The Late Call for 100000.

The late call for 100000 men, the Chi
cago Times thinks is a most aggravated
case The administration has led the
people TO believe that the rebellion was
in its last gasp-that it would almost fall
in pieces Of its own disintegra,ion within
the next two months-that the call in
October last for three hundred thousand
men was TO make the finishing and ever
lasting stroke to armed resistance.-and,
in this belief, the people have responded
to the call with astonishing alacrity ;
they have. through their county, town and
city governments, offered enormous boun-
ties TO volunteers, in the confident expec-
tation that, the required number Of men
supplied, they would not again be startled,
as by q FIRE bell in the night, bv another
demand How shamefullv they have
been deceived, and how wickedly the ad-
ministration is ,rifling with them, those of
them who are no: willfully blind now see
The rebellion is not ia its las. gasp,
and if the administration has at any time
thought it was. its ignorance is shocking
" criminal. But it has not at any time
thought it So 1t has all the while known
the contrary. 1t has never designed to
put down the rebellion in ninety days,
nor in two years, nor in four years. Had
it, i, would have taken the advice Of
Douglas in the beginning, and called out
an army of such numerical power As to
literally crush resistance, Its cool, calcu
ating, deliberate police from the begin
ming has been to prolong the war: at
whatever exhaustion of the blood aud
treasure of the county. beyond another
Presidential election, and TO convert it
into crusade for negro emancipation and
negro equality |, is such a crusade to-
dav. and it is TO carrv on this crusade,
and not 10 restore the Union, that FIVE
hundred thousand more men are demand
ed, and, if not voluntarily forthcoming,
will be drafted.

LAKE SUPERIOR GOLD AND SILVER Ex.

there is, nevertheless, a fair show for a

The Wreck of an Emigrant Ship,

It has been briefly announced that an
en;grsnt veseel which left Hamburg for
Australia short time since with between
three hundred and four hundred persons
Or board WAS lost on t e coast Of Holland
during tie recent storms. and that nearly
every soul on board persisted One Of the
lew survivors has furnished the following
narrative of the wreck The vessel was
driven about in a terrible manner bv the
winds and the waves and at last she could
no longer be steered. About one o'clock
the captain gave orders to sounG with the
lead We did 80, and 10 our horror found
only seventeen feet OF water. We saw
,ha, we were lost, aud in few minutes
the ship struck forward, and with terri-
bic shock she afterwards struck aft The
rud!er then gave wsv. We Immediately
proceeded to cut away the masts; bu.
they broke off like sticks and their wreck
beat gTea! holes in the deck. through
which The water poured and filed the
'sween decks. Another fearful crash was
heard and tie ship broke in two amid
ships. Al! who were in the fore part Of
the vessel and tween decks were drown
81, as the one sank with all who were
there and she other Was full Of wa.er-
Thus two hundred and fifty lives were sac
ri6ced to the waves in the space of a
few miuutes. 1t WAS fearful Sigh,
Yet we could do nothing. The after por-
ton Of the vessel also sank n few min
nies. hnt was not entirely covered with
water The lower portions held together.

The Democracy and the Presidential
Election.

Election.
The New York World reasons thus on
the future:
Between now and the Fourth Of July
the great spring campaigns will end. and
probably will have accomplished their
work. If the South shall then conclude.
as in reason It ought, that its future is
iLdissolubly connected with the Union,
the expedi-nt thing for it 20 do will be 10
make immediate submission, and trust to
the msgni'nity, not Of Abrshsm Lincoln,
but Of the northern people, who are too
generous 10 strike oIaye and PROSTATE
foe: Let the South hive previously sub
mit;ed, and the All Of July, 1864, will be
as important = day in our annals as WAS
the 4'h Of July, l775. The platform of
the democratic party will then be, Pacif
cation. Frsternsl Union, and State Equali-
ty. On this platform, under these circum-
stances. the party would be irresistible -
1t would carry every northern state except
Massachusetts, and every southern state
except South Carolina. A democratic
electoral ticket would hs run in almost
every southern state. and both the electe
rsl and the popular ma jori.v of the demo
cratic candidate would hr unparsll4led in
the history Of American elections, so over
joyed would the people be al the near
prospec. Of a cordial reunion on sn equal
and frserpal footing
Bnt suppose the contingency on which
all this turns-the submission Of the south
should not happfn. and that the 4,h &
July should ini them, though beaten, still
sullen and stubborn =? Even that state of
facts would be favorable to the success OF
the democratic party. Nothing could
more clearly demonstrate the impotency
of the republican party to SO restore the
Union a. to dispense with great armies
They would =, leas, have led The horse to
the water. and have found that it was
| quite another thing to make him drink
| The south would be dotted all over with
garrison ID towns AID mlitsry pcats. It
would be held in submission at the points
| Of half a million bayoGeLs. The people o
| tie United States could look forward &c
no esrv relief from the burdens of war -
With tbj. gloomy prospec. before then
they would restore the Old fra.erDai rela
tons. IF the 4;h of july finds the fedora
arms victorious but the rebels contuma
cious, the democratic party will still &C
before the country with its platform o
pacifcation, fraterBai Union and stat,
equality, and ask the country to judg'
whether that ia more likely to win bacl
the south TO wiling allegiance thar Mr.
lincoIn's olious abolition oath which j
| exprss-lv intended TO exclude The grea
body ef them from the exercise Of politi
cal rights. Events are not ripe foI pre-
sen!ng their contrast, and the nationa

so late dav for the convention as to leav,
