partment, that the nun Der of soldiers who
have lost their lives in the service since
the war began reaches fully 240, 00o.-
Whereupon the Enquirer remarks: This
does not Of course, include those who went
home stricken with fatal disease and died
after their term expired. SJldiers-espec
tally such rs are bred in cool climates and
serve in warm ones-when returned to
peaceful life, die faster than citizens. Five
years after the war in Mexico more than

and petty officers and returned we're in
their graves. The statistics from the War
Department, therefore. startling as they
are. do not tell the whole story-do not,
by any means, make the grim picture
complete.

PRrDE-We have often heard Of half
grown up boy say pettishly to his mother.
Il don't like to be seen carrying bundle
through the streets. But true pride is
ashamed of such littleness of mind. Mr..
Aston, the wealthy millionaire Of N. York.
was reluctant to sell some goods to a
young man, except for cash the merchant
paid for them, and took them On his
shoulder to carry them away. Mr. Aston
looked in surprise, but before the mer
chant had gone many steps he called him
back, saying, "you may buy on credit any
amout can trust you, sir. A man who
is not ashamed to do bis own work is sure
to succeed" Here is another lesson for
false pride.

publishers Of Democratic press2 Out Of

Of the Confederate States" in the absence Of
Law for that purpose.
l have heretofore in confidential message to
the two Houses stated the facts which inouced me
to consider it necessary that the privilege Of the
writ of hobeas corpus should DO susper ded.-
The conviction of the necessity Of his measure
has become deeper as the events Of the struggle
have been developed Congress has not con-
Cured with me in opinion. 1t is my duty to
say that the time has arrived when the suspen-
sion of the writ is not simply advisable and ex-
pedient. but almost indispensable to the SUCCESS
full conduct of the war. On Congress must rest
the responsibility of declining to exercise pow
er conferred by the Constitution as means Of
public safety to be used in periods Of national
peril resulting from foreign invasion IF cur
present circumst xnces are not such as we're con-
templated when this power was conferred, I
confess myself ct loss to imagine any contin-
gency in which this clause of the Constitution
will not remain lead letter.
With the prompt adoption of the measures
above recommended, and tbs united and
hearty cooperation Of Congress aud the people
in the execution of the laws and the defence of
the country, we may enter upon the present
campaign with cheerful confidence in the result.
Aud who can doubt the continued existence IF
that spirit and fortitude in the people, and of
that constancy under reverses which are need
ed to render our triumph secure? What other
resource remains available but the undying, un-
conquerable resolve to be free? It has become
certain beyond all doubt Or question, that we
must continue this struggle to a successful is
sue. or must make abject and unconditional sub
mission to such terms as it shall please the con-
queror to impose on u after our surrender. II
