The battle of Bull Bun showed most of
the journals that they would do well to re-
train from criticisms ON military affairs,
which canuQt possibly be understood at a
distance from the field d operations, and
by writer's necessarily ignorant of the
means and circumstances of the opposing
Commanders. The newspapers have,
therefore, very discreetly avoided all criti-
cism on Generals Mcclellan, Wool, Ander-
son or Sherman, but, very singuiarly, Ere
mont has been made an exception to this
most wholesome rule He who alone has
been activity engaged in the field so far, is
the butt of every fault-fnder, while those
Generals who have spent months instead
of weeks in preparation, and who have
done really nothing but prepare, are trea-
ted with that civility and forbearance
which surely General in the field de-
serves aud needs as much as his brother Off
Ger who stands on the brink of active ope-
rations.-N Y. Post

GeA-We have been shown document
signed by the Mayors in office-of the cities
of the United States and Canada, certifying
to the superior excellence Of Dir. Ayers Com
pound Extract Of Sarsaparilla, and to the
value of all his remedies as articles of great
public utility. Such evidence from such
high sources bears Us out triumphantly in
the position we have long maintained with
regard to Doct. Ayers preparations, or more
particularly our advertisements of them. No
publishers need be more exposed than we are
to the PRONUNCIATION of quaekery in any
shape, but we knew when we began that his
remedies were above any suspicion of decep.
tion-that they were about the best it is pos
sible to produce Cor the cure Of disease, and
that they have the confidence of all commu-
mites where they are known. Not alone be-
cause the Mayors of the whole country be-
lieve them useful to their people, but because
we know from experience that they are so to
ours, do we believe we are rendering sub
stantial service to our readers in making their
virtues known to them Courier, Princeton,

being only but few old scows or fatboats,

slept sound but others of more curious ma

We still need blankets very much and If
you have any blanket factories in your county.
nope they will be set IT, work. We will
take all they can make at the highest cOntrac;
price. Col. L. F. Mccoy went specially to
l.ewstOwn the week before Your August
Court, to endeavOr to get Messrs, Thompson j
Gibb0ney to manufacture blankets, but thus
far We have received none from MitfiIn county.
1t any have can be made, let them he sent
forward sOcn as possible.
George Il. White, d leading and patriotic
merchant Of Pittsburgh, volunteered his ser
vices, and went to New York to endeavor to
procure blankets for Pennsylvania soldiers,
but was unable, even with his extensive ac
quainiance with manufacturers and merchants
u ind any army blankets. The great demand
from the United States and all the patriotic
States had sweTt the market The United
States Government, waiting in vain for the
manufacturers to bring forward their supplies,
have been compelled to send to Europe for
blankets and clothing for the soldiers of our
great Union Army.
r. C. HALE,
Quartermaster General p NJ.
Blankets we understand cannot be man
niactured at the prices then offered with
cut loss, which was the reason our factories
did not engage in the business. The
price now paid is something more than of
tered at the time Captain Mccoy was here
on a visit.

An English Protest against Southern
Recognition. s'.

Mr. Gregory has given notice that On IN
early day he will call the attention Of her Ne
jesty's Government to: the expedlenoy of
prompt recognition Of the Southern Confed-
eracy Of America There is no occasion for
MIR. Gregory or any one else to be anxious to
get cur government to- acknowledge the So
called Southern Confederacy of American
States. The practice Of the British Govern
ment In such caseea is firmly established and
well understood, viz: to recognize all de fado
Governments, irrespective Of opinions, origin,
or any circumstance but the fact Of being the
actually established ruling power. If ever, and
whenever, that happens with the Southern
States, which now profess to be Confedera.
cy, there can be no doubt but their being
recognized by alfthe European Powers. and By
England, with the utmost certainty and dis
tinctness. But the case has not yet reached
this stage; and IT isvery far from reaching it.
The secession leaders Who have assumed off1ce

Of their States none of the constitutional con
ditions Of republican organization have as vet
