WHERE ARE You, NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND
MEN Not very long ago poor Greeley an
nounced in the Tribune that he had reserve of
nine hundred thousand radicals, who would en-
list for the war IL the President would proclaim
emancipation, but whose services could not be
secured at any other price. Now the procls-
nation Of emancipation has been issued and
where are those nine hundred thousand men
There 10 no longer any excuse for the radicals
to stay at home and abuse the army which they
refuse to join. There is no longer any excuse
for the most prominent abolition general--the.
unlucky Fremont--to remain here, enjoying the
pay Of a major general and doing nothing what
ever to earn It. Now is the time for Greeley
and his host Of reserves to take the field We
shall never be contented until we see the ad-
vance guard of this army of nine hundred thou
sand men on the march down Broadway. Four
hundred thousand soldiers Of the six hundred
thousand called for by the President are now
enlisted. The remaining two hundred thousand
can be filed up from Greeley's reserve, and
then there will be no necessity for draft Be
sides completing our immense army of over a
million Of men, therefore, Greeley offers us an
extra force of seven hundred thousand radicals.
Trot them out, then, and let us see them in ac-
ton. Greeley should lead them, and conduct
this war "on military principles" Let him
begin his work at once. Where are you

CONGRESSIONAL. Rel 'oRMs IN THE NAvY.-There
can be no better evideA zee of the folly of Con-
gress taking the administA alton OF the navy out
of the hands of the depsrA ment than the fact
that Commander Porter, of the Essex, who has
just been promoted for his gallaAtry in the af-
fair with the Arkansas, was first o>erslaughed
by the Naval Retiring Board, and recently again
by the Naval Advisory Board. A number of
valuable officers Of similar spirit and mettle

GENERAL Mitchell AT PoRr ROYAL.-The
arrival of the astronomer general at Port
Royal seems to have completely changed the
complexion of things there. Already gladness
and confidence have replaced the doubts and
gloom that prevailed amongst our troops under
the command of his predecessor. On reviewing,
the Forty-eghth New York Volunteers at Fort
Pulaski, the General made speech to the men
which excited the widest enthusiasm amongst
them. He promised them that they shoSid
have no time for signing and lamenting over
their inactivity if he could find anything for
them to do. After impressing on them the duty
of obedience and Difference to their superiors,
he went on to say, employing an amusing but
effective Hibernianism, that "a good soldier,
when he lies down at night conscious of having
performed his duty to the country, does not care
whether he gets up alive or dead He wished
them to understand that they had made free
will offering to the country and to the great
cause Of human liberty. Their lives were not
their own. His life was not his own. In return
for the attention which he meant to bestow upon
their comforts and interests. he expected from
them the most complete and perfect devotion.
When he ordered them to move, he expected
them to move with spirit and alacrity. When
he asked them to take battery, he expected
them to march over it and plant their bayonets
beyond it, halting when the word was given,
not before" This has the ring of the true
metal, and will have very different effect upon
our soldiers from the fanatical course pursued
by General Hunter. There is evidently to be
more fighting and less niger drilling under
the administration of his successor

The RADICALS AND THE PRESIDENT-The radl-
calls have already fallen from enthusiasm to
distrust in regard to the Presidents emancipa-
ton proclamation. The Times, which went of
at half cock about the document on Tuesday,
seems to have determined to take little time
for reflection, and SO said not word upon the
subject yesterday. The Tribune, which has
been cursing and abusing the President for
some time past, indicting him for mafeasance
in office, accusing him Of not executing the
laws, charging him with the murder of the
riotous negroes at New Orleans, and limiting to
him that he had disgusted everybody by his in
efficiency, and that it was the prayer of twenty
millions that he should resign, came out strong
with "God bless Abraham Lncoln!' on 1tpss-
day; but yesterday, having reconsidered the
matter, it INDUCES in wiggle-waggle, and ex-
claims "God bless Abraham Lincoln! if every
thing turns out as we desire, and if he changes
his Cabinet and his generals, and if this procla-
nation. is really so great q thing as we think,
and if tho President is really what we want
him to be-" "What fall is here, my country
menw
These newspapers show the workings Of the
radical mind. The fact is that the Tribune will
come out dead against this proclamation be-
fore many weeks, and will accuse the President
of trickery and double dealing unless
all the demands of the radicals are
granted, and the Cabinet Is reconstructed from
such rotten timber as Sumner, Wade, Wilson
and Greeley with the foolish Fremont as Com
mander-inChief of the Army, and Phelps,
Wadsworth and Hunter in high commands.
What the radicals desire is not merely an eman-
cipation proclamation. Wendell Phillips ex-
pressed their wishes through the Independent
some time ago. in the simple phrase, "Give us
place" To satisfy them, by giving them what
they demand, is as impossible as to stop the
rawlings of madman by complying with his
insane desires. The day after the President
sent to Congress his message recommending an
offer of compensation for the slaves of border
States, the radical press praised God and blessed
Abraham Lincoln in the same profane, crazy
style as on Tuesday last But what followed?
Why, the radicals in Congress at first treated
the Presidents message with profound con-
tempt, the Senate even refusing to hear it
read, and finally passed his resolution without
making it practical by the necessary appropria-
ton, and in few days the radical papers were
more insolent, clamorous and abusive than
ever Are the lessons of experience nothing! Is
the country to be utterly destroyed before the
real character of the radicals is fully understood?
Are all the outrageous demands of this revolu-
tionary faction to be granted, and its leaders to
sit grinning, like modern Neros, upon the
ruins of this great nations Time alone can de-
eide, and it is not for us to turn prophet or sit

FUEL.-It is common mistake among far
mers to burn wood the same year it is cut.
Two cords of dry wood will give more heat
than three cords in an unseasoned state.
When the moisture in the burning wood is be-
ing evaporated it has the power of taking up
heat its own bulk is increased one five hun
dredth part for every degree of heat added.
and it travels up the chimney or stove pipe
with the heat. If wood be cut two years be-
fore its use, it will be found much more eco
nonical; all the heat will be radiated in the
room, or at least very much larger portion
than when it is accompanied by moisture
When under steam boilers, green wood will
not make steam, at least in the boiler, for the
heat is used in converting the water of the
wood itself into steam, as it passes through the
hues into the chimney, without heating the
boiler. This is true not only of wood, but al
so in degree of coal, especially bituminous
coal, which, when wet, radiates but little heat,
the majority passing up the chimney. Even
anthracite coal is capable OF holding some wa
ter. 1t should always be carted on dry day,
and placed under cover for winters use.

of the speakers had been urging the men to
sign the roll, and told the women to hurry
them up, when woman rose In the meeting

follows ''Ira, you know what you said before
you came here to-night-that you would en-
list. If you don't do it, go straight home and
take of those breeches and let me have them
and will go myselfE" This brought down
the house and brought up Ira, who became a
volunteer.
