CLAIMING A VICToRY.-A Accounts from
Memphis represent that the rebels claim
the battle OF Pittsburg landing, (or Shelah
as they call it,) as victory. Their claim
rests on the suppostion that the Federal
loss 10 killed, wounded and prisoners was
greater than the rebels. AS yet we have
nothing definite as TO the losses on either
side, aud the rebel loss perhaps never will
be known; but the leading facts connected
with the engagement, are pretty we'll SET
tied. The rebels came up with their whole
force from Corinth and attacked the Fed
erals. After twenty hours hard 6ghting,
extending through two days. the assailanis
returned to CoVinth, it is fair to be presum-
ed, somewhat faster than they advanced,
leaving their dead and wounded upon the
field. They were not pursued any distance,
but after the battle the left wing of the
Federal army advanced and took posses.
SION Of the railroad at Huntsville aud De.
eatur, thus cutting off railroad communiCa'
ton between Beauregard's army and the
rebel headquarters at Richmond. The bat
tie was not decisive, butin the present con-
dition of the rebel cause they can Ill afford
TO fight drawn battle.

WEARING AwAY.-The bed Of the Yuoa,
mst below the plaza bridge, is fast widening by
considerable encroachments upon the further
hank Of the stream, says the Marysyille Appeal
against which the current has been diverted ev-
eT since the last freshet. A large amount Of
land has been gradually caved into the stream,
until large oak tree, which has been land
mark near the bank for many years, has been
Obliged to succumb, and has pitched over into
the drink. The Yuba, is less likely to be nav
igated hereafter than ever before.

DoN'r DRINK MuCH WArER.-A NEE

DoN'T DRINK MUCH WATER.-A med
cal writer says: ga person in good
health, and in moderate pursuit Of bust
ness, does not feel like drinking water,
even it summer time, if not very thirsty.
In fact, great habitual thirst in summer
is the sign of depraved appetite, result
ing from bad habits; or it is proof of
internal fever; and the indulgence of
even so simple thing as drinking cold
water largely in summer times, especially
in the early part of the day, will produce
a disordered condition of the SYSTEM
Most persons have experienced more or
less discomfort from drinking largely Of
cold water. IF we drink great deal,
we must perspire great deal; this pers-
pration induces greater evaporation CT
heat from the surface than some can
spare; the result is chill, then comes
the reaction of fever. Many person
rises from the dinner or tea-table, in
August, chilly, because too much fluids
have been taken. Those who drink little
or nothing, even Of cold water, in sum
mer, till the afternoon, will be more
vigorous, more full of health, and much
more free from bodily discomforts, than
those who place no restraint on their
potations.

lieutenant and two privates from Wash
ington, arrived and arrested o. Barrett
and Thomas G. Macdowell, editors and
publishers Of the Patriot and Union, on
the charge Of reasonable conduct against
the government, the evidence, portion
of which | sent you yesterday, having
been deemed sufficient to warrant their
arrest. Montgomery Foster, ian unem-
ployed editor,) Uriah J. Jones, (local ed

also been arrested. The four principals

Now that the war, and thus the fate Of
the nation, to great extent are entrust-
ed to Gen. Halleck, his ideas. of military
science have new interest to us all. In
published article from his pen, in which
he criticised the affair Of Bull Run, is the
following paragraph, from which we may
reasonably infer that he would not have
planned or approved the recent campaign
in Virginia. He says
In selecting base of operations, it is
stated by the best authorities that troops
should never be placed upon the circum-
ference of q circle, the centre of which is
occupied by m enemy; for in that base
the enemy can select his point Of attack
or defense, and, by concentrating his for
ces on that point, can successfully resist
or check the forces brought against him.
Thus, in the present campaign, the Fed
eral troops were assembled at Fortress
Monroe, Arlington, Martinsburg, Graf
ton, Parkcrsburg, Cincinnati and Cairo,
while the Confederate forces were con-
centrated on Lynchburg, Richmond and
Manassas Junction--one party on the
circumference and the other concentrated
near the centre. Again, in selecting lines
of operation, it is said that troops should
never be moved on exterior lines, unless
the forces on each line are superior to the
combined forces of the ensmy. The
reason of this rule is obvious !; by NOV
ing on exterior lines we permit the enemy
to attack either of our lines with his
combined forces, the other being outs ide
and too distant to render any assistance
to the line attacked. On the contrary,
by moving on interior lines, our forces
being nearer together than those of the
enemy, may be readily concentrated on
any weak point which may be presented.
1t matters little whether our lines be
single or double, provided We can unite
our forces sooner than the enemy can
unite his, the great object being to con-
eentrate upon the decisive point larger
force than the enemy can bring TO resist
our attack. This is the great secret, if
secret it can be called, of all strategic
manOeuyres
