1--WE LIVE IN DEEDS, NOT YEARS"


A pleasant, cheerful, generous, chari-
table minded woman is never old. Her
heart is as young at sixty or seventy as it
was at eighteen or twenty and they who
are old at sixty or seventy are not made
old by time. They are made old by the
ravages of passion, and feelings of an un-
social and ungenerous nature, which have
cankered their minds. wrinkled their spir-
it's and withered their souls. They are
made old by envy, by jealousy, by hatred,
by uncharitable feelings, by slandering by
scandalizing, i'll bred habits, which, if they
avoid, they preserve their youth to the We
ry last, SO that the child shall die, as the
Scripture says, "a hundred years old. -
There are many women who pride them
selves on being eighteen or twenty. Pride
is an old fashion, and vanity is as gray as
the mountains they are dry, heartless
dull, cold, indifferent they want the we'll
spring of youthful affection, which is al
ways cheerful, always active, always en-
gagged in some labor of love, that is cal
culated to promote and distribute enjoy
ment. There is an old age of the near
that is possessed by many who have
no suspicion that there is anything
old about them; and there is youth tina

SENATORS WADE AND SUMNER.-The terms of
Office of Senator'S Sumner, Of Massachusetts, and
Wade, Of Ohio, expire on the 4th of March
next These Senators are very naturally de-
sirous Of a reelection, and are straining every
nerve to secure such Legislatures in their re-
spectivc States as will return them to the high
positions which they now disgrace. Above all
others-for Senator Wills u has much less
talent, though quite as much disposition for
mischief-these two Senators have been con-
cerned in the detestable intrigucs to which we
owe the almost negative results Of our fifteen
months campaign. Distinctly and avowedly
these Senators have preferred the emancipation
of the negro to the salvation of the Union, and
they have lost no opportunity to express and to
act out their preference They have inter-
fered with, hampered, annoyed and hindercd


our generals in the field by the most cowardly,


malicious and reasonable devices BY the
foulest means they have succeeded In clogging
the wheels Of our progress in the war, and have
made another year of battles unavoidable.
Had it not been for them and their coadjutors
the war would have been over and the Union
restored on the Fourth of July inst More
than any other men they are RESPONSE
BILE for the useless sacrifice Of blood
and treasure in the past, and for the
three hundred thousand more men and Ave
hundred millions more dollars which will have
to be perilled in the future. Practically, and
in the most emphatic sense, they are traitors to
the country and enemies of the nation. From
IL r.. Al


dighams, JEFF. Davis has received aid aud CON-
fort; for they have strengthened his forces by
cxasperating the South and by dividing and
weakening the North. We hope that the loyal
men of Massachusetts, and Ohio will raise these
questions in the coming elections for State legis
iators, and vote down every man who Is pledged
or who intends to vote for the reelection Of
these twin traitors, Sumner and Wade. They
have only escaped Fort Lafayette and the gall
lows because the government has distrusted its
own power and misunderstood the sentiments
Of the loyal people. Let this misunderstanding
now end, and let Messrs. Sumner and Wade
find, when they return to their homes, that they
are held personally and politically response
BILE for their infamous and reasonable course
The true policy Of all men, anti-slavery or con-
servative, is to put down rebellion in the field,
and let slavery take its chances during the con-
fiict. If any questions in regard to slavery re
main after the war, let them be settled when the
war is concluded. Against this policy Sumner
and Wade have arrayed themselves, by dc-
manding that the slavery question shall be
settled first and the Union be cared for after
wards, or not at all. They must be treated

Christian civilization of our land, for our COM
merce, our arts, our schools; for all those
earthly things which we have been taught
most to cherish and respect


The war, then, on our part, Is to be prose-
cuted, to the extent Of our men, means and re-
sources, for the suppression of this rebellion;
and against any hostile foreign Intervention
whatever the government can count on the
unanimous support Of our loyal States and
people. Such is the spirit of the address adopted
by the city of New York at this mass meeting, and
the accompanying resolutions are equally EN-
phatc in defining our position. The city of
New York looks to no alternative but the sup
preston of this rebellion. She stands by our
gallant armies in the fed; she is prepared for
any sacrifices to reinforce and strengthen
them; she approves the wise, just and con-
sistent Union war policy Of President Lincoln;
she urges the government TO close no time in
filing up our armies aud putting the whole
seacoast in . state Of complete defence" and
she knows no such word as fail.


Each of the numerous speakers OIL the occa-
sion, though differing from the rest moro or
less, supports this paramount idea of the
vigorous prosecution Of the war. We submit
our copious reports to the careful attention
Of our readers; and for their more COM
plete information In regard to the late
and the present position Of General
McClellan's army, in this connection, We
give them very interesting illustrative
map of tho field of war around the city of

and while the country is responding to
her cheering voice let us proceed to action.

"MAKMe HIsroRY"-ahe phrase making
history" is with us significant Of something
more than the Importance of passing events.
We not only supply materials for the historian,
but we anticipate, and, in a measure, render
useless his labors. No war that the world has
as yet seen will leave behind it 80 many per-
feet memorials of its incidents and leading
actors as that In which we are engaged. Take,
for example, the letters of our correspondents
from the battle fields on which the great strug
gle for the maintenance Of our institutions is
being fought out. Nothing more graphic pic
turesque and accurate has, we will venture to
say, ever yet been written than these descrip-
tions of the events Of the campaign. A great
deal Of nonsense has been uttered in praise OF
Russell's letters from the Crimea; but this was
because the plan Of sending journalists to mill
tary campaigns was at that time novelty, and
people swallowed readily whatever he chose to
write. But we now know the precise value to
attach to Mr.. Russell's personal observations.
which have always been made at . safe dis
tance from the enemy, ard, for the most part,
compiled from hearsay. This cannot be said oI
shS Wi 10 VI SoiAOpi'oHuOhtos upWH uS Va shAsy
in number, who are employed by Us at the
various points at which hostilities are being
carried on. There is not one of them who does
not daily incur as much danger in the pursuit
of his avocations as any soldier or officer in the
army. The consequence Is that their letters
are more reliable in regard to facts, and GER
ta,nly more interesting in point Of style, from
ri. al
anything that Mr.. Russell has written.


If the enterprise Of the journalist has done
much, photography has, however, done still
more for future generations, so far as the history
Of our day is concerned. To the works Of such
men as Brady will they be indebted for the
most vivid and faithful memorials of the colos-
sal struggle in which We are engaged. Regard
less Of personal danger the distinguished artist
to whom we refer was the first to show that in
nothing to which photography could be applied
was it more useful or interesting than in the
illustration of the events Of the present war.
To the patriotic feeling which prompted him to
seek, almost at the cannon's mouth, an oppor-
tunity of carrying ont this new application of
his art, we are indebted for pictorial records of
the campaign, the value Of which cannot be
sufficiently estimated. When we come to have
school of historical paintings branch in
which we arc now lamentably defcient-these
pictures of Brady's will serve to make the for
tune and fame Of some American vandermeulen.


Apeople who not only enact great deeds, but
inscribe them ineffaceably in the Book of Time
as they move along, may well arrogate to them
selves the title of 'history makers" We do
not build pyramids to convey to postsrity dim
visions Of our greatness. We do better: we
preserve for them files of live newspapers and
the sun pictures Of Brady.

THE GREAT Issue Is'qslE Next CoNaEEssoa
AL ELEcr0Ns.-The great issue in the next
Congressional elections will not be the slavery
question: nor tariff, nor taxation; for these are
now dead issues. and ore disposed of or swat
lowed up by the war. The issue will be the
vigorous prosecution of the war; or its obstruc-
tion and defeat When the battle Of Fort Sum
ter took place 1t was calculated that the war
would be brought to q successful termination
by the expenditure Of six hundred millions OF
dollars, and by far less of human life than it has
already cost But as to the grand practical
result. we are, apparently as far as ever from
its accomplishment. What is the cause! The
interference Of the Jacobin committees in Con.
gress with the management Of military opera
tions, the revolutionary ideas promulgated by
the abolition leaders, and the public p'under
and corruption accomplished by the direct aid
Of the radical members Of Congress, or by thcii
guilty connivance.


Had the conduct of the war been left TO the
President and the generals it would have been
ended long since. But the objects Of the ra
deals were spoils and the abolition Of slavery,
and their idea was to protract the war and in.
crease the expenditure OF blood and treasure.
IN order the better to accomplish their objects,
while the grand object of the war-the Union a.
IL was and the constitution as it is-was to be
baiiled and defeated. in order that the radicals
might retain their political ascendency In the
Northern half of the discovered repub c.


This, therefore, is to be the issue at the next
elect'ons and the Wades and Wilson's, Love
joys and Summers must be rebnked by the
public as unfaithful to their trust, and better
men must be sent to the councils of the nation
Meantime 1t Is to be hoped that tho war will
soon be brought to successful issue. the Pre-
sident and the generals beng freed from the
perntcious influence of the radical members Of
Congress, who sxtorted from Mr. Lincoln many
thiHgs to which he was opposed, because they
held in their hands the purse strings OF the No.
ton, and the war could not be carr cd on un ess
