How TO BANIsH RATs.-A correspondent of
Gar9ner', Monthly says, "I tried the effect OF
introducing into the entrance of their holes
INNS or hiding places, small piece of chlo-
ride of lime or bleaching powder, wrapped in
calico, and thrown loose by the spoonful into
the drain from the house. This drove them
away for twelve month, when they returned
to it. They were again treated in the same
complete. I presume IL was ti. chloride gas
which did not agree with their olfaotOries.''

THE HARrER's FERRY ISvEsrraATioS.--Whe
the news Of the surrender of Harpers Ferry
first reached this city we charged the War De.
partment with being mainly responsible for
that disaster That we were correct in that
opinion is borne out by General Wool's letter.
which we published yesterday. The commits
sion, In their report, censurs the General for
appointing so incapable an officer g Colonel
Miles 70 the command Of the post. II turns
out that not only did General Wool not appoint
that officer, but that he was divested Of all con-
troll over him, by an order of the Secretary Of
War directing Colonel Miles to make daily
reports Of the state Of bis command to the
department. Such are the grounds on which
the commission have flung broadcast to tho
world their censures upon some of our best
officers In the case of General Mcclellan
nothing can be more ridiculous than the charge
of slowness which they bring against him in
connection with this affair of Harper's Ferry.
We should like to know how general, occu-
pied in reorganizing and re-equipping an army
that had been demoralized by a succession Of
rsverses, could move at any more rapid rate
than he didf These pcrversions Of fact destroy
all confidence in the conclusions Of the report
II is rarely that 50 much rashness Of Judgment
aud boldAcss are to be found united In . docu-
ment Of this quasi judicial character

ON Drr--That General Burnside will bs re-
moved and General Hooker appointed in his
place as soon as wind or weather permits. Why
does not the administration adopt tho Athenian
plan, and let oil the generals take the chief
command by turns, each one keeping II for one
dayf This plan worked well IN the Athcnian
army; for by and by the turn came to General
Mltiades, and hs spent his day in giving the
Persian army tremendous dogging at Mara

day, and we may find our Mlusdes and win sur

law prohibiting any further issue OF the notes
OF State banks, and compelling them to redeem
in gold or United States bills the notes already
in circulation. The constitution prohibits the
Issue OF State money, and it has been hitherto
tolerated because there seemed to be no ne
cessity for enforcing the prohibition. But If
national exigencies require it the constitution
ought TO be put in force, and the operations Of
banks in future limited to discount and deposit.
As is we'll observed in the memorial, it is not
the amount Of bonds bearing interest that
creates imitation, but the large quantity of ire
deemable bills forced upon the public as cur
rency and bearing no interest
The saving to the government by this new
plan would be immense. Now it is losing from
thirty to thirty-two per cent on everything It
purchases. That would pay seven years interest
on the legal tender bonds. Again: ON two
thousand millions worth Of bonds the interest
at four and half por cent would be ninety
millions; whereas the present rates Of six and
seven per cent interest would require one hum
dred and twenty millions, thus saving in interest
thirty millions per annum. The income of
the government, from the tax and revenue.
will amount to two hundred millions per
annum. OF this less than half would suffice to
pay the interest on the bonds, and the
balance might be applied to the gradual ex-
tinction Of tho principal by sinking fund.
Thus the people and the government would be
relieved together, the currency and the national
credit would be restored, and there would be
no lack of means to carry on the gigantic war
in which the republic is engaged. Instead,
therefore, Of wasting its precious time with dis
cussions about the everlasting ngger, let Con-
gress upon its reassembling in the first week Of
December, take up this all important question
at once, and save the country from the financial
ruin with which it is threatened. by adopting
the excellent plan presented in the memorial
by the practical mon Of the great commercial
metropolis of the Union. Something like this
must be done without delay, or the republic is
lost.

The ARREST OF GENERAL McCL ELLAN's
STAFF OFFIcERs.-A telegram from Trenton,
New Jersey, informs us that two of General
McClellan's staff officers have been arrested
and conveyed to Washington; that the charges
against them are unknown, and that other ar
rests are to follow. Hitherto the arbitrary ar
rests made by the administration have been
merely laughabe or contemplate. Women
who sing songs not pleasant to Kennedy's ears,
newspaper correspondents, country editors and
poor fellows who would have remained nobo-
dies had not the administration made martyrs
of them and given them place in history
these are the sort of people heretofore visited
with the divine wrath of our energetic rulers.
Now, however, the War Department seems to
have had its dander raised, and is striking at
higher game. But why not arrest Mcclellan
himself and put him in Fort Lafayette, where
he will be on hand if another cry Of "Washing-
ton in danger makes his services necessary
What is the use Of confning members of his
staff, when Mcclellan himself, the head of the
staff, can be secured? Now that it is deter
mined to have vigorous prosecution of the
war; both in the North and in the South let the
administration stop mcddling with the small
fry and imprison some Of the great men Of the
cOuntry.
We understand that President Lincoln be-
lieves that changes should be made ia his Cabi-
net now that changes in the my have been
50 well inauguratcd. ls 1t not fully time that
these Cabinet changes we've nader The coun-
try has been sick If the present Cabinet for
long time. No one can speak Of its most pro-
| mincnt members without involuntary qualms
be pretty thoroughly disguised with the sort of
men he has had about him. The result Of the
recent elections shows what the people think
of the present Cabinet members. They have
nearly runcd the country, and are fast making
that ruin complete The President cannot but
be aware Of this state Of affairs; and why he
has SO long neglected to remedy itby construct
ing-a new Cabinet We are at . loss to explain.
Doubtless he may have had his reasons; but
every day makes delay more unreasonable.
The greatest calamity which can ever befall
the country during crisis like this is to have
the President surrounded by Q Cabinet which
has SO entirely lost not only the confidence, but
even the respect of the people, that every act Of
the administration il received with open and
undisguised suspicion; and measures, taken
with perhaps the best iutentions. are regarded
with the strongest and most invincible popular
prejudice.

After an unwonted separation from our
readers--a separation which has been to
them, through The assistance Of kind and
able friends, pleasant variety and d.
version: but, to ourselves, seclusion
measured by days of pain and nights
without repose, we again resume our
Iabors. Since we last wrote, a great
battle has been fought, the details OF
which are published in TO- days paper
Our soldiers fought gloriously, but with
less success than we fervently desired.
The rebels die bard in Virginia Inc
monster is there at bay, and seems to feel
that defeat is certain ruin. Shall we de-
spond, then, because a great victory has
not been won? Neverl AS reasonably
might we despair Of ever seeing the sun
shine again, when clouds have hidden
his presence for moment. TO croak and
grumble is neither pleasant nor profitable
Let us all grid on our armor, firmly re-
solved 10 devote all thatwe have, and are,
to the cause of q country which is worth
living and dying for. No patriot will
suffer himself,o be cast down by breath
of adverse fortune. The zeal of the good
citizen increases, in proportion as his
country needs his services.

away from themselves by vulgar fear or
the force of a passionatean animal sympathy
A disobedient and thoughtless son vio-
lates all the laws of social good, and the
animated parent forgets country, God,
truth, and his own soul. Out upon such
base material, it is the leper hiding from
truth, a moral Caliban hideous as sin.

The entire loss Of the corps Of Couch,
consisting of the divisions Of Howard,
French, and Hancock, and which the
morning up to the battle, contained 40
regiments, old and new, amounting TO at
least 25, 600 is now 1900.
/ think official reports will not vary
from this estimate more than 300 over or
under The losses in Reynolds corps Of
Franklin's grand division, which was at
first supposed to be but 1900 are TO- night
considered by some of Franklin's staff
officers nearly 1000.
The following, based upon official re-
ports as far as made out, and upon esii-
mates of those who have the best facili-
ties for judging, is as near correct as can
be obtained up TO the present time. The
right grand division, consisting of Sum-
ner's I'd corps, COUGHS, and Towards
division, $50; Hancock's division, 1900;
French's division, 1900; the 9th corps,
consisting of Wilcox's and Sturgis' di-
vision, 925; Getty's division, 400; total
1906. The centre of the Grand Division,
consisting of Hooker's 9th corps, Butter
fields and Humphreys division, 1900 |;
Griffin's division, 1900; Sykes 100;
total-2,950. The left grand division,
consisting of Franklin's LIST corps, Rey-
nold's and Gibbons division, 900; Meals
division, 1900; Doubleday's division,
$50; total-2,S50. The 9th corps
(Smith's), 200. Total loss in the right
grand division, 7,055; total in the cen
ire division, 1850; total in left grand
division 3,05. Total--13, 055.
1t is believed that these figures will
fall under, rather than exceed the Off
cal report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Three steamers
arrived this morning from Acquia Creek,
bringing up between 1900 and 1000
wounded soldiers and several corpses.--
A few of the wounded were dangerously
so, but a majority were able to walk to
the hospitals. A great many of the
wounded were sent to Point Lookout.

Kingston yesterday with 1900 men and

he drove the Federals back to their gum

A Tory Sheet.

The editor of the Chicago Times, who
Judging from The subjects and persons who
occupy a large portion of his columns
spends most of his time, with his note
book, in rog-shops and dens of prostitu-
ton. is rabid because Gen. BUTLER ar
rested certain Episcopal clergymen, who
refused, for political reasons, to read the
church service, according to their solemn
ordination vow. The dirty traitor would
evidently rejoice if prayers were offered
for JEFF DAVIS and his army in all the
churches in Chicago, and the hlthy
wretch pretends to hide his treason under
the cloak of piety. He cannot squeeze
his big cloven foot into religious sip
per- Listen at him:
But suppose they pray for Jeh' DAVIS
whose business is it? Are they not COM
mAnde d TO pray for all men? Doctor Mitch
ell. of Florence, Alabama, was dragged
from his desk and imprisoned at Alton
for interceding for jeff. DAVIS ana ms
enemies. There was more OF Christianity
in that PRAYER than any we have heard OF
beinp offered by an abolition clergy man
mon noli,ical subjects They don't pray
for their enemies, but they curse them
with an ingenuity and malignity that
would excite envy in the school for swear
ing. We have always supposed that q
Christian in this country was permitted
TO shape his prayer according to his fancy
And we have not supposed that it was
upohristian or heretical to pray for any
living human being. Bobby Burns prayed
for the devil, and disclosed loving ana
charitable heart in doing so.
According 10 this fellow, who appears
to be as great an ass as he is knave, a
preacher has right to invoke the blessing
of the Almighty upon ourpublic enemies
If he had been living in New Orleans
when Old Hickory was holding it against
the British forces, he would have sworn II
was the religious duty of every preacher
i'll that city to pray for PAcKENHAh and
his army. He would have interceded
for his friends then, as he does now, and
begged his priests, amid his drunken
hic cups and spewings, to beseech God in
behalf of those who were marching 70
seize the Beauty and Booty of the Cres-
cent City. JACKSON would soon have
Quoted him by hanging him to lamp
post. How or why it ia that the great
city of Chicago can tolerate such rotten
mass Of treason, detractiOn, indecency
and general beastliness as the Chicago
Times, is a mystery to us. We desire
never TO see its presence in our sanctun
again. We would as leave have daily
visit from a pole-cat.
