A Word to Those who Suffer from the Ills


From the Philadelphia Inquirer.l
Every day the evidences of the fierce
ness Of the struggle in which We are en-
gagged are multiplied about US. Every
day some one who had not hitherto felt
she evils which war brings is called to
take his share of personal sacrifice or
sorrow Now some one Of q loved circle
deems it his duty to enlist for the war,
or he is called for by the draft which has
been ordered Again, some near relative
or personal friend in the urmy who had
passed unscathed hitherto, is laid aside
| by disease or wounds, or is met by the
! swift messenger of death on the battle
field The circle of those WHO sorrow
over the owls of the war is thus con-
stan,y enlarged And the end is not
yet.
Let not those who. are thus called to
bear the evils of war forget at whose door
all the guilt of this bloody contest lies.
1t was the voice of Alexander II. Stcph-
ems, the present Vice President Of the
so called Confederate States, which utter
ed the verdict of co2demnatlon against
the very men with whom he afterwards
joined hand in hand. to work the very
wrong he deprecated. Let his words be
remem bcrcd: "Thc election has been
constitutionaly held. Were we to make
point of resistance to the Government,
and 90 out of the Union on that account,
the record cou11 be maze up against us
hereafter" The record has been made
fnl
and it stands before igh heaven as their
terrible condemnation. BY foul rebellion
they have striven to overthrow this
Government of our fathers which, as
he himself has confessed, "comes nearer
the objects Of all good Governments,
than any on the face of the earth"
To save this Government for ourselves,
and for our children, and for the North,
the President has been compelled to
meet the violence of traitors on the bat
tlefeld The Government has been com
PEELED to witness with sadness the crue

Rebel Revelations.

demanding explanations OF the extraor-
dinary delays in the different branches
ofthe department, 1t appeared that the
soldiers could not be paid unless at in
tcrvals Of five or six months, because the
secretary could not make money fast
enough; and the excuse was that the
secretary had sent oil all the engraving

we fear shat in some quarters we VIII not

Of dough. instead Of working them into

men put up their Pan or tray covered

if you ever calculate to get off that dough,
why not do it when you mix, while it is
soft? As you finish up your bread or
biscuit, or cake loaf, you can rub it of

spoon, and work it all in, and put away
your things all clean, ready for another
time. DO not plead the want Of time,
and that you "can't take the trouble, -
&c. DO it in the right time, and it is
done. Ten to one, when you wish to

Gen. Mitchell on the Slavery Question.

Gen. Mitchell, the successor to Gen.
Hunter in the department Of the South,
at a consultation with his regimental
officers a week o. two since, took occasion
to address them on the subject of slav-
ery, which as a native kentuckian he
said that he tclt that he had a right to
talk about. The following is an extract
from his remarks:
"We must destroy slavery or it will
conquer US | accept the issue. l be-
Ieye that all the hopes Of humanity for
thousand years to come are involved IN
this struggle. Rather than that this
Government should be oyerthrown, am

We have not done so hitherto. l hear
that there has been some criticism OF the
course adopted by my predecessor in this
department 10 regard to the negro popu-
Iation. There has been some talking
about idle, lousy negroes, etc. The time
for such talk has passed. We must use
the negro. At the west we have protect

What CclinN Says.
In the course of an article in the South
Bend (lnd.) Register, reviewing the
causes of the inactiou of our armies, and

sible therefor, MIR. Co!fax says:
"For year back or more, throe men

three of these are of the same politics

"the heart or the brains to succeed
not because there was with him "the

The responsibility is with these comman-

them to escape, and thus allowed the ex'

We have been anxiousy waiting to see what steps
would be taken towards filling up that fomous ditch
cut by the thevng Yankees on the peninsula opposite
Vicksburg. This is the very nick of time to fill it up
that the earth may be settled by the Fall rains The
Yankees sgnaly failed the cause the ancient river to
leave his old bed and occupy the new one they had
prepared No less failure their attempt, by
means of stern-whee steamboat rapidly set in motion
to frghten him out of his of proprety into their
new measure the enraged sire of waters but his long
thumb and fingers tG his ancient nose in that peculiar
attitude whla so emphatcay says you can't come it,
and moved majesticaly in the channel Nature had
made him. We should remember, however, that this
old Father of Waters like fathers of daughters
occasionally gets high and goes of On bender-then
he might fall even into Yankee ditch, when the whole
South would fail to get him out. Let us then while
may, SO fortiy the old gentleman, by filing up and
daDlning the ditch that in the event of his getting
high, keep him straight, and prevent bis fall
ing Low to lie in Yankee DITCH disgrace so foul
that his descendants in all the future would be unable
to wash out. Besides, the commercial advantage of
Vicksbutg mainly depends upon keeping our old friend
close to doors his alienation would deal us a worse
blow than in the power of the whole Yankee nation
to nfict. Hence, while we watchfuly guard against
our vanda oe should earnestly endeavor to keep
our generous friend.

The Cincinnati Enquirer thus explains the condition
OF affairs in Kentucky and Tennessee
The number of the enemy on the south side of Cum
berand Gap is computed 10 be $4,000 in command of
Generals Floyd and Kirby Smith, while at Chatanoo-
ga there is a reserve of 10000 under Gen. Bragg, to
bold in check Gen. Buell., who is marching up with his
entire division to confront Gen. Bragg who s believed
to be moving toward Kentucky or for Nashville Buell.
and his army passed through Decherd, forty miles north
west OF Chattanooga on Saturday, and on Monday
was within ten miles OF the enemy.
As communication with Nashville is cut off by rail-
road aud the river and the troops around Nashville are
subsstng baf ratODs tie transport alton of supplies
to Buells forces will cause considerable anxiety as
hitherto they forwarded via Memphis. The indi-
cations are that an INN date engagement will take
place bstween Buell. and Bragg, and the forces on the
