Few Facts Noted.

Under the head of "a few facts modestly
stated the New York Herald publishes the fol-
lowing editorial. There is, however, much more
truth than poetry in the statements of the
Herald:
The American people are now carrying on the
greatest civil war the world ever saw. We are sus-
tanning over a million of men in the Government
service. We are supporting thirty-four thousand
rebel prisoners taken in battle. We have Just
contracted to feed and clothe all the prisoners
whom the rebels have taken from US. We feed
all the rebels in those portions OF the Confederacy
which fall into our possession. In many cases,
as at New Orleans, the rations issued to starving
rebels exceed in number those issued to our own
soldiers. We have assumed almost the entire
charge of the black race. Two hundred thou
sand contrabands are now provided for within
our lines. We have established schools for the
picaninnies, and are teaching them to read and
write, and CIV pber and sew. We work all the
plantations which the rebels have abandoned.
We spend about as much in philanthropy us in
fighting. We have almost as many Missionaries
as Generals. We send provisions not only to
our own poor and the poor rebels, but also to
Ireland and to the starving operatives of England.
Seldom before have the necessary cruelties OF war
and the beautiful charities of peace walked so
closely hand in hand. We are building a ire
mendOus iron clad navy for ourselves and another
navy for Italy. We arc feasting and fefing the
whole Russian navy at New York and San
Francisco and. although the fleet came here for
gunnery practice. the Admiral says that he has
not found time to fire a shot. About two mil
lions of dollars, including dresses and diamonds
have been expended upon these festivities. Taken
in connection with the facts above stated, this
will give some idea of our wealth and resources.
At the same time We literally patronize the
drama, the opera, the arts and the sciences. We
send vessels to fight, but we also send out explor-
ing expeditions to the North Pole Our discov-
cries and inventions in the art of war are chang
ing the military and naval systems of all Europe.
We have cannon, against which Notifications are
as fragile as paper, and ships which are almost
impregnable to the heaviest shot. Pulaski and
Sumter are battered down of-band. and our
Monitors shed shot as q duck sheds rain. No
European navy is of any account in comparison
with our own and no European fortress is secure
if we choose to attack it. To take Gibraltar
would be child's play to the army and navy
which have taken Vicksburg. Our first move in
a war with England would be TO anchor q Dun
derberg opposite London, and proclaim our
ultimatum of Greek fire or instant capitulation.

q Having long enjoyed the confidence and pat
ronage of the public, in our business transactions, we
take the opportunity to return our heartfelt thanks
for past favors and respectfully ask a continuance Of
abe same.

Pes;
.GENrLEMEN The quota Of Ohio,
dndcr the last cali Of the President
fw 100000 men, has been filed
That quota, owing to many errors IN
the enrolment, war too large. THIS
is shown by the large numbers Of
drafte men who procured their cx
empti1n by reason 15t, of alienage :;

Tn5 Z at Importance Of correcting
the enrolm cns has not, heretofore,
been appreciated BY our people, And
but Little effort has been made in tha'
direction until it was too late
All alterations should be made be
fore ahy quotas assigned, or they will
not in any manner operate to reduce
those quvtaS. 1t is scarcoly pussi5Ie
to secure an absolutely correct enroll
mant, but the united efftrt Of all per
SONS interested toward this end, will
render it so nearly correct that much
of the complaint that has heretofore
been made, will be rendered ground
ess
The Provost Marshall General has
again offered an opportunity 10 cor
rect enrolment lists, and to this Uud
the attention of the people UI The State
is now directed. Ii they fail to sec
the importance Of prompt action now
they must not complain if the quotas
OF their sub-dlstrctS shall be found
burdensome under any future call. 1t
is the manifest duty OF every citis N Of
the State, whether subject to draft or

his power, to this obj4c. ...
