the army of Lee, half of which is from the
cotton States, and, in view of the dagger that
nov menaces it, will insist upon resarIsng
every man to his native State.
The war is therefore substantially over. Bnt
the question arises, how are the political diff
culties to be settled and reconstruction
achieved! Simply by granting the Con-
fcderates all the rights of American cti-
zenship under the constitution, and at
the same time ny proclaiming war against Eng
land and France, to punish their perfdy in aid
ing and abetting the attempted dismemb bernent
of the American republic. BY the termination
of our civil strife we will have eight hundred
thousand of the best troops in the world; AID in
order TO give them congenial employment. and
to afford legitimate field for the ambition of
our GENERALS by directing it against a foreign
foe instead of domestic one, and in order to
weld the North and South into unit, . foreign
war is necessary to our safety; and none can
be more just or opportune than war with
England and France, by which we will inevi-
tably drive one of these Powers out Of Canada
and the other out of Mexico, and thus chastise
their duplicity and meanness in taking advan-
tage of our troubles. Let war, therefore, be de-
clared against them at once, and there will be no
longer any need Of a conscription; there will
be twice as many volunteers as will be required
to whip from this continent the Western Powers
of Europe, and to teach them a lesson they
will not be likely to forget for the balance Of
the present century. By adopting this policy
the American republic will become greater
and more united than it ever was before, and it
will hold higher place in the scale Of nations
than it occupied in its most palmy days. But
unless this is promptly done we fear that
another chapter will be soon opened in our his
tory which will find its parallel in the later
civil wars Of the Roman republic, in which its
successful generals welded in mutual destruc-
ton the forces which had conquered the known
world

THE SITUATION.

The United States steamer Circassian, which
arrived at Fortress Monroe yesterday reports that
both our land and naval forces commenced
battle at Charleston on Friday, which was pro.
crossing when the gunboat left. We have of
course, no particulars Of the fight. A telegram
received in Washington last night says that the
conflict was sharp one, and that firing was
going on in all directions.
The total defeat of the rebel General Morgan in
Ohio is fully confirmed. An official despatch from
Gen. Shackleford to Gen. Burnsidc's headquarters
yesterday reports the details Of the final blow and
surrender of Morgans forces The remainder Of the
troops. not before captured, numbers one thou.
sand five hundred; but Morgan himself was not in.
cluded in the surrender, he having decamped with
small squad. Gen. Shackleford and COL VOL.

and at three O'Clock sent flag of truce demanding
surrender After q consultation of forty minutes

All the prisoners, numbering two thousand five
hundred, and the whole artillery, were expected

II + reported, but not on any reliable authority
iha. General Lees army has met with check in
its retreat at Bunker Hill, not far from Harper's
Ferry. General Averill's cavalry are said to have
been pressing the enemy's western line Of retreat
for the last two days. 1t was thought that Ewell
and Hood had large force between Hedgesville
and Martinsvillc, with pickets extending from the
former place to Shenandoah, eight miles from
Harper's Ferry.
We lear, from Cairo, under date Of the goth,
that Yazoo City. which was held by about eight
hundred rebels, was captured by the Union troops
under General Heron on the 18th. Two hundred
and fifty prisoners were captured. The gunboat
DcKalb which accompanied the expedition, was

but no lives wcrc lost.

CURIOUS DESCRIPTION OF MAN.

The following poetical description of tn,
uses of the different parts Of the human
body we have quoted from the works of tn,
celebrated Francis Quarles, preserving th'
obsolete spelling:
Mans BoDY's like house. his greater BONES
Are the main TIMBER: and the lesser ones
Are smaller spLISTs his RIBS LATHs daubed DER
Plastered with FLESH and BLOOD his MOUTHS the door,
His THRoAr's the narrow entry, and his HEART
Is the great CHAMBER full Of curious art
His MIDRIFF is a large PARTITION WALL
Twixt the great cHAMBgR and the spacious HALL,
His sToMAC is the KITCHEN, where the meat
Is often but half sod for want Of heat
His spLEENs VESSEL nature doth allot
70 take the KUN that rises from the pot
His LUNGS are like the BELLOWS, that respre
In every OFFICE quick ming every fire:
Ills NOSE the oAIMSEr is, whereby are vented
such FUMES as with the BELLOWS augmented;
Ills BOWELS are the SINK, whose parts TO drain
All All nosome FILTH, and keep the kitchen clean;
Ills EYES are crystal windows, clear and bright;
Let in the object, and let out the sight.
And as the TIMBER is, great or small
or strong or weak, tits apt to stand or fall;
YET Is the lkeliest BUILDING sometimes known
10 iall by obvious chances; overthrown
oitimes by TEMpEsTs, by the full-mouthd BLASTS
vi HEAVEN sometimes by FIRE, sometimes il wastes
through unadvsd neglect put case the stuff
Were ruin proof, by nature strong enough
10 conquer time and age; put case it should
Mere know an end, alas LEASES would:
what hast then, proud FLESH and BLOOD, to boast
Thy daies are evil, at best; but few, at most;
But sad, at merriest and but weak at strongest
Insure, at surest; and but short, at longest.

Or so, when one day Mrs. Whittenmeycr,

She went about among the men in her cheer

and speaking words Of encouragement and
hope. She stopped at my cot, took my hand
kindly in hers as she had done by the 9TH

words Of cheer that nursed my heart almost
to health, and as she went away promised to
have some Sanitary goods there in few
days that would add somewhat to the com
fort Of the place. She brought sunshine in
among those sick men, and when she went
away it was not so dark as before her coming.
In few days after, the hospital received bed
ticks and pillows from the Sanitary Commits
sion. Though nothing could be procured
with which to fill the ticks still they added
something to that between the poles and the
bones. But the pillows were entirely indc-
pendent Of Uncle SAM for their usefulness

A correspondent of an eastern paper from
Iowa states that the largest amount of rain
that had fallen at any one time out there
for six months had been quarter of an
inch. The black prairie soil is dry as pow
der to the depth of two feet. The gardens
look poorly, but the corn is green in spite
of drOuth. A good rain would secure an
average crop. Wheat has turned out fair
ly, and oets are moderately good. In Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illidois, "the
drouth has run in streaks." The wheat
looks good. The pastures are drying up.
The writer, whose letter is dated Grinnell,
Iowa, July 20, goes on to say:

with sheep, which sold at three dollars per
head here. the droVer claimed to have
bought them in Michigan at only two dol
lars each, owing - the severe drouth there.
With good pasture they ought to have been
worth four dollars there for wool growing.

Fifty cents worth of wool can be sent to the

demand for heavy mutton carcasses. This

General Thomas, with provident care,
provided for the occupancy of abandoned
plantations by the non combattapts, negro
women and children, whom he could not
get into military organizations. pfst
He found line of deserted, magnificent
plantations along the bank of the river
from Helena to Youngs Point. OF these
he took possession, and leased them to the
Unionists who would employ negro women
and children, and pay them suitable wages.
This arrangement is in full operation and
is working admirably.

fidelity with which he accomplished his
