General f8aIieck.

The concentration of large forces st impor-
tant points is the science of war; and this
none Of our Generals understand better than
Halleck and Mcclellan. When the campaign
opened in Kentucky, in February, every
available man that could be spared in the
Northwest was sent there BY Haileck.
The country at that time was discussing the
propriety Of Jim Lanes expedition into Ar
kansas, Texas and New Mexico and large
force, with the necessary supplies were collect-
ed to forward, as was supposed, the redoubta-
Bile Lanes raid Lane was not q favorite with
Halleck, neither was the expedition considered
by him necessary. A representation to the War
department of the unhtness of Lane and the
necessity of the troops elsewhere removed him
from the field, and sent the troops to Ken
lucky. Gen. Hunter, then in command in
K ansas, sent forward upon the requisition of
Gen. Halleck, the army then there, and thus
was a force collected sufficient 10 attack Fort
Donelson, compel the evacuation of Bowling
Green, aud, in a short time, of Columbus.
He had men enough to drive the rebels from
Kentucky and hold the State. Then pushing
his army southwark with all possible speed,
he cooped the entire rebel force il the south
west at Corinth.
OF the immense work done by him in NOV
ing his heavy guns from Pittsburg Landing,
and in opening roads and the transportation of
supplies for his large army, only those can
Judge who were on the ground at the time,
and saw the almost insarmountabe obstacles
he met in pushing his army from the Landing
to the front of Besuregard's iRtrenehments.
1t is said BY newspaper military gentlemen
that be should have attacked Beauregsrd in his
intrenchments. Such an attack would have
been rash and foolhardy, but it has seemed to
US that a larger number of the rebel army
should have been bagged after the evacuation.
However this may be, one thing is plain, that
be has attacked no place that he has not held;
his movements have all been forward move
ments, and the old flag under his direction
was triumphant in Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee.
The order and method of Gen. HGlleck are
remarkable. The proof of them is found in
the system infused by him wherever be has
had command. The confusion in all depart
ments when he arrived ia St. Louis speedily
gave place to exactness and method. Under
him the Quartermaster's and Commissary'
Departments were made to perform in the
right time their appropriate work, and FRAUD
hid its face. His terse, vigorous language be
| trays man of quick and keen perception
Such he undoubtedly is.

SPHERICAL lTEM.--It was said by an old
astrological toDer, that while champagne is
the drink of gentleman, egg-nog is the nee
tar of the immortals. II may be said with
certainly as much truth, that while chess is the
game of the prosy, billiards is that of the wise,
bestowing health, exercise, and pleasant reere-
alton to mind and body. The best place to
play tie game is certainly at the spacious H
Dorado, corner Of jefferson and Second, where

DETROIT, July 22.-An immense meeting
was held here this afternoon to aid in aising
troops under the late call of the President.
The shops, stores and factories of the city
were generally closed. Resolutions were
passed requesting the City Council to pay a
bounty of $50 for each unmarried, and 800
for each married man enlisting in the regi-
meat to be rased in the city. Liberal private
donations were offered. The greatest unan-
unity prevails.

THE NEW RESERVOIR IN CENTRAL PARK.
This great work is nearly completed. The res
ervoir is of an irregular oval shape, covering
an area of one hundred and seven acres, with
an average depth of forty feet, and length
and breadth of about half rnile. 1t will hold
1923, $50, las gallons. A dividing bark passes
through the centre. TIE banks ara of earth
and granite, and nice promenade surrounds
the whole. The aqueduct that supplies the res
ervoir from Croton river leaes the water into
q basin, whence it is discharged through ten
gates to the basins The whole work is brick
and granite, except the gates, which are cast
iron. In some places where the pipes are laid,
it was necessary to excavste through the solid
rock. A spiral staircase leads down to the

AN INDIAN RELIC. We now have

dian Are, cnriously and elaborately car
we'd out of what was evidently originally
very hard piece of flinty stone. 1t was
turned up by pillow share on the farm of
Moses Hayward of this town, near the
base Of Ball Mountain. Its present
weight is four pounds. 1t is nine inches
in length, four inches wide at the bit and
three inches at the head. There is a
carved indentation around the stone, form
ing groove, undoubtedly for the handle
to be withed upon it. 1t bears the marks
of extreme old age, but portions Of the
bit still present remarkably hard and
polished surface. 1t is an exceedingly
interesting relic Of "ye olden time," when
the aborigines roamed unmolested by the
pale faces through the valley of the Otter
Greek. Scientific men think many GEN.
turtles have passed since it was welded by
the stalwart red-skin who fashioned it
We hope it will find Judgment in the

THAT'S IT.-The New York World
says, what our armies are aiming at is to
get possession of the principal commercial
cities, the navigable rivers, and the lead
ing railroad lines in the Southern States.
II we held these, no intensity of hatred to
the Union on the part OF the Southern peo-
pie would seriously impair the authority of
the government. We are, to be sure, in
fair way to get them, but we must not
take it for granted that a good deal of
hard fighting is not to be done first The
way is opened to New Orleans and Gen.
Hunter will no doubt take Charleston and
Savannah but everybody will feel easier
when they are once in his possession.
So in regard to Norfolk and the great
Southwestern lines Of railroad When
We get possession of the towns there will
be no longer any possibility of the rebels
either manufacturing Or importing arms
The Southern ports can then be freely
opened to the commerce Of the world
When we get possession OF their river:
aud railroads, they can no longer move
either troops or supplies with sufficient
celebrity to make them of any avail. IF
detached fragments of their armies should
afterwards be kept together in the interi-
or of the country, they could live only by
plundering their own people. The more
numerous they were, the more disgust
and indignation they would excite among
the populatio they pillage; and conse-
quently, the more speedy the reaction Of
the public sentiment of the South in favor
of the Union. The great thing now is TO
push on and seize all the great cities and
railroads before the beginning of hot
weather.

THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS, 78 in num-
Der, of the Vermont Brigade, arrived
about 5 o'clock this morning, by the Rut-
land R. R. They we're brought in sleep
ing cars from Troy, and made, on the
whole, very comfortable journey-due
doubtless, in great measure, to the kind
care and excellent arrangements of Gene

Smalley, of the Governors Staff, who ac-
companied them.
A number of our citizens were waiting
for them at the crossing near the hospital,
with carriages and spring wagons, and
the wounded men were removed rapidly
and carefully to the Hospital. About a
dozen of the number are sick men. Of
the wounded, about half are able to limp
around Several are severely wounded,
with shattered arms, &C., and one-a
young man of twenty-shot through the
the breast or shoulder and face-having
four wounds, made, it it said, by a single
bullet.
The accommodations at the Hospital
have been enlarged by the addition of one
of the portable army houses made by L.

for attendants and others. All have been
kindly and comfortably cared for, and are

~ We understand that the Bald
Mountain Elk Association propose to
fence in the State of South Carolina, and
stock it with reptiles more poisonous, if
possible, than those which have so long
inhabited it. The Crockadile, the Hippa-

are among the more harmless, of which
large cargo are expected as soon as the

UNION SENTIMENT IN TENNESSEE AND

Union SENTIMENT IN TENNESSEE AND
ALABAMA.-The Decatur (Ala.) cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
says there was very decided display OF
Union feeling at Shelbyville, Tenn, when
our troops entered this town, and thus
explains the reason for it;
"The county is controlled by man
named Cooper, who is stanch supporter
of the government, and who has defed the
Confederate leaders from every stump
and dry goods box in the county. He is
one of those peculiar men who without
being particularly well educated, have an
unusual amount of hard sense, and good
deal of stubbonrness ofdisposi.ion black
eye and short, thick and rough hair ;
which latter two qualifications render it
absolutely compulsory on him to 90 in
opposition to everything and everybody.
So when the Confederates began TO get
under way, he took to the stump, and
through his own, Meigs and Bradley, and
another county near these, he preache
the Union gospel, and held many firm in
the faith. Where Cooper is now don't
know, but it is presumed ANDY johnson
knows where he is, and will see that he
is rewarded"
OF the feeling in Northern Alabama he
speaks very encouragingly. Union feel
lag is prominent in Meigs, Bradley Nor
gan and some other counties. In Win.
ston the Union people say they are ready
to volunteer if troops are only sent there
indeed companies are already made up,
and are petitioning for arms,
