The Leclair Lamp prefer the light given
by this Lamp to that given by candles, coal oil,
camphene, kerosine, or gas. 1t is far pleasanter
and cheaper than either, and perfectly free from
danger. The very fact of it being nen-explosive

TREIMPENDING BATTLE.

There is no doubt that there are at least

desperation Of despair. The contest, when
it comes, cannot fail to be on scale as
grand as any recorded in history. The
greatest battles OF Napoleon were fought
with inferior numbers. AT Aus.erliiz he
had but $4,000 men, ana the coa1tiaed
Russian and Austrian armies numbered
barely 100. 600. At Jena his force was less
than $4,000: at Wagram. 10000; at
B prodino, under the walls Of Moscow, $780,
600; and at Waterloo, but $4,000. The
greatest numbers ever engaged during his
career were before Leipsic, in 1913, when
he commanded IT'S. 900 men against the al
lies, Russians, Austrians, Prussians.
Swedes, etc. numbering 10000. This
struggle, which lasted three days, was
known as the COMBAT of the Giants" and
ended in the overthrow of the great captain,
Washington never had over $4,000 men
under him at one time; jackson never had
more than $1,000; and Scott, until this
year, never saw 10000 men under his or
ders. The nearest approximation in num-
bers to those now before Washington, in
modern times, was at the battle of Solferino,
where the French and Sardinians numbered
I45, 600, and the Austrians 10000.

"THE SWEET LITTLE NAN"

The Sweet Little Man survives. When
the Ohio troops were last week passing
through our streets to Kentucky, we saw
him looking as pleasant as ever. He strok-
ed his mustache delicately. arranged the
tie of his shirt-coilar accurately, planted
himself against a lamp-post carefully, and
with a cigar. two for five cents, pulled away
as though the work of saving the United
States was one of simple metaphysical pro-
priety, in which no man had any interest
other than that which might be got up at
moments notice on question such rs
whether the moon be inhabited or not. If
you will look sharp you will discover him
in your own neighborhood. He is some
times doing something, and sometimes he
is not doing it. He has desire for good
health, and labors to avoid fatigue and ex
posture. He lounges now and then against
4 gate post, or in front Of coffee house, or
at a railroad station, or at the corner gro
Gerry, or goes cunning with fourteen-year
old boy as companion, for woodpeckers
and j4ybrds, and is usually at home before
the dew falls.
We would suggest to our fair readers to
provide for him good supply of lambs
wool socks, and 10 receive contributions
therefor. Inns oInce Is open W couu'ou'
lions. Also, in the cold nights coming, it
would be well to have on hand several warm
fat irons, as nothing is SO injurious to
health as cold feet in the nighttime. They
beget bronchitis. and similar complaints.
We caution our friends, who know the pow
err of human kindness, to show him much
regard The utterance of cold words. and
the casting of cold looks upon The Sweet
Little Man might hurt-his feelings. and then

THE DAY OF YOUNG MEN.

Il is noticeable, that the men who nov
hold The reins of power are generally young
between the ages, say. OF thirty and for
ty. This is particularly the case on the
Southern side, where there are very few old
men in command. and these, for the most
part. in subordinate positions. At the
North, only two or three veterans manage
to cling hold of the plank of Office with
sufficient energy and vigor. Dix, an in
stance Of reformed politician, is just in
this situation, and may drop off at BaIt-
more any day into the Chesapeake and will
not be missed. Several army officers are
in the came position. and have young Me-
Clellah. and young Fremont, and young
Banks ranking above them. Our veteran
Lieutenant General Scott has ceased to take
any active part in the war, but gives good
advice to our young Generals he has edu-
Gated for the work, and stands ready to pat
each of his boys on the back when he comes
back to the veteran General with fac vic
Tory. General Wool, another veteran Off
Ger, is sort of connecting link between
the old school and Few, with the experience
of the former and the energy of the latter;
but even he organizes expeditions and sends
Buffers to lead them. Take all our Major
and BrigadieT Generals, our Colonies and
their inferior officers. and you will find
young men in the majority, young men in
the ascendeney, young men in the com
mand. This is as it should be. and with
the experience of Scott and Wool TO restrain
and direct youthful energy and zeal, we may
augur well fol. the success Of our troops.

OF the center aud West then come to aug
ment Immensely the disparity in numerical
strength between the States true to the Uu-
ion. and those OF the bogus Confederacy.
Sill greater is the disparity in wealth. and
yet greater that in the power of producing
wealth. While the South is distinctively
agricultural, the business Of the free States
is more evenly distributed between agricul-
tural, manufacturing and commercial pur-
suits. The superior potency of the latter
States IS evinced by the patent fact that we
have the whole Southern coast under =
blockade respected by foreign powers, a
state Of things tending still more to restrict
the means OF the enemy, while to US remain
open the ports and commsrcs of the world.
Ours is the further advantage of the respect,
sympathy and best wishes of mankind,
while abroad the foe has no friends except
those who are such out OF hatred to demo-
cratic Institutions. or love for lucre and
cotton.
This evident superiority in strength has
heretofore carried with it consciousness
of security which has afforded II the in
tensely vigilant enemy all the opportunities
for his success, thus far. In all grand
contests, the weaker and desperately active
party usually succeeds at first against the
stronger and confident side. The fear of
failure brings into action thousand ener-
gies which the absence Of such a fear leaves
in proftlss5 slumbar. II is in almost ev-
cry thing true, that The race is not to thu
swift. nor the battle TO the strong" The
race is to the persevering and determined,
and the battle to the indomitabe. Only
when other things are equal, will superior
strength alone win.
This is the indispensable lesson which de-
feat teaches to tie strong and confident, aud
which our country has at last learned. The
spirit of our people is now more thoroughly
aroused, and is yet tempered to patience by =
adversely and the apprehension OF further
disaster. Time and trials have brought out
the men for the crisis. and placed at their
disposal the means to meetit. A just cause,
