The Despot.
--The editor of the Chicago Post recently visited Washington.
He thus writes to his journal of the protection of Lincoln from the danger of assassination:

Why would they rather be kicked and cuffed about even by white Yankees than live on terms of perfect equality with their own brethren?
Give us the philosophy of that, oh, Abraham!

The forces operating in these several departments, according to the latest official returns, amount to seven hundred and seventy-five thousand three hundred and thirty-six men, officers and privates, fully armed and equipped.
Since the reception of these returns at the official bureau, this number has been increased to an excess of eight hundred thousand, and it is added that when the different quotas are filled, the armies now in the field will number a million of men.
Mr. Stanton says that the middle department, comprising the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware, and the Department o
