The ADVANTAGE OF a SHIRT NAR.-It Lar
been our Uniform opinion thai the more RAPIDLY
this war was prosecu ted, the better 1t would BIT
for the country. Last winter and sPrin5, how
ever, the champions of strategy Thought tha'
the Nation should make haste slowly But th'
logic of events is nov opening the eyes OF every
enc to the danger f delay. The Boston Jour
nal on this point says;
Every days delay also aids the operat ons o.
domestic traitors, and adds to the danger Of por'
tions of the community, In view OF the prospect
of long war, settling into an indifferent ant
apathetic state. A short war, however herce
wsll tend immensely to the economy OF lie. no.
only from the causalities of battle, but from
the terrible losses by sickness. In short, every
thing in the way Of safety, humanity and poll
cy demands that the war shall be brought to
victorious end as quickly as possible.

Reasons and Excuses for Using Tobacco.


Men do not naturally love tobacco. How
is this artificial appetite acquired and no"
does it hold millions in servitude!
l. QUAcKERY recommends Its medicinal
virtues.
2. Ridiculous ideas of becoming gentle
men, and a disposition to be genteel on terms
cheap as dirt.
3. LAzIsEss, with nothing to do but lounge,
smoke, dream, and be satisfied.
i. The apng of manhood. 1t aids vlrllity,
or makes ooys men. Said man to little
boy, strutting up Cornhill, with cigar, be-
fore breakfast, My little boy, you would
look better with bread and butter in 20 ar
mouth than with cigar know 1t,
said the urchin, but it would not be halt so
gloriouS!'
5. Some think they have found relief for
asthmatic symptoms III smoke. 1t Is possible
that tobacco, by its emetlc or Narcotic pow
err, may have relieved asthma but, On other
hands we have known OF asthma being cured
by forsaking tobacco. Whatever relief an
occasional dose may afford, it soon becomes
no medicine to the habitual user OF it.
&. Many believe that tobacco is necessary
to aid digestion. By lis soothing effect 1t
may have made the stomach more easy under
SINGLE meal. But it is equally true that
the meal which required foreign aid 70: It's
digestion should never have been taken. DR..
Mussey than whom we have no higher au-
thority says, The opinion that tobacco is
necessary to promote digestion is altogether
erroneous.
7. Some smoke tobacco to prevent obesity.
Instead Of taking medicine, it might be well
for such to live in an unhealthy climate which
would effectuaIy keep down the tone OF
health. ..t .'
| s. A large number, who would offer amy
one excuse Tor using tobacco, would plead lis
necessity as a preventative of the teeth.
DR.. Mussey says, The notion that the use OF
tobacco preserves the teeth is supported
neither by physiology nor by observations
and that it would rather accelerate than re.
tard their decay.
9 Example. The e1ampe Of fathers
aud Others who use tobacco is excecdingl y
pernicious Father SAID little boy, why
do you chew tobacco ? d. love it was the
reply. The son cnewed it, learned to love it,
ruined his health, and embittered his whole
lie with disease.
10. The common use OF tobacco by 3OO,
100000, [ add, is to be cassed among the
wiles OF Satan. 1t is one of his mysterious
destinations, by which ne insidously ruins
mankind on mighty scale; and if any dew
otee Of the weed denies that the great decei
yer has hand in this iniquity, say to him
i'll the language Of DR.. South, Satan has nc
subjects he likes so we'll as those who deny
his agency and existence

Commentator of Gen. Pope.

The New York World, which has been sharp
" critcising Gen. Pope for all manner of bad

thus commends the fighting qualities of the
man
& The events OF the last two weeks show that
Gen. Pope is lamentably wanting in large CIR
cumspectIon and precautionary vigilance but
We give him credit for audacity and push, and
matters are now in such state that these seem
to be precisely the qualities demanded. A more

larger portion Of our new levies were in the
field. But the strategy of the rebels has rem
dered postponement impossible the crisis Of
the Union Is upon nS ; aud there is no way but
to kee, striking with the utmost exerton Of
energy. II We are beaten to day, we must
fight "a new battle tomorrow if beaten to-
morrow, we must redouble our blows upon the
enemy, and give him no rest OF pause till he is
wea"ied Out and disabled. We are close to our
main base OF operations the enemy IS at IA
great distance from his. We are daily receiv-
ing reinforcements and if we Can keep the en-
eny on the south side Of the Potomac, we can
pummel and PROSTATE him by persistent blows.
If Gen. Pope has the obstinate and seltsuficient
egotism which refuses to know when he is
whipped, it may prove the salvation of the
country. This IL no hour for cautious gene

this army is thoroughly beaten, they can never

MADAME ANNA BIsHoP.-It will be seen by re-
fering to an advertisement in this paper thai
this celebrated Singer is to give Il concert here
shortly. The Buffalo Courier speaks of hel
and her concert in thatscity as follows.
A daintier concert has hot been given to oul
citizens in y long time. The Irt'ste, we think
satisfied her audiance that she never saog better
in Buffalo With quieter grace than we re-
member OF her, years ago, and more genuine
personal power no one could tail to be pleased
with her tine rendering OF the ballads marked on
the programme. He, voice is simply exquisite
and her animation has all the freshness of youth
10 say that She has lost none of her old time
ability to delight an audience, is enough to sat
isfy ner former admirers that she can please the
critics now. Of Seguin, base, we can only
suggest that he is an artist worthy of encour-
agement,' and his first appearance before Buf-
falo audience was signal success. Mr.. De Spies
has improved considerably since his las, appear.
anc, IN the city. He has acquired more conf
denco in himself and although he lacks vitality
he more thar. indemnites his listeners by the sen.
sitlveness of his touch. Last evening the Sc
lections were popular ones, and the concert at
a whole is deserving of more extended comment
than We can give.
