The HoRRoRs OF FAMINE.--An ar.
tclo on the famine in Persia, in the
New York Herald, has the following :
"The writer was in India in 1868, and
witnessed some Of tho horrors of the
terrible. famine which prevailed in
Ajmcre, and which, according to off,
cial statistics, caused two millions of
deaths. No sight on earth can be
pictured more terrible than crowd
of miserable creatures frenzied by
hunger, Spectral forms stretch forth
long, thin arms, with the elbow joint
standing out in bold relief, like a huge
ball, and the hands spreading like the
roots Of tree, and demand in shrill
accents the means of life. And such
eyes and faces as glare at you ! Years
hence they haunt you in dreams, like
somc hideous picture Of a madhouse
or n battlefield, or an execution And
if you have courage to- examine in all
their minuti@ these revolving forms of
misery, the most callous heart may
well turn sick with disgust which Is
strangely mingled with terror. In
many cases the victim Of starvation
takes a peculiar form of fever--thc
famine fever His body breaks ont in
ulcers from head to foot, and his blood
burns in the tortures Of a living fire
Better iarth quick though repulsivC
horrors Of the plague than the pro
longed tormcnts that hang in the
wake Of a great famine

proprietors of the Richmond Type Foundry.
We have been using their type for eight or ten

The Richmond Wing says;
"THB RICHMOND TYPE FoUNDRY-We have been
guilty of an inadvertence in falling to mention
that the beautiful suit of type in which the Wig
now appears was manufactured for us at the

So our Richmond journals argue for the
Democracy. 1t is the old story, which we
have had at ever recurring periods since
1861. The Democracy are always dbo'ato
'om great triumph. They never are, "but
always to be blest.v 1t was the elder
Dobson, we believe, in Thackeray's Vanity
Fair--once rich, but hopelessly bank
rupt,-who spent all the later years of
his declining age in posting up fortune
out of his old books of account. The old
man made himself one of the happiest of
mortals, in the possession Of the imaginary
wealth which he extracted from the ingeni-
GUS entries and counter-entries which con-
stituted his delightful task day after day.
The driveling and amiable old dotard has
had many imitators. We have our Dob
sons amongst us, occupying tall and stately
buildings on our principal streets.
They readily extract sunshine for the De-
mocracy from the largest cucumbers that
grow in California, Maine, Pennsylvania
and Ohio. No defeat which they sustain is
so utter but that the liveliest hopes of fu-
ture success are supplied byit.
But the people begin at last to sicken at
heart from hopes long deferred. They lose
faith. They begin to think the Democracy
have played out; and they. say to them
selves "why cling to this rotten hulk any
longer? 1t is sinking by inches. 1t can't
live. We must leave the old hulk. Saure
gu pea."
There is chance now for historian.
A great party has closed its career. 1t
has had its day. It's life is ended-its ghost
only remains. Who will write the history
of the last Lost Cause-consort of the
first? Who will record the Life and Death
of Democracy Let him get ready his
documents and stationery. The Democra-
cy is no more.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1871-10-13
ANOTHER LOST CAUSE.

The recent elections in the North post
pone indefinitely the hopes of the Demo-
crazy. With New York lost to them by
the corruptions of Tammany, and Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio gone beyond redemption
with California lost, Maine lost; with no
hope of holding even their past minority
strength in a single Northern State in
short, with the whole North arrayed in
solid phalanx against party whose crime
before 1865 was treason to the Union, and
whose crime since has been treason to the
Constitution of the Union the cause Of
the Democracy, like that of the confedc-
racy, is LOST CAUSE.
Paralysis has seized the trembling and
decrepid form of Democracy. Palsy weighs
down its limbs, and stiles its life. 1t has
done, in spent career, the things which
it ought not to have done; it has left I'M
done the things which it ought to have
done, and there is no health in it. The
American people have no sympathy for it,
and cannot have. Its tenets and policy
command no support, and bring upon it
continual condemnation. Its war against
the Union came to grief irretrievable. The
war it has been carrying on against society
in the South has brought upon it the frowns
of the good, pure, and humane, all over the
Union.
Its organs in this city are ingeniously ex-
tracing comfort from the crushing figures of
the recent elections. 1t is the only source
from which they will ever again be able TO
draw comfort. On the principle that the
Lord chastiseth whom He loyeth, they have
reason to felicitate themselves in possessing
an unusual quantity of Divine favor; and it
is certain that much more Of the same sort
of consolation is in store for them.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis taught them hope of
this sort when he had removed the capital
of the Confederacy, for strategic purposes,
from Richmond to Greensborough. He
called around him those of his cabinet who
had not gone to the woods, and those ofhis
generals who had not fallen into the hands
of the enemy, and demonstrated on paper
that the Confederacy was on that day
stronger than ever; that reserve of 500,-
coo men yet remained on the muster rolls
who were not then in the army and that
the onerous task of holding so indeiensable
a place as Richmond would no longer have
to be performed. Quod er@ demoastral-
dim. The Confederacy was stronger than
ever. Utter defeat was the beginning o.
victory.
