Retrospect of the Wharf.-The Dead
Of The Past. #...

At the beginning of a new year, it
is natural to review the past. We
cannot avoid recurring to the breach
es made in our domestic or social cir
Gle. Nor can the philanthropist or
patriot stop here; but must extend his
retrospect to the ravages disease or
war has made in his State and in the
Union. Let us briefly glance at the
latter in this aspect. In doing this,
the mind naturally reverts to the be-
ginning Of the present fratricidal war,
and takes in period of about two
years and three>quarters. During
that space we have been happily free
from the devouring pestilence, except
as it has followed in the bloody track
Of relentless war.
We have before us the synopsis Of a
calculation Of the loss Of life on the
Federal side in this war, said to have
been made by Edward Mansfield, Com
missioner of statistics for Ohio. We
do not vouch for the accuracy Of the
figures, but take them as we find them.
Mr.. Mansfield gives the following ia,
bic, as showing the number Of Federal
troops killed and wounded in the va
,,in,lS on ,tannrn ants narnnd.
The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1864-01-13

in upholding and defending the flag Of
the Union?" Such is the "sympa-
thy" Mr.. White and the other Demo
cratic members manifest for the "one
horse confederacy." And yet, in the
very teeth of these resolutions, the
inscriptions editor of the Times as
serts that Mr.. White is opposed to the
vigorous prosecution of the war for
the maintainance Of the Constitution
and laws! .-.tr ..
The vote on these resolutions place
the Democratic party in its proper
light before the country. Against the
first resolution, which is nothing but
an extract from the Brough platform,
every Democrat in tho House was ar
rayed. But when the vote was taken
upon the simple question of the duty
of Congress to supply men and money
to crush out the rebellion-when the
subject was stripped Of its partisan
nature-the Democrats, with almost
equal unaniInity, voted in the afirma-
tive Guernsey Jefersonian.

R~The Boston Pioneer, radical
Republican paper, takes very cor
rect view of the ahsurdity of MIR. Lin
coins proclamation. The Pioneer
says: f.aa .sa0rs
awe should like to know who has
given Mr. Lincoln the right to recon
struct the seeded States On his owa
responsibility. He docs not do 50 as
Commander in-chief, but as President,
by placing himself on the ground of
existing things before the war. And
whence this arbitary restriction Of tho
Southern population to oue-tentlg
If the seeded States arc still States,
they must be readnitted with their en-
tire population. For if tenth part
can represent and reconstruct tho
State, dozen or perhaps y single in
habitanr might do just as we'll. Mr..
Lincoln wal. is to consider these States
On the same footing Of legality, and
yet he treats them in a revolutionary
manner, by granting the right to one
tenth Of the population to control
them. What, now, if nine.tehths re.
fuse afterward to recognize the State

will againeutthe gQrdian knot. Mr.
Lincoln's plan confases the question
instead Of solving it, g.a9 y Y, @s5.t
The whole thing lis plain enough
from Mr.. Lincoln's tand7point. He
does not regard the Constitution as
having anything to DO With the war or
with tssettlemeat; much less does he
think ii has any restraint upon his
actions Heviewit as a dead affair,

therefore, not exaggerated, but on the
contrary, more likely to be underated.
We have to ask the readers sttens

Mr.. Mansfield observes that this
table, eEincludes all the main actions,
except South Mountain, Cedar Noun
tain, second Bull Run and Chattanoo,
ga" 1t appears also to omit Cham
ccIlorville. 1t is supposed, however,
that it may embrace twq-thirds Of the
Federal killed and woun led. Assu-
ming, then, the above aggregate to be
two-thirds of the killed and wounded
on the Federal side, we have as total
for the war up to this sine:
Killed 25,272
Wounded .ag.. a.r.- no. III
Of the wounded, it is stated, that
about one-fourth die or are permanent

stand thus:

The next question is to determine
the number Of those who die Of disease.

n:saa. The New York Tribune, in nos
ticing the acceptance by the Hon.
John P. Hale, Republican United
States Senator from New Hampshire,
of fee of $4,000 to obtain the re-
lease Of prisoner from the old Capt.
tol Prison in Washington, says:
"Why was $4,000 offered to Mr..
Hale for his services in this case? Is
he in the habit of receiving a retainer
of $4,000 when he is retained as a
lawyer? 1t seems not, from his own
account. Why was he offered 81, 900
in this case? Was it not because it
was presumed or hoped that his posi-
ton as Senator, his political distinc-
tion and influence, would enable him
to achieve results which an equally
good lawyer, lacking these advantages,
would vaialy attempt?"
Mr.. Hale said, ayear or two ag,,
that the Government was in more
danger Of being destroyed by corrup-
tion than from any thing else, and it
is evident now that he spoke from q
personal knowledge Of the fact!

DAVID TOD, Governor.
JOHN P. HALE.-The Newbury

JOHN P. HALE.-The Newbury-
port Herald. Republican, and compli-
lnented as "thoroughly loyal by the
radical prints, thus speaks Of the late
affair of Hale:
The case of John P. Hale deserves
more attention than it attracts. To
our minds it is one of the most scand-
alous affairs in which such aman could
have been caught. Mr.. Hale has long
had the reputation Of close communi-
cation with the lobbies, but never be-
fore has he acknowledged that he sold
out his influence as q Senator to OBJ
tain the liberation from the common
jail Of person charged with having
committed a crime against the Gov
ernment.
1t is useless to talk Of his having
been counsel to defend the party in
Court. 1t was to keep him clear of
the Court that Mr.. Hale receive three
thousand dollars. No such retainer
is ever paid to legal counsel, and the
party incarccrated would not have
pail it fer all the knowledge of law
that John P Hale ever had. 1t was
his political and not his legal influence,
that was wanted, and that he had
Hale obtained the money; the villain
goes clear. For such an act, twenty
years ago, Senator would have been
expelled forthwith. Now we suppose
that Mr.. Hale will continue to favor
arbitrary arrests, the suspension Of
the habeas corpus, and all such meas
ures, and will then slip around by
some back door to libcrate in private
those whom he denounces in public.
