Wo learn from authentic sources that the Yorses of the German armies during the present war have Leen far greater than the popular estimate, however high that may have rated them’; 80 enormous, in fact, that the Government has not dared to tell the number, fearing that the announcement might cool the martial ardor which now ani- mates the German people, and induce them todemand peaco if only for the sake of put- ting an end to the slaughter. It may be Moubted whether in our day the terrible seeret will be permitted to leave the archives of tho Prussian War Office, As the PrussiansShave generally beon the attacking party, and their noedle {an proves to Le an inferior weapon to the Chaseopot, much of this loss has been inevi- table; but some of it must also be attributed to the rashness of headstrong and excitable Generals, like Von Stersterz, who was dis- King Wruttam for wantonly sac. ng his troops, and will probably never be permitted to hold an active command in the field again. For weeks after the battles around Metz and Sedan, the stench of the de- composing and half-buried bodies of men and ‘Snimals poisoned the air and drove away the tourists caer to explore the ficlds of such stupendous events, Tho slaughter would undoubtedly hftve been much less had the war been conducted with the precision of the old-fashioned echool of generals ; but the same results would not have been obtained, and we have the author- ity of Gen. Smenrpan for saying that the pushing process, as illustrated by the Ger. man commanders, considered from a military and not a humanitarian point of view, was the only one that would answer, Whether a short, decisive, and bloody war is morally worse than a protracted one involving a comparatively slight loss of life, is a question which cannot fairly be put to the Germans In the present instance. ‘They were practi- rally the attacked, and, many will aay, had Jong been the menaced party, and had the right to evd the contest in the shortest pos- aible manner, Rather let the blood of the tens of thousands of slaughtered Germans and Frenchmen who sleep beneath the soil of Alsace and Lorraine rest upon the head of the wicked instigator of the war. King Wirt1aM is said to have been affected to téars when he heard of the necdless loss of life in Von StinmEt2’s corps before Metz; Dut we have yet to hear that Lovrs Naro- LEON has exhibited emotion over any graver cause than his own downfall or the hum lia tion of France. SRS SAE Laying Pian: Tt has been remarked by keen observers of haman affairs that the most successful men In either business or politics are not those elaborate schemers who lay out far-reaching plans and base their expectations of success ‘upon the result of complicated manceuvres. In commerce, where one daring speculator makes a fortune by following out a combina- {on of ovents unforeseen by his competitors, ® hundred who attempt the same thing are rulned. Politicians seldom attain the high. est dignities or achieve lasting reputations Dy wire-palling and management. It is the honest, plodding merchant who, little by Aittle, amasses weath and keeps it; and it is the really useful servant of the public, giv- Ing all his energies to doing well the tasks {ntrusted to Lim by his fellow-citizens, who, step by step, is promoted by them to eminent station. Planning and contriving goes but little way in affecting the destinies of life, sompared with steady indusiry. ‘Tho fact is that law reigns in the world much more widely, and at the eame time is mach less thoroughly unde tommonly supposed. stood, than is The schemer is right im reckoning upon certain o invariably Sowing certain causes; but is mistake lies to suppor ™® that he kaows all the causes that aro at work 2" the matter in which he Interests binaelf, ae For orample, a deficiency in the prowetion ef any article of 1 use tends to enhan”” the price of that article in the market; but ho who, knowing or foreseving such a warcity, it, dovs so at tho ris ntering another teadency which is to diminish a and stimulate the invention of . the politician who relics apon party d’selpliae and invchinery for his advancement, may suddenly find’ himself overthrown by an unexpected outburat of ronsumpt substitutes, settled when they come up, Nine-tenths of the troubles, the diagppotnt- menta, and the sufferings of life are catised by the insane laying of plana for the future, and then attempting to carry them out. We forget that we aro all acting underthe guid ance of a wisdenr thet~ infinitely tran« sconds ours, and dq leading us to results of which we can have only the general idea that they involved our cternal well-being. It je as though cach private and subordinate officer in an army should Insist on eotitrib, uting to the victory in a battle, not by doing with his utmost skill and strength just what he was ordered to do, but by having a little project of his own, and working it out in his own way. We have one appointed task set before us, day by day, by our heavenly Master ; and if we will only busy ourselves in doing that task as well as wo kuow how, Ho will take care that the grand final result shall be @ happy one, Tho intermediate steps may not indeed be such as we shoubd choose for ourselves ; we may have to endure poverty when we crave wealth, sickness when we desire health, and sorrow when our heart cries out for happiness; but not until the end comes, and the result of our whole life ia summed up, can we rightly judge of the progress we aro making. pevietioaten-—-10 San Gen. Butler's Pro= gramme. Gen. BuTLER declares that the discredited Administration of Gen. Grant can only bo saved from final destruction by going to war with England, if that power should decline to surrender the North American colonies to the United States as an equivalent for the Alabama claims, Not that Gen. Burire cares about the outraged rights of American citizens. To these he is indifferent; but the dilemma in which Grant's follies and crimes have placed the Republican party is, in his opinion, so desperate that nothing can save it from dissolution excepting a war issue with Great Britain, ‘The unprincipled nature of Gen. Berurn is fully demonstrated Ly this shocking propo- sition, War is tobe mado with England, not as @ matter of justice to the Alabama claimants, but asa partisan device to gain votes for a bad President whom the people have resolved to repudiate. If Gen. Buren were not more influential than he ought to be, his sentiments would deserve little notice, Bat with his position in the House, especially since the defeat of Gen, Scnenr, and his miachievous influence at the other end of the avenue, his proposal will command consider. able attention Loth in this country and Eng. land, Surely nothing can be better calcu lated prevent a peaceful settlement of the existing difficulties than this blustering and unscrupulous project. Of one thing Granv and the Republicans may be assured, ‘The first man to go over to the Democrats when irremediable disasters befall their opponents will bo Bensasniy F. Butien. Indeed, his gloating over the con- tinued failures of G@naNnv’s Administration in carrying their measures through Congress is nothing but a bid for popularity with the Democracy. What other construction can be placed upon the utterances of a leader of the Republican party who selects this moment of Democratic gains as a suitable occasion to proclaim to the world that Gen, Gran, who gained power by saying “Let us have peace,” can only retain it by making war with England? eee Cox and Grant. The. correspondence between President Gnant and Secretary Cox on the subject of the Mc@arnamay claim, which was given to the public on Thursday, confirma all that has been stated in Tux SUN respecting the cause of the Secretary's retirement from the Cabinet. As far back as August 22, the President forbade the issuing of » patent for the land clatmed by McGannarran to his competitors, the New Idria Mining Com pany, The Secretary, acknowledging the receipt of the President's letter on the sub- ject, takes occasion to argue the cause of the New Idria Company, nnd explicitly threatens to resign if his opinion in their favor is over- rule!, Whatever other grounds of disagree- ment may have existed, it is certain that this of the McGannaman claim was the first to a and that the effort to make the Scere. tary appear to be exclusively a victim to his votion to the cause of civil service reform ust be abandoned. The most unprejudiced reader of the See- retary’s argument in behalf of the New Idria Company, and against McGarnaman, car uot fall to observe ita exceedingly bitter and partisan character, Here are two partics con tending for a title to a plece of property, aud their res} » claims are before C: gress for ad n, As an officer of th Government, it is perfcetly clear that the Sec- retary should have waited patiently for Con somes to decide the matter. ‘This is the v taken DY the Prosident, and it commends itself to comni8 sense as right and proper. Instead of thie, the Secretary is desirous of taking the whole question into his own hands and settling it according to his own notions, McGAnnatay, in his opiniou, is » swindler, and the New Idria Companyra sot of injured innocer Considering that Mc GARRAMAN has had two decésions of United States Courts and gue report of a Cou gressional Committee in bis favor, and thata patent (9 him for this same property was executed Ly President LINCOLN, this is cer tainly a most reckless and undignified posi tion for the Secretary to take.

The Post alleges (hat in the Sixth District Mr. Gam Ler received seven hundred and forty-one votes less than the Republican candidate for Governor. This isa gross error, Mr. Cox had over Mr, Gueevry a majority of 1,893 votes, while in the same district Gov, Horraax had a majority of 1,927 votes. That is to say, Mr. Gawauey was beaten in the district by 529 less majority than the slave.trader’s ally, whom Gen. Graxt bad put up for Governor, was beaten by. This proves that Mr. Gueerer ran largely ahead of his ticket, This feature of the canvass, instead of being a cause for mortification to him, is one that he may regard with « just pride. He ran ahead of his ticket in all this part of the State last year, when he was a candidate for Comptroller; and he has done the same now in the Sixth District, in spite of the antagonism of the Fbet and all the Free-Traders, ———___ Mr. Geornor Witkes made a very hand- some run for Congress in the Eighth District, re- dueing the m of the Hon, Jamus Brooxs much below hi.

In the case nder consideration it was actually stipulated that the payments should be made in coin, In 1800 a convention was celebrated between the United States and New Grannda, known as the Cass. Herran convention, which provide? for the settle ment of all claims of the former against (he latter, embracing those which existed againet the old Co- lombian Conteteration, of which New Granad Ecuador, and Vene: a formed integral portions.
