What is the aspect of affairs? “Watchman, what_of the night?’ Two years has war waged in our country with destructive effects. The South, divided at the outset, has become, by the terror of punishment, by confiscation, conscription, and compulsion, to take Confederate scrip, interested in and compelled to become a unity, whileiithe North the Democratic party divides public sentiment, produces distraction and furnish~ es a powérful ally to rebellion, Considering the time necessary to marshal armies equal to the occasion, and build thé numerous mailed monsters that the exigencies of the crisis require, considering the large number of doubtful Union men who have sought and obtained commands in the loyal armies, and the extent of the empire to be subdued, the Governinent .has done much., We can see Herious gains in territory, the grand material both inthe army and navy for future renown, and the slow rising to command of those officers who can dé trusted with the destinies of the country. Buta an evil houwm-when the strength is gathered a deadly blow, when. the righteous thunderbolt is forged and ready to be hurled against the eremies of the country, the hydra of sedition rises the North, in the shape of the Democratic party,:and hisses ut the Government. In the death struggle of the nation that party talks of the constitutional rights of rebels and the unconstitutionality of the attempts of the nation to preserve its existence.— While the rebels are allowed all their powers to throttle the Government, the Democratic party is aiding by tying the hands of the mation. The. South is given liberty to let loose her dogs of war, while the Democrats would hold ours in the leash or turn them upon ourselves till Liberty presenta the spectacle of being toru by her own hounds. The whole North is intected with sedition. They tell us that nothing will allay it but military, succesa. But can success be ex~ pected when the insidious enemy to hope and discipline is creeping ito the army day by day? The feeling in the North is rapidly disheartening and demoralizing our forces, rendering them unfit for service. ~ The country isin a strait indeed. Alas, poor Country! patriotism is the exception and selfish partisanship the rule. The best minds iwthe nation tespond, The President has not the viger of will the times demand. They know it, and turn to see the coming man to save the Republic. The impression is gaining ground daily, and it is useless to disguise the fact, that if more unity is not produced ere long among the people of the loyal States, the only hope for the salvatien of the integrity of the nation is for some mighty genius to arise who shall say to President, Cabinet, Congress and Courts: “stand ngide till T crush to powder with the legions of Freedom, North and South, all the enemies ef the nation.” The time may come when all this will be realized. —_—— te INSANE ASYLUM —There: were 416 pas tients in the California Insane Asylum on the Ist of December, 1861, and> 301 were ad.« mitted duting the vear—making the whole number ‘treated, 717. > Of these, 141° were diacharged, 95 died, und 12 eloped—leaving 499 patients in the Asylum on the Ist of last ‘December.
