For long time Dany has bullicd Gree

But the defeat of the United States
army at Manassas has brought out
Greeley. The following is from his pa

and hat we who differed from him
were deplor.ib'y wrong.
We have confessed our own terrible
mistake in the premises. and are trying
to amcnlit. Gen. Scott has been equal
" ingenious and candid. 1t was a
miscacula,ion Of t,,rcc-.' he SAYS of the
recent disaster. That il the real truth.
None Of us had any idea of the immense
numbers and tremendous cnginery of
war that tie rebels had silently collect
cl 1t Manassas Junction. Whoever or
dcrcd or planned the attack on that
position was utterly unaware OF their
strength
The Tr;Jaac is equally contritc on
the subject of the Cabinet. In arrevi-
Gus paper it demanded the resignation
of every member Of the Cabinet. Later
it SAYS:
I'VE pray the President 10 dismiss no
one OF his present constitutional advi-
scrs. Tue public will has nncqnivocal-
Is pronounced against any change at
present. Such step would have most
unfortunate influence on the public
mind. We cannot afford such mani
testation in the face of orr flushed and
imminent foes. All together, now, and
let us try 70 work the good ship off the
breakers.
CooK1NG PoTAToEs.-Bal<ing is by
far the best method of cooking pota-
toes. Some think they dry out so
much, that boiling Is more economical.
This is mistake. At least four
ounces out of every five of the weight
Of potatoes are simply water, and there
is no less of nutriment i'll drying out
four ounces of water. On the contrary,
the dry, mealy portion left after baking,
is more congcnial 70 the stomach and
and more easily digestcd than when
the moisture is kept in by boiling.
Frying potatoes in lard is the worst of
all methods. Unless masticatcd thor
oughly before swallowing-a thing
very few persons do, no matter how
good the their tecth-it is next to i'm.
possible for the gastric juice in the
stomach to attack and dissolve lump
ofpotato coated with fried lard or other
grease. Ifany one doubts this, let him
cat three baked potatoes one morning;
and the next morning cat the same Of
amount of potatoes fried. In the latter
case an uneasy dull feeling for two or
three hours after catig, will afford abun-
dant evidence as to the better mode.
HAVE Nor SEEN His DEAD BoDY.-
Tt will be rccolected that when Lane
was enacting the character of fest at
Senator Johnson's heels, in the L. S.
Senate, he pompously (andno less ridi-
culously) declared that if war was made
on the Southern rebels, the federal
troops "would first have to march across
his dead body" The federal soldiers
are engaged in the patriotic work of
=" coercing" the traitors, and have &C
tually "invadcd ," the sacred soil of
Virginia" bat although they OCCASION

traitor they haven't yet had the plea
sure of marching over" Joseph's.-
Why don't he make good his oft-repeat-
threat and boast ?-,Statesman.
CHINESE FAST MAN.-Thc other
night a spruce looking Chinaman
walked up to the ticket office of cir
Gus and laid down dollar. The tick
ct seller handed him pit ticket and fiji
ty cents. John indi gnantly showed
back the change and ticket, and pro-
ceeded to relieve his overburdcncd feel
ings as follows: "What for you glib

EaP Financially, the North must be
the gamer by the war, and the South
the loser. The very means of offcnse
and support which have been procured
by the South from the North, have
been or will be paid for here and dis
tributed among our people. The Gov
ernment will also spend all its money
here, with the exception of what goes
to Europe. Consequently, the wealtl,
