" The New York clergy are

Why, there have been many occa.

good time for doing a good thing.
As for sacred cause we don't think
one was ever found more sacred than
that of maintaining the Government

Even DR., Young, ofNew York, has
been 80 ridiculous as to say:
"Never can there be, ought there
be, will there be, SUCCESS to that side

"The Duke of Marlborough won

DIR. RIcHARDsoE's WINE BITTERs.--T great
success of this medicine has been an induce
ment for others to manufacture innumerablo
kinds of Bitters, with which the whole country
has for many years been flooded. The number and
variety that has been offered to the public, since
the introduction ofiDr. Richardson's Sherry
Wine Btters, may be counted by thousands
and not one Of which can be named, that isnow
existing, that was introduced even twenty years
later than the origin of this medicine. They
suddenly appeared, with flaming announce

Company OHcers,

1t should be understood that the ef.
ficiency OF any labors Of the Sanitary
Commission depends mainly on the
hearty cooperation Of all the officers
of the army, and especially OF the
company officers. 1t is their Chief
duty TO attend to details Of every kind;
and unless they are faithful to thia
trust the order Of a General or a Col.
onel are in Vain.
Every captain Of a company ought
to feel himself responsible for
the health and comfort of his men in
camp, as well as for their good action
in battle. Numerous facts which ap.
pear in papers and in official reports
and general orders, show that too ma
ny Of the subordinate officers Of our
army have thoughtit sufficient to lead
their men into battle, without attend
ing to their wants in camp. y
Thisis very wrong, and Of such bad
effect upon the soldiers themselves
thar Gen. Mcclellan, who has fortun.
ately a sharp eye to details, is not
likely to suffer it. Captains and lieu
tenants must take care of the men in
their charge. 1t is their disgrace il
their companies are irregularIy sup.
piled, if their food is badly cooked, il
the men are sickly, dispirited, discon,
tented. Every subordinate officer
should take pride in such close and
unremitting supervision Of the affairs
of his men, as will iproduce in them
that feeling of personal affection and
devotion whose fruits he will realize
on the field of battle. III .%siE
OF course this cannot be attained
without constant care and a good dea
Of drudgery. But then it is as we'll tc
remember that company officers are
paid for just this labor, snd for very
little else. IN. Y. Post.

The Confusion in Warrington Afler the

The Confusion in Washington After the
E Battle.
Charles L. Brace, writing to the N.
Y. Independent, said
What shall we say Of the behavior
of the local military authorities of
Washingtoni 1t is net possible to
conceive of such stupidity or such
cowardice. Ii Beauregard had sent
on single brigade on Monday, they
could have taken intrenchments and
city before night. Everything was
paElc and confusion. Gen. Mansfield
or whoever was ir command here,
here, knsw on Sunday evening that
the army was beaten, and that there
was a perfect rout. He was aware
that vast quantities of the army stores
and ammunition were 10 the rear Of
the troops. thar wounded were strag
Cling along, and that perhaps thou.
sands Of lives, and the morals OF the
army might be saved by advancing
some regiments on the road toward
Fairfax q. Il. So far as we can hear,
not company was sent on any Of the
roads towards Centreville. The sol
diers, instead Of being fed, warmed
and sheltered in the deserted camps
outside of the city, ard thus being
easily reformed into their regiments,
were allowed to straggle about in the
city, having to sleep in barns or on
hotel floors, without food often, except
from private charity, becoming fre
quenters Of grog. shops, and losing ut
terly all connection with their regi.
ments Or their officers. Ur m.
Even the Reserve Of German Brig,
AIDES, whose only hardship was having
walked twenty-five miles or short ra-
tions, was allowed almost to disband,
when they should have been protect.
ing the city on entertainments. Ev.
erythirg was in confusion. For three
days men were looking in vain for
their camps or their regiments, and
there seemed no officer or central au-
thority to inform them.
Had Beauregard pursued, not a
corps or a wagon or gun OF this
fine army would have been left to us;
and Napoleon in bis place would have
been master of Washington before
Monday evening.
On Tuesday, II the midst OF this
confusion, Isaw the President, instead
Of trying to correct it, going through
with his ridiculous pumping Of the
hands of a regiment at Gen. Mellow,
ellis quarters, (as though any true sol,
dier cared for such democratic non,

speeches and remarks which were de-
signed to be encouraging, but which
sounded remarkably trenuious. Sew.

FEthow CITIZENS: The delegates to a Con-

in the cry of Frankfort, desire to address you
in relation to the present condition Of the coun-
try I'd as. ...
None OF us have ever expected to live to see
the spectacle nov exhibited in our distracted
land. The cry to arms resounds throughout
our borders, and in few short weeks we have
seen all over the land the marshaling Of troops
ready for the conflict The pursuits oil peace are
neglected and abandoned, and the fell spirit Of
war has seized almost every heart, until even
gentle and tender woman yields TO the fierce
impulse, and encourages the strife, and the ma
ternal eye scarce ga hers tear the son seigeS
his arm, and rushes toward the field of Carnage
and OF death. .ryT
If this warlke sprit--this terrible energy
A-were displyed in preparing to meet the le-
gions OF an invading enemy, our hearts would
exult in the exhibition Of the martial spirit OF
our countrynen; but. alas! the combatants are
descendants of sires who stood side by side in
the day ofbattle, to maintain the independence
Of our country, and in the approaching conflict
brother is to fall by the hand Of brother.
Can We hope, in this day OF fisrce passion
that our voice, crying for peace, will be heard?
Will any portraiture OF the horrors of civil war
that we can give, have any influence with
those who are rushing madly on to destroy
each other? We fear not. States which should
have been with us. and whose voice would have
increased the potency OF our demands for peace,
have been seized with The prevailing madness
and have rushed 10 arms.-Still we feel bound
to make our voice to be heard with the hope
that Our words will have their influence at some
day, when men shall behold the wasting and
desolation that their madness has produced.
| All the slave States except four are arrayed in
hostility to the General Government, and are
demanding that the confederation which they
have formed shall be recognized as seperate
sovereign nation. The process by which, they
they have attempted TO form themselves into
distinct nation has been, for each state by itself
to declare all connection with the General Gov
ernment terminated Sand then unite in forming
confederation among themselves. @
Our present purpose does not require us to
discuss the propriety ofthe acts of those States,
yet it may be proper for us TO say, that they
find no warrant in any known principle OF our
government,and no justification in the facts OK.
