ECONOMY OF THE CHINEsE.-It would
make celestial farmer groan in agony to
see the waste that goes on in European and
American cities. The sewers which take
the emptyings of waterclosets, and the gar
bage, into the rivers, which substances are
thence conveyed by the tide out to sea.
would be mine OF wealth TO him. Moth
| ing is wasted that can enrich the soil In
China. Every privy and barn-yard is care
fully constructed 10 preserve its ammonia
so that not thimbleful is lost. If such
things as weeds grow there, not fiber is
allowed % waste, but all are placed so as to
give out their nutriment to the soil. Such
thing is not known there at drainage for
cities. AS soon would Chinaman think
OF draining off his gold The fact is, our
farming operations are yet in their infancy.
ihe time is not far distant when the people
will wonder that our large cities sent ships
TO distant islands of the sea to bring home
manure in the shape of guano, when mill
IONS OF dollars worth OF better article
were constantly thrown away at heavy
expense at home. The Chinese, although
but half civilized, according TO our ideas,
excel in laborsaving machinery. They will
get tat on substances on which we should
siarve. They have now absurd antipathies
to reptiles, vermin, cats and dogs, or insects,
and will feast on diet which, though per.
haps really palaiable, would turn the stom-
ach of an American or European. In
California they thrive in places abandoned
by Yankee gold diggers. John Chinaman,s
long nails will claw out tiny specks Of gold
from the heaps of 'dirt" that the brawny
white digger has flung contempt,ously aside,
and he can thrive on the very scra,chinos
OF an abandoned claim. And if our Lake
Superior copper mines were as handy to
his country as California, he would thrive
there to, for it is well known that the long,
tailed race have secret process for sepa-
rating per centage of gold from copper ore,
and can ship II to Canton at a profit At
home, his wonderful industry conjures up
a maintenance out of slender means. He
was the first gardener, the first breeder of
fish in artificial reservoirs, the first to find
out how valuable were the pig and the
silk-worm. We do not know enough Of
Chinese chemistry to j-dge OF his progress
in that science. Whether he can extract
the beautiful aniline, the rosy magenta, the
delicate mauve, the oil of almonds. and
other delicate extracts, as we do from coal
tar, is questionable. Nor are we certain
that he can convert his dead horses boofs
into the royal Prussian blue. But vet.
wonderfully ingenious and persevering
fellow is John Chinaman, and he can prob
ably do good many things that we wot
not at present.

WHY THE SOLDIER WAS HAPPY.-A
letter writer from Washington says: 1t is
astonishing to see how cheerful the wound
ed men are. Almost without exception
they are lively and garrulous over the Incl
dents Of the battle. The most of these gall
liant fellows are in the Alexandria hospitals.
though some are at Falls Church. One
man in an Alexandria hospital, who had
lost an arm, was one of the happiest fel-
lows, the night he was brought in, that /
ever saw.
/" You are in good spirits for wounded
man !" said stranger to him.
He locked up from his cot with smiling.

Yes, why shouldn't be happy?

something to show to my family as long as

have it known that l lost that arm fighting
for my country. No, sir / doubt if now
l would have that arm put on again. My
grandfather lost a leg in the revolutionary
war. Our family boasted of that for near
a hundred years. 1t was about time some
body else did something for the credit of
the family. The old story was getting to
be little too old /; aud now, sir, you see
that / am to be the hero of the family"
There was patriotism, pride of ckarac-
ter and philosophy from common soldier.

Annther RnhhIe Frnloaed.

The removal Of Mcclellan made him
saint in the opinion of the Democratic
sheets which had taken him under their
especial guardianship, and they proceeded
to report the inauguration Of continual
procession Of those who hocked to Trenton
to see him. Daily reports were made of
the crowds which filed Trenton to over
flowing, and made the hotels Of that city
resemble those Of Washington at Inaugur-
alton time. But the Trenton Gazette
prieks this bubble, and it collapses like
those Of the weeping and wailing Of the
army at his departure. A number Of
gentlemen" ," it says, from different parts
Of the State, as well as from other States,
have called upon General Mcclellan, but
the absurd reports of crowds rushing here
from all directions are entirely unfounded.
An inspection Of the hotel registers will
show thai there has been no unusual num-
Der Of strangers in Trenton during the
week. In fact, the curiosity TO see the
General seems to be very limited, and q
stranger visiting Trenton would not from
Gnything visible, imagine that there was
any unusual interest manifested, or that
any distinguished stranger was in our
midst"

CounterfeIt Treasurr Note..

A Photographic counterfeit of five dollar
Treasury notes has been detected at St..
Louis. The Democrat, which describes it
as follows, says it is well calculated to de-
ceiYe:
Compared closely with the genuine bill
it was found to be about sixteenth of an
inch longer and the paper haTsher and
sitter. The signatures show more plainly
on the back of the bill than in the good
money, and the shading of the engraving
is heavier and darker. Other defects
would probably be disclosed on very crit
ical examination. It is likely these coun-
terfeits have obtained wide circulation
here and elsewhere; and it will become
necessary for the people to be little more
careful in handling 'greenbacks' than
they have heretofore been"

The Government and 11oClelInn.

A Washington dispatch to the Times says
that the friends of the Administration, in
reply to the oensures Of General Mcclel-
lan's partisans, confidently assert that the
Government is in possession of letters from
that officer, written during his Peninsulsr
campaign, admitting that the force under
his command was ample for the objects he
had in view. They also assert the exist
enee Of evidence that while he was seem-
ingly anxious to continue his operations
against Richmond from that base, he was
actually intriguing to be recalled; and
that he anxiously awaited those orders to
that effect against which he so vehemently
demonstrated when they were received.

A Flying Hospital.

A letter from Gainesville, Va. describes
flying hospital under DR.. A. C. Hamlin
of Maine, q nephew Of the Vice President,
as follows, r--a-
Probably very few persons have any
true conceptions Of hyiag hospital. The
one under consideration consists ef six
mules, with pack saddles, carrying paniers
containing condensed food, medicines, sur
gieal pparatus-ineluding an amputating
table. There are twelve men detached to
attend to the mules. Small tents are also
carried, which are used for sheltering
the wounded after they are carried from
the field. By the means Of all these con-
veniences a complete hospital can be erect
ed on the field in the space Of fifteen min
utes. Five hundred men can be accom-
modated and furnished with supplies from
the hospital. ..tE =
Cooking utensils sufficient 10 cook food
for this number Of wounded men, are also
q part Of the mules load.
The food consists of condensed meats and
vegetables for making soups, and other
nutritious edibles which are best adapted
to. the wants Of the wounded as they lie
prostrated. The great advantage possess
ed by the Hospitals Volantp is that it can
60 where wagons can not. The mules can
travel up the sides of mountains with but
little difficulty, and woods that are impass-
able to wheeled vehicles can be easily pen
etrated.
With the ambulance hospitals, several
days may be taken in going to the wound
ed, while the mules can often perform the
same journey in day, and thus the wound
ed men can receive relief in g much quick
er time then when they have to await the
arrival of wagons containing hospital
stores. When roads are barricaded the
mules can 60 around the distractions, and
when the rivers are not fordable, the an
imals can swim them. DR. Hamlin takes
q great interest in the institution which he
has succeeded in making SO useful to the
unfortunate soldier who receives wounds
while fighting for his country.

MORNING LEADER.



Many regrets hsye been expressed at
the peculiar and long-oontinued Difference
by the Administration to -ths aBOrdsr
State policy" as the conservative inAu-
ence was denOminated. But at length, af-
ter weary months Of faithful trial of the
eOnciliatOry policy, the President boldly
renOunees hatinAuence, and, aotuaied By
the most patriotic motives, issues his
Proclamation Of prospective emancipa-
ton. But now = wonder appears. The
very Border States whom the opposition
predicted would be fatally alienated BY the
issue Of that document are the very ones
to endorse it most heartily at the polls,
and to say to the world, this is the true
Border State policy which we viii sup
port" Delaware elects the Union ticket,
which means support Of the measures of
the Administration, and Missouri votes
Enthusiastically for freedom in the contest
where the issue was plainly Emancipation
and anti-Emaneipatior. Free States vote
against it in blind subservienee to the
Supposed wishes Of Slave States, while
Slave States vote distinctly for it. This
result in the latter, though unexpected, is
not strange. The people Of the Slave
States have reaped the bitter fruits Of
Slavery in this rebellion. They have been
dssolated BY war brought on by the lead
ers Of the slavery party, and they have
learned by experience the cause Of this
war to be slavery. Warts scourge which
has taught them the blessings of peace,
even when gained at the cost Of slavery. |
And so it was that more true Union men |
responded Amen" to the Proclamation in
Missouri, in proportion to the number Of
her people, than in any other part of the
nation, and when they came to vote they
made good their words. How humiliat-
ing, by the side of this noble response to
an edict Of freedom, is the trucking SEN
sitiveness to the feelings Of the rebel Cot
ton aristOcracy, shown by the Democrats
Of the North.

as security for advances, and they in turn
are secured by insurances at an extravs-
CANT premium, but with margin enough to
make themselves good.
"But it is to the Liverpool Southern As
sociation that the rebels most largely owe
whatever Of credit and resources they
possess in England. Liverpool is bitterly
and almost unanimously rebel in its sym
pathies, and throughout Great Britain this
pestilent seaport has exerted wide and
earnest influence against us. We are not
likely to forget it.
e. A fact concerning the Alabama deserves
to be stated. The American Consul at
Liverpool seems to have made every effort
to persuade the British authorities to pre-
vent her from leaving port on cruise
which all men knew to be piraticaL The
Government at last consented to interfere,
and the day after the Alabama had sailed
issued an order restraining her from GO
ing to sea"

HWhen VIC crossed the State line an
hour ago, according to rebel edicts and re-
bel codes, we pressed the soil Of an enemy's
country; we left the lines of the United
States, and tore ourselves from the undis-
puted protection Of the flag Of our country
carrying with US only the glorious memo
ries that gather around it. The army
bears with us, however, our flag, which is
emblematic Of the power of the Govern
ment whose supremacy it is our mission to
vindieate and maintain. We have been
trihed with long enough by empty profess
sions and pretended friends. Tell your
friends that we are going south, and that
our business there is WAR, and that we in
tend to wage it with every appliance that
can be made available, till the flag of our
Union, with mot a stripeS erased nor
star obscured, shall float triumphantly over
all parts Of every State Tell them also,
that our leaders are worked up to all the
energy Of spirit that the interests of the
time demand. We are penetrating an en-
emy's country, or rather our own country,
where pestilent traitorous enemies live
and lord it over the land. We will no lon
ger be oajoled by promises and protesta-
tioDs. We intend to bring back the States !
to an acknowledgement Of the National |
Union. We intend to accomplish this at |
whatever cost it may require. Let those
who wish to die in the last ditch prepare |
to do so, and let them dig it wide, and |
deep and speedily. The people Of these re-
bellious States declare they never will |
come back into the Union. We can only |
say to them that we will bring the soil back /
into the Union, and il they prefer that it |
be fertilized with a little Of their precious
chivalrOus' blood tOliving on it under our |
avs we will give them an opportunity Of |
gratifying their preference
