Significant Paragraph.

We extract the following paragraph
from the National IRtelhyenesr. 1t
speaks for itself: ,,.,. .;
every day brings us additional
proofs that the friends of the President
and his policy will stand shoulder to
shoulder in the fall elections. No mat
t-rv-srnt pers, they have -aesssL
heretofore, common enemy and d
common cause will induce every true
patroit to make any sacrifice to restore
the Union and save the country from
another war. The iron heel of fanatl-
jcism, in its mad career, is now attempt,
ing to crush out the State rights, and
if successful, it will soon seek to en-
tinguish State lines. If there ever was
a time that eternal vigilance was tho
price of liberty, it is at the present mo;
ment. We believe that the soldiers OF
the country will rally against any at
tempt at centralization." ;

New YORK, May l9.-Wben
President Lincoln, in April, 1851,
called for $4,000 militia men for
three months service, the army
of the United States had OIL its
roll $4,000 men. During the
ensuing four years 2,6SS,552
men were enlisted, Of which
2,4OS,1O5 left the army alive; Of
the balance, $4,000 died in bat
tie or of wounds, while lS4,S3O
died of disease. The number Of
-..hil l4.4ruops- 44llizted was about
2,5fJ6,0O0; The number Of deaths
among them were 25l, ,l22, or one
death out of ten. The number
of colorcd troops were lo0.OOO,
of whom 20,9S9 died, OF about
