The Programme of Gen. ScOtt--Why al
Imm edjate Advance is not Desirable.

To THE EDITOR OF THE New York TINES; -
Ignorant persons are constantly blaming the
eminent Chief of our armies for diatoriness
in not directing an advance of our forces in
Virginia.
1t is not with a view of defending his ac-
tion (Which consider far above the criticism
of any man in the land but in some sort to
quiet the minds of the people of the country,
now restlessly determined on some new ex-
element, that l venture the following re-
marks.
A battle is not an end, but means II
the end can be gained 10y any other process,
good soldier spares the lives of his men. If
Gen. Scott orders now an advance on Manas-
sas, he will do SO, in my opinion. to quiet
popular elamor and not because it is good
or proper move.
Suppose Manassas attacked and taken; the
enemy, protected by his batteries and his
cavalry. will fal! back in good order to his
next fortified position. This process is then
repeated and admitting that we are victo-
rious in every conflict, the result between
this point and Richmond will be six or eight
battles, in every one of which we will labor
under the disadvantage of being obliged to
attack the enemy in his chosen positions,
with loss on our side enormously dispro-
poTLlOueu 10 Tue ueceSSltleS OF the case.
Let US consider, on the other hand, the ad
vantages of apparent inaction. Gen. Patter-
sons victorious column is already approach
ing Winchester; Mcclellan. with near twenty
tn ousaAd men, is advancing on the same
point. Let these columns unite, and with
Wallace's and Stones, they will present an
affective. consolidated force of near fifty
thousand men, under one of the ablest com
manders now in our service. This army ad-
vancing upon Strasburgh and Port Royal,
and basing itself upon the Shenandoah, will
be in position to force the evacuation of Ma
nassas. For, (if the enemy remains in that
position,) by throwing himself upon Culpep-
per Court House, Mcclellan WILL, while he
has good Ene Of retreat himself, force q
battle where defeat would involve the entire
ruin of the Confederate army.
The enemy is, however, commanded by
Generals too experienced to await such a
eontingency-retreat The Washington army
would then properly be advanced, taking the
direct road to Richmond, while McClellans
army, constantly acting upon the flank rnd
near the base of the mountains, would turn
any position taken 10y the enemy, and force
kim at last to fall back upon Richmond itself
Then, with all our forces combined for one
mighty effort, the grand battle fought, the
victory gained, the back of Secession broken,
our brave army could retire to their peaceful
homes, to boast how fields were won," and
to laud to the skies the genius and patience

BEAsTLY.-The Knoxville (Tenn.) Wing
tells the following story:
One day last week the Southern mail
brought us a small package done up precise
ly like newspaper, and about equal in size
to one of our exchanges. with the usual en-
dorsement, "Browplew's Whig, Knoxville,
Tennessee" and postpaid. Upon opening it,
we found it to contain about half yard of
brown domestic. with blood and scabs on it,
resembling cloth taken from some one
afflicted with small pox. We had it burned
in the front yard of our printing office, after
handling it with tongs! This lie the spirit of
Secession-its mode of warfare-and its sense
of honor. Clever men, heretofore high
minded, will not be long in their ranks until
they will openly justify even this mode Of
warfare against Union men. This attempt at
our death, by the planting of masked bat
terry, manned by the ubiquitous spirit of Sc
eession. entities the cowardly villain who did
it, to the honor of being picketed ia the
deepest gorge leading TO hell Not only so,
but he should be required to make nightly
advances upon the ambuscades of the devil !;
and every morning Of his life, by way of
healthful exercise. he should make a recon-
noisance of the damned, having the entire
control of the guerrilla rebels of the Internal

EDFORs LEADER ;-ln closing up the
Military Hospital at Camp Taylor, please
allow the undersigned thus publicly to re-
turn his thanks to the ladies Of Cleveland
for their kindness and attention to the sick
soldiers. So generous a part did they act
that every luxury craved by a sick apPe-
tiie, was furnished by them, and, in addi-
tiOn to this, they presented to the Hospital
sheets, pillows, cOmfOrters, &c, in abund-
anoe. Many Of the soldiers in the HOspi-
tai, laboring under the mistaken belief
that as soon as their companies were mus
tered into the service they would be fur
nished with all necessary clothing, came
into camp without single change Of linen.
From that furnished BY the hberality Of
the ladies Of Cleveland, sll in need were
provided for. To name all who we're thus
kind and acted the part Of "ministering
angels to the sick and afflicted, would
require more space than your crowded col
umns could well spare, and hence, in clos
ing up the Hospital, which, by the aid of
Heavens best gift to man. has been a
success, would do violence to my own
feelings, and to those who we're its inmates,
If 1 did not thus give vent to their graft
tude and mine to those ladies who visited
the H0sPiJzii Huui Uy THeIr KIH1SIIS=S -

soldiers and to restore them TO health.

why should they be made the laughing
stock Of others. Wenote with pleasure the

EDS. LEADER: While the population of
larger towns and cities are applGuded for
their patriotism in erecting flags to demon
strate their love Of country, the smaller
ones should be allowed their need of praise
for like conduct.
About ten days since, dime subscription
was started by the scholars of Union school,
district No. 3, Twinsburgh and Mortified, and
purchased material for flag four feet by
twelve, and meeting at the house of Capt.
George Pease, with a company OF ladies Of
said district, they made it up in a beautiful
and tasteful manner, finely blending the red,
white and blue, and this day general invi-
tation was given to all interested, to meet at
the school house and take part in erecting
pole to support said flag E. Phipps Esq,
furnishing a pole eighty feet long. Accor-
ingly, at three O'Clock P N. large con-
course of people had assembled, the pole was
erected. and that beautiful emblem of our
national independence was hoisted to its pO-
sition, followed by such an outburst Of ma
tional feeling from that assembled multitude
as would have cansed JEFF. Davis to doubt
the propriety of crossing Mason and DixOn's
line, for the purpose Of invasion Of this
school district at least, could he have heardit
After stirring and patriotic speeches from
Joivah Oriatt Esq, and Mr.. Augustus Curtis,
closed by the singing Of two patriotic songs
by E. Phipps Esq, performed in his most in
imitable style, the company dispersed well
pleased with their afternoons performance.
let me say to every school district, 60 and
do likewise. IshOuld be glad to see flag at
the door Of every school house in the land
It reminds the old of deeds done under it
and the young viii learn to recognize and
receive it as a sign and emblem Of a nations
protection and the nations honor.
Gan hail TO our banner; long may it wave
"0'er the land of the free, and bone of
the brave.'

EDS. LEADER Thinking that you might
like to know what alarms We are subject
to here, and with what alacrity the men
get under arms, will give you the exPe-
rience of last night.
About midnight we heard drums beating
at the quarters of the Rhode Island Regi-
ment. A few moments later the sentry Of
the 2d Ohio Regiment gave the alarm, and
cried out to beat the long roll, which was
taken up by our sentries, and soon our
drum was rolling forth its stirring peal to
arms, and in less time than it takes to write,
the whole regiment was under arms, wait
ing further orders. We had to wait but
short time, when we were commanded to
break ranks and retire 10 our quarters,
which order was soon Obeyed
1t seems the cause Of alarm was in the
FIRST place a beating of the guard drum in
the Rhode Island regiment and the riding
past the quarters Of the two Ohio regiments
Of horssmen on a gallOp, Some Of the
boys grumbled at little at being reused from
their midnight slumbers, but it is some
thing they have got to get used to. Wash

Capt. Mclaughlin, whose hair is as white

a company in the war between Mexico and
the United States. I had the pleasure of
conversing with him about an hour few
evening ago and found him very sOciable
and agreeable company. His venerable
appearance commands respect wherever he
is seen.
Closely following is the rest Of the regi-
menL The Grays have just fled past and
are stacking their arms, having just re-
turned from drilling.
There was quite large fire last night
in the city, opposite the Post Office, on 9th
street 1t was set on fire in three places.
An inoendiary was captured while kindliDg
the FIRE in the third place. The building
was unoccupied, the owner having left at
the time that they expected the city to be
taken by secessiOnists, he being q Union
man.
nnr Regiment received this afternoon a
most spIenuId Gag, given by the ladies Of
Dayton, Ohio. It was presented by Mr..
Schenk of that city. Accompanying the flag
was a short letter with the fair doners
names attached. Mr.. Schenk also made
some very appropriate remarks, to which
Lieutenant Col ParrOtt responded in behalf
of the Regiment in a short but eloquent
speech. Pledging for the Regiment that
they would never do anything to disgrace the
flag, or the cause for which we have volun-
teered to go and fight nor cause the State Of
Ohio to blush for any disgraceful act. After
the presentation ceremony was over, Colonel
McCook proposed three cheers for the ladies
of Dayton, all of which were given with a

cheers for the Federal flag with ''dger."
1t was a most splendid affair. There
were about 1900 men formed into a hOl-
low square; the officers and bands, besides
a number of ladies and gentlemen, in the
center, witnessing the ceremony.
