Condition of Burnsfde's Army.

s :
The Washingtoncnrrespo of the Anti
sla, cry Standard, writing from Washington,
Jan. II, says:
The condition of the army which is under.
the command of General Burnside is said not
20 be all that one could wish. Reports have
crnne UP continually from this army, since
the brittle of fredericksburg, that it was in
state OF discomfort, if not Of INSTRUMENTATION
Tile men are to aii alarming extent dlsccurag
ed. ard anxious to go home. They are stupi-
fed with continual reverses. / know that it
is the habit of Generals and Senators to say
that cur army is in good condition-that the
troops are painting for battle, and so forth;
but such statements are entirely false. The
army of the Potomac is capable Of great deeds,
and believe will soon win important Veto
ries over the enemy, but it is nevertheless
in dangerous state Of discomfort this very
day. There are reasons for it, too, which are
plain to the least Observant OF men.
In the first place, the men are not paid
Small as is the sum due the men who risk
their lives in battle, it is not paid to them as
it is due, SO that ut this moment the majority
of: our troops have not been paid their wages
for six months. The other day sick Or
wounded soldier in one Of our hospitals, sent
II letter he had Just received from his wife
to a member of Congress. The letter stated
that the woman who wrote it and her children
we're suffering for want of food and fuel, and
she asked 2ittance from her husbands
portion of his wages. At that time the CO.
vern,nent was in debt to the soldier to the
amount of over sixty dollars, and not one cent
of which could he obtain This lack of mo-
ney Of itself will destroy an army in time, not
so much from the want Of the money as from
the verwheming sense of injustice which de-
moral;zes the snidicr.
l have been led to write upon this subject
from the numerous reports that have been
made to me by trustworthy persons who have
made personal observations in oar army. 1t
seems something's as if the President and the
Administration were slumbering upon the
brink of a fearful precipice, and that nothing
viii arouse themlo a comprehension of their
SITUATION Our second great army is melting
| away like snow in April. We shall wake up
snon to find that i is gone. l ask my Repub
lican friends in the West, ''Can you raise
! more troops by vtiunteering?' and they re-
! ply, mot man. As for the draft they say
"'rhe West will not endure it," The Admin
istr:itinn should fully comprehend the dangers
ahead, and then do the best it can to oyel
come them.

The Camp Itch-A Remedy Therefor:
A gentleman who has had much experience
in the treatment of that loathsome disease.
the Itch, sends us the following recipe FOR ito
cure:
Dear Express For the benefit Of otir sol
d;ers suffering with camp Itch. if you think
proper, you may publish the following: Take
Iodide Of Potassium GO grains, lard ounces,
mix welh and after washing the body we'll
with warm soap suds, rub the ointment over
the person three times week. In seven Of
eight days the Acarns. or itch insect, will be
destroyed. In this recipe the horrible effects
of the old sulphur ointment are obviated. !
speak knowingly in this treatment.
I, We publish this recipe with pleasure, as
we understand there is great suffering in the
army from the effects of this disease. The
remedy is very simple one, and within the
reach of all who are near an Apothecary

The Senatorial Contest in illinois.

Mr.. Richardson, who has received the nomi-
nation for the vacant senatorsbip in Illinois,
the Washington 'Chroncle" says is to be
Judged by tile resolutions Of the caucus which
nominated him. therefore the policy he will
pursue is foreshadowed in the following alb
stract Of some Of the resolutions:
Second-That the administration, id sus-
pending the writ Of ha6eas corpus, in arresting
private citizens and incarceratihg them IN
bastiles, iSsuipg the proclamation of emancl-
patton, ard in other instances usurping pow.
er, has violated the Constitution, infringed
upon State sovereignty, and disregarded the
popular wish Its pervesson of the war into
q war of abolition. deserves our unqualified
reprobation, and .justly entities it to the con.
denlnation Of all true lovers Of constitutions
liberty and States rights. =.
Fifth--That peace. fraternal reiatlons, and
political fellowship should be restored among
the people Of the States, that the best inter-
ests Of all. and welfare of mankind. demand
this should be done in the speediest and most
effective manner.
seyenth-Fayors national convention OF
all the States at Louisville, KY, at the earli-
est practicable period, to adjust our national
difficulties
acknowledgements that the Legislature
now in session appoint commissioners to sa'o
national convention, and invite other States
to do so.
NintE-That we earnestly recommend ces-
sation of hostiIities for such period as may DO
necessary to allow the people Of the North
and South to express. through national con-
vention, their wish for peace and nialnte'
nance Of the Union as it was, under the Con-
stitation rs it is.
