The New York Herald gives the follow
ing brief biography, the principal facts of
which are familiar to most Butfalonians:
In the year 1886, the city of Buffalo, N. Y,
contained among its population citizen of in
deiatgable industry and untiring enterprise.
Whole blocks of capacious warehouses were
erected By him. new streets were laid out
graded, paved and lighted on his recommends
ton and with his assistance; and no public IN.
dertaking was considered sure of success with
out the sanction and aid of this public spirited
citizen. The crash of 1897 came and it caused
him to totter. To sustain his credit a few days,
in an evil hour he committed a deed which
consigned him to the state prison. Pardoned
out, and no ineradicable stigma save that in.
separable from misfortune attaching to his
name he came to New York city and started
the hotel business at the corner of Broad way
and CORTLAND street. Failing in this, he went
to Long Islands sea girt shore, and took the
Bath House, a summer establishment. Soon
disguised with his i'll luck there, he left this
region of civilization altogo Their and sought
the solitude of West Virginia as O place of
quiet and rest for the remainder of his DAYS.
He settled in what has proved to be the heart
of the West Virginia oil region-and now this
unfortunate yet lucky, this untiring and ire
pressible man, concludes this strange, eventful
history by leaving his heirs fortune valued at
IS, 600 600. He bore the well known name of
Rathbun.

It Is understood that Secretary Stanton
has prepared the main portion Of his re.
port, but is delaying its publication unit
the results of pending military movements
are fully known. Should Gen. Thomas
succeed 10 dispensing Hoods army, and
Gen. Sherman accomplish all that was ex-
pected of him, and tie expedition which is
understood to have just started, prove
successful, the general tone of the Secre-
tary's report will be materially different
from what it would, if this information
were not received.
A very important item in the report will
be, Of course, statement Of the number
Of men still required for the army. This
viii depend entirely upon the number
raised by the last draft, and the work re-
naming to be done by the armies of the
United States The report of the War
Department is therefore withheld from
publication until these important points
can be decided.

The Press,' on the Senatorial
Question.


The Republican journals in the country
having generally expressed their various
preferences for United States Senator, the
Press, which aspires to political leader
ship, tamely follows with a ponderous
leader of non-committal character, upon
the same question. It acknowledges that
We (the Republican party) are somewhat
deficient in great intellect and constltu-
tional learning, and that we cannot send q
CLAY, or a CALHOUN, or WEBSTER to the
Senate, but that our choice is restricted to
"Hon. MORTON S. WILKINSON, the present
Senator; Hon. WILLIAM WINDOW, the
present Representative in Congress; ex-
Governor HENRY A. SWIFT, and Governor
STEPHEN MILLER" The Press says none
of these are great men," but "the inter-
ests of the State will be faithfully served
by either" The Press closes its long
string of commonplace platitudes with
this bold and striking avowal of its prefer
ences:
Anxious to contribute our own deliberate
Judgment to the solution of so important and
Interesting question, we may now take the
opportunity to say that, as our first and last
choice, we are emphatcally and warmly in TO-
yor of-the best man.
The various candidates and their friends
will now breathe freely-the thunder
has spoken with no uncertain sound.

\ True Patriot.

The lamented Col Porter, a gallant,
upright, true-hearted gentleman, whose
death was one of the heaviest affections
that this war has brought upon the State
of New York, made his will before enter
ing the service, and from it the Buffalo
Courier takes the following passage:
Feeling to its full extent the probability that
I may not return from the path of duty on
which 1 have entered-if it pleases God that it
be SOL can say with truth that have entered
on the career Of danger with no ambitious as.

The above does not embrace the lO0,-
600 three months volunteers of this year
from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, ETC., nor the
Home Guards under arms in Missouri and
other States, nor the organized militia OF
Eastern States that have been several
times summoned to the field for the de-
tense of Pennsylvania and Washington If
these classes were added, the grand aggre-
gate of men called for would not be less
than THREE MILLIONS. Figures like
these show the gigantic character of the
efforts made to put down the mightest re-
bellion in history, and the vast resources
of the north in men and means. They
also show the blind faulty and want OF
perception in the President, whenin 1861,
to use the words of JOHN VAN buren,, he
.'read the riot act and called for seventy

Tho proclamation OF the President, else.
| were printed, states that under the las,
| call Of July last, but 100000 men were
put into the army, and the present call Of
800, 900 men is to make up the deficiency.
In case the quota Of any sub district is not
filed in fifty days from the date of the
call, draft shall DO made for such quota,
or any part thereof, on the 10th day of
February ensuing. Volunteers will be re-
ceived for one, two and three years, up to
the time Of drafting, and such volunteers
will be entitled to receive, for one year
bounty of 500; for two years 5000; and
for three years $300-one third OF each OF
the above sums to be paid on enlistment,
one third at the expiration of halt his term
of service, and one third at the expiration
of his term of service. Drafted men, sub
stitutes or volunteers, can be assigned to
such regiments of their own State as they
may choose, when the same is practicable.
When the draft is made, no Communication
is allowed. Such, in brief, are the main
provisions of the new act. The present
call is virtually for only one years service,
This call will bear heavily on Minnesota
as under previous calls the State has fur
nished nearly her full quota, while other
States under various pretenses have
had their quotas materially reduced. Illi-
nois, for instance, just before the Presiden-
tal election had her quota cut down one
half. We trust the Governor as the guar
dian of our interests, will see that no par

The President, in his message, seems to
be possessed with the notion that the war
has added to the population and wealth
of the nation. he says we are mot in
process of exhaustion" but care gaining
in strength, and may, if need be, maintain
the contest indefinitely" The Comptroller
of the Treasury, Mr.. MoCUILooH, seems
to think differently, and we believe he is
right He says:
When money is plenty, and fortunes are
being rapidly acquired, the country is always
in teverlsh and unhealthy state. This is es-
pecially true at the present time. The enor-
nous expenditures of the government, and
the great advance in prices since the commence.
ment of the war, have made many persons
suddenly rich, and, upon fortunes suddenly ac-
quired, have followed reckless expenditures,
extravaganza, waste. Speculation has taken
the place of sober and perseverng industry,
and thousands are deluded with the notion
that the wealth of the nation is being increased
by the increase of its Indebtedness.

Tho New Aspect OF the War.

Coincident with the order Of the Presi-
dent for draft of three hundred thousand
more men, comes the news that the Con-
federate Senate has passed bill for the
arming of the negroes. Both of these
measures were anticipated by the PloNEER,
previous to the late election, as the newt
able result of Mr.. LINooLN's success at the
polls; but the Republican officials and the
Republican press united with each other in
condemning the necessity for such meas
ures. If the action of the rebel Senate is
confirmed, as we have every reason to be-
lieve it will be, new and powerful ele-
ment will be added to the complications OF
the war, involving prolonged struggle
and successive drafts.
The arming Of the negroes is equivalent
to Southern act of Emancipation, by
which the Administration is robbed Of its
abolition thunder, and the war shut up to
a struggle on the part of the South for
independence, and on the part of the North
for empire and sutjugation. In such an
event, it is plain to be seen that the pres
ent call for three hundred thousand men
will be entirely insufficient to meet the
demands and necessities OF the war. The
time for over one half of the army expires
next summer, and it will take at least
eight hundred thousand men to supply de-
ficiencies and meet the increased forces of
the South. The people of the North must
make up their minds to endure great sacrl-
fees for some years to come before they
can realize the fruits of the vast expense
they are at in blood and treasure

An Omeial Thief in Detroit.

LANaYoRD g. BERRY, the Collector Of
Internal Revenue at Detroit, has proven
defaulter to the tune of between $780,
600 and 5000, 900.

the Administration has made statement
of the facts to the Board of Trade Of that
city, from which it appears that Republican
politicians and even the government agent
labored with him to have the matter hushed
up and smoothed over lest it might hurt

gorge $21, 700 which he had taken from

Fifteen Hundred Thousand Men
Called for this Year.

The people are not generally aware Of
the fact, (and it would hardly seem that
the Government itself is conscious of it,
that since the first of February last, q
period of little more than ten months, the
President has issued calls for volunteers
and drafts to fill quotas not filed by vol
untsering, to the number Of 100000
men. On the first of February last he
issued call for 500, 1000 men, and ordered
a draft on the 10th of March following for
all delinquencies not filled by volunteering
at that date. On the 10Th of March he
ordered q new draft for 100000 more
men, alleging as an excuse tho immediate
necessity Of the army, and naval service.
On the 10th of July, another call for FIVE
hundred thousand men was made, and
draft ordered too for all deficiencies existing
on the 9th of September following. And
on the 10th of December another call is
issued for three hundred thousand men.
The people may we'll inquire, when are
these calls to cease, and what has been
done with the men raised under them9

Cot. HORACE BINNEY, Sargent of the lst
Massachusetts, cavalry, reported killed on
Warrens late raid, was o son of Lucius
Manlius Sargent, of West Roxbury, distin-
guished in literature, and most peculiarly
known as the author of the Temperance
Tales" Col. Sargent has been in the SER
vice since the war broke out, and First
Lieutenant Colonel of his regiment, and
was made Colonel in October, 1862, on
the resignation OF Col. Williams. Colo
mel Sargent distinguished himself in many
battles, and deserves high position upon
the honorable list of brave men who have

The Richmond papers print President
Lncoln's message in full, and with perfect
prudence. There is not line in that doc
ument but tends to unite the South in
deadly hostility to the North. Had it
been Democratic President, piercing the
joints of the southern armor as the south
ern journals have dreaded that they would
be pierced, then the journals published
under Mr.. Davis's caves would not have
printed M. Uncoln's message in full.
