We fnlly endorse every word SO fifty
spoken by the New York Tribune on the
subject of National Bankrupt Act 1t
says:
We notice with satisfaction that Judge
Spalding, of Ohio, one Of the ablest and
soundest of the many able and sound new
members of the House, yesterday moved
the appointment of a select committee of
nine on the subject of National Bank
rupt Law, and that the House adopted the
resolution, after defeating, by vote of
eighty six to ninety six, motion that it
do lie on the table. The Speaker will of
course respect the established usage by
selecting a committee favorable to the
measure
We ought to have National Bankrupt
Law, ought never, in fact, to have been
without one since 1890. 1t should look
both ways, that is, to the compulsory dis
trbution of bankrupt's assets among his
creditors, and for the release of insolvents
from legal persecution on account of which
they have no means of paying, giving
them liberty to earn and save tor the bene-
fit of their families. There are thousands
of capable, energetic citizens now crushed
beneath load of debts which they cam
not pay-paralyzed, useless, hopeless,
whom good National Bankrupt Law will
set once more on their feet, and restore to
hope, energy, and independence. Keep
them under the harrow, and they never
can pay; let them up, and some of them
will make good every dollar they owe.
For Bankrupt Law discharges no debt;
only forbids the further use OF legal ma
chinery for its collection The moral OBJ
legation to pay whenever able, still re
mains Aud we firmly believe that more
money will be realized by the creditors of
insolvents under Bankrupt Law than in
its absence. .f.
We hope Judge Spalding and his COM
mittee viii be especially stringent in tueir
precautions and safeguards against fraudu-
lent bankruptcies. 1t is here that former
Bankrupt Laws have failed and incurred
popular odium. Nobody, OR next to no.
body, really desires that the nose of honest
poverty shall be held to the grindstone
but there is a general and wholesome pre-
judice against permi ting scoundrels to put
their property out of their hands, undergo
a legal whitewashing, and ride in their
coach and four ever afterward on the
wealth that they have stolen from theil
creditors. But for this, there would be nc
serious opposition to Bankrupt Law, and
no act can be too stringent on this side.
We expect to see good bill reported
by Judge Spalding, and to have it become
a law before the close of the session.

southern Printers I'm the Field.
IN the Richmond Enquirer, Dec. IS.

From the Richmond Enquirer, Dec. Is.
In nearly every paper we pick I'd we see
advertisement for printers, and vet there
we're before the war, more papers printed
in the State of Georgia than are now pub
lshed in the Confederate States. The re-
asOn OF this is that at least seventy-6ye
per cent OF the fraternity have been. and
are now in the army. Many of them COM
mand brigades, regiments and companies,
and are upon different generals staff, while
hundreds of them have met death upon
the field of glory. We venture that there is
not an office in the South that has not a
representative in the field and many pa
gers were suspended at the commencement
OF the struggle, in order that the proprietor,
editor, and printers and all mi ht enlist.
They are generally men of education and
always of superior intelligence, and there
fore fully understand the principles1 we
are fighting for, and the hardships, diseas,
and death incident to the life of soldier.
It is not to be presumed that they were
actuated by blind fanaticisrn, or from love
of change, or from any other cause than
he purest motives of chivalry.

EXPRESS SHIPMENTS OF PRODUCE.


Such articles as beeswax, eranberries, furs,
maple sugar, and the like are mostly shipped
by express, so that the figures above only in
small part represent the trade in these articles,
except that in furs We have estimated the
value of the whole trade from reliable informa-
ton. Ne have two express offices here, both
of which have had large business the past
season in sending forward the products named.
but it is not possible for us TO give their bust
ness in figures as the companies refuse TO let
it be known.
THE GINSENG TRADE.
The chief purchaser of this article, resident
of Minneapolis, we believe who has almost
monopoly Of this trade, through his agents in
all parts of the Stale, undertook to keep the
reporters from getting the amount of his
shipments. We succeeded, however. in get
ting information that he .ad shipped at least
120, 00o pounds OF ginseng, end have Included
that amount for him in the table above.
In collecting the above trade statistics we
have gathered much valuable information in
regard to the products and manufactures of the
State which we hope to lay before our readers
from time to time hereafter. We found deal
ers in some few articles very much afraid TO
give any information or disposed either to un-
derrate or exaggerate, but generally we have
to thank the business men of the city for cour-
teous assistance in the work. Our chief OBJ
iect in collecting these statistics was for refer
ence and comparison hereafter. and for such
use we believe they will prove valuable.
THE Richmond Examiner has the fol
owing account of the discovery of fe-
male soldier, a member of the 10th Maine
Regiment, in prison at Richmond:
Yesterday rather prepossessing look
| ing lass was discovered on Belle Isle, dis
, guised. among the prisoners of war held
here. She gave her real name as Mary
Jane johnson, belonged to the 18th Maine
Regiment, and had been prisoner some
time. She gave as an excuse for adopting
her soldier toggery, that she was following
her lover to shield and protect him when
in danger He had been killed in battle,
and now she would have no objection to
return to the more peaceful sphere for
which nature, by her sex, had better fitted
her. The heroine of novel yet to be
written in Yankeedem was considerably
sunburned and roughened by the hard
ships she had encountered, out still re-
tanned marks of some womanly comliness,
which would be heighted by calico frock
and crinoline Upon the discovery of hel
sex. Miss johnson was removed from Belle
Isle. aud is now confined in Castle Thun
der. She will probably go North by the
next flag of truce. She is about nineteen
years of age.

All of which was of the crop of 1862, kept
back from this market on account Of low wa
ter the past season.
And it should also be taken into account that
the government has maintained in this State
during the whole year an army of 5000 men
and $500 horses and mules, the foed AID grain
for which has been drawn directly from Saint
Paul and the country around, thus lesseRing

Yet il will be seen from the subjoined table
that the export trade OF st. Paul indicates an

Paul by Railroad for the Ye.r
ending Dec. "a, 1863.

The business of the st. Paul and Pacific Rail-
road for the year 1868, exhibits such gratifying
prospects for the road, from the local trade,
that we have taken the trouble to condense
from the books of the company table of the
produce imports Of st. Paul BY that road for
the year ending Dec. "a, 1858. 1t will be re-
membered that until few weeks ago the road
was only operated for ten miles from St. Paul,
reaching to St. Anthony and Minneapolis.
Commencing the second year with twenty
eight. miles of road open, and thus reaching
the trade of sherburne, Benton and Stearns
counties, we may look to see the traffic of the
Pacific road immensely increased next year,
and expect it hereafter to greatly influence
the trade Of our city:

"OLD BRAINS. An amusing typo
graphical error occurred in one of the
New York papers, in printing Gen. Hal
leck's report OF war operations. The
General, who enjoys the sobriquet of 'sOld
Brains, wrote in depreciation of the inn
mense cost OF army transportation, and
made out case for himself by saying that
tour trains have been materially reduced
during the year." Imagine his disgust
when ne found the boast printed "our

table Of the produce exports of Minnesota
for 1868, as represented by this port, cannot be
expected to show = large increase upon past
years, nor can it be taken a. evidence of any
falling off from that extraordinary accumula-
ton of trade which has heretofore indicated
the prosperous growth of st. Paul. The har-
vest of 1868 in Minnesota was cut short by the
unparalleled drought of last summer; tho very
gardens Of the northern and western settle
meats of the Stats were desolated by the Indian
war and massacres of 1862 and for not more
than twenty days of the season were the upper
waters Of the Mississippi and tributaries navi-
gable for even tho lightest draft boats, so that
at the present time the bulk Of the grain crop
Of 1868 yet remains in the hands Of producers.
Along the fruitful valley Of the Minnesota.-a
chief artery of that trade of which Sc. Paul is
the center,-one half of the surplus grain crop
of 1862 yet remains with producers and ware

POINTS OF

The rival Platforms Just given, differ
as will he seen, mainly on these points:
l. The Union Platform afirms that the
Union Is to be maintained " by quelling BY
force of arms the Rebellion now raging
against its authority" while the Demo
cratic Platform condemns the National
effort to do this as a failure, and demands
immediate efforts for q cessation of hos
t~ilities" with a view 10 peace at the
earliest practicable moment" In other
words: The Union Platform looks to the
ending of the war through the defeat
and overthrow of the Rebellion, while
the Democratic contemplates peace
through the virtual triumph of the trait
ors.
2. The Union Platform regards Slavery
as the inciting, guilty cause of the Re
bellion, and demands the suppression of
that cause in the interest of Justice and
the National safety" The Democratic
is silent in terms as to Slavery, but man
ifestly contemplates its perpetuation and
fertilization under the restored" Union
it longs for.
8. The Union Platform regards the Re-
bellion as hagrantly Oron9-iniquitous, iu-
excusable, and justly exposing its con-
trivers to punishment. The Democratic,
on the other hand, has no word of con-
domination for the treason, nor of reproof
for its authors.
4. The Union Platform approves gen.
orally and heartily the efforts of Presi-
dent Lincoln and his Cabinet to put
down the Rebels and save the Republic.
The Democratic, on the other hand, con-
the official action of the President
and his Cabinet most sweepingly; finding
fault with their almost every act as arbi
trary, usurping and pernicious.
D.. While the Democratic Platform
protters sympathy to the soldiers and sail.
ors fighting against the Rebels, it no
where lntimates that the cause for which
they tight is righteous and just. It CEN
sures our own Government for the cruel
ties and priYations which q captured
soldiers have endured at the hands of
the Rebels, but has no word of condem-
nation for their authors. The Union
Platform not only returns the thanks of
the American People to our soldiers and
sailors, but proposes a National r~ecogni-i
ton OF their patriotism end yalor. with
permanent provision for those disabled
In their country's service, and efficient
for so many as are exposed 10
peculiar perils.
