A FINISHED MILITARY WoRK.-The
Louisville Journal, referring to McClellan's
campaign in Western Virginia, says
We can say most cordially, with cotempo-
rary, that. in pursuing the narrative Of Gen.
McCellan's triumphant career in Western
Virginia, the uppermost impression left in the
mind is that it is thing completely done. IL
is finished piece Of work. IL stands before
us perfect and entire, wanting nothing like a
statue or picture just leaving the creative hand
Of the artist, and embodying his whole idea.
Mcclellan set out to accomplish a certain def
mite object. With that precise object in view
he gathers his forces and plans his campaign.
Onward he moves, and neither wood, noun
tain nor stream checks his march. He presses
on from skirmish to skirmish, but nothing de-
coys or diverts or forces him from the trail Of
the enemy. Outpost after outpost, camp after
camp, gives way the main body falls back, and
is at last put to an ignominious and disgrace
ful retreat. He remains master Of the field,
and reports that he has accomplished his mis-
sion. There is something extremely satsfac-
tory in contemplating what might be called
piece Of finished workmanship by master
hand. 1t is one thing done. II is, besides.

BROwNsUN ON The RhBEL LEADERs.-In
the last number of Brownson's Quarterly
the tditoI has an article on the present
war, in which he Gays:
For 80 years or more the South have
been taught to regard the North as their
enemies, aud made to believe that they
could not live in peace with us they have
been taught that we Of the Free States aI Q
mere money makers, destitute of any high
moral or religious principle, selfish, calcu-
lating, cold hearted, and, worse than all
mere cO~ards. Their teaching has been
bad, aud has led them into grave mistakes.
For those who have misled them, we have
no excuse, no palliation to offer, not word
10 extenuatiOn of their offence 10 utter.
They knew better, aud have sinned against
light aud knowledge. For them we have
no mercy let them meet, as they deserve,
the traitors dOOm-nOt because they are
Southern men, or Shareholders, but because
they are cOnspirators aud rebels, bent on
destroying the Government under which
they were born. to which they owe all +.
glance. and which, with all its faults of ad-
minisiratiOn, is the freest aud best Govern.
ment ever instituted by man, and which,
from its fonndat on, has been. with that of
Great Britain, the hope of the friends Of
liberty throughout the world. 1t is not
against drspOt. or a tyrant, or Il foreign
denomination that they have consOired,
but against their own legitimate Govern
ment, wh' sc only defect, If defect it have,
Is that it claims too little power for itself,
and leaves too much freedom TO the citizen.
The American citizen who seeks to over
throw the American Government is not only
a traitor, hut liberlcde. a dishumanized
monster, not fit to live or inhabit any part
Of this globe he has no suitable place this

DEMANDS or THE SlcEsslOEIsTs.-T
Mobile Mercury, a leading organ Of the
rebels, of late date, makes the follow
log very moderate demands:
This war must 90 on. The South must
fight until the North sues Tor peace. Pass
a non intercourse act, aud then she will
soon begin to feel the ruinOus pressure OF
the war. We must dictate the terms OF
peace, the first article Of which should be
au acknowledge Of the right OF Seces-
sion. This is "A fundamental principle.
The next article should be that she pay,
to the uttermost farthing. the expenses OF
this war. The third is. that she pay for the
destruction Of all property. both public
and private, which she may appropriate
for her own use. The fourth is that, as an
evidence of her sincerity. she impeach and
remove from Office Abe Lincoln, indict and
hahg him for treason aud other crimes.

WONDERFUL MINERAL SPRING.-About
two miles south of Hog Hill, ia the Gala
veras copper mines. is a mineral sprng,
the waters of which we believe have never
been fairly analyzed; but this much IL
known of their healing virtue, from the
testimony ofa large number of miners and
invalids who have visited and used the wa
ter for their health: For all diseases aris-
ing from torpid liver, or from Indigestion,
or debility caused by sedentary habits OF
life, they are considered an infallible Teme--
DIV: and for diseases of the glands and
blood. of scroiula affections. they seem, az
far as they have been tested. to work with
the same marvellous effect. We have heard
of great many cases cured of all these
named ills by drinking of the water of this
spring. 1t has an acid taste when first
taken into the mouth hnt when yOn have

RECENT Discovery OF Two New METALs.-Messrs.
K'rchof and Bunsen have discovered two new
metals, cesium and rubidium:
This discovery clothes with inappreciable va
lue the method to which it is due, and which in
augurates a new path in chemical analvsis
We know that the metallic compounds when
held in flame intense enough to reduce them to
luminous vapors, have the property of emitting
certain rays in the spectrum OF this flame. The
German philosophers have found that e. 4ch metal
emits rays peculiar to ITSELF that these rays are in
dependent of the combination into which the metal
has entered, and of the reactions which take place
IN the centre of the fame.
Upon this fact they have founded a new method
of analysis called "analvss by the rays OF the
spectrum" or spectral analysis. TO quote some
examples: the presence of soda in the flame OF
gaslight produces in the spectrum OF thls name
brilliant yellow raw; thum has two rays, one pale
yellow the other bright red.
Of Tho daIicacy of this test we may get some idea
fo, tbe fact that this effect is produced bT the
tbonssndth part of trilligram ot barium, six
hr,ndrad thousandths of miliigram OF strontium,
nS bv one milionth of a miligram of lthium, and
nna three millionth of a mgram of salt of soda
II has been calculated that the effects of a
nine milliouth of milligram perceptible.
The newly discovered metals have received the
names of coesium and rubidium, from the colors of
the rays which they emit in the spectrum. The
first has two rays OF greyish blue, and the second
two brilliant red ravs.

CREDIT OF MASSACHUSETTS,.

From the Boston Com Htreiqt EHirffl.
Gov. Andrew mentioned IN his address the fact thai
he had dispatched an agent to Europe 10 purchase
arms with letter OF credit for two hundred aud fifty
thoasaud dollars trihiug matter of business ~
this would be under ordinary circumstances at pres
ent iuneture il assumes important proportions. We
are led 10 ask in the rt place, is there Governor OF
a State south Of Mason and DxOns lire, or southern
State, fom whom a let,er Of credit 70 any AMOUNT
would have the value Of "a rush in the London market
Ii NAV appear al the fret blush aber insignificant to
attempt 10 make cal iral out Of the fact that State 80
rich as Massachusetts and having such credit Oh the
Stock Exchange Of Europe, should be able, through
1he mere signature of is Governor to get hty ihou-
sand pound check cashed But in this fact, repre-
sentative hes the very difference TO-DAY between the
two sections. Every banker in Europe understands
the value Of law, and the necessity which exists Tor
maintaining il in order TO make valuable the great in-
teress out of which he gains bis wealth. II is to
tain this cardoal prnIiple OF government that the
North. whole, assumed their present position and
have sgned their readiness to sacrifice to the last dol
lar IN order TO sustain II.
What is of Massachusetts, il true Of every New
ENGLAND State and the poorest OF them can command
in tnit trial unlimited credit. Tie shrewd capitalist
OF tic old wori know that, whatever be the result
Of the issue, repuliaton will not ensue from that
esipe.
1t is said The London Times controls the policy of the
ErglIsh Government And wlyl Because il repre-
SCENTS the great industrial Interests of the empire and
the needle Is not truer 10 the pole than tie Instincts
Of tie leaders o. that journal to these interests. And
20, though not IN an equally tangible form, are
fam 70 believe stand the great interest Of France TO its
ruler.
Carrying out this line Of reasoning one see the
less shadow of hope for the Southern rebels that any
European power will aid them openly or secretly !
They must list lcgimatise their position among the
money markets Of Europe before they reach the
ears Of Kings and Emperors.
Lei the leaders of the Southern rebellion pause over
the modest fact that the Governor OF Massachusetts
obtained credit for quarter OF million, when the
samo took out the niger that carried the
news Of that glorious victory ~ al fort Sumter; and
the other fact tina, with fnll possession Of the facts

market aod see III it lesson significant to them
