Lincoln's Calls for Men. Tbe New York World, in commenting on some flippant phrases that are used by some of the Yankee papers—such, for ex ample, as “Who’s afraid ?” Nobody’6 hurt,” &c.—says: These phrases are too memorable and too familiar to leave any occasion for trac ing their paternity or explaining the beating they were intended to have at the time of their utterance. Each of these memorable phrases, when uttered-reflected the feelings and elicited the warm approval of the Re publican party. They prove that in the Presidential canvass of 1860, and for some months afterwards, there was no statess manship in that party with foiecasi enough to torm the faintest notion of coming events. In our judgment, time will show that these men are as politically blind now, in 18G4, as they were in the autumn oi 1860 am) the ensuing winter. But, for tho present, we wish to call attention only to contrast between the light and cavalier manner in which the Republican statesman scouted the idea of possible danger, witli the actual consequences of the election of Mr Lincoln. When Mr Seward was scot ting at the apprehensions of more prudent and sagacious men, and leeringly crying out “Who’s alraid ?” what would his audi-' ence have said if the curtain of a near fu* turity could have been lifted and the dan ger disclosed to their view which has since justified these enormous calls for troops ? April 16, 1861 75,000 May 4, 1861 64,848 From July to December, 1861 500,000 Juiy 1, 1862 200,000 August 4, 1862 300,000 Draft, summer of 1863 300.000 February 1, 1864 500,000 Total 2,039,738 This is the aggregate of the calls for men in only one branch of the service. The navy has not, indeed, been developed on the same enormous scale as the array, but the nurn» ber of vessels purchased and built, the number ot seamen enlisted, and the expense incurred in the brief space of three years, has no paralell in the history ot any other nation. From the recent report of the Secretary of the Navy we compute the fol lowing statistics of that brunch of the ser vice : Total number of vessels iu the service and under construction. 588 Total tonnage 498,000 Number of guns 4,443 Number ofseamen, July lat 34,000 Patriotism naturally enough exults in these exhibits, which so spendidly attest the resources of the country; but they equally attest the fearful magnitude of the danger which *o enormous a strain puts upon the national energies. But do they not still more empatically attest the unstatesmanlike blindness which so misjudged the tendency of events, and laughed to scorn the pre dictions ot those who foresaw what was coming? But our prodigious armies arid fleets ate not merely displays of power, they are also evidences of debt. The fol lowing figures, which we find compiled to our hand, show the various loans aud lia bilities of the Government, thus far author ized by various acts of Cougress: Loan of 1842 $ 642,624 Loan of 1847 9,415,250 -Loan of 1848 8,908'841 Texas indemnity loan of 1830 3,460.000 Loan of 1858 20,000,000 Loan of 1860 7,022,000 Loan of 1861 18,415.000 Treasury notes, March, ’6l 512 900 Oregon war loan. 1861 1,016,000 Another loan of 1861 50.000.000 Three years treaeurv notes 139,679,000 Loan of August, 1861 320 000 Five twenty loan 400,000 003 Temporary loan 104,433,007 Certificates of indebtedness 156,918,430 Uuclaimed dividends 114.115 tenders, 1862 397,767,004 Legal tenders, 1863 704,989 937 Postal and iractional currency 50,000,000 Old (reasurv notes outstanding 118 000 Tea forty bonds 910.000,000 Interest bearing treasury notes 500,000,000 Total $2,775,912,808 All the loans included in this table have not yet been raised and expended, but they are no more than sufficient to carry the yvar through the next fiscal year. But all the expenses of the war are by no means in cluded in the expenditures of the Federal Government. If we include the large sums paid by the several Btates, and by munici pal corporations in bounties, in the outfit of regiments, for sanitary purposes,-and li.r supporting the families of soldiers absent on duty, several hundred millions would be added to ihe enormous total. If we far ther include the losses occasioned by the shock given to business in the first year of I the war, the injury done to our commerce by the rebel privateers, and the wealth which wouid have been created by the men employed as soldiers, the aggregate will swell to a sum so formidable that the party that laughed and sympathized when their leaders so jauntily exclaimed—“ Who’s afraid?” should at least be convinced that they were then following blind guides. But what reason is there for supposing that these leaders possess more wisdom now? Have the fanatical passions and sectional hate which blinded their judgment then abated anything of their violence by the progress of the war? “Nobody’s hurt!” The shallowness and levity which prompted this noted remaik wa re a shocking preclude to the bloody scenes that were about to open under tbe direction of the man who uttered it. The corpses that moulder benefth the »-oil of a huudred battle field?; the hundred of thous ands of brave fellows who have perished in military hospitals; the hundred and twenty four thousand widows that are now applicants for pensions, are a sad and ter rible commentary ou this heedless arid tieartless text. Do such leaders deserve die confidence of the country? Shall its des tiny be longer committed to their keeping? A recent number ot the London Times con tain some very striking sentences. They re late to ihe present trade of Great Britain. They declare that Eagland has never before kno«tn ?uch prosperity as she is now enjoying. They adduce facts whieh coo firm the declaration.— This is truth in spite of the cotton famine—in spite of the idle operatives and silent mills in Laaoashire, For Three Months, $8 P;om East Tennessee. Private letters from Bristol announce the forward movement of Longstreet.. It is said that he passed Knoxville, which is »(• tectually garrisoned by Small Pox. Ths number of troops in the place is very small. Our scouts suy that Thomas is re inforcing Foster. Oa yesterday it was ree ported by Unionists and others, that a fierce conflict had taken place near Knox ville. The tight had continued through two day. On the first days the battle was iudicisive, on the second, the Federals were routed. JSuch are the stories brought in by our scouts. Our readers may judge of their credibility. On yesterda -', two pieces of artillery and three hundred cavalry and infantry cama out from Cnaltanooga and attacked our pickets. Two ol tnese were captured. No other reported losses on either side. The roads about Dalton are iu a horrible condition. Os the ninety prisoners brought in from Alabama, one is a woman m man’s apparel.

Ii is with a species of grim satisfaction that we announce in our columns, to»day, another diminution in the ranks of single blessed*dorn. Ye “elbow neighbor” of ye local, and pleasant associate of ye editor, Harry Timrod by name—poet, dreamer, philosopher and good fellow generally, after suffering lor months all the horrors of that worst of “i is that flesh is heir to,” enlarge* meat of the heart, has at. last entered hia haven of rest. The nervous, restless, jerky, abstracted individual, who was wont to up set our exchanges, read papers for hours upside down, write editorials and tear them up, order big fires oil hot days and open the doors when it was cold enough to freeze the legs on a tin kettle— this afflicted cor porosity, the Fates be praised, is no more- With a number of friends, yesterday noon, we assembled to witness his “final going off. ’ The expression ol Ins face was sin gularly serene, pulse good, and general symptoms not at all suggestive of the blue lines he oace wrote to some imaginary en* chan tress over head: “Ob! take me thence, I would no longer stay, Beneath the sky; Give roo to ciiaat one puro and deathless lay, And iet mo die/’ There was no dye about the poet, yester day, sure. We carefully watched him aa the wing* of time flapped on, and inch by inch his poor mortality began to slip away; but “few Bud brief were the word* ho said." Oace he di 1 complain of his heart, which lie faintly murmured was “like an odd vol ume in the liorary of creation, containing a yet unfinished uie but tins was the only appi >ach to a groan that escaped him.
