A all the l'.ttle one-horse Radical papers take special delight in deriding tho war record uf tho Democratic par ty, we have taken the pains to look up a few facts, which show that of the 2,078,907 volunteers who fought on the Union side, 1,001,027 came from Dem ocratic States. Wo find that Kentucky the very hot-bed of Democracy fur nished more Union soldiers than Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecti cut, Minnesota, Iowa or Kansas.

Our Republican frionds charge that the Democrats and Greenbackers are continually making war upon banks, and that it will have the effect of driv ing capital out of our country. There is no sense at all in this charge. VYe do make war ujion national banks, and expect to keep it up continually, but the abolition of the national banks and tho repeal of the national banking laws will in no way disturb the private bank' ing houses. Private banks issue no notes ; they do business on such money as may be in circulation. The national banks issue their own notes, and draw interest on tl eir promise to pay. These are the banks wo are after. They must give way to the Government, and let it issue its own money, and legislate for its distribution and circulation.

I have gone over th! rcat I o ly of wlo it country in sovomt dir;ctionc, and havo climated It carefully by townships, by section and by acres, and having left out a fair proportion for rouh land suitable only for graz ing purpose), and estimated the wheat at h low average for that country, find tho ultimate capacity of these groat plain, for tho prodjeti m of wheat.to bo lull y 100,0u0,000 bushel por annum, i arming has but jut commenced In thi country ; yot, last year t'loro wa 1,000,000 bushel of urplu, and to show tho capacity of tho oll, it 1 only necemury to stato thut It U not uncommon for largo fluid to average forty, Cfty.anJ even sixty buheU xt acre, In some Instance one hundred buihcl per acre have been grown. Tiil ylold may seem lncredUabli; to many, but novorthelc it U a fict, and wh it t more remarkable, there ha not been a failure of a crop for twenty years, where the land hai been put la prop er cultivation, nnn seeded in good eaon. Another very remarkable fact about llio soil i that tho same field have projucod uniformly tho same groat crop for twenty year In succebu without any fetiilir-ation. Thi led to an anallzition of the tod which h w It i t i ba cjnipoied of the very clement tbt will produce the most perfect crop of wheat in auundanco nnd In unlimited succes sion. The soil i very lately md up of volcanic ashes und carbonate f lime, the proportion bclngalmoHt the same a the great wheat field of C.iili, and the Island of Sicily, and the country bordering on thebay of Xaple, which ha been the granary f t the South ern Europe fjr age, and has furnish ed Rome with wheat for mora than 2,003 year. theo UcU , with u mild and healthful cllmaU. render this country of great co-iimi-rclal import ance.

In this brief article I shall but glance at the mineral wealth of the northern part of this country, where there are great deposits of lead ore go pure that tho In.di.Yn9 at times ham mer It out Into ballets, and In every tjn of it thero I more or les silver.
