Tlie war just c'osoj, remarks the Boston Courier, in a sensible an l patriotic editorial does undoubtedly furnish anew point of de parture for political purtiei in the country. It is an event to date from. A change hai come over us which cannot he ignored, and ■which will make itself more and more felt. American politics, twenty-five years before the war, were not such serious matters as they are dsstined to be hereafter. Doubtless, many vital questions divided the paities of that day, but our great political struggles and contested elections were rather regarded as iubilant occasions, breaking in pleasantly on the ordinary varieties of life. Whatever the result, no clanger was apprehended. The exercise of repressive force was no where needed. The Federal tax-gatherer was a personage yet in the womb of time. The question of how to dispose of surplus re venue oftenest caused perplexity. The nation was wholly without anxious responsibilities. Its forehead was not cor rugated with a single care. It grew aucl bourgeoned in a singular manner. The prin cipal qualification of a politician was an in definite power of articulating atmospheric air so that he could make himself audible to the vast crowds who frequented the politi cal gatherings, for amusement and excite - ment as much as for anything else. The principal incitement in politics was the greed of office. Our public treasuries were all over flowing, and anj body who could thrust his hand in did it without compunction—it was a kindness to help deplete Uncle Sam’s use less hoards. We were, in fact, in the phras eology of Artemus Ward, “a gay and festive people.” We surveyed with wonder the frequent perplexities and imbroglios to which the old nations of Europe were sub jected. We regarded them all as the results of vicious systems of government. Our governmental machinery moved as harmon iously as those golden hinges on which Mil ton makes the gates of heaven turn. In fact we looked from our fancied vautage ground of perfect security across the water upon the vicissitudes of the various European govern ments with mingled pity and contempt. The art of government was with us an art for which everybody on this side of the Atlantic was born qualified by a certain natural in spiration. Undoubtedly we enjoy the good luck to have at the era of what we are writing a number of really great' statesmen, born leaders and guides. How much of our long immunity from grief and trouble was due to their wisdom we cannot now tell. At length our good fortune rendered us wanton. In the absence of a powerful neighboring State to fight with, we began to cast about us for grounds for a sectial quarrel. So true it is a: Montesquieu says, that a powerful nation in the absence of a strong neighbor to contend with w ill finally fail out wiih itself, and commit fratricide oil a large scale, rather than not imbrue its hands in blood at all.— Our great men warned us of the troubles we were creating for ourselves, but to no pur pose. At, length the cruel war which they had foreseen with trembling and dismay, came upon us. They had not been mistaken as to the pro portions which the struggle would assume. Dreadful aud sanguinary as it proved 10 le, it is past, thank God! But it has left us a changed people, loaded with burdens and responsibilities to which we never expected to be subjected. Henceforth the administra tion of the Federal Government will in all respects be a serious business. We have passed our majority ; we have sprung, as it were at a leap, to the perplexi ties and cares of an old government. Our territory is continental. Our chief cities are approximating the largest of ihe old world in population and magnitude, and the ques tion of income, of ways and means, is as pressing to those entrusted with the man agement of the Federal finances as it is to similar officials in tax-burdened Austria, France and Eugland. If we never had be fore vital questions to divide ns politically, we have them now. If it did not matter formerly whether our public men were trained in the political science of the age it matters new. Something beside partisan claptrap speeches tor buncombe must go hereafter to the stock in trade of our poli ticians. Oar leading public men must be states men iu the European sense of the word; they must be thoroughly at home in political economy and pmblic ethics. It is a gratify ing sign, and ol' good augury, to note reflec tive spirit on the subject of government which is abroad in the land. Such public ists as DcToequeville and John Stuart Mill are now generally and carefullj* rend. Mill’s little work on “Liberty" is of inestimable value in this latitude. His large work on “Political Economy” should form part of the library of every man who aspires to political influence. Tue crude, blatant politicians of other days will prove nuisances hereafter,, to be abated as quickly as possible. II iviug tlieu undoubtedly arrived at anew politinal era, old parly 'questions will he found to have grown effete for the most part under the new order ot tbiugs*. We have fouud what sectional strife means, in its full est and direst significance. We now know that he who foments such strife Is a man slaughterer in intent and purpose. We have found out that without a wise aud consider ate administration of its concerns the Fed eral government can no more hope to enjoy immunity from disaster than any oth er government. If tbe demon of sectional sin lias Dot been thoroughly exercised by Ihe war, and whelmed in the waves of the Red Sea of blood which wo have been called upon to go through, then is experience a poor teacher is our case. It will be far better for political parties to strive to out-do each other hereafter in the wisdom sis the measures which they tiring forward, than to indulge in the miserable diversion of calliug each other hard names, and raking up by gones. I’ne political party which soonest exhibits a disposition to conform itself to the altered circumstances of the country, and addresses itself with a moderate and practicable policy to the questions which are now instant and demand immediate solution, is tbe best par ty, and all wbo sit cowering over and at tempting to blow into flame again tbe embers of tbe past are the enemies of the Union, whatever name they may elect to be called by. - THE WIRZ TRIAL. Illness of the Prisoner. A\ hat the Defense Ex pect to Drove. This trial has been progressing for several weeks and an immense volume of testimony has Leen adduced going to criminate the accused. Within the past few days bis health has broken down and his nervous system became so prostrate that he has been unable to attei and the court. Last w T eek while beiug conveyed from the court room to the prison, he was met by an infuriated woman who attacked him with an umbrella and brickbat while under the protection of guard. The woman lost a son at the Ander son prison camp. A Washington letter furnishes the follow ing : The trial of Capt. Wire progresses very slowly. Uuless it is speedily concluded, the probaDililies are that the prisoner will go to receive his sentence before a higher tribunal. To all appearance, Capt. Wire is slowly dying. He suffers great physical paio, and he grows weeker every day. He is now unable to sit or stand, and is brought into court in a large cushioned chair, in which he reclines. The court having re quired his counsel to specify what witnesses tney required to be summoned, and to make affidavit as to what facts they expected to prove by each. Mr. Baker yesterday pro ceeded 10 read a list of witnesses which the defense wished to summon, with the gist of the expected evidence, as follows : James Almun, who was Adjutant from July, 1864, to April, 186f>; James Arm strong, who was Commissary of the post, and Maj. Proctor, who was Commissary during the sickness of Armstrong, and could testify that no supplies could be purchased ; Lieut. Gamble, who knows the orders to fire the guns into the stockade came from Ger. Winder, and also that sentries were put under arrest for firing at prisoners ; Lieut. 11. B. Thomas, who knows that all orders came from Gen. Winder, commandant of the post, and that Wirz had preferred charges against sentries 'for shooting prisoners ; Brig. Gen. L. Gartrell, who knows no fur loughs were granted for shooting Union priconers. Dr. Perriman, surgeon of militia, who would testify that the mortality among the militia was as great as among the prisoners ; that the same rations were given the militia as the prisoners ; Drs. R. Mudd and Dillard, that Wirz attempted to pro cure things for the prisoners frequently; Dr. Collins, who could testify as to vaccination ; Captain and Quartermaster Barnado, that Wirz frequently attempted to procure articles for the prisoners, but they could not be procured, owing to the lack ot transporta tion ; James H. Sullivan, who had charge of the blacksmith and carpenter shop, that the lumber was first used tor coffins, that they had but few nails; Emerson and others, as to the search of prisoners, etc. The paper was handed to the Judge Advocate. It will be seen at once that if these witnesses can be produced, and testify to these facts, it will put a very different com plexion on the case from what it has hither to worn. [From the Norwalk (Conn.) Gazette.] The Sammer of 1865. What of it ? It is passed we know. To recall it is impossible. Soon the grateful trees will throw off their garments and scat ter them upon its grave. Not of tins kindly tribute, not of the weather, not of the gen erous harvests which Summer has ripened, net of the welcome fruits it has matured ; nor even of the war-thinned hands of our soldiers whom these months have released to their homes and friends with peace-offerings in their hands, do we now speak. All these, however, make the Summer of 1865 mem orable. In another aspect, one painful to remember and sad to chronicle, these months are, and must be memorable. It is in their bloody catalogue of frightful disasters by sea and land. It is in their black record of high handed crime against individuals and cor porations. 11l this country, where speed is demanded and security forgotten, both by the hurrying traveller and the grasping stock-owner, we do not become nervous over every railroad disaster, nor faint away, though occasionally met with the unwelcome report “lives lost.” We are used to this ;we expect it; we sub mit to it with a composure censurable ratner than commendable. But the collisions and disasters of the Summer just passed are so unusually reckless, so savagely cruel, so wantonly wasteful of precious life, that one’s indignation is kindled and his patience is exhausted. His humanity, to say nothing .of his philanthropy and religion, cries out for the punishment of such presumplion and for the removal of sucli recklessness. Nor have we in this country been free from crime and above dishonorable deeds, base frauds and gross acts of intrigue aud speculation. Our criminal calendar pre serves the record of murders, robberies, forgeries and defa cations Recall the murders of the past summer! Compaie them with former ones! Have not the guilty actors outdone their predecessors in the low brutality of their bloody work ? Recall other crimes! The remembrance awakens thoughts which find expression only in strongest exclamations of indignant sur prise. What unpnralled enormity ! What revolting inhumanity ! What low and fien dish cruelty! And then what deeds of public treachery and wholesale robbery. Never before in the commercial history of the United Slates have there been such enormous forgeries, defalca tions so vast in amount, embezzlements so fraudulent and thefts so bold. The world wonders aud stands aghast. Humanity blushes and hides her head. Christianity can only say “and such is human nature without godliness.” Are men mad ? In their greediness for gold will they trample all rights in the dust aud overthrow the pillars of society ? Are they ambitious for an infamous notoriety ? Shall they be pardoned because they have done worse than their fellows ? Heaven forbid I Blessed now with Peace, bought at a so great, and promising blessings so ricll.to the nation and the world, we must not rush to self destruction, nor plunge into the mire of corruption. May the Lord in mercy renew unto us and fulfil for U 9 the promise made long ago to Israel, the Shep herd Prophet, when he bewailed the crimes aud iniquities of Israel, “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of tiie Lord shall lift up a standard against Uloj.” . The New York Times is on its conserva tive tack just now. Speaking of Tbtfl. Stevens's programs of edification and ex termination in the South, it ssys : “We do not believe that the people have fought this war for the purpose of establish ing at Washington the most relentless des potism the civilized world has ever seen. Nor are they at all likely to regard the ex termination of the Southern people as the most likely means of restoring tranquility, promoting order and forming a “more perfect Union.” If that is their temper and their purpose, Congress may pass such enact ment! as Mr. Stevens demands. Otherwise, we think they will hesitate about It, to say the least.” SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1865. LOSSES OF THE HRAND ARMIES IN 186-4. iCorrespondence of the Chicago Tri! une ] Washington, Sept. 7, 1065. | Casualties in the Great rnmpaigntoftsSl It may be wrong to revive, at this time, the bloody recellections ol' the four years’ fearful struggle for the solidarity of the na tion. Many of your readers may not thaDk me for presenting to their contemplation once more, in a condensed form, the great loss of life and limb incurred by our armies last summer in the great campaigns of Gen. Grant in Virginia, and of Gen. Sherman in Northern Georgia. But during tbe progress of the events of these two graudest episodes of the war, the most extravagant statements and estimates of the losses of our fotcei were made in public prints, that left still lingering erroneous impressions on the public mind. To correct these, even at this late date, I have compiled, from various official sources, the following detailed comparative statement of the casualties in the Army ot the Potomac from the 3d of May, till November Ist, 1864, and of those in Gen. Sherman's army from the time it moved on Dalton until after the capture of Atlanta. I believe correct re turns in tbls consolidated form have never been given to the public. The statement may prove a not altogether valueless contri bution to the history of the war. The part relating to the Army of the Potomac, shows the losses in the great actions of its cam paign; that relative to Gen. Sherman’s army exhibits only the total losses of its great sub divisions. A statistical showing of the losses of the latter in particular actions in the course ot its campaign, could not be extracted from official documents. Its heaviest loss in any action, it experienced in the battle of July 22d, in front of Atlanta, amounting to nearly four thousand killed and wounded : Casualties in the Campaign of the Army of the Potomac, Under Lieutenant General Grant, from May 5, 1864, to November 1, 1864.

I think the total of sixty four thausand killed and wounded was about one third of the aggre gate force under Gen. Grant’s command (computing the original strength of the army when it left Culpper, and reinforcements seDt to it) in the stated time. The loss in the Wilderness battles was greatest; next, that at Culd Harbor. The unparalleled bloodi ness of the struggle at Spoitsylvania is illust rated by the nnsually large number of killed. Against a total of missing of twenty three thousand, the Army of the Potomac has a set off of fifteen thousand three hundred and seventy prisoners, captured from the enemy. Os guns, the same army lost twenty five and captured thirty-two. The grand Army of the Mississippi captured aud received an aggregate of 12,983 prisoners and deserters during the active opperations ending with the fall of Atlanta, of whom about twenty five per cent, came voluntarily into our lines. Os guns, twonty-six were tukan and sixteen lost by Gen, Sherman’s army. From May Ist to the middle of September, no less than 52,217 of Gen. Sherman's soldiers, besides the wounded, were medically treated, of which aggregate the remarkably small num ber of only 420 died from various diseases. Os artillery ammunition, tbe Armies of tbe Cumberland, Tennessee and Ohio expended together 149,670 rounds; of small arms am munition, 22,137,182 rounds. The Government has determined Io pub lish tbe laws of tbe United States passed within tbe last four years, and treaties con cluded within the same period, in one news paper published at each State capital of the late rebellious States, for tbe information of the people. A bqld and systematic attempt was made at Troy, on Wednesday, to flood tbe town with counterfeit one hundred dollar Treasury notes. Quite a number of them were success folly passed, although it 14 said the notes may be easily detected. ’ PHtGS.
