CAUSE OF SICKNESS ~ TIRE ARMY 1t has
been ascertqined, by the inspection of mndica!
officers, that the chief cause of disease among
the soldiers Of the Yankee army is the i'm
proper preparation Of their rutiOns. Dr. Vol
lum has recently made proposition, which
will be strongly recommended by the Surgeon
General, that 20 system IF cooking shall De o!.
CARRIED in tn, army by which this evil NAV
be remedied. 1t is proposed that corps Of
cooks shall be appointed or enlisted, or that
men already enlisted familiar with cooking
shall be specially and permanently detailed
from each company for that service, with thu
Wow, as Tar aS possible, to utilize the ratiOns
of the soldiers and make digestiblc food. II
is believed that the introduction of such All
organization will tend very greatly to improve
the health Of the troops and prevent the prac
/ tICe Of Struggling, which is found 80 difficult
! 10 correct. In most cases the Struggling is be-
( gun in search for food, and If the food were
properly prepared by regular cooks for each
company or regiment, the soldiers would bn
more eager to get 70 camp for Il good meal

JOY, the very conclusions they have been
resisting and disputing-ihat through
these successes is the road to peace.
We have be- ged them to take that posi-
tion-besought them to stand by the ar
my as the surest means of accomplishing
what We, above all things, most desired,
peace and Union. But they needed not.
They sneered at our beseechings, sneered
at the army, belittled its patriotism, its
capacity, its efforts-sought in every
way to break it down, and to induce the
people TO look for peace and reunion
only through their own elevation to pow
err. And now they can whip around, on
the heel of our triumphs, and profess JOY
at the discontinue of their own doctr;n mes,
at the overthrow of their own pretensions
1t is certainly strange that they should
think the people so blind as to be-
lieve them sincere.

Emancipation.

@ While the Copperheads of this
State, and throughout the whole North,
are declaring their utter and entire de-
voion to the interests of slavery, and
announcing their determination to resist
the progress Of emancipation at all haz
ards, that glorious cause-which looks
less TO the elevation of the black race
than the disenthralment of the white
still goes onward. Ten years ago, the
great struggle TO force slavery into Kan
sas and into all the territories, common
ced. Now, Kansas is in the Union, not
only one of the most loyal States, but one
OF the most radical in its opposition to
slavery. Now, not football Of a slave
is heard throughout our broad territor
les. Now. thousands of freed slaves from
the old States are in the army of free,
dom, fighting TO preserve the govern
ment which has oppressed them. Now,
emancipation has been decreed through
out all the rebellious States. And now. in
the loyal States, loyal men, recognizing
the plain truth, that slavery is oppoe ed
to the integrity Of the Union, and the
perpeiulty of our principles Of govern
ment, are taking measures TO rid e
slave States of slavery. While Copper
heads are resolving to conserve slavery,
Missouri has decreed its expulsion from
her borders. Western Virginia ha done
likewise, and steps have been taken that
insure the same result in MARYLAND and
Delaware. Copperheads are impotent 10
change this result. Let them resolve
as they list, slavery is dead, and the ma
ton saved, now and for all time. The
blow struck al the life of the Republic,
and at the principles of popular govern
ment, has recoiled upon the system>w hich
attempted the assassination. There is no
power in the resolutions Of the Copper.
heads to avert the doom which slavery
has brought upon itself.

Strange.

who participated in the publications over

is clear ackno" ledgment that they be

and more successfully arrived at through
the triumph Of Union armies, than in any
other way. And yet, while this has
been precisely the position and the argu.
ment Of loyal men, these same Copper.
heads, until now, have stood back de.
claring that we could never achieve
peace in that way, because we could new

President LINCOLN should withdraw his
armies from the field, and seek restora

with the Rebels, granting them such i'm :
munilies as they desire. We have de

more speedy, and that their duty was to
stand by every measure calculated to
weaken the power Of rebellion and insure
the triumph of our armies. But they
have secuted the idea and the argument,
declared that peace could come only by
elevating themselves to power, and then
through the channel of negotiation and
concession. They have discouraged en-
listments, invited resistance to measures
for the Strengthening of our armies, de-

Southern News.

EE Mr.. b. w. WOODWARD, brother
of j. s. WOODWARD, Esq, now with the
army of Gen. Dix, has sent us an army
paper published at Yorktown, of the date
of June 30lh, and copy OF the Rich
mond Enquirer, of June 25th. The
Yorktown paper reports lhe arrival there
of number ofrebel prisoners, captured
on the Peninsula, among whom was Gen.
W. +. H. LEE. The Enquirer has an
article in its local columns denouncinr
those who run after the Yankee prison
ers, begging them for greenbacks in
return for proffered articles of food, while
they refuse Confederate money. Under
the head Of " A case for Hanging" the
Examiner also pitches into the Raleigh h,
North Carolina, Standard. for publishing
articles advising Gov. VANCE, of that
State, to resist the call of JEFF DAVIS, on
the State, for 1000 militia. The leading
article of the Examiner is devoted to a
review Of the situation. Under the head
of "The Dawn" it says: Through
the gloom which has wrapped this Con.
federacy, we begin a! last to see daylight
Everywhere, and in all its details, the
crusade Of the Yankee nation has failed
or is falling "They have discovered,
TO their very..great surprise, that they are
not a military people, and wherever they
meet the Confederate soldiery, they en-.

War News.

EE In part Of our edition of last
week, we were enabled 10 give a brief an
nouncemen. Of the glorious news OF the
capitulation Of Vicksburg, which took
place on our ever glorious Fourth of Ju.
ly. From Lieut.. FRANK DALE, Of the
2lst Regiment, who left Vicksburg
on the morning of the 4lh, on the same
boat with the bearer of Gen. Grants
dispatches TO the Government, we learn
that Gen. Bowen, on The Sd, under a
flag of truce, came TO Gen. GRANT with
propositions Of conditional surrender
Gen. GRANT replied that no terms were
admissible, and that he would give PEN
BERToN till 9 o'clock TO surrender uncon
diiionally. At that time, nothing hav-
ing been heard from PEMBERToN, our ar
tillery was opened on the enemy's works
throug hout the whole line Presently
white flags were run up on all the rebel
Torts, aud Gen. PEMBERroN and staff rode
out Of their lines and were met by Gen
GRANT and staff, and conducted to the
latter's headquarters. There Gen. PEN,
DERroN agreed 10 give GRANT formal
possession Of the garrison and defences
Of Vicksburg at 10 O'Clock on the 4th.
The result of the capitulation, SO far
as reported in Saturdays paper, is the
capture Of one Lieutenant General four
Major Generals, between Is and 90 Brig

much more pleasantly, many times have
our hopes, our feelings, emotions and
our aspirations, been vastly different.
We had hoped that the American Gov.
eminent had become fixed, settled and
permanent reality, that its liberty Of
thought and expression, its high toned
moral and religious sentiment, made il
an object Of admiration and praise by an
anxious and gazing world. But sud-.
denly, while sailing across the sea of lib
er'y. formerly unruffled, our ship Of
State is tossed about by hostile temp
est. Little did we think, while so pleas
antly spending those days in the North,
that Fourth Of July 1863, would find us
in far distant cline, battling for the
perpetua,ion of the government for
which the revolutionary hosts SO early
and SO earnestly struggled. Little did
we think that this day would find 60
many fond associates sleeping in their
quiet and lowly graves in the great red
furrow Of war. But such is war, and it
is not all in vain. The deep; rooted.
firmly planted prejudices of years, had
to be obliterated. Proud Arstocracy
had raised high its foul and giant head. .

GRANT has paroled most of the prisoners.
Many desired to take the o 18th Of alleg,.
ance. Abou. $500 persons were killed
inside the works since the seige began,
about 1900 women and children were in
the city and were for the most part
obliged to live in caves. The price OF
food was enormous, $5 pound being
charged for beef. SHERMAN is in pur.
suit of JOHNSON, who is retreating fast.
Assistance had been offered to Port
Hudson, but that place is in the same
position as was Vicksburg, and may fall
at any moment.
The same day the news reached us OF
the tall OF Vicksburg, we received intel.
ligence of the brilliant repulse Of PRICE
at Helena, BY Gen. PRENTrs. PRICE at
tackled the place with a large force, but
was handsomely beaten back, Gen.
PRENrIss killing and wounding large
number and taking some 1900 prisoners.
1t was one Of the most brilliant fights OF
the war. PRICE has made no further
attack, and has probably left the vicinity.
From Maryland the news continues
good. The Po'omac is still very high,
and has blocked LEES retreat, and he
has taken up position near Hagerstown,
and is entrenching himself. A severe
battle has probably, ere this time, been
fought. The New York Herald, of the
11th, has despatch which reports a
battle near Sharpsburg, in which the
rebels weae defeated, retreating 10

The Observation-Disclosures.

EF- The President has dealt the COP.
perheads another sockdolager, in his
reply to the VALLANDIGHAM committee
of Ohio. He winds up by telling them
il they themselves will subscriber to The
following simple propositions lie would
revoke the order against Mr.. VALLANDIG
HAM, with the understanding that Mr.
V. should do nothing practically in an.
tagonism with the position of his friends
The propositions are as follows:
l. That there is now a rebellion in the Unit
ed States, the object and tendency of which i.
TO destroy the national Union and that in
your opinion an army and navy are constitu
tional means of suppressing the rebellion.
=. That no one OF You will do ANYTHING
which, in his own judgment, will tend to hin
der the increase or favor the decrease, or lessen
the efficiency of the army or navy while en-
gagged in the effort to suppress that rebellion
and,
3. That each of you will, in his sphere, dc
all he can to have the officers, soldiers and sea
men of the army and navy while engaged in
the effort to suppress the rebellion, paid fed
clad, and otherwise well provided and sup.
ported.
Mr.. LINCOLN says he does this chiefly
because he thereby prevails on infaen-
lial men Of Ohio 10 so define their posi-.
ton as to be Of immense value TO The
army-thus more than compensating foI
the consequences Of any mistake in allow
ing Mr.. FALLANDIGHAM to return, so that
