Mars and Mclody-Maretxok and
Hooker.
Two brief but eventful and important cam
paigns have just been concluded. Hooker has
finished up his nine days campaign upon the
Rappahannock, and is again in quiet at his old
camp Maretzek ended his nine days campaign
at the Academy of Music ON Monday evening,
aud now rests for while upon his laurols
Both these great campaigns are now matters of
history and of criticism. That they resulted
so differently is due, we presume, to the DIFF
ferent abilities of the leaders. Maretzek, the
operate Napoleon. indicated his past fame by
the radical Napoleon, has gained very little
credit with his radical friends, and has not lost
the confidence of the people simply because
he never had It to lose. According to the "Lit-
tie Villain" of tho Times, Hooker crossed the
Rappahannock with one hundred and fifty
thousand men. Upon the same authority we
learn that the rebels had only forty eight
thousand seven hundred troops. The Tribune
states that our loss was seventeen thousand,
and the rebel loss twenty-five thousand. AS
the Times and 7riaine are the paid organs of the
War Department, aud have access to official in
formation, we are bound to believe these figures.
But what do the figures show! Why, that the
rebels, with forty-nine thousand men. held one
hundred and fifty thousand Union troops in
check, and that, admitting the loss on both
sides to be correctly stated, Hooker withdrew
his one hundred and tairty-three thousand SOL
diers across the river rather than fight Lees
twenty three thousand seven hundred rebels.
AS SqueeFs would remark, Here's general
ship!" Maretzek never would have been
guilty of such move as that
In reviewing the two campaigns, therefore, we
find it impossible to institute any comparison
Hooker are as dssimilar as Solomon and Greeley,
Washington and Wendell Phillips. William Pitt
and Secretary Chase, Admiral Farrag'lt and
Rip Van Wrinkle Welles, an honest man and
contract jobber, or sunshiny day and o
plutonian night. The two Campaigns are only
alike in this: that Hooker's lasted nine days
and was q failure, and Maretzek's lasted nine
days and was q great success. Both Hooker
and Maretzea, however, had splendid armies.
HOOker's soldiers were veterans, and In
physique and discipline were unsurpassed by
any troops in the world. The fault was that
Hooker did not know how to use this rsagniA
cent material. Like silly child playing with
locomotive, he only succeeded in damaging
himself and smashing things generally. Ma
retzek, on the contrary, was perfectly master
of himself, his troupe and the situation. Hi.
fine artists needed only competent general Il
manage them, and Maretzek supplied this want
Conseq uentfy the fashionable aud musical
as the Heights Of Fredericksburg were
taken BY Sedgwick. In Signor kazzoleai
tenor whose singing and acting are equally
incompatible, Maretzek found his Major Gene

pede in the Eleventh corps of the operate
army, Mazzoleni would have thrown himself
into the breach and stemmed the torrent, al
General Sickles did at Charlottesville. But
as no such misfortune occurred, Mazzoleni Leo

In Madame Guerrabella, as her very nam'
expresses, Maretzek had bis beautiful goddess
Of war; Hooker had no such protecting divi
nity. In fact, none but Guerrabella's self ca.
be her parallel. The ladies whom Hooker he,
previously feted with champagne and liqaeur
deserted him when the forward movement be
gan and fortune fed with their smiles. Durin,
the past season, on the other hand, Guerrabell,
has especially distinguished herself. She ha

few old houses have been put in some sort O

most cases the necessary house cleaning is still
