright eyes, whose owner wore an
apron bearing the emblem of our coun-
try's flag, and who was waiting on "the
boys" at n festival. The Colonel, wish
ing to make the acquaintance Of the lady,
remarked:
"Tbat is a pretty apron you wear,
Miss"
"Yes," said the maiden, "this is my
flag"

The Way to Peace.

There are really no substantial dfferen-
ces in the domestic party. If there seem
to be differences they are apparent, not
real. There are certainly none which
may not be easily reconcied at the ensu-
ing Chicago Convention. Neither are
there differences which may not be in like
manner harmoniEed between democrats
and the vast mass OF other conservative
people who are arraying themselves
against the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln
The democracy and their allies have sin
gle grand object in view, and that is the
speediest possible settlement of the ma
tional difficulties upon terms which will
be Just and honorable to all sections of
the country. Let the Chicago Convention
so declare. Or if this be not sufficiently
definite, let the Chicago Convention de-
clare that the Federal government ought
TO hold itself in readiness TO accept prop
osition from the Confederates for AN AR
MIsTICE AND A CONVENTION OF ALL THE
STATES. Surely this is the ground upon
which every democrat and every conserv-
ative man can stand. An armistice pre-.
serving, the status quo of the contending
armies would not prejudice the military
position of either party; aud by nation
al convention of all the States, consisting
of delegates elected by the people, the
whole subject of peace and war, Of recon-
struction, Of the future of the common
country would be taken from the execu-
tive governments of Washington and
Richmond and handed over to the imme-
diate and direct action of the people.
Is not this sane' Is not this fit
plan for a sound democratic platform? |?
And would not the party which should
60 before the people with such platform
be irresistibleG What surer way-what
other way, indeed-to just and honor
able peace than an armistce and u nation
al convention? Had the question of
war been RENTED to the people of all
sections at auy time between November,
1860, and March, 1861, there would have
been no war. The war was the work,
not of the people, but of the partisan
leaders. An immense majority Of the
people of the South as well as Of the
North were against war. They are
against il now, and let them have the OPP
portunity to meet together and talk over
their difficulties, and they will settle
them. Who will say that they shall not
have this opportunity9 Who will say
that the people shall not come together
in national convention in behalf Of the
common country, as their fathers came
together aud made the constitutionG
We believe that upon this simple prop.
osition three-quarters of the voters of the
Northern States cen be united against the
reelection of Mr.. Lincoln. 1t is q prop
osition addressed directly to the people
as TO whether or not they will take the
power of peace and war into their own
hands. 1t is a proposition which com.
mcnds itself TO the good sense, sound
Judgment, patriotism, humanity and
christianity of all men. BY it the issue
will be made between just and honorable
peace and interminable war; Chicago
Times.

+" God Bless You!"

God bless your This was the dis
patch sent by President Lincoln to George
b. Mcclellan, Sept. Is, 1862" God
bless you and all Of your
The alarm which had given President
Lincoln no rest, was breaking away. In
two months time Mcclellan had driven
the rebels from Washington, had won two
great battles, and was about TO fight an
other under great advantages. In forty
eight hours he would have fought and
won another battle. But the President
removed him without any good cause and
without giving any yreasons-removed him
as he was leading his victorious army to
a final victory. But the public under
stood the reason. Mcclellan was grow
ing too popular, and to get him out Of
the presidential path Mr.. Lincoln thought
he would sacrifice him, even if il sacrifc-
ed success. The army Of the Potomac
did not fight apother battle for more than
year, and then it was lamentably de-
feated at Fredericksburg
Mr.. Lincoln, in sacrificing such vast in
terests of the country, in order TO destroy
McClellan's popularity, did in reality put
the able commander in the direct line Of
promotion to the highest place known to
the Constitution Hartford Times,

The DRAFT.--We have frequently re-
marked that this draft is by no means the
last one, though Lincoln orators and edi-
tors keep telling us as they have told us
hundreds of times before, that the war is
near its end, and the south pretty much
exhausted, etc. 1t may not be uninter-
esting as a subject on which TO reflect
that the administration has officially in
formed Gov. Seymour, of New York,
that the surplus volunteers will be credit
ed on the aert draft after that of Sep
tember. Everywhere men are being
urged to enlist for three gears, and cir
cular from the Secretary of War directs
that all officers be henceforth mustered
for three gears. If there are those sufli-
ciently silly to believe that the war is
near its end under the present abolition
policy, they are welcome TO what comfort
they can derive from such foolish belief
In the event of Lincoln's reelection
conscription will follow conscription and
remorseess taxaloin drag the people
down. Those who want limitless taxa
tion and conscription, will vote for Lin
coin; those who want peace and security
will vote against him, but vote for Georgc
b. Mcclellan, whose administration vii
bring security to all.-Free Press.

CAN this extract be from the New
York Tribune? "General Grant did
not appear on the battlefield of Shiloh
till five in the evening, the battle having
begun at daybreak. General Grant is,
therefore, both coward and imbecile, and
ought to join the rebel army" Andthis: |:
General Washington never appeared
at the head of the troops who stormed
the redoubt nt Yorktown. He left that
duty to his lieutenants, Hamilton and
Lafayette. This conduct well illustrates
the notoriously disloyal proclivities and
personal timidity of the slave-holding
commander"
From the way in which the Tribune
has taken to talking about General Nc
Clelan we fear these specimens of its ven
ON must be genuine.

A MODEL SPECIE. Before the 9Th Iowa
Cavalry re-enlisted. they called on their
commander, Col. Patrick, for his views on
the subject The Colonel said:
"Boys, you al know l am no hand at
making a speech, but, boys, the 5th Iowa
Cavalry never left a battle half done, nor
will we leave this vdr half done. /, for my
part, do not intend to leave SO long as
there is a rebel south or copperhead
north How many will go with me?"
That little speech settled the matter. BY
10 o'clock next morning 536 men of the
regiment had become veterans. We think
Col. Patrick does know how TO make a
speech, and his boys think so too, we
uuess.
