1t is estimated that the Richmond cam.
paign, under Grant, has SO far, cost the
army one hundred thousand men, and tho
Treasury hundred millions Of dollars -
Erchamge.
That money and those men are much
worse than thrown away, for If wo get
Richmond it will have no effect on the du.
ration OF the war. How sad to think of
the loss Of SO much valuable life and OF the
misery it has brought upon the land.
low much good could have boon dono,
wIththis money, thus layishly expended
in an insane enterprise.

AIIAED CAsE,--In the lato draft among
the persons drafted ia au adjoining Dor
ough, was an enlorprising mechanic. He
was unable to raise $500, and his father,
although wealthy, would not contribute
money to keep any one out cf the war"
On Friday last We saw him starting for
the front. His children have been thrown
upon the tender charities of the borough
for support until his return, The parting
of father and children under such circum-
stances, was a enough to bring tears from
tho heart of stone, and yet we are told by
sOmo of our clergy and other abolitionistS
that this is a glorious war, and must go
on until "slavcry is wiped out'-Lacka.

Union Convention in Louisiana.

On the 1st inst State Convention as
sembled at New Orleans to nominate a
State ticket, to be supported at an election
that, vccording to the proclamation Of Co...
ShepIy, was to have been held last Monday.
At this election it is probable mat traitors
will MT be allowed to ve:e. Soldiers who
are residents Of the State will be permitted
TO vote, but tEose who are not residents,
though !hey may have been in the State
m>re than year will no. be.
We regret that the Convention was not
harmonious. The radicals (always spoilirg
whatever they touch) seeded from the Con
vention and made ticket Of their own.-
The regular Convention made a nomination
and adopted the following resolutions, with
which they cannot fail of victory.
Resolced, that we solemnly believe the
union of these States handed down by our
revolutionary ancestors of infinitely more
value than falsely-termed State rights or
any sectional institutions, and we deem it
our most sacred duty, as patriots, to trans
init it undivided to posterity.
Rcsclced, That we as citizens of the
United States, as we'll IS Of the State Of
Louisiana, know that the observance OF the
Union depends on maintaining the suprema-
cy Of the Federal Union, and do, on the
part OF Louisiana, utterly disclaim any pre-
tention 10 any rights not subservient to that
supremacy, and hold the primary allegiance
ms due to the Government of the United
States. Cheers
"Res7lv'd That, regarding the institution
OF Slavery as great moral, social and DO
litical evil, opposed alike to the rights Of
one race and the interests Of the other, and
inconsistent with tho principles OF free
Government we hail and desire its univer-
sal and immediate extinction as private
blessing. Great applause
Rssolvcd, That we desire the principles
Of this State to be based upon a surrer and
broader foundation than the operations Of
military order, and We will use every means
IN our power to hasten the day when they
shall b. embodied in q State Constitution,
that Louisiana is and shall forever remain
a Free State. LApplause.
Resolrea, That we heartily approve OF
the plan adopted by General Banks to in =.
sure that result, as we'll as to restore the
voice Of Louisiana to the councils Of tie
nation: Cheers
Resoiped. That We will support no man
as candidate for office who is unwilling to
subscribe and plodse himself to carry out
the principles set forth in the above resolu
TONS"
On the Is, Monday IN April there will be
q general election Of delegates to Consti-
tution'l Safe Convention, when, we doubt
not the constitution Of that State will be so
amended - to make that State free.

Of the street that small hole about the
size Of stove pipe broke through, but for
tunately this was not discovered by the

work more rapidly.

~ feet long: and opened into an old tobacco

as they found the way clear, they emerged
slowly IN single squads Of two or three, and
sauDtered Oft until they got clear Of The

The darkness favored them, and the fsct
that rebel soldiers whom they met were
habited in the army coats of Uncle Sam.
which they had stolen from the supplies sent;
to our prisoners by our government, was Of
great help to them, although they were at5
tired IN our army over coats, and many Of
them had their haversacks. They fouud
the national uniform better disguise than
II they had been provided with genuine ,eb.:
el uniforms
In order to elule the pursuers who they
knew would soon be on tn .ir trick. They
scattered as much as possible. Many wery
thslr hardships and suderings, and frequsue
their escapes from the rebel cavalry, who.
the next morning, were bushwhacking in
every direction for them. The joy which
'ney experienced when they first caught
sight Of our troops sent out 10 keep them
and protect them from their pursuers, can.
not be expressed. To the officers and men
Of the 'l'h Pennsylvania cavalry, who they
first met, they expressed most profound
gratitude for their u"bounded kindness, .nd
also bear testimony to the gallantry with
which these noble fellows pursued the rebel
cavalry, and rescued many of the wayworn
lug tlves who otherwise would have been
recaptured.
There is good reason to hope that many
more wall yet come in safe.

Hon. Mr.. Ferrer Of St. Paul, has irtco-
duced bill into the House, the object Of
which is TO encourage immigration The
bill provides for commissioner of imnigra
ton, committee of immigration III each
Senatorial and Representative District n
the State. 1t also offers premiun Of $3.50
for the b@st immigration Document, and $3.50
for the second best. AS the st. Paul Press
very justly remarks, p|pul'tion is the first
want of the State. The larger part Of our
population is, and for years to come will be-
composed o. immigrants. Then to encomr
age immigration is to subserve the best in
terest OF the State and We only wonder
that more earnest action in this direction

-Thurlow Weed has written letter to

Congress of the Homestead Law, and the
application Of the proceeds of the Public
domain to the payment Of the public debt
We do not believe the national credit
rests upon such a basis. nor that the law
will ever be repealed; The Government
has more sure voucher for the redemption
of its pledges, in the rapid settlement and
Improvement Of the public domain, than in
boarding it in its wilderness state for ages.
