The FLOOD IN THS. M1ssIssrppr.-The
flooded state of the ..lssissippi and its tribu-
taries has caused az ,,prehensions that the for
tlfcatlons and er >campment at Cairo will be
inundated an' our troops compelled to aban-
don 1t Tor .ome time, on account of its un-
health .ness. The Cincinnati Times says:
The flood may force an advance on Co.
iumbus to give our troops an healthy loca-
ton. The powerful current will rob the
rebels of the protection Of submarine batteries
and such like. Again if the food endangers
Cairo, it will do immense damage on the low
er Mississippi. In times of peace and pros
pesity the Father OF Waters is kept within
his banks during food like the present one
Now, while the plantations along the river
are unprotected, the inroads Of the waters
will certainly become fearful. The devas-
tation of the freshet will be added to the at
flictions of the deceived and suffering people
OF the Mississippi States

want Of tealty to his party in holding the
same opinion now.
At the extra session in July, Mr.. Critten-
den of Kentucky, introduced the following
resolution -
Resolved, by the House OF Representatives
of the Congress of the United States, That
the present deplorable civil war has been
forced upon the country by the disunionists
OF the Southern States, now in revolt against
the Constitutional government, and in arms
around the Capital. That in this national
emergency, Congress, banishaa all feelings
Of mere passion or resentment, will recollec'
only its duty TO the whole country. That
this war is not waged on their part in any
spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose Of
conques; or subjugatlon, nor Tor the purpose
OF oveTthrowlGg or interfering with the rights
or established institutions OF those States-but
10 defend aud MAINTAIN the supremacy of the
Constitution, and to preserve the Union with
all the dignity, equality, and rights of the sew
eral States unimpaired; and that as soon as
these objects are accomplished the war ought
TO cease
On the 22d Of July every nan IN the House
voted for this resolution, except Reid Of Mis-
sour, and Burnett Of Kentucky, both Of
whom have since been expelled-as they de-
served.
The President Of the United States is no
weathercock to whifle about in bis opinion of
great public question in obedience to the ca
price OF an official or unofficial mob. 1t
would be profitable study Tor some mem
bers of Congress to turn TO the official record
and compare their former votes with their
present position.

ET The London Times has wonderful
changed its tone since the settlement of the
Trent affair became known in England. in
stead OF abusing the government of the Unit

transferred its billingsgate to the slavehold-

ton of the arrival of Mason anc SlideIt ~
England, that they are of no more account
than two negroes, and deprecates the idea OF
paying them any attention, and cautions the
British public in advance against their in
trigues to embroil England in war with the
United States. The rebel Commissioners
will find themselves in the condition of dis
pissed outcasts and traitors in Europe.

THURSDAY, JANUARY so,
MILITARY CRITICS.

There are papers in the North VIII h con
tnue to grumble and find fault because the
army of Gen. Mcclellan is not more active
Each editor has a scheme OF his own which is
ostentatiousy paraded before his readers, by
which tbewar might be closed in an Indefinite
ly short period Of time, if Gen. Mcclellan
only had the wisdom and sagacity TO adopt il,
II is amusing 10 notice how men who never
shouldereG musket, and hardly know fire
; lock, from a door lock, and who never think
Of fighting in tins war themselves, approve
then patriotism and their Importance by set
hng themselves up as daily and hourly crit
les, in bar-rooms, and on the street corners,
in private and in public, in spe che- and in
newspaper columns, as critics upon the con-
duct of the war " II had the management
would bring it to an end, so and so" How
easv il is to talk and twaddle at safe dis
tance from the enemy How easy Is the task
of critic 1t requires no brains,-no occu-
patton, no learning, 10 ST. lazily down and
. fine fault
M These critics on the policy Of Gen. Nc
Clellan never will give him credit for any
thing that may be accomplished. Their ego
tism and sefimportance will forbid that. By
and by when all his plans are matured, and
the net Is completely spread over the rebel
States, the commander-in-chief will strike the
decisive blow, and the rebellion will be crush
s ed Then, instead Of these wiseacre civilians
recognizing the consummate skill, and Fabi-
an genius which has enabled our young com
mander to accomplish such glorious results
= they will claim all the m~rit for themselves.
They will say that we have al last goaded
the slothful commander into action" "Have
we not been calling for action for the last six
months }" they will say with an air of supe-
rior wisdom. And yet the whole answer /:
that had the blow been struck at an earlier
time, and in different way, Instead of being
struck in the " nick of time" the result might
have been most disastrous.
For ourspert, we think the Administration
and the army arg as anxious to bring thi
war to speedy conclusion as the critics anC
fault-fnding editors, and that the commando
!. in chief knows about as well what to do, an,
where to strike, as an obscure critic in tn
i corner OF an editorial sanctum. We repos
the utmost confidence in Gen. Mcclellan
He is working out the problem of this wa
npon comprehensive plan, the success G
which is already becoming apparent. w
are glad that he is not so rash and toolhardy
Il Is to risk all upon the throw of single dice
where all the advantages are on our side,
they are only prudently and cautiously usec

THE ARMY TO EARN ITS LIvING.-It is
reported that the new Secretary Of War, Mr..
Stanton, says " the army must now earn its
living" The soldiers want something to do
to relieve the monotony of camp life, and re-
prisals from the enemy will afford them work
enough. And what is most important, the
burden of the expense Of the war will be
placed where it belongs. Let the enemy be
made to support the army.

H. G. o. Dwight D. D., from Constantine
pie. For thirty years be had been il the ser
vice of the A. B. c. F. NJ, and was Justly
ranked among the most able, faithful aud iu-
dicious missionaries OF the Board He had
recently made an extensive tour among the
missionary stations in Turkey and Persia,
and had acquired large amount Of valuable
and encouraging information respecting the
condition Of those missions. He arrived In
this country in October last, and was engaged
in addressing Churches and Conventions on
the great subject to which he had devoted his
life AT the tipo of his ueath he was on his
way to Montreal to attend missionary meet

| FROZEN TO DEATH.--Ehsha Eastman anC
Douglas Eastman, brothers, both of West
Clarendon, started from Rutland on the
evening of Monday last, to retarn to, thei,
home. Tuesday morning Douglas Eastman
was found near the door yard Of Thomas
Quincy, On the "Quarter Line Road some
two miles from this village, in an insensible
and of course speechless condition, lying in
the snow His brother was soon found about
one mile from there, towards this village
stone dead. Douglas died about clever
o'clock Of the same day. Liquor was founG
upon the bodies of both persons. w. Fl
Smith, ESQ.,, was called to hold an inques
upon the body of Elisha Eastman, and found
as we understand, that his death was caused
by exposure, produced by the excessive use
of Intoxicating liquor. From the tracks il
the snow it appeared that Douglas Eastman
must have travelled nearly mile upon hi,
hands and knees, his knees being found very
much bruised and discolored.
