Repubican government and the age OF civiliza-
ton, congratulates the Middle and Western States
ON recent elections, and invites the conservative
man in the State to unite with them in securing g
similar result.
There are row three regularly nominated can
didates for Mayor of New York city. The Tam
many Democrats have nominated the Hon. John
T Hoffman, the present incumbent; the Mozart
Democrats lave placed in the field the Hon. Fer
nando Wood and the Republicans h>ve nominated
the Hon. William A. Darling. The election takes
place next month.
Tho term OF twenty-one United States Sena-
tors will expire on the 4th Of March, 1869, OF whom
fourteen are Republicans and seven Democratic;
but it is scarcely possible for the Democrats to
break the two-shirls power Of the Republicans IN
that body during the existence Of the forty-hrst
Congress. They have, however, gained one In
Ohio and one in California, but have lost one In
Tennessee, Governor Brownlow having been elect
ed over Mr. Patterson. The Ohio and Caiifornla
Senators have not yet been chosen.
The English trade reports for the first three
Quarters Of 1857 show that that country does
great deal toward replenishing the wardrobes OF
the world. During that perod it exported over
600 900 Yards Of cotton piece goods; 2OOoOo,O ,OOo
Yards of woolen and worsted manufactures; lS2.-
600 900 wards of linen piece goods; 100000 hats;
10 500 900 pairs of stockings; 2,25O,o0o pairs oi
shoes; 100000 silk handkerchiefs, scarfs and
shawls, and large quantities of other apparel val
ued in all at more than $3.50, 900, 900 in gold.
wendell Phillips is out in another letter trg-
ing the Radicals to proceed to the impeachment oi
President Johnson, and to ma void all those
acts of his which Congress may d5clare to nave
been illegal. W. Phillips demands that active
nrominent rebels shall not be allowed to escape
nunishment-that the confscated lands returned
to them under the Presidents pardon shall De
taken from them again and parcelled out among
the negroes, and that the new war cry OF the Had-
Gals shall be Impeachment, Revocation OF Ear
dous and Presumption of Surrendered Lands

ESoL1sHMEN do their best speech making at
ter dinner; and light wines and express trains
have not killed the "good old custom of de-
fning ones position in an after dinner speech.
Lord DERBY has already explained himself in
this manner, and Mr.. DIsRAELI, the Chancellor
Of the Exohequsr. has followed suit at Edln-
burgh, in four hours speech on Reform
and the Conservative party. OF course he
proved that the Tory party loved reform,
had taken up reform, and had treated it
Alright. He said that household suffrage did
not make democracy, as out of four millions
of houses, only about one and half millions
of householders had the franchise. Mr.. DIS
RAELr pitched into the Wings and their leaders
with all his might, and said naught about the
negro. Reform in England is settled for the
time; when the question is reopened, will come
the final plunge.

THE BREAD riots in England may be but the
precursors Of similar outbreaks on the Cont
nent of Europe. Everywhere the poor are suf-
fering for want of employment. Crops are
short, except in Russia and the United States,
and, in England and France, the rising market
for articles of food is already seriously felt.
The wealth OF England comes from the masses
who live from hand to mouth; in France, the
Government tries to regulate by force the price
of loaf of bread. England might escape with
q riot, France would fear a revolution. Men
care not for life when hunger pinches them;
and if they ask for bread and are given lead,
thrones tremble, and the boundaries Of nations
change. -,

IL TREET-sHoorERs, and gentlemen who set
tie little difficulties in the public highways,
wore certain of hitting their mark, and of not
hitting, or frightening to death, an innocent
bystander, their exciting amusement might be
tolerated. General WISE was grossly insulted,
and it is not strange that the son should have
assumed the fathers quarrel. But the merits
of the particular case have nothing to do with
the fact street-shooting must be condemned
by gentlemen, and left to the enjoyment of
rowdies, and drunken bullies, whose home is in
the watch house. There are ways enough Of
shooting, and being shot, without having re-
course to sidewalks and hotel entrances; and
man who cannot be fought in the field should
not be fought on the street.

The great difference between the 10
turns of the army Of Northern Virgins
for June and July, 1862, shows the loss
sustained during the seven days; that
between August and Septembe the
losses sustained in the campaign begin
ming with ffrOyetOn and ending with
Antietam; but OF the 404Q0 quite hall
were stragglers who never rejOined their
ranks.
The difference (59, COO between the re-
turns for June and July, 1868, shows the
losses Of all sorts for the campaign OF
Gettysburg, lasting butsix weeks. There
were many deserters; but the absolute
loss in killed, wounded and prisoners was
fully 10000, almost half the army. The
dinlinutiOn in September Wa owing to
the transfer Of LOngstreets corps TO the
west. The increase in the autumn of
1864 to the calling to Virginia Of every
man that could be spared from North
and South Carolina. The highest nOmi-
nal number in this army was in Novem-
ber, 1854, when IL showed = force OF 1885,
O0O; but Of these more than half g5FG
absent, aud little more than third pres
enr for duty. These proportions had in
deed existed for six months, and cOntin-
ued to the close or the war. It IS doubt
full whether the army when in April it
finall = retreated from Richmond num-
bered, all told, IS, 900 men but the re-
turns cease on the 2Sth Of February,
when there we're still $1,000 present for
duty. The quarters from which came
the troops composing this armg is shown
by the retIrns for the campaign Of An
tietam, where the losses in each regi-
ment are given. Probably nearly every
regiment was at one time or another
brought into action. l found III regi-
ments of infantry mentioned; of these,
there were from Virginia 80, Georgia 81,
North Carolina 26, South Carolina II,
Alabama l6, Mississippi u, Louisiana 9,
Texas 3, Tennessee 8, Florida 2, Arkan-
sas l. At Cnaneellorsville, out Of 12S
regiments, 50 were from Georgia, 26 from
Virginia, - from korth Carolina, Ia from
II from Alabama, 9 from
South Carolina, S from Mississippi, from
Texas, 3 from Florida; but at this time
there were three divisions, containing
probably 10 Virginia regiments in North
Carolina with LOngstFeet,
or S. CAROLINA, GEORGIA
AND FLORIDA.
During 1851 the forces in this. .,sart-
nent varied from 1900 up e 80 In
the spring Of 1862 they Xsst largely in
