How Confiscatio II will Work.

The following brief paragraph which we
clip from letter addressed to TIIAD. STE
VEINS, and published in the Metropolitan
Record, sums up the whole story in few
words, and we commend it to the attention
Of the advocates OF THAD. STEVENS conls
cation scheme:
Il have Eccn ont among the people. to
feel the rebel pulse; aud | will tell you
what one rebel said. just for your private
consideration. lie said that you cannot
confscatc Southern lands, because the rebel
owners would not let the purchasers settle
on them. lie said you would have to send
military force to every single plantation,
to put the purchaser in possessions. And
then, as soon rs the military were guue the
rebel owner would shoot the purchaser and
retakc possession. lie said that confscation
would make gucrrillaS and bushwhackcrs
of the whole Southern population, negroes
included, and no Radical could ever live Il
whole year on his new farm
And why should it not be so? We put
il to you, men of toll, and owners of broaC
acres, aud ask, if your lands and youi
homes were to be wrcsted from you in
similar manner, what would ye do? WoulC
You quietly succumb, and day after day
look upon the robbcr Of your hard carne,
gains, enjoying it, while you were forced t,
poverty and misery-your loved ones, per
haps, crying for bread, and you made al
outcast and an outlaw by the same act tlla
robbed You of your property? Never

The Government.

Since the "late lamcnted" ceased to be
the Government, through what was irrev-
ercntly pronounced the proyidential act of
BoorH, the Radicals have insisted that Con-
gress Is the Government. II that should be
conceded how desirable it should be to the
people to fully understand and appreciate
the true character of their Government!
And how can the people appreciate and
understand if they are not instructed
And who so capable of instructing AS one
Of the ablest and most influential of the
Radical organs?
This being settled, then hear the New
York Commercial Advertiser, edited by the
veteran TnuRLow WEED. He said the 9TH
or day:
ERE the present Congress reasscmhles,
the cyidcnCc-couClusivc and irresistible

was the WORST and the WEAKEST that ever
| left its impress upon our country Inc
day Is not distant when EVERY PROMINENT

|ECRATED. lntuitiyCly, however, 1t pre-
pared the ouly escape from the ruin II VII
Ihave caLscd, by the passage of Bankrupt
Law
The present Congress is so like the las
so large a proportion having been re
elected-that it may be properly regarded
as simply continuance of the worst an,
weakestw And, that its career, on reas
scmbing, will be less infamous and its do
ings less to be execrated, where is there al

country home, after a soJourn OF few months in
the city, was hardly recognized by her friends.
In place OF coarse, rustic, flushed face, she had
soft ruby complexion OF almost marble smoothness

but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause OF so
great change, she plainly told them that she
used the CiTcRssin n n na lm and considered
it an invaluable acquisition to any Lndy'G toilet.

their personal appearance an hundred fold. It is

Such n Government "a that of the United |
States, before Black Republican Jacobin-
ism obtained possession, through failure In |
vigilance, which Is the price Of liberty IL !
has peen demonstrated can be destroyed l
but. to do it, involves q much greater cost
than very many thousands who think
themselves thinkers have ye. comprc-
hendcd.
Take the cost, on the "Union sidc,' as
Il Is called of the war Of the rebellion,
and that which pertaincd only to ono
branch of the Govcrnmcnt-thc war Dc
partment-and how almost incomprehcn-
sible it was in magnitude! lt has thus
been set forth from official sources; There
were, for instance, about eight thousand
cannons and eleven thousand Run-carriageS
utterly used up in the course of the war
OF iron projectilcs, in the shape of shot
and shell, the quantity used was about T.
100000 pounds weight while the amount
of lead consumed Is set down in official
reports at 00OOOOOO pounds. The con-
sumption of gunpowdcr was 26,OOO,OOO
pounds. OF rifles muskets, and other
stroycd or rendered useless in the service,
while over 100000 sets Of complete accou-
trcmcuts disappeared in the same way.
Besides the bulk of gunpowdcr above men
toned, about thousand million cartridges
were consumed, and q larger number OF
percussion caps. These are but few items
in the total expenses Of conducting large
war, and are estimates of the Northern
army only. The consumption Of material
in the navy was great in proportion.
Approach Il you can, the noueyed value
of all this material; then add that of private
property destroyed in waging the war
then the value of the lives that were sacri-
ticcd then cross over into the borders oi
the late Confedcracy, and, in proportion tC
forces engaged, add the value there and
make up maximum, and will there moi
be a pile large enough without including
in the exhibit the cost which thousands
and millions, not ON the surface, have suf
fered, to give q skeleton idea of what {
republican Government, well and wisely
established, must first suffer before Van
dalism can be successful in its overthrow
