For obyious reasons it is manifest that the number of stamps to be used during the coming year will show a marked decline from those of last year, which amounted to nearly 216,000,000. The yearly increase has lately averaged 19,000,000. It is estimated that the number required for the fiext year will reach two hundred millions —thus throwing Off the usual increase, and sixteen millions in addition, on account of the seceded States. . Over ten millions of the various denomi. nations have already been furnished to the Government, and the manufacturers are producing them at the rate of 1,300,000 a day.

They are fighting for an object of realim‘nertance. If they were to fight at all, now is thet ‘time, and they have received for many years pasta series of provocations of the most exasperating kind. o advise ‘brave and high spirited men td permit, or not to resist the forcible, wrongful destruction of institutions to which they rightly attach the highest Value, onthe ground that itis extrethely difficult to maintain them, is what men who recognize theclaims of courage and spirit ought to be loth to do. That tbe North has tight onits side there can be no doubt. That it has sustained grievous wrongs and insults, is equaily plain. Surely it is rather a qrestion for them than for us, whether there is a reasonable prospect cf redressing those wrongs by the force of arms. A ration, !:ke an individual, may easily overrate difficulties. Itis by no means clear that the tone of the South will bes? haughty asit is at present, or that their determination to resist, will be unanimous after they have fet . the weight of the Northern army. There is ro doubt a superabundance of the very fiercest kind of talk and of protestations of unflinching eohstaacy ; bni it by no means . follows that it would survive the horrors of i battles and sieges, and the awful p~espect of scrvile insurrection. Atany rate no one can know whether it will or not until they try.
