The Great Proportions of the War.

The Great Proportions of the War.
If the following, from the Boston Irao-
eAer, be true of Massachusetts,, which has
been favored by the Administration in
having smaller proportion of her popula-
ton in the army than any other State, how
much more astounding would be the calcu-
lation if applied to other States. The
Traveller seems to boast of the gigantic
scale upon which the business of human
butchery is carried on: >r
As to the numbers engaged in the present
civil war, the little State of Massachusetts, ac-
cording to an article in q recent publication,
has furnished more men in our present strug.
gle than fought on both sides in the great Eng
lsh rebellion. It has sent more men into the
field than julius Cesar commanded to gain
the empire of the world more than all the
troops of Hellas put together in the long strug-
gle that rent her in pieces, when her sun went
down in blood. The State of New York has
equipped more soldiers than all the troops of
Cesar and Pompey put together, though drawn
from every province, from the Euphrates to the
pillars of Hercules. The whole army of Crom-
well would only serve as ekirmishers, or as q
detail for q raid from the army of Grant or
Sherman. His great military fame was gained
by managing $4,000 men; and its marches and
evolutions were within an area less extensive
than the State of Virginia.

What Hangman Foote >, Says,

The New York Times says that Mr..
FooTE was given the alternative to return
South, 60 to England, or to Fort Warren.
1t says that FoorE represents the Confed-
eracy as on the eve of disruption, and that
the struggle on the part of the rebels is
nearly over. He says that high military
authority in Richmond admits that the
capture of Branchvills must compel the
evacuation of Charleston, Wilmington, and
even of Richmond itself. He thinks
that the leaders will endeavor> to
leave the country, and that the campaign
on the part of the rebels would de-
scend to guerilla lighting RooTE is pre-
pared to issue an address to the people of
the South urging them to cease fighting
and give up the contest, which is so clearly
hopeless, and as no terms but uncondi-
tional surrender can be obtained, to
promptly accept such terms. FoorE also
represents the unpopularity of JEFF. DAVIS
at the South very great, and that the peo-
pie have lost all confidence in him. The
mission of STEPHENS, HUNTER and CAMP
BELL was only a ruse on the part of DAVIS
and forced concession to the peace men
of the South.

Peace with the states.

HORACE GREELEY writes in the Tribune
of Monday, the 18th, as follows: Firmly
believing that the war for the Union is sub
ended-that the loyal States
need but to make up promptly and faith
fully the quotas now required of them by
the Gevernment-fill them with men in
boots, not merely men on paper-to Sc
cure an early and honorable peace-we
shall vigilantly watch for and protest
against any foisting into the popular ap-
prehension of needless and unreal obsta-
Giles to the paci6cation which cannot be far
off. We have advices on which we rely
from most of the States claimed as adher-
ing to the rebel Confederacy, assuring US
that majority of their people are heartily
sick of the rebellion and weary OF the war.
North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkan-
sa., Louisiana, Tennessee, and probably
Mississippi and Florida, are OF This mind.
These people mean to upset their rebel ru-
lers, and renew their ancient amicable and
beneficial relations with the Government
of the United States" ::

Confidence I'm the Democracy.

A good Democrat living up the Mime
sofa Valley, who has never bowed the
knee to Baal speaks thus bravely and truly
in letter to friend in this city, who has
givenus an extract for the encouragement
of the "weak kneed:" 30. 49,.
On politics, you think there is '.sweak
kneed" tendency. Why should it be other
wise when greenbancks are more plenty than
principles, and decidedly more substantial
The wonder to me is that any man stands by

much to corrupt them. sl,.. .s.,..,n. b..
Only think of the powerful money influence
ofthis Administration and ask yourself what
is there to resist it. The people who say that
any question was settled by the recent Presi-
dental election, take a shallow view of the
matter. We abound with money. Every one
has 1.-THE idle, the Industrious, the honest, the
dishonest. 1t is our life, our being, our God
the curse OF the American nation, and viii. ul.
timately destroy us. We love it so much, that
if a dollar was rolling into H we would fol.
low it, without thinking of our chance to get
out. My opinion is that we will never beat the
Abolitionists until financial crisis comes,
which will come soon, and with such force that
the highest will fall the hardest. Then we may
talk through the pockets of the men we have
been trimming for place. ara 1913
That the Democracy will ultimately triumph

Strange ssassuae.,.

The New York Nesss Bn WOODS pc
PERI has until lately contained in each
issue number of Personal " advertise.
ments, reprinted. from Richmond papers.
and conveying intelligence from persons in
the South to their friends in the North.
An order from the Secretary of War has
recently put q stop to the publication
of these advertisements, the reason
being that they might convey some
reasonable information in CIPHER.
The Richmond Enquirer, while denounc-
ing this order, shows that the reason for it
was a good one, by stating that the
" Help }" column Of the New York Herald
haa been Of "eminent service to the re-
bellion. "The expedition for the relief Of
the prisoners on Johnsons Island was
planned, organized and arranged through
the help column Of the Herald, and that
for the capture Of the Chesapeake was also
planned through the same medium of COM
munication."

The DRAFT ia the First District.


Ool. AvKRnL A. A. P. NJ. G. has decid.
ed that on account of the limited time for
the commencement of the business of the
draft, the quotas of the First District will
De based upon the enrolment as it stood
on Feb. 10, 1866.
Ihls course seems unavoidable for the
plain reason that the same erroneou, ex-
emPtlons have been made in all parts of
the District. - - "
Should new examination be ordered
IN that portion of the District where the
Board have held their sessions, and the
enrolment of those sub.districts increased
by the addition to the lists of those i'm
properly exempted, an inequality and con-
sequent injustice would be the result. The
subject of re-examination and publication
of the enrolment will therefore be matter
for further consideration.

T. since the publication of the correspond

that Mr.. LINCOLN and Mr.. SRwARD did not
60 to Fortress Monroe for the sole purpose
of treating for the return of the rebels to
their allegiance to the government, and the
abandonment Of their rebellion against the
Union, but on another purpose, viz, the
submission Of the rebels to all the Repnb-
lican policies, proclamstions and dogmas
on the subject of slavery, and the aban-
donment Of their rebellion against these.
They were required, in word, to prom
Use to be good anti-slavery Republicans be-
fore he would hear word about their re-
turning to the Union and submitting to the
government The war then is to go on
till this political end is attained. Under
the party in power, We are required to fight
till the South agrees to "abandon sla-
very" and become good Republicans.
Now, this is doubtless "loyal " and all
right; but we ask any Republican if it
would not be equally "loyal," "right"
and competent, when this is accomplished,
to carry it on still further, until all Demo-
Gratis turn Republicans; and when this
most loyal and righteous end is attained,
would it not be equally "loyal," "right +"
and competent to carry it on till the whole
land is made homogeneous with the Re-
publican party in religion?
They are generally most moral and

always monopolized these qualities, hav-
ing been always engaged in the interests
Of God and humanity and is it not equal
ly necessary for BLASTING peace that
all the differences in religion should be
settled by the war as all differences in
politics.
Difference in politics on slaoery was
the cause of the war Therefore now
must it 60 on till this difference is conquer
ed. Difference in religious beliefhas caus-
ed greater and bloodier wars than almost
any other single cause. According to the
"loyal" logic which now obtains every
where, slavery being the cause of the war
must be abolished-so that we shall have
no more war hereafter. According to the
same "loyal logic-religion having been
the cause of bloodier wars than this should
also be abolished or we may have to fight
this war over again even after slavery is
abolished and all the rebels become good

The Pirate Burley.

The Albany Journal, speaking of the
pirate Burnley, says: =
,Burley will doubtless be summarily dealt
with. His trial will be short one, for his
guilt Is clearly established, not only by numer
GUS witnesses, but by his own confession, and
his tate can hardly be matter of question. He
is a malefactor of the darkest dye, and his life
has been perpetual conspiracy against the
welfare of society. According to his own ad-
mission, he served under Garibaldi; subse-
quently deserted over to the Austrians after
wards offered himself to the Spanish Govern
ment to fight against the cause of liberty in
st. Domingo, and finally touched bottom as a
rebel soldier and pirate. If the fellow escapes
the halter, justice will be outrageously de-
frauded.
If the above account of Burley is true,
he must have commenced business at q
very early period of his life, as be is only
twenty-five years Of age now.

HOW Donnelly Spoke His Piece.

We quoted from New York journals, a
few days ago, an account of DoNNELLY's
speech to seven members of the House,
five of whom spoke during the evening
session to each other, and through the
Globe to their favored constituents. We
are now enabled to give further particulars
of this little debating club: a4, ~.
from the Congressional Globe, Feb 81
The House assembled at seven o'clock NJ,
and resolved itself into Committee ofthe Whole
on the State of the Union, (Mr. DoNNELLY in
the chair and resumed the consideration of
the annual message OF the President OF the
United States, on which the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, (Mr. BRooMALL,) had the floor.
Messrs. BROOMALL, LONG, DONNELLY,
(Mr. BRooMALL in the chair,) COLE, of Cali
forpia. and JULIAN, addressed the committee.
Their speeches will be published hereafter.
Mr.. COLE, of California, moved that the
committee do now rise.
The motion was agreed to-. A.
SO the committee rose and Mr.. COLE, OF
California, having taken the chair as Speaker
pro tenapore, Mr.. BRO0MALL reported that the
Committee OF the Whole on the State of the
Union had, according to order, had under con-
sideration the state of the Union generally,
and particularly the annual message or the
President of the United States, and had come
TO no resolution thereon. -.
And then, on motion of Mr.. BROOMALL,
at twenty five minutes to eleven o'clock P. M.,)
the House adjourned. .",.. +.
it appears that Speaker CoLFAx was
absent, and that this little clique Of spout
ers alternately occupied the chair in Com
mittee of the Whole, ana as Speaker pro
empore of the House, DoSNELLY holds
the chair while BRooMALL and LONG speak
their pieces; then BRooMAIL lets CoIE,
DoNNE1LY and JULIAN blaze away at him !;
CoLs moves that the Committee rise, and
gets into the chair to receive the report.

and rarely equalled by frontier school

The War Meeting in Richmond.


The war meeting held at Richmond on
the 9th, seems to have been one of the
most enthusiastic and fiery of the war,
and the resolutions adopted, as given be-
low, show very little disposition toward
anything but independence and separa-
ton:
Resolced, That we spurn, with indignation
due TO 30 gross an insult the terms on which
the PRESIDENT of the United States has prof.
tered peace to the people of the Confederate
States.
Resolocd, That the circumstances under
which it was made, add to the outrage. and
stamp it as designed and premeditated indig-
nifty to our people.
RESOLVED, That In this presence, and in the
lace OF the world, invoking the aid of Almighty
zoo, we renew Qur resolve to maintain our
hDerties and independence, and thus mutually
honor.
1t is significant that neither ALEX. d.
STEPHENS nor Judge CAMPBELL were at the
great war meeting, where both had been
advertised to speak. Vice President STE
PHEHs suddenly found pressing necessity
to make a hasty trip to Georgia, and
Judge CAMPBELL found some other ooes-
sion to be absent.
