; A RAINY SEASON IN GEORGIA. DRoUdHr IN
VIRGINIA AND THE Manufacturing the last
thirty, forty or fifty days, great, If not the
greatest, impeachment to the advance OF General
Sherman's army in Georgia has been the miry
condition Of the roads and flooded streams, re-
sulting from the succession Of heavy rains,
@never ending, but still beginning" which
have deluged that section Of the country. On
the other hand, from Massachusetts to Missouri,
westward, and from Canada down into North
Carolina, southwark, an unusually hot and
sweltering, COOL breezy and dry season has
prevailed for several weeks, SO that our farm
ers and gardeners begin to complain Of the
drought. While General Sherman's soldiers.
in Georgia, drenched to the bones, have been
foundering in mud and water, General Grants
army In Virginia has been and still continues to
be enveloped and nearly suffocated and buried
in dust. Surely this state Of things cannot last
much longer. Surely the season Of rains which
has for weeks prevailed In Georgia will find
its way northward before many days are over.
We think, like Banquo, we shall have rain
before long, and, like the man watching him.

Blair and General Blair, all the small Bisirs
and al the little BIairs all the sons-in-law and
oil the brothsrsin-law Of the Blairs, have their
broad hands and broad feet upon the Navy
Department They have tuppenny paper In
Washington, through which they attempt to
reply to our structures upon Admiral Lee; but
they do not dsvelope . single new fact, and
their quotations from Official documents only
corroborate our assertions
Montgomery Blair Is . very good Postmaster,
II be would only stick to that. General Blair
d . very good officer and very good Con-
gresham, IL he wsuld be satisfied with that.
But the Blair family, a. corporate body, Is
dreadful incubus upon the nation. This family
does all the damage in the Navy Department.
Il drove Admiral Dupont, one Of our most
brilliant naval officers, out Of active service;
Il cashiered the brave Commodore Wilkes; II
prevents Admiral Farragut from doing any
thing; 1t keeps that fossilized stick, Gideon
Welles, in Office; 1t gives the sly Fox, who is .
relative of the family, control Of naval mat
tiers; Il foists upon the navy such imbectles as
Admiral Lee. who is another relative OF the
family This record ID enough to damn any
family. 4-~t erR ea ! NJ
We have no objection to Postmaster Blair's
administration OF the Post Office Department;
but we do emphatically object to bis attempt
ing to manage the Navy Department for family
purposes In Welles he has plant tool; for
Welles Is too far gone to do anything except
what the Blairs tell him. As for Fox. he il
altogether too smart man for his position,
since he directs all bis attacks, not upon the
rebels, but upon the United States Treasury.
Lee has neither pluck nor skill enough to fight.
We ask President Lincoln when he ID going to
obey the dictum Of the Baltimore Convention,
and sweep the Navy Department OF corruption
lists and incompetents by sending old Weilei

Tm NATIONAL FnAsczs-Tm IsWzAszp
TAxAGzos.- Secretary Ohaas = aheat to propose
such an increase on The taxes on whiskey, to-
bacco, petroleum and incomes ~ will increase
the product Of the new Tax bill by one hundred
million dollars. 1t was originally estimated
that the now bill would produce three hundred
and fifty millions per aunum; but It Ia found
that 1t viii fall short Of that amount ct least
hfty millions. aud Secretary Chase also finds
that be must have from this source four hun
dred million dollars to meet the current ex-
penses OF the government and pay the interest
on the public debt Hence the necessity Tor
this new provision, Had Mr.. Chase, from the
commencement OF bis career a. Secretary OF
the Treasury, relied more confidently upon the
wealth and patriotism Of the country, and con-
sequently depended moro upon fair financial
msasures like this, he would undoubtedly have
avoided the very great difficulties and dangers
that he has brought NJ into. Our national
wealth Is abundantly able at the present hour,
as 1t has been at any time during the war, to
bear taxation to fully half the expenses Of the
war. No one, upon any thorough consideration
Of the resources Of the country, can deny this.
All that was necessary was that the Secretary Of
the national Treasury should have bold faith
In this fact, and should have the knowledge
and the skill to apply the taxation in
proper manner. Such development or demon
stration Of tho wealth Of the country would
have enabled him to borrow the other half Of
the national expenses on almost any terms.
With our wealth thus developed, and Score
tary with strength enough not to take bad
course because it was the easiest, and not to
borrow a cent beyond the limit of safety, the
finances Of the nation would have been to-day
in as good and sound condition AZ any ma
tional finances ever were. We should have
been spared the many monetary lodges that
have been disgrace to US. Government paper
would have been where it ought to he, and
there would have been no need OF the silly
Gold bill by which we have travestied the fool
ish law Of the French regency which made It
criminal to purchase certain articles with gold.
We should not have had the country flooded
with deprecated paper, throwing the burden
of the Secretary's atrocous plumbers upon the
necessities of the people. We should have
been confident, solvent and safe, where we have
now always an unpleasant sense Of danger,
q morbid fear of disaster, In view Of the deli
cate condition Of the finances. ~

PEACE IDEAs.-That peculiar peace organ,
the Daily Ne'rs, Of yesterday, in . peace
editorial on the subject of the late suspen.

pleads with the ferocity Of q dyed-in-the-wool
blood and carnage rebel, for the Inauguration
Of a war, through Governor Seymour. by the
State OF New York against the United States,
for the purpose OF vengeance" That pa
per says:-"At any moment that Governor
Seymour would, in good faith. and without fall
tering, can out the people to vlndicate the law
full rights Of the people and the State, he would
find an instantaneous and spontaneous response
from hundreds of thousands, ready and greedy
to put an extinguishing heel upon the infamous
despotism OF most traitorous administration.
Only give the people chance lawfully to exc
cute vengeance, and we,v says the Ne,ss, will
answer for its being efrectually applied.n
In other words, il Governor Seymour Will
only take the lead, and give the thing claw.
fully" start, the peace man pretty clearly
intimates that he has peace party at his back
ready for vengeance against the United
States authorities, even 70 the extent Of laying
this city In ashes and deluging Its streets in
blood! Curious logic.

THE NEW kENTUCKY DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Tho new-fangled democracy Of Kentucky, in
their new party platform, take the GROUND
that the coercion and subjugation Of eleven
or more sovereign States was never contem-
plated rs possible or authorized by the consti-
tuition" "Eleven or more" The word "more"
must here be intended to convey the idea that
Kentucky rightfully belongs to JEFF. Davis;
but conceding him only seleven sovereign
States" this democratic doctrine Of the sove-
reign right Of secession will be apt to make q
lovely time between the war and the peace
democracy at Chicago. But the Kentucky
democracy further declare that we have now
90 public debt, the interest upon which can
~-- ..sor.. o~-,arauruu WHICH smeils
strongly Of the JEFF. Davis democratic
remedy; that the people "must bring this war
to speedy close" and that sthe revocation
Of all unconstitutional edicts and pretended
laws, and an immediate armistice and q ma
tional convention for the adjustment Of diff
6culties, are the only means Of saving our
nation from unlimited calamity and ruin.n
These are the distinguishing features Of this
new Kentucky democratic platform, and Chas.
A. wickliffe was the ruling spirit Of the State
convention adopting it Butwhat can they ex-
pect to do with this man and this platform at
Chicago, when they were defeated in Kentucky
last summer by o popular majority Of fifty
thousand Perhaps Vallandigham, who ON
the same platform was defeated by hundred
thousand majority in Ohio, will be able to ex-
plain. Were there ever suoh fools in the world
before as these infatuated copperheads?
