into the middle Of next week, but we are the
first people ever knew who were knocked into
the middle of last year"
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post relates that Gen. Mcclellan
gave Gen. Burnside bit of good advice as he
was coming away Accept of no designations
if they are offered, he said, ''for men viii do in
hot blood what they will be sorry fora week after.

] Here is bit of English eccentricity in suffi-
ciently bad taste even for John Bull. Mr..

pied, the singular MS. to be then deposited in

If any officers Of the Army of the Potomac
whether belonging to Gen. McClellan's Staff or
to anybody else's staff 10 staff see fit to re-
sign, 10 desert the service Of their country be-
cause Burnside has been appointed TO succeed
General Mcclellan, we hope they will have their
epaulets stripped from their shoulders in front
Of the army and, with coats turned wrong-side
out and the word 'traitor" pinned to their backs,
be drunmed out of camp. We are much mis-
taken if there is any part of this country they
can live in.-LouisviRe Journal.
A chap Down East named Barnes, who had
made speech at a war meeting, was criticized
in the village paper, which said it was a very
patriotic address, butthe speaker slandered Lin
dley Murray awfully. The next day Barnes
wrote note to the editor, declaring that he new
sr knew such man in his life Lindley Muir
ray, and therefore could not have sIandered him.
Mrs. Barnes, the wife, being at a tes-party, took
up the eudgel for her husband, when the matter
was discussed, by declaring that "Murry began
it by abusing her husband and got as good as he
gaye"
1t will be remembered that an excuse for de-
| lay on the Potomac was founded on the alleged
lack Of supplies, shoes, etc. twill be seen by
the dispatches that immense quantities of shoes,
clothing provisions, ETC. are now being sent
required By khe army. This is astounding, and
may serve to iudicate the mode ia which the
money goes For, it would seem. that If sys-
tematic attempt had been made TO ruin us by
exhausting our means, no better plan could
I have been devised than to do nothing and spend
everything. Ohio Stale Journal.
