OUR LOSSES BY THE ALABAMA.

In the course of his great speech on
the Alabama treaty in executive ses-
sion of the Senate on the 18th inst,
Senator Sumner gave the following
resume of our losses by Anglo-rebel
piracy during the late war:
Individual losses may be estimated
with reasonable accuracy. Ships burn
ed or sunk with their eargOes may be
counted and their value determined /;
but this leaves without recognition the
larger damage to commerce driven from
the oeean, and that other damage, inn
mense and infinite, caused by the pro-
lOngation of the war, all of which may
be called national in contradistine-
ton to individual. Our national losses
have been frankly conceded by emil
'nent EngIishmen. / have already quo
ted Mr.. Golden, who did not hesitate
to call them 'EcrueI losses" During
the same debate in which he let drop
this testimony, he used other words,
which shows how justly he cOmpre-
bonded the case lyon have been" :"
said he, carrying on war from these
shores with the United States, and
have been intiicting an amount of dam
age on that country greater than would
be produced by many ordinary wars.
1t is estimated that the loss sustained
by the capture and burning of Ameri-
or e3 ,000, 600 sterling. But this is a
small part of the injury which has
been inflicted on the American mar
inc. We have rendered the rest of her
vast mercantile property useless. -"
Thus, by the testimony of Mr.. Golden,
were those individual losses, which
are alone recognized by the pending
treaty, only "a small part ofthe injury
inflicted" After confessing his fears
with regard to ''the heaping up of a
gigantic material grievance such as
was then rearing," he adds in lnemor-
able words:
''You have already done your worst
toward the American mercantile ma
rine. What with the high rate of in
surance, what with these captures, and
| what with the amount of damages you
1 have done to that which is left, you
have virtually made valueless that
vast property. Why, if you had gone
and helped the Confederates by bonn
4 harding all the accessible seaport towns
| of America, q few lives might have
| been lost, which, as it is, have mot been
sacrificed, but you could hardly have
| done more injuryin the way OfdestF0y-
/ ing property than you have done by
| these few cruisers. Hear, hear T.
] With that clearness of vision, which
! he possessed in such a degree, this
statesman saw that England had "yir.
/ tualIy made valuIess a vast property, >
as much as if this Power had bomb
ed "all the accessible seaport towns o.
| America. - So strong and complete is
| this statement that any further cita
/ ton seems superfluous; but cannot
| forbear addueing pointed remark il

man, Mr.. William e. Forster: "Ther,

are larger far. I refer, OF course, to
the national losses caused by the pro-
Iongationof the war, and tFaceable di-
rectly to England. No candid person,
who studies this eventful period, can
doubt that the rebellion was originally
encouraged by hope of support from
England that it was strengthened at
once by the concession of belIigerent
rights on the ocean that it was fed to
the end by British supplies that it
was quickened into renewed life with
every report from the British pirates,
flaming anew with every burning ship;
nor CAN'T be doubted that without Britt
ish intervention the rebellion would
have been suecumbed under the well
directed efforts of the National Govern
memt. Not weeks or months, but
years, were added in this way to our
war, so fnIIof theinosF costly sacrifice.
The subsidies which in other times Eng
land eefltFibuted TO continental wars
were less effectiVe than the aid and
comfort which She contributed to the
rebellion. 1t can not be said too often |
that fIItl9tuCdt base of the rebellion was I
not in America, but in England. Mr.. /
Gordon boldly said in the House of
Commons that England made war /
from her shores ON the United States
ssyvith an amount Of damage to that /
country greater than in many ordinary /
wars. - according to this Testimony (
the conduct of England Nvtis war; but 4
Il must not be forgotten that this war |
was carried on at our sole cost. The |
United States paid for a war waged |
by England upon the national unity. I
The sacrifice Of precious life Is b1v0nd Z
human compensation !; bIIt there may 4
be an approximate estimate of the ma /
tional loss in money, The rebellion !
was suppressed at a cost OF more than 4
four thousand million dollars, a con-
siderable portion of which has already
been paid, leaving twenty-five hum
ired millions as a national debt to bur
len the people. If through British
the war was doubled in
duration, or in any way extended, as
AN not ne doubted, then is England
ustly responsible for the additional
expenditure to which our country was
doomed and, whatever may be the
inal settlement of the great accounts,
uch must be the Judgment in any
hancery which coIsults the simple
guilty of the case. This plain state I
aent, without one word of exaggera-
ion or aggravation, is enou h to ex-
ibit the magnitude of the national
osses. whether from the destruction of
ur commerce or the prOlongation of
he war. They stand before us noun !
with a base broad as the ma
ion, and a mass as stupemdotls as the Z
abellion itself. 1t viii be for wise I
to determine how this
sarfuI accumulation, like PeliOu upon < 4
ssa, shall be removed out of sight, so
nat it shall no longer overshadow the

GAR --s51 5dt Ia aazr aH
Last night we saw the hidden wOn-
ders of raw sugar as they were reveal
ed to us by q microscope of uncOmOn
mower and great detective alJility,
which will forever set us against all
sweets in teat form with an intensity
of horror such as no man can conceive
who has not been behind 2the scenes.
We saw the living hell in it, however
in less than q quarter of an ounce Of
raw sugar. There were myriads APP
parently, of horrible insects as large as
beetles. and having the appearance of
crabs EFOuF dreadful legs with claw
pincers at theeend of them, joimted In
four parts as with aTmOr, and bristling
with sharp pointed spears, were in
frent of the monster. and his head was
a. long pyramidal form in two joints,
with five finger tips at the terminus
where the mouth ought to have been.
The body was fOval-shaped, and mark
ed almost exactly like that of crab
only on the rims Of an inner circle upon
the back there were twelve more of
those long sharp spears with two at the
tail, and four zsna l1e-lil6e stentacula, ex
eeedingly fine articulation, and no
doubt intended like puss' Whisl1ers to
he feeIers to warn the hinder end parts
of contiguous danger. The reverse
side showed the ugfiuessa of the beast
showed the wOndrOus mechanical
genius of the maker of it. Each limb
was padded by mass of muscle at the
base, which gave the impression of
immense (relative) power, and over the
muscle there was a case Of armOr
through which it showed.
Talk about lively beasts, and they
were eager, restless, raven0us /; always
falling foul of each other, or, attacking
great Joints of sugar, as large inFeality
as mathematical point. With the PIN
chers. attached to the end of each probo-
scis they caught hold of one another
and tore one another, repeating in their
small way the enormuOs tragedies of
Tennyson's primal monsters.
The way these marVels came TO light
was this : A spoonful of raw coarse su-
gar was dissolved in about three times
the quantity of water, when, as with
conjUrer's rod, the animalcules sprang
to the surface, and fiOated there, swim
ming about, and up and down, like the
beasts that wiggle in soft water tubs,
and finally turn into flies milling
mosquitoes, but harmless. the sugar
animaIcules, or ocGGT1ts saccH07'i, the
scientific men call them, were then
gathered up in a spoon. and placed un-
der a glass magnifying about 200 times.
They could be seen, however, with the
naked eye, 10 D6BlH Wltny Out not III

raw sugar there are 100000 of these

HasseI, of LoudOh, found 100 of the in
insects; and DIR. Barker, i 400 in forty

THE srUDENTs' FOTIEG Law.
Correspondence Gin. Gazette.

Special Correspondence Gin. Gazette.
cess a COLUMBUS, April Is.
Some time since, Mr.. Lee, of Della
ware, introduced into the Ohio House
of representatives a bill to repeal the
OdiOus g Students' Voting Law y of last
winter, the object Of which was to dis
franchise young men attending col
Ieges or other Institutions of learning,
because, as a general thing, that class
of citizens persistently refuse to vote
the Democratic ticket. For their un-
reasonable obstinaey, the Democratic
Legislatures of Ohio determined to make
the pursuit of education disfranchise-
ment and disgrace, and eonseduentIE1
enacted the law which Mr.. Lee seeks TO
have repealed. His bill for that pur-
pose was referred to the judiciary
Committee Of the House, q majority of
Democratic party of Ohio has learned
something from fhe results of last IA rs
election, but not enough, il seems. to
induce the abandonment of their dar-
ling scheme to disfranchise those young
men who are seeking an education; for
on Friday last the Democratic majority
of the House Judiciary Committee re-
ported back Mr.. Lees bill, and recon-
mended it's indefinite postpOnement.
In this recommendation, of course,
the Republican members of the eOna-
mittee could not concur; and these
pEUklaLte = lAAAn1IALY GGAJOAts ~ AlAel VIII
be found beloWs recommending the enc
grOssEnent and passage Of Che bin.
Their report is an argument of more
than ordinary ability. It forcibly ar
rays the legal authorities bearing upon
the subject, and shows how they I1ni-
fOrnlly condemn this Democrats out
rage. Its principal point, namely, that
the law sought to be repealed is uncOn- !
because it prescribes test
for one class of citizens more difheult |
and severe than for any other class, is /
with aeutensss and care. AL !
together, it is a document well worthy |
of peFusal, and is all that need be said I
upon the subject. Y. S.
