The sasfness of our Operations.

From the Albany Journal
Those who 1enounce the heads of Govern
nlent as ''ineompetents, ''slow coaches &C.
will do well TO sean the heads of the different
Departments just published. While mistakes
have been committed and errors of judgment
have occurred, it is safe TO say that no men
have ever worked harder, or served the inter
estS OF the country with more earnest and
conscientious zeal. The wonder is not that
more has not been done, but that SO much has
been done and done SO well The feeling
with which we peruse these documents is one
OF absolute amaZement over the vastness of
the operations of the Government during the
past twelve months. The world has never
witnessed anything like it. All the wars that
have preceded the now on our hands,
shrink into insi gniicance in comparison. The
campaigns of Caesar and Napoleon appear Lii
hputlan beside the one we have been con
Quoting during the past eighteen months
Take, as a sample, the operations of the
War Department. Ovea tacelce htagdred thou
sand men have been raised, armed, clothed
and equipped since the war broke out. Of
this vast number, the draft has produced fifty
thousand: while fifty thousand blacks have
been put in the field during the past year

equipments for men and horses, and ammun-
ton obtained during the year, we have the
following summary Il ST. field, siege and

Is only small item in the grand sum total of
the operations of the War Department du-
ring the twelve months past.
The operations of the Navy Department
exhibit an equally amazing result. At the
beginning Of the war the number of effective
vessels did not exceed 40; while the number
of vessels within the immediate reach of the
Government did not exceed ten. In Deem
Der, 1862, the number of vessels had increas-
ed to 427; while during the current year it
has been increased Tin ships completed and in
course of construction) to 5SS-a number
says the President, " believed to exceed that
OF any other power" The following is

DoNT Rock THE BABY If all the ultimate
consequences of ones acts are to be laid TO
his charge, the who invented rocking
cradles for children rests under a fearful load
of responsibility. The downright murder of
tens OF thousands of infants and the weak
ened brains of hundreds of thousands of
adults, are undoubted results of this inven-
ton To rock a child in a cradle or to
swing him in crib. amounts to Just this: tie
rapid motion diStatTbS tie natural Roso of the
blood, and produces stlpOr or dr01esuteSs. Can
anybody suppose for a moment that any such
an operation is healthful one Every one
knows the dizzy and often sickening effect of
moving rapidly III a swing; yet wherein does
this differ from the motion child receives
when rocked in a cradle? 1t is equivalent
to living in a ship-bertE during a violent
storm; and that sickens nine people out of
ten. A very gentle, slow motion, may some.
times be soothing, though always of doubtful
expediency; but to move the cradle as rap
idly as the swing of a pendulum three feet
long-that Is, once in a seconds positive
cruelty. We always feel like grasping and
staying the arm of tie mother or nurse who
to secure quietude, swings the cradle or crib
with a rapidity equal to that of pendulum a
foot long If any mother is disposed to laugh
at oui suggestions, consider them whimsi-
cal we beg of her to have bed or cot hung
on cords then lie down In it herself and
have some one swing 1t with the same rapid
itv that she allows the cradle to be rocked
What she will experience in both head and
stomach is just what the infant experiences
We insist that this rocking of children is q
useless habjt Ii not accustomed to rocking
they will 90 TO sleep quite well when lying
quietly, az when shaken in cradle. If thew
do not, there is trouble from sickness, or hun
ger, or more likely from an overloaded sto-
mach and though the rocking may produce
temporary stupor, the trouble is made worse
thereafter by the unnatural means taken to
produce quiet for the time being.

Appeal to the Citizens of the Loyal States in
Behalf Of Disabled Union Soldiers.

The establishment of permanent home
for sick and disabled soldiers, is prompted by
the dictates of humanity, ana by gratitude to
our patriotic sons and brothers. Thousands
who have gone forth to battle for the preser-
walton of our glorious institutions, the unity
Of the States, and to extend the area of free
d0m will return to us with mangled limbs,
and shattered frames, incapacitated for labor
during the remaining period of their existence
here. To such can we refuse a Christian
welcome and a comfortable home But we
are persuaded that a generous public needs
no argument to induce them to the perform
ance of duty so manifest, and we therefore
proceed to state briefly the purpose of those
who design to establish permanent home
for the relief of the disabled soldiers of the
Union.
1t is generally known that the original draft
of the Presidents Emancipation Proclama-
tion through the generosity of our fellow-ct-
izen, Thomas B. Bryan, Esq, is the property
of the disabled soldiers of the Union Army,
to be held in trust for their benefit by the
Soldiers Home of Chicago. This document,
destined to live on the page of history when
generations yet unborn have passed away,
and to be referred to by the historian as the
great instrument by which that foul blot on
our national escutcheon, human slavery, was
Obliterated, is regarded by US as of immense
present and prospective value. In order that
the disabled soldiers may more fully realize
that value, we have resolved to adopt the
plan suggested by the donor of the original
document, in affording every loyal citizen of
the North an opportunity to subscribe to-
wards its purchase from the soldiers, the sum
| of one dollar, to create fund for the cree
| ton and maintenance of permanent home
| for disabled soldiers. The fund thus produc-
| ed will, trust, prove sufficient to carry out
/ the design to the extent required and benefit
| the noble and patriotic recipients of your
| bounty. The original document thus to be-
/ come the corner stone or foundation of the
! Soldiers Home, will be sacredly preserved in
| the same, and may thus prove source OF
| permanent revenue to the soldiers. Is any
appeal necessary to your humanity or your
| Christian sympathy? We trust not. We
! believe that all who love their country and
| its glorious institutions will gladly contribute
the single dollar that is necessary to shelter,
| support and smooth the passage to the grave,
| of the SCARED and disabled veterans who have
| been our defenders and the restorers of our
great and beloved Union.
Every city, town, village and hamlet
| throughout the land, and especially through
/ point committees to solicit the subscription
| desired, and to this end we forward you this
brief circular, hoping that you will take meas
/ ures without delay, to cooperate with Us in
carrying out this design, and will correspond
| with the President of our Association, Thos.
B. Bryan, Chicago, H., on the subject, adj
! vising him of the committees appointed and
! the result of their labor.
