WASHINGTON, March 23.-The Rich.
mond papers of the Goth contains long
reply, mady by select committee, to the
accusations of JEFF. Davis, in which his
Senators charge that it was he who was
guilty of hardness, ineficiency and want
of decision. They say, with very few ex-
ceptions, every law that he suggested was
speedily enacted. All he asked was
readily granted. On matters which he
charged them with neslecting, he failed to
give them the information requested,
which was necessary to enable them to
act intelligently. e- s,

The Overthrow ofa Government
the Work of Inferior Minds,

The fanatical AboltioDsts of the No tn
sitter years Of preserving labor, have sue,
ceeted in subverting the liberty Of the
white race in their mad zeal for securing
the freedom of the black or inferior race.
The cry Of" Liberty, Fraternity and Equal
ity," in revolutionary France, eventually
led to the entire. overthrow of all govern
mental restraint and the establishment of
an anarchy whose blood. stained footsteps
upon the historic page, the student starts
back from with horror. Fanatcism never
cvokes the higher powers of the human
mind. 1t is SO narrow and contracted, in
its mental vision, that there is, in reality,
nothing great or lofty for the mental pow
ors TO operate upon. Hence, it will be
found in history, that fanaticism destroy S
and weakens governments, never builds
up. Appealing to the passions, more than
the reason, it makes revoluions,bu never
eccomplishes, ,benefoent reforms. Pindar,
in ons Of his poems, very lelicitously says:
at is an easy task for men of inferior
abilities and slender worth to shake a
country from its foundations but to place
it firmly again upon its basis is an enter
prise of common difficulty, of no nstan-
taneous accomplishment, unless the Divin-
ity vouchsate his indu'gent cooperation
to the rulers"
We have an illustration of The sagaciIy
of observation Of the pagan poet in the
men now in power in our own time. For
some wise purpose of his own, God has
permitted the government of this country
to pass for time into the hands of fanat.
ical idealists, who have manifested the
proclivi,ies which have shown themselves
in the fanatics Of all ages to destroy, but
not to reform. The Abolition leaders
have clearly exhibited the truth of the say
ing Of Pindar, "that it is an easy task for
men of infer or abilities and slender worth
to shake country from its foundations" "
Il remains to be seen whether the future
has in store, the development Of that i'm
menss ability which is requisite to build
up nation from the ruins tanatieism has
created ,and whether Providence will smile
upon such an effort.

Four Years of War.

Few persons realize the fact that the
present war has been going on, within
few months Of four years More than half
as long as the revolution,it has been char
aoterized by battles, in comparison with
which the most bloody ones of thlt war
were but skirmishes. The continuance Of
The war is significant comment on the
value of the gift Of prophecy as developed
ia our people. How many in April 1861,
thought for momcnt,of such whirlwind
OF war has swept over our devoted coun-
try Had we realized it how many would
Rave shuddered at the contemplation of
80 much destruction, death and misery.
The revolution, was great struggle for
those days, but WAsEINaroN's whole army
was never much larger than one of our
full corps. 1t was war Of but few
people against powerful foreign tyrant,
and though with small armies the bravery
and endurance of our fathers has made
their fame eternal. The history made by
the United States during the past four
years has astonished the world. Tho
immense armies raised, equipped ,and sent
to the field by both sides, havo shown our
capabilities for military greatness, ,and civ.
en- proof of what we are aud what we can
do when we are once again united under
one flag and pursuing the same great dos-
tiny. This has all been done and still the
military resources of the North have bCen
in no way exhausted. Every town and
oity is yet full of young men, who have
never been tethe field, while there are
thousands more Of the veterans of many
campaigns in our midst.
During these four years oftrial,w we have
become military nation in every sense
of the term. On land our armies are in
vincible, while on the ocean the saying
.tLat Britannia rules the wave" has be-.
come hardened to deed Of death aud sur-
fering, and no longer do tales Of blood ex.
cite our nerves. Men die now by hundreds
On the field Of battle, and 10 crowded hos
pitfalls and awaken but faint thrill of sor.
row. Disab bled soldiers meet US at every
step and arouse but'few feeling of pity or
sorrow and the news of she death Of
gfiends on Southern plains has become an
Jvery day thing Our people have grown
uo worse but familiarity in this matter ha,
bred indiffernce. Under all this seeming
ttsartlessness the memory os' the happy
days OF peace are yet strong, end there is
every reason to believe tina, our nation
having been purged by this long war, will
arise from her humiliation and 90 OH in

sag The pleasant mirage of peace
fades upon tho horizon. All that has
been written, or said, or sung, concerning
the blessed influence which preliminary ne.
gotiations were to exert upon the minds Of
the rebel leaders and, through them, upon
the states in rebellion becomes as a 'rale
that is told,' in the face of the news from
Richmo ond.

with all the fresh impulse which men long

upon which they are acting,and one of the
instruments which they use.
1t would be childish not to see in the
simple fact of the popular feeling which
has forced such change upon the aspect
of affairs at the South abundant evidence
that, in prosecuting the war as the radicals

INCOME REvENUE-A contemporary
sagaciously remarks that "if Mr., Lincoln
could see the published list of Special In
come" returns he would not have so ex
atcd an opinion ol the bouhdless wealth
and resources of the Northern States as he
had when he and Seward wrote the Fourth
Annual Message. In every section of the
country there are found hundreds of citi-
zcns who were thought to be wealthy,who
are absolutely bordering on starvation and
many others who, from their style of liv-
ing compared with their returns must be
on the very verge Of irretrievab.e bank
ruptcy. This poverty-stricken condition
of the country,as sworn to by "ioyal' Gill.
zens, ought to bring serious reflection to
those who make policies and manage the
exchcquer at Washington.
