ital invested in their work of improvement
and the debts due to Northern msnu&ctu-
TeFs and merchants, they con6scated to the
uses of the rebellion. For years, according
to Yice-President Supplementary had en-
joyed 'tl0O-thiras Of the patronage of the
GoYernment"-a Government that had
been eTtravagant In expenditures at their
dictation and for their benefit. We were
forced into the contest for the supremacy
of the Union, with government bankrupt
in resources by years of Democratic mis-
rule and extravagsnce, whose reliance was
upon Commerce and Manufacturers, and
producers drained by Southern debtors,
who repudiated their debtI and dened
their creditors. 1t has been In the face Of
these obstacles thatwe have made the won
derful progress which the map records
To have done this is not only not fail
ure, but the most magnificent of triumphs.
The mere recital Of the ,iist of our glori-
GUS Union triumphs is enough to demon
state the monstrous lie Of the Chicago
platform. We laid before our readers, In
our issue of September Sd, list of our
Union victories in the course of the war,
which it will not be inappropriate to re-
publish now, and which We insert herei

the largest armies the world ever saw.
We have manufactured over a million
stand of Springfield muekets.

guns, ranging from the 30 pound riAed to

sion to power Of those who will again bind
the giant North In chains, and sell their
birthright and freedom for pieces Of sill
yer.
Besides having conquered 80 much of
the rebellion as ia shown by the map, the
North has steadily increased in wealth,
power and population. We have now a
Navy more powerful for ofsnse and de-
Tense than that of any nation in the world /;
we have Increased our manufactures, rail-
roads, canals, telegraphs and internal com.
merce. Individual indebtedness is almost
unknown. We are daily and hourly re.
claiming the forest and the prairie; we
produce much more now than we did when
the war commenced; our lands, our houses
our stocks of all kinds have enhanced in
value, and never was labor 20 abundantly
rewarded.

These are the material victories we have
gained. But in the wake of these have
followed moral and social triumphs such as
war rarely brings, of which we may be
more proud than of all our other eouquests.
We have taught the rebels, who had for
years reviled US as community of cow
ards and speculators, to regard and respect
US as nation of brave, patriotic men, and
true snd devoted women. We have, by
due procn-z Of law, abolished slavery in
Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Arkansas,
and large portion of Virginia Our ar.
mics have struck the chains from hundreds
of thousands of men and women in Ken
lucky, Tennessee Mississippi, Alabama,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida
and Texas, and should the war stop now,
as stop it soon must, from the steady on
ward march of Grant, and Sherman, and
Sheridan, and Candy, and Farragut no
human power could reconstruct the blight
ing fabric of human slavery.
1t must be apparent to all that the
Government has thus far, decided and pre-
advantage. The end cannot
be doubtful They VINO violated the Di-
vine Law have incurred the penalty, and
will inevitably meet the allotted punish
ment. They who took the sword are per-
ishing by the sword.

sherman Heard From.

Sherman has been heard from. He was
at Tilton, nine miles south Of Dalton, on
Saturday noon. Hood left Dalton Satur-
day afternoon in the direction of Bridge
port which is about 40 miles due west, on
the south bank of the Tennessee, at the
point where tho railroad crosses for Nash
vile. There is an immense bridge across
Tennessee at that point and Hood may
possibly be aiming for that. he has but
little the start of Sherman in this new
movement, and he is reported to have his
whole army with him Sherman Is hard
after him, and the rebel may find it hard
work to get baek again

Rebel Finances.

The Richmond Enquirer has lead
ing article on the condition of the rebel
finances, which opens in the following
lively strain;
"Aloney has ceased to be standard of
value IN the Confederacy. The promissory
notes of the Government cannot buy sup
plies or labor. Great manufacturers hold
out such Inducements to purchasers who
@ wihpay IN produce, that when the strin-
gent ordes of the War Department, for
bidding detailed farmers to barter their
crops for indispensable machinery, have
become powerless. Mechanics refuse to
work for anything but provisions. Teach,
ers demand q pittaRee in eatsbles or
small fortune in Treasury notes. Worst of
all, Government itself offers an immense
premium on all taxes paid in kind by as
sessing provisions furnished for that pur-
pose at the hsghest market rate, 1t foods
the country with certificates Of debt" etc.
The Eaqlirsr is anxious to know what
win be the upshot of this condition of af-
fairs. We do not wonder that it finds it
impossible to discover.

but had managed to escape the Wholesale
