gracefully yield to. that of the banks, when
the two come into collision. Ii has been so
from the beginning. Hence il is taat the
bankers and capitalists most familiar with
the interior Of the Treasury smile 50 signi-
fcantly at the Seeretary's late famous
speech in favor of contraction. They
well know that contraction fairly begun
will ruin all the banks; and the ruin Of
the banks viii destroy the whole Treas
ury system administered By the present
Secretary. His facility in modifying his
views to suit circumstances is fully under
stood by them; and the necessities of his
position and his past policy makes ii certain
that, under m, contraction can take place
in reports and speeches oisiy. They are not
afraid
| can not take space to speak Of the almost
limitless temptations to fayoritism, official
corruption and bribery which are produced
by this banking law, and I am thankful that,
as existing evils, they scarcely need mention.
Our financial administration has been, on
the whole, distinguished of late years by Its
purity of purpose. Yet as danger in the
future, these temptations are very threaten
ing, and We shall be fortunate indeed if we
escape serious decentralization of our pub
lie officers through their influence.

DoN'T SEE TIT was promised us that
the reelection Of Lincoln would appall the
South and induce immediate submission.
We don't See it. On the contrary, the
"dismayed and exhausted" rebels are more
defiant than ever. They favored his re.
election, giving as reason for it that it
would certainly lead to their indepen-
dence. The election of Mcclellan would
have built up formidable Union party
and peace propositions would have been
offered for return to the Union. The
Richmond Sentinel, which is understood
to be the especial organ Of President
Davis, thus shows how appalled," the
rebels are:
" BY the blessing of God, Lincoln shall find
wide difference between his purpose aud its
accomplishment. He may make war, but be
cannot command sDom:ssicD E2G Il it is his
resolve that his people shall employ their en-
ergies In the destruction OF our people, he shall
find that we are not unresisting victims and
that We can give blows ss wen 90 Teeeiv them"

NUHBRR OF TRooPs.-The number Of
troops called for by Mr.. Lincoln last year
was 100000 namely, February 1st,
200, 900; March 18th, zoe, 900; July 18th,
100000; December 10th, 10000 The
propect is good that an equal number
will be called for this year. Grant is
preparing for another grand campsign IN
the spring and he needs more men, and
many of Sherman's veterans 60 out Of
service in April. Sheridan's army is thor
oughly used up, and Thomas's is said to
be pretty we'll thinned out. In addition
to the troops needed by the above Gen
erals. ths. Rdslon Journal says, as We
come in possession Of Southern cities, it
will require a great many men to garrison
them" This opens an interesting pros
pect. We have sent something more
than three millions of men to the field to
take these places, and now Mr.. Lincoln
wants several hundred thousand more to
hold them. What good does the "pos.
session Of Southern cities" do, when we
have to garrison them with thousands Of
men? Are they not an expensive luxu.
rye Is money so plenty and are our
taxes so light that we can afford to garri-
son Southern cities with thousands Of
men? Were we not assured that the re.
election Of Lincoln would induce the reb-
els to sue for peace? Were we not as
sured that no more men would be called
for ?-that the backbone Of the rebellion
was broken THAT Grant held Lee in his
"iron grip and could take Richmond at
any time? Now that the election is over,
the organs of the Administration coolly
inform the de'uied people that more men
are needed; that Grant is preparing foT
another grand campaign that the rebels
are active, earnest and powerful; and thai
the war may last another year, The
war will last rs long as the Administra
ton lasts, unless it changes its policy
which the fanatics who run the Admins
tration will not permit

THB UNIoN IN A PEr.-The clear, forcible and
convincing letter Of l.. l.. Robinson, Civil En-.
gineer, to the Railroad Committee of the Neva.
da Legislature. exposing the Dutch Flat hum
bug and swndle, has thrown the amiable and
unselfish Sacramento Union into violent con-
vulsions. 1t wrggles like n skinned eel 1t
s.es the hand writing on the wall, and as it
cannot die gracefully. it seems determined to
kick the bucket spitefully. Like the little Ken
lucky bull, it is plucky but not prudent. Cap
italists and Railroad men have every confidence
In the experience and judgment of Robinson,-
the Union is aware Of this fact,-and it there
fore fears. and not without reason the fatal
effect his letter will have on its pet route. The
Union asserts that Judah recommended the
"hopeless Dutch Flat route" and Robinson as.
serts that he did not; and the jatter brings
conclusive testimony to sustain his assertion.
The Union says Under date of July ] lSG3,
we hnd an elaborate report from him Judah
describing four other routes recommending
the one which H. l.. Robinson now saws he was
opposed TO. We here have the tcsti
mony Of the man himself in the most authentic
FORM Ii other evidence is wanting to prove
that this statement is more damaging TO its
author than any one else, it can be produced
from an abundant store" The Union produces
no Testimony of the man himself" it quotes
not single word from his elaborate report;
and 1t the evidence ia so abundant" II is a
little remarkable that the Union neglected TO
produce any Of it. 1t may be as the Union
says. but It will require something more than
the Unions bold but unsupported assertion TO
convince the public Of the fact. The Union
admits that Judah went to New York and sold
out bis stock in the Pacific Railroad, which
goes far to confirm Robinson's statement that
be regarded the Dutch Flat route rs hope
less one." Why did he quit the service of a
Company which gave him 100000 of their
FIRST mortgage bonds" and dispose of those
bonds as speedily as possible? The irresisti.
BILE conclusion is, because "he opposed the To-
cation OF the route as it now exists" his exam
ination of it having convinced him Of the fact
shat 1t was a hopeless one. His reputation was
a. stake, and he would not. even for an cxtrav
a2ant salary, sacrifice lis reputation bv sane.
tioning humbug. Judah would not have left
the service of company which had treated
him so generously and were anxious TO retain
him, had he not been perfectly satisfied of the
impracticability of the route upon which they
located the road.

PREDICTION VERIFIED. Henry Clay pre-
dicted that when Abolitionism became
successful it would be followed with all
the violent prcjudices. imbittered passions,
and implacable animosities which ever
degraded or deformcd human nature; that
one section would stand in menacing ard
hostile position against the other; the
collision Of opinion would be quickly fol-
lowed by the clash Of arms; and the re-
suit would be "desolated fields, conilagrat,
cd cities, murdered inhabitants, and the
overthrow Of the faircst fabric Of human
government that ever rose to animate the
hopes of civilized man." Has not his
gloomy prediction been fearfully verified:
All over the South are "deSolated fields,
conflagrated cities and murdered inhabi-
tantS," caused by the fell spirit Of Adolf
tionism in its insane effort to overthrow
the fairPst fabric Of human government
that ever rose to animate the hopes Of
civilized man." and to erect on its ruins
''new nation" to show the superiority
Of the black over the white race!

game in kentucky by Selling the hogs

nothing. 1t was necessary to do so to

CONDITION OF OUR PRISONERS. pa

to understand that they are fair sample
Of the whole; when the fact is, and it is
an important one, that the Administration

same stories of hardship and cruelty in
reference to our treatment of their men,
and they say that 1T Of them died on
board the last exchange steamer. The
truth is, the situation Of prisoners Of war
is not particularly agreeable and healthy
anywhere. and TIE reproach Of all good
men viii rest upon Lincoln for the need
less sacrifice Of so many good men, by
refusing the equal exchange the Confed'
crates offer. Our prisoners at Anderson
