Gen. Mcclellan has under his command
at least 200, 900 men, and Beauregsrd
not less than 10000, perhaps more.
It the great battle Of Solferino, the
French and Italians had 100000 men
against 10000 AustriaDs, and at the
siege Of Sevastopol the Allies never
had more than 10000 against l2s, 900
Russians.
1t will appear from this comparison
that the armies which are confronting
each other on the Potomac were ex-
ceeded in numbers only by those vast
armies which, on the plains Of LEIPZIG,
decided the fate Of Europe.

Only yesterday Mr.. Seward assured .
member Of the diplomatic body that the
little affair Of the Southern insurreo'ion
would tlow over within three months I;
the ports would be oil opened, and peace
and prosperity reign.
The above extvset comes from 'el'
egrsphic despatch to the New YORK
Tribune. 1t doubtless strikes the coun-
II, .. being . very peculiar assertion for
Secretary Seward to make. Every true
lover of his country hopes and prays
that the Premier is correct, yet they are
very much al loss to understand Low,
and in what particular manner it can &c
brought about in that length Of time.
There is only one way in which there
is any possibility Of welcoming "peace
and prosperity" in that time; that is
through compromise. But compromise
is out of the question. The South
would want no compromise-the North
would accept none. Then it must be
fought out. To conquer peace CON-
prehends the overrunning OF the South
by the Federal Army, the capture OF
her cities, her strong points, her forts !;
the capture Of her military forces, also
of the leaders in this rebellion; in short
the utter dssarming Of her power
must be accomplished. Ninety days is
too little time for all that work. Even
with our formidable army, our vast re-
sources and our zeal, three months would
grow into as many years before the
restoration Of peace could be accom-
plshed.
Already have We been at work six
months, and have as yet scarcely gained
. point worth consideration, except by
way Of preparation. We have lost more
ground than We have won on the battle
field. Mr.. Seward does not mean what
he Gays. We hope he will inform some
body Just what be means by his predict
ion. The people are anxious to know
how so great good can be accomplish
ed in so short time.

story OF q LouaVe having Deen ASKED
bis opinion Of the English soldiers in the
Crimean campaign. Said he:
"Set them down in an engagement
ready prepared and we'll fed, aud no men
can fight better; but let them get into
misery and distress, and no men know
les how to get themselves out Of it.
Par example, our battalion was encamp-
ed beside an English regiment which
had magnificent uck.goat; the cav
airy horses OF their army had no forage,
aud the poor beast, getting no food,
>lckcncd aud died. At this time the
soldiers he belonged to were without ra-
tons to eat, or fire to warm them with /;
and what do you think they did! Why,
they collected some boards, made cot
fin, and buried the buck. My comrade
and myself, shocked ut such waste Of
good things, took the poor animal mp
that same night; parole d'honnour, we
had thee good fires from his coffin, de-
licious messes from his flesh for seven
days, and Tor the rest Of the campaign
we slept upon his skin, which kept us
from damp and saved us from sickness.
Now, what do you think Of the English
soldier, after such piece of folly as this |!
| have my Cat. carry hum on my sack,
and he comes under fire with me, as you
may perceive from his having lost a
fore foot. love and nourish him, and
he, in return will, should there be a me-
cessity, provide me with two days good
living"

Stay Laws and Appraisement Laws.
We observe that the Gazette has
taken an early opportunity to raise its
voice in favor Of repeal Of the obnox.
ions "Stay and Appraisemcnt laws"
which former Republican Legislatures
fo'sted upon this State, much to its det-
rimcnt, and pecuniary disadvantage.
We are not sorry to see that it has be-
come convinced Of the error Of its way
in this particular, and that it is now
prepared to acknowledge that creditors
have rights which should not be ignOr-
ed; and that debtors are not alone en-.
titled TO all the benefits of State lcgisla
ton. II we remember Alright, that pa
per was not opposed TO the "stsy" and
"appralsement" hobby which was raised
during tie campaign Of 1859, but on
the contrary, leaned somew hat in favor
Of their enactment. II we are mistaken
in this we ask to be corrected. At all
events, the hints contained IN the COM
muulcation which it published yester-
day morning, as we'll as the predatory
remarks, are highly salutary.
We have not lived long enough in
Iowa to see the time when the LegisIa.
ture thereof could find any warrant Tor
forcing capital out Of the market. That
such has been the result Of stay law lie.
gislation none can deny. The rights Of
every citizen should he maintained, and
our Legislators do we'll to protect the in.
teress OF the borrowing classes; b4t
neither swindIing nor any species Of diA
honesty should ever find encourage.
ment IN our legislative halls; neither
should law makers either directly or in.
directly connivc at the overthrow of ouu
State credit. Iowa has lost both caste
aud credit, through the workings Of stay
laws Every capitalist and tradesmar

Blue Mass, and other preparations Of Mercury,
actually produce more suffering and death than
the diseases which they profess to cure.
And yet this corrosive mineral so denounced
BY the allopathic doctors, is prescribed by them
almost universally IN cases OI Liver complaint,
Consumption of Lungs, &c.
THE MANDRAKE PILLS
Are composed entirely of roots and herbs, OBJ
tanned from the great storehouse of Nature, and
their salutary effects will appear as soon as the
medicine Is brought to the test of fair expert
ment. SCHMCKS MANDRAKE PILLS do
not produce any nausea or sickness of the stom-
sch but when given for Dyspepsia, it may be
proper to use them in connection with SCHENCK'S
SKAWEED TONIC. By this judicious treatment
the digestive faculties are speedily restored to
their full vigor and the worst case of Indigestion
may be cured.
When we reflect that the liver is the largest
internal organ of the body that to it is assigned
the important duty Of fltering the blood and pre-
pairing the bile, that it is subject to many dsor-
ders, and that when it is diseased, or inactive,
the whole body suffers alphabetically, it is not
surprising that medicine which can restore the
healthy operations of the liver should produce
wonderful changes in the general health and eff
feet cures which may appear to be almost mirac-
ulous. Headache of long continuance, severe
pains in the side, breast, and shoulders, aching
Of the limbs feeling Of general weakness and
wretchedness, and other alarming or distressing
symptoms, Indicative Of imperfect or disordered
action Of the liver, are speedily removed by the
use Of SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS.
Costiveness, Piles, bitter or sour eructations
and that indescribable feeling OF oppression men
tai anxiety, languor, lethargy, and depression oi
spirits, which unfit man for the management
Of business, and the enjoyment of life are all re-
lieved by the use of SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE
PILLS.
