MoCLELLAN's. CAMpAIGN.-We haye
not the smallest dou6t.that when the histo.
ry of McClellan's late campaign shall come
to be written truthfully, if ever that shall
be'done, it will-turn out to haye been enc
of the most disastrous that ever occurred.
From private SOURCE, we obtain the fol.
lowing facts, which Uay serve, in some de.
gree, to illustrate the prodigious losses
which he sustained.
A lady, whose residence was within his
lines while he remainedson .JaNes River,
and who frequently saw him, writes to a

Gen.. Mcclellan called to see her just be.

conversation thus: =. -

"Lady.-I have lived here upwards Of
thirty years. I hsye always found the
sickly season commence towards the last of
August, and continue at least throughout
the month of September We generally
leave home about the first mentioned peri.

Rd~ Last Wednesday evening, Captain
Hynes' Company, Goth Regiment, returned
from recruiting tour through parts of Van
derbugh, Gibson, and Posey counties. The
trip was complete success, resulting in a
gain of twelve recruits. The company was
treated at every point with great respect,
partook of three splendid dinners, and were
obliged to decline many other invitations.
There seemed to be no limit to the hospi-
tal;ty of the citizens, so urgent was the de-
sirS of all to add to the comfort of the SOL
diers
To the good people of Armstrong, Barren
Chapel, Stewartsville and Poseyville, and
to the ladies in particularly is due the sim
cere thanks of the entire company. Their
kindness win be ever gratefully remember
ed, and may they ever enjoy the blessings
of that Union whose defenders they are SO
ready to welcome.
Capt. Hynes' company, we learn, now
numbers 95 men.

ARTnLERY TRIAL.-Yesterday Col. An
neke took down about four miles south Of
the city, some ten or twelve pieces of his
artillery for a little experiment i'll target
shooting. A bank of earth about twenty
feet square and mile distant was selected
for target and number of shots, both
solid and shell, fired at it, the result in nearly
every case proving that the aim and range
were perfect. Hardly shot struck out
side of the target. We believe that only
four or FIVE pieces were tried yesterday, but
the experiment is to be continued to-day,
and other pieces will probably be tried

HG~ We are sometimes disposed to smile
at the ridiculous blunders made by many of
the European papers in commenting on
this country, but such blundsrs ought not
to be wondered at when our own papers in
New York city commit the most fragrant
mistakes in speaking of events transporting
in the Great West. They make mistakes in
the geography of the country, which every
school boy ought to know. Our attenti on
is called to this by reading paragraph in
the New York Herald as follows:
From Kentucky we have no reliable news
except so far as that contained in 8 despatch
to the St. Louis Democrat of the 18th can
be so considered, which is to the effect that
large body of rebels, under JEFF. Thomp-
son, numbering six thousand, advanced
upon federal detachment of eight hundred
troops under Colonel Mills, at q distance of
about twenty-three miles from Ironton, and
gave them battle. A desperate conflict is
said to have ensued, resulting in the loss OF
many killed and wounded on both sides.
Ironton is some distance from Kentucky
and events transporting in that vicinity can
not properly be termed Kentucky news.

Other necessaries of life, were l to con-
tinue the list, would be found to bear the
same proportion. We have increased our
wants, and think that we cannot live as in
1924. Our wives and daughters then, were
content with 6 to II yards of calico for
dress; not0, they cannot think of less. than
II or Is yards for pattern. Then, sun
bonnet would do; nOsO, So TO $40 has to be
invested in that article that does not near
cover the head. Then, men and boys were
clad in home-spun now, nothing short of
store-clothes will suit them. The fact is,
we have become extrayagant and wasteful /;
and are trying to Guido each other in glare
and show. l have known men who owned
from 100 to $40 acres of land, hard pressed
to raise money enough to pay postage.
Then, the news came once a week and often
once fortnight; now, we want it once an
hour, and cannot bear the delay of a day.
1t does seem to me that we ought to be
willing to cut off some. of the superfluities
to save Union that our Fathers, of 1776,
built up-willingIy denying themselves
many of the necessaries of life. Our volun-
teers have gone forth with determination
to suffer much to put down this wicked re-
bellion, but our stay-at-home grumblers are
not willing to suffera single privation. They
| grumble at the Cabinet, our Generals, our
soldiers they want everything done in q
minute, and done well. To lear these rue
full ones talk, one would think that they
ought to have the destiny of the nation
placed in their hands-when they are hard
ly capable of managing their little six-by-
nine concerns. This continual complaining
vexas mao, 0nd hovO no doubt you. MessEH
Editors, feel sore On the same subject.
Let US aIl-yes, ALL-have faith that al
will be we'll, and be thankful that we dc
not live in days that, to make small change
we have to use cold chisel on the dollar
the half dollar, and the quarter and agree
to sacrifice much to save the most glorious
Government the sun even shone on.

S6. Our dispatches this morning give Us
additional information, from rebel sources
as to the whereabouts of the Burnside ez-
petition. The kilograms to the Norfolk
Day Book from Goldsboro, N. c., while
indicating that Newbern is one of the OBJ
iects of attack, also evince that the rebels
are most terribly frightened. They have
magnifed the number of Federal vessels
from So to about lbs. The women and
children have been sent away from New
bern, and the men proclaim a determination
to fight. We think, however, that when
those PARROT and Wizard guns with which
our boats are all armed, commence playing
on the city, its boasting defenders will take
to their heels, as did their associates in trea-
son at Forts Beauregard and Walker.
While Gen. Burnside may think it proper
to capture and hold possession of Newbern,
as basis for future operations, we feel con-
6dent his heaviest blows will be made in
the direction of Norfolk. 1t is necessary
that the rebels should be compelled to leave
the neighborhood of Washington, before
the nation can breathe easy. The fortih-
cations at Manassas are so strong as to rem
der an attack in front absolute madness
There is only one way in which the rebels
can be driven from their stronghold, and
that is by cutting off their communications
way into East Tennessee and take:
possession of the railroad at Knoxville
or some other point, while Gen. Burn
side, having captured Norfolk, advances hiE
columns in the direction of Richmond
Beauregard will be compelled to abandon
his position, or etarve. Gen. Burnside
however, may design moving from Newberl
up the railroad to Goldsboro, and thence Il
Raleigh, the Capital of North Carolina.
he can successfully secure that point, he ha
the rebels in Virginia cut off entirely from
all communication with the Cotton States
and their armies in a good position to b
cut to pieces in detail.
Gen. Thomas appearance in Eastern Ten
nessee will be hailed with joyful exultatio
by thousands of loyal people, and the citi
zens of West North Carolina will also re-
joice on beholding Federal columns in quie
, possession of their State Capital. The re
joicing of these patriots, who have bee
compelled to submit to the despotism of
government fastened upon them agains
F their wish, will strike terror to the hearts
the usurpers at Richmond, who-cut Of
, from their friends and sympathizers furthe
South-will then realize their utter inabilit
to carry out the designs of their infamou
rebellion. All that is needed to secure thes
. advantages which, in themselves, amour
a to entire success in the overthrow of the II
! bellion, is little energy and courage. W
believe Gen. Burnside possesses all the cou
age and dash for successful leader; IL
> people stand ready to echo his praiI
throughout the lard; his tide is at the foo
!, and we trust he will seize the golden o.
portunity that beckons him on to fortune.
