The Chicago Journal, after stating that Gen.

The Baltimore correspondent Of the n. 7.
Evcning Post writes: 1.-THE number Of sick
soldiers and wounded here and in the District
Of Columbia. does not fall far short Of four
thousand. Probably there never was such
list Of sick in an army as large and as we'll ap-
pointed as that Of the Peninsula, SO early in the
season. Military men here attribute it to the
exposure Of men in March and April, working
in the trenches before Yorktown, and as ne

The New York Express says:-''In re-

KEEP COOL

1t is In vain to deny that tho leaders Of the
atrocious rebellion, deluging our country with
blood, and bringing sorrow to every hearth,
are gifted with large share of that demoniac
energy which generally accompanies great
crimes. Like NAPOLEON, in 1914, they seem
to act with pre5cience and rapidity born of
despair, and like him, under battling destiny
which insoribes upon their able mos ements the
fatal phrase, " Too Late
The pernicity with which they have naaEsed
their forces in front Of Pore, while i. exp aims
the easy escape Of MCCLELLAN from the ILL
fated banks Of the James river, gives proof in
their commanders of true genius for war,
and while the cause they are thus defending

patriot, and viii hand their names down to
posterity linked with that of BENEDICT AR

even from the bitterest Of their reluctant
enemies, just such admiration as we bestow
on the capacities of BoNAPAETE or CoSsTA-
BILE DE BOURBON. But If the leaders lead
well, also do the men fight we'll. All this
we grant. Were IL otherwise, we should blush
TO remember that they were americans.
Yet admitting all this, their wonderful ener-
gy, the vast capacities Of their leaders, their
calm American courage, we advise their SYM

We have all reached but the beginning of the

FOREIGNERs.

Oonmunlcaleol
The selfshness and narrow ideas of the
rebel Government is seen In their constitu-
tional prescription Of foreigners. Knownoth-
ingism which rioted SO bloodily in New Or
leans and elsewhere upon the river, a few
years since, has actually found lodgment in
the rebel constitution. What contrast be-
tween the spirit of the founders of the old
Union aud Of the bogus Coafederacy.
The humanity Of the Fathers of the Glori-
Gus Union was as broad as the heavens which
canopy, and warm Us The sun which cheers
our earth. Within the ample fold of this hui
manity were gathered all tongues and tribes,
all ranks and conditions of men. The har-
monizing influence CT this humanity moulded
the tongues and tribes into q new type, The
hberality Of this humanity levelled all ranks
and conditions of men. In the eye of the law
all were equal. No invidious distinction
branded any class. Hence the foreigner, on
arriving upon our shores, felt new life. He
trod the sol as the shackles had fallen from
his limbs. He breathed luxuriously, as only
q man can breathe who has emerged from the
dataps of prison into prairie air. This 10
the secret of the rapid professional success of
the pecuniary prosperity Of the foreigner.
Such is the elasticity of the human mind, that
it regains by free action years lost by oppres-
sion. How different the fortune and future
of the foreigner in the bogus Confederacy.
Article l, section 2 of the rebel constitu-
ton declares, g that no person of foreign
birth not e citizen of the Confederate States,
shall be allowed to vote for any Office, civil or
political, State or Federal How bigoted
and illiberal the provisions. 1t says distinctly
our (rebel institutions contain no privileges,
and therefore we deprive you of nothing, or,
they are of great excellence, and we will self
ishly monopolize them for ourselves and chill
dren. This provision is a tacit admission of
the inferiority of Southern character. Iteon-
feases their unwillingnesss TO be driven into
active competition upon free srena. It says

TIE NEWS.

The news is both startling and important |
today. The surrender Of Clsrksville and the
evacuation of Fort Donelson are confirmed. |
General PoPE ia reported retresting rapidly
from the pursuing rebels, his resr protected BY
the greatest and coolest leader on the Ameri-
cas- continent, FRAEz SIEeEL. PoPE's re-
treat, however, is said not to be fight. We
are sorry TO read irony on such step at such
a time, for VIDA. but irony Is meant in the as
sertion that General PoPE is running to find
a Hght when in the ssme paragraph We are
told that the rebel cannon is laundering in bis
rear. The secessionists Of the city are intense.
ly excited and delighted By the news, quoting
Pores early presentations about see
ing the back OF the foe etc. etc. BURN
SIDE has effected junction with MCCLELLAN;
AMI if General Pope can only outstrip bis
pursuers, the threa c. rps Of the Grand Army
cannot fail TO check the advance of the rebels,
who ale said to be marching en- naasss on
Washington via. Fredericksburg. McCLEL-
Ian has not resigned. It would i'll become the
Young Napoleon to desert the country that
has lavished so many honors upon him, at
such time. Ali Southern armies are moving
northward to destruction, of course. HEINT-
zELMAN is moving with strong
corps towards the Whitehouse. The Indians
at Acton, on the Minnesota, have risen against
the whites, aad are performing series Of hor-
rifying atrocities. Canpeachy has been bonn
barded by the French steamer Grenada. HALLS
Arctic expedition has returned. GARIBALDTs
insensate insurrection is swelling, be now has
5000 volunteers. General NELSON is at Louis
vile.
Such is the sum of the news brought US by
the Northern papers of the twenty-second and
twenty third. 1t were false TO call it good
news; but ii were folly to suppose that good
and glorious results may not spring from it all
The junction of PORES force with that Of
MCCLELLAE's, swelled by the forces of BURN
SIDE, is yet possibility far from improbable
and should it be effected, the old army may
yet enter the Rebel CAPT al in pursuit of the
flying hosts Of Jackson and LEE, for it is
well a5certained that the whole rebel force nov
on the Virginia Central Railroad, does not ex
coed two hundred and fifty thousand fighting
men. It Is said that the President of tbs
United States i, about Issuing proclamstieI
emancipating all the slaves, thus wiping GU
the peculiar institution. We place no faith il
the saying.
