A divided country; the sacrifice on onr pirtofa quarter of a ruillior. of men; a public de'it of a thou ind millions of doll im, and jrind: in taxation in tlie prefect and in the future, briefly tells the story. ""' ' " During the present dynasty there haa been no exhibition of statesmanship, of eaecntive ability, or of generalship, and the failure at Fredericksburg removes the last vetige of faith nd confi dence in the ability of the Adrain'stration to iirce-&fuUy eope with the difficulties of the nation in the future. To use a cant phrase of the radicals, the "life of the nation" has been well nih crushed out by Abolitionism. The strength and re.ources of the country are rapidly aud use lesSy fritted away, aud to-diy the rebellion appears more formidable than it -has at any period since fts beginning. And the rvason U evident. The destiuiea of the nation are controlled by a prtyr n Adminiftntion, incompetent to the task.' and, as the resulü show, incapable of govruing it. How Ion; will the people submit to auch a state of afTiir to a policy linke! with disaster, and which promi.-es only the shipwreck of tlie nation? ...

The army has become such consummate drinkers that General liutler .,.t j nl.r f..r,;,t.t;.,r, at,v r-Mminl, ! t-ioned ofiicet in his division from drinking in public bar rooms. The order is in effect like Lincoln's emanci; ation. proclamation out of his beat. Houes of wore repute than gambling hell.- are also eaid to derive their chief support from the army. The que-tion will arise in your mind, where does all the money tome from? It i obtained in many ways other th in by honen toil in the service of the country.

The New York Herald thus describes, the present condition and prospects of the country: What is the state of the country ? What are our prospects? We are approaching the end of the second jenr of t lie war; the Government has eipended over a thousand millions of money; two hundred thousand loyal soldiers have been saert fired in tlwir heroic devotion to the Union cau-e; we have, in round number?, an army of a million of men in the field, a navy numbering between three and four hundred vessels of war, and employing , thirty ; thousand men; we are pending hardly less than three millions of dol lars a day, and, w hile a bill ptovidiug for another thousand millions of public debt is pending before Congress, our tax pitying people, in contemplation ot all these heavy burdens, and dishe.irt enetl by repeat.! disasters and failures, are earr.estly inquiring,. Whit jireour prospects? ... Under the existing condition of things, we can only answer that our prospect are eloomy enough. We b ite fought many bloody battles; the Union lorces have effected a lodgment here and there in everv rebellious Slate; several doubtful States, by Lard lighting, have been re claimed, mid yet we have hardly accomplished more th.in a break here and there through the crust of the rebellion. Its heart, only one hundred and twenty miles from Washington, remains untouched, and each succeeding effort to rech it has thus far only resulted in disappointment, disa:ers and disgrace. The violent and famitica! abolition measures ot the last Congress have fused all parties and all elases in the revolted States into the party of resistance to the last v " .vv. r, - tremitv; while the late repulse of the most powerful army of the Union has levived the hopes of the rebel leaders in the early settlement of the war in their favor through Kuropean intervention. Theie is everv reason to apprehend, too, unless we ive some heavy :in I crushing blows to this rebellion befote the return ut spring, that Mr. Lincoln will have to meet, Louis Napoleon as :m active ally of the rebels, or submit to his suggestions of ponce upon tlie basis of an independent Southern Confederacy. XV in II. Nevv urd. The position of Mr. Seward in th Cabinet is anomalous Though probably not entitled to tie t-alied conservative, except in a reiativesciise.be h ih i.ever tome up to the deir.auds of the radical, and thei ffore is obnoxious to the more j rog'Cssive or out and out uboliüon whig of the Kepuolieau party. At the same time, his views are supjoeI to coincide on all material point witht'ioseof the IVe-idem. lie then is a, kind of b wrier to the exterior line of works which the. radic ds encounter before venturing a direct assault on the I'le-i'lent. Accordingly, his retention in theCtbinet, br the pteet;t, indicates thit the revolutionists ho are urin Mr. Linc.dii firwarii to the mo-t extreme meaures, are for the time being foiled in their objects, or at anv rate repelled.

The Yankees, we presume, will wait for the arrival of Sijel's corps before they try their luck again. Wh t may he the strength of this body we have no mein of determining; but we feel convinced that it is not -ufliciently jireat to alter the result, and that, alter its arrival, not her at tack shall be.hazitJed, the end will be the same. The general hope here isthat the trial will be made, so confident ate all in the valor of our army and the consummate skill of its creat leader. It seems to be doubted whether General Lee. permitted the enemy to come over, or whether he could have prevented it bad be tried. It seems to us that he had every reason to wish them to come over. He had sc!c;.te 1 his hold of battle, and had thoroughly studied it. as Napoleon had done the field of Au.-terlitz when he fell back thirty miles to draw his enemy to it, and as Wellington ! said to have done nt Waterloo He had nn army full of confidence in themselves and in him. The di-:pnrity of force was not so gre it as to render victory at all improbable, when the composition of the two armies and the animating spit it of each ure taken into consideration. If they weie determined to pass, he could have hardly prevented them, since they had rssession of the lights on the Stair - rd, side and lud crowned them with innumerable batteries. What may have been his motives it is impossible for us. of coutse, to sav, but we understand one nis otlicers, very high in rank, ex pi esse-1 himself in strong terms, anxious above all things for them to come (iter, and try their fo: tunes on the very ground w hich was the theater of the battle M'Veral weeks "go. This is the tenth pitched battle in which Gen. Lee has commanded, w ithin less than six months, and ii all ot them he has been victoi ions. No other campaign except that ot I Lily in 17UG, and that of France in lcd-1, presents such a result. Our people are cheered by the reflection that their armies are commanded by two Generals who have no rival in the art of war I.'ee on the ltappahannock, and Johnston in the South west. They are as superior to the Yankee Generals in every quality that constitutes the military chief, as the soldiers they lead are to the thieves und cutthroats that Lincoln has sent to subjugate them. ---<>--- Extensive Gold Discoveries in Nebraska. E. Creighton, Esq., Superintendent of the Pacific Telegraph Line, returned from Salt Lake City a few days since, where he had been spending three or four weeks. While in Salt Lake he saw and conversed with some twenty persons who had just returned from the new mining region discovered in the western portion of Nebraska Territory, about the 2d of September last. They brought with them about $50,000 in dust, which they had taken out of the mines within a few weeks. This newly discovered mining district commences on Wind river, about 400 miles west from Fort Laramie, and embraces an area of about 200 miles in length by 100 in breadth. The deposit discovered up to the present time are of gulch gold, very similar in appearance and richness to those of the celebrated Feather river mines of California. Mr. Creighton brought about $5,000 worth of dust with him, which he purchased from returned miners, and forwarded it to New York for assay through the banking house of Kountze Brothers, of this city. We saw this dust while it remained here and can attest its superior quality so far as appearance is concerned. It is the opinion of Mr. Kountze that it will assay at least $18 to the ounce. The region we have referred to is the same as that described by Lieut. Reynolds, of the United States Topographical Engineers, in his report of 1859, in which he states that he discovered gold in all the streams embraced within a distance of some 200 miles. It lies at the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, and is doubtless similar in its geological formation to the Salmon river and Bitter Root valley districts, where rich deposits of gold have been discovered within the past year. The miners who discovered these new diggings were returning to Salt Lake from the Bitter Root valley, via the South Pass; and they unite in the opinion that they will prove fully equal to any ever discovered on the continent. The distance from Omaha to the Wind river mountains, at the base of which the first discoveries were made, is about 900 miles. The route is all the way upon the north side of the Platte river, and no stream of any magnitude intervenes except the Loup Fork, which can readily be crossed at any time during the spring and summer, by ferry, at Columbus, 85 miles west from this city. The route is from Omaha, via Columbus, to Fort Laramie, and thence in a north westerly direction to the headwaters of Wind river, a distance of 400 miles from Laramie. Mr. Creighton expresses the opinion in which we fully concur—that freight can be taken to the newly discovered mining region, from Omaha, at ten cents a pound. The Pacific telegraph runs through the South Pass of the Rocky mountains, which is only about 200 miles from the mines. The facts which we hive given above are obtained from sources entirely reliable, and we give them with the assurance that everything we have stated will be verified in the future.—[Nebraska Republican ---<>--- The Resignation of Secretary Chase.

Mr. Pavis is a man rather above the middle stature; of -li:ht but weli proportioned figure; features decidedly handsome for a midJle ged gentlemiu, and wearing a perpetual expiesfion of good humor; of exceedingly pleasing address and graceful manneis, and not without a certain sen it-.ri.il dignity, which siis well upon him. His beul is slightly sprinkled with gray, atid his whiskers are gray; vet he is a younger man in appearance ami in feelings than we had conceived him to be; hi voice soft and persuaaive, yet distinct and full-toned, and he is iu the habit of speaking occasionally an exceeding good thing in a most ipiiet, accidental sort of way. His dress waj plaiu and unas-uming, and hiluggage l i mite I to a single leather valise, w ith the initials "J. D." marked upou the side. At tended by one body servant alime, hi.s mode of travel w is without o.-teutatiou or parade, and I could not help contrasting the PresiJeut of the young Confederacy, traveling securely as a citi7.eu, and incognito, from one extreme ot his native Southern land to the other, aitl.out even so much as a body guard, with the niistrab'e despot of Abolitiondoni carricoling through the streets of Washington, with a file of ormed dragoons each siile of his coach of state, and in constant apprehension of the assassin's dagger in his own capital. The President seemed much interested in the wild mountain see., err along the loutc. and his occasional allusions to the various scenes ami objects of historical interest proved hisfamili ui ty with the geography of Tenncs-ee to be eu:il to his cultivated appreciation of the beauty of her mountains and streams. He expressed h'ni self as much satisfied with the general appeirance of tlie country His reception of his fellovvcitizctis of Tmnessee, at the different vvay station?, exceedingly cordial and hearty, and crowds of soldiers and citizens gathered around the windo . of the cartiage where he sat, when ever the tmin stopped, and proved conclu-ively how impossible a thing it is for a gte.it man to travel it cognito, through as iti'jui.-itive a country as ours. The train reache l MurfiTe--bno' a; night, and the next day, Saturday, the grand teview of tlie troops by the President took place. Perhaps a mote imposing spectacle thin that review his not been witnessed in America since the war fie gan. The teview took plate in an open plain, on the road leading to She bvt il!e. about one mile from Murlieeshoiii'. An immense caincocrse of people assembled to witne-s it. atid the elite of the beauty and fashion of hl Rutherford and the "sur rounding country" w;.s fairly represented in the graceful persons of many of the fairtst of the daughters of the old volunteer State. 'I he outskirts, of the plain w et e bordered tvith people of all a es and costumes, horses atid vehicles of every description, preset.:! g altogether a scene of bustle and excitement that reminded one of Kngland's racecourse on a Oct by day; while the lines ofinfantrv, with waving b iiiners and gleaming bayonets, the supeibly mounted cavalry, and gaiiv comfiarisoned chargers, together with the Generals .-snd their respective corps of staff offieeis atal outriders, it mettled afceds. v rich looisingsind trapping revived old and pleasant reminiscences ot the Chnmp !e Mnrs, and suggested vivid pictures of thegloriotis time of the First Napoleon." The division of General Iheckiniidge was first reviewed the Piesident, followed ty the corps and dit ision Generals, the Brigadier Generals of the command atid their stafT officers, riding dow n the lir e- at full g illop. The General of each di vision rode on the right of the President, and their respective divisions weie drawn up for le view. The men. in open ranks, stood with arms pre-ei'ted the officers saluting and the regiment al bands playing, each hand taking it up in sue cession as tlie cortege pissed. The leginients w ere then w heeled Into column and "passed in review" before the Piesident. As hesat there on his horse, and those gallant, spirits, the heroes of many a eil e ntested held, the survivors of manv a dreadful much and w battle, pas-ed h'doie him to the maiti.il measures of the band., I fancied his ev e to kindle and his features to lighten up with the natural enthusiasm of a soldier when he looks ufwui such a scene. No doubt it awakened within him mem oiies oi hi own exterieine o! the tented field. He certainly looked the soldier on this occa-ion and every inch the President of a nation of war riots. Cheatham's division and Wither' division, with the artillery commands belonging to etch, also passed in review, and thus the ceremony con. luded. The men never looked in bettercondition, and seemed never before to have march ed with lighter step or moie soldiery carriage With few exceptions, they were comfortably, though not altogether uniformly, clad. Their arms and ncroorerments, generally, were iu unexceptionable condition, and their maneuvers executed w ith the skill almo-t of regulars. His. Excellency, the President, expressed hi gratification at their fine .ipi; anee unddiscip line, and crngritnl ited the commanders present upon the efficiency of their lespective comm tuds. The President retl.rr.tsl the next day to Chat 1 1 iooga . from whence he will probably proceed to Mississippi to review our armies in that portion ol tlie Confederacy. Xlic rablnrti The restoration of the Cabinet unity is not generally iteeeptcd as an omen of the restoration either of national unity, or of unity in the ranks of the Hfpsibliciiti pirty. 0: the contrary, the conservative Repubücacji are growling fiercely at the f.iüuie to oust the radicals, and the radicals arc in a st de of indescribable grief over the re turn of the present object of their enmity, Mr. Seward, to position an J row er in the councils. It i left for out.! Urs, who do not Indong to either wing ot the dominant party, to stmd bv and see the nation drifting . to n.in. w hile the gentlemen '-who beh,ng to the partv in noer settle their little (jiiariels and determine on their places and lei itiotiS. 0 Still the Cabinet trouble, patched upas it his teen, is rot without great importance to the country. It illu-trtte. the tetnbie position iu which we nre standing. Mr. Lincoln ems to have been wholly unable to take one side or the other, fe ning the fatal effects to tiie Republican patty which would tesult from either course. He was im. t wihing to accent the support of the conservative wing, even though he knew that it would hrin. with it ihe support of the great eon . serr alive party of the nation. His attachment Io : the radical faction, which is now entering on its last ten weeks of. power iu America, were twi strong to permit hi in to throw them overboard So we drill. along in the old style, for a little while longer. If the Cabinet holds together for a month it will be a curiosity cabinet. Such breaks as thl which has taken .lace are seldom permanently repaired. On ihe Contrary, the old crack remains, and there can be no telling when it will suddenly and fatally reopen. United action between radical and conservative men is an titter imr.osssbdity, except they igooie honesty, and go loge.her for spoils. The honorable men ot tie Republican party, whatever their opinion. must take one or the other nde en the questions which divide the Cabinet as well a the ptrty, and one of tho.e two sides is right and the other is wrong;. Oue is - for tr.iuri, the e.ther for destruction. Two honest ineti, holding . .weh opposite, views, cannot act long together. N. Y. Journal of Commerce The Cost or Tut War.
