Strength Of Lees Army.

A Confederate Captain, who, after
three years OF service left the rebel
ranks and came into our lines, called
upon on us yesterday morning. He
confirms the fact that the people Of the
South are utterly destitute and most Of
them heartily sick Of the rebellion.
Lees army, he says. Was, a month ago,
from 5000 TO 10000 strong, including
the whole of Early's command Lee Is
the only General in whom the Southern
people now cOnfide; all the others they
distrust and fear. But his army is full
Of disaiected men, more especially the
&c )rgians, since the fall Of Atlanta, who
want to 60 home and look after their
families, now that the Union army has
penetrated to the heart Of the South.
These men desert TO our side, or skulk
off southwark, at every opportunity.
Our correspondent says, unless there is
a favorable change in the rebel pros
poets, such as the defeat Of Grant or
the election of Mcclellan land the
leaders count greatly upon the latter,
as sure to be followed by peace and in
dependence,) the c. s a. will soon
tumble % pieces, from the sheer weak
ness and exhaustion The hope Of the
enemy in McClellan's success - one
half the strength Of Lees army Take
that away, and the elements now st
work will surely affect q speedy over
throw Of the rebellion Let the loyal
people Of the North bear this pregnant
fact in mind--N L. Ifibims

CaYaIrY.

In the beginning of the war, this arm
of the service was of comparatively
little use to us. The South, indeed,
had the advantage in this respect, as
their people were more accustomed to
the saddle, and had had some training,
in all branches of the military. A re-
cruit 10 the cavalry service in England
is put to school for three years, he and
his horse, before either is considered
ready for service.
Every one in his reading, has noticed
how in the European battles, the cav
airy, as an arm in actual battle, has al
ways been considered of the highest
Importance. They were not to be
used as dismounted infantry, nor in the
pursuit simply after the battle was
won; but for a sabre charge, Just at the
crisis, or turning point, such as there
always Is in every great battle, the
cavalry would be sent IN to carry the
day with irresistible sweep Witness
in Les Mlserabless' the. splendid
description Of the charges and counter
charges by the French and English
cavalry, at Waterloo. But now the
three years discipline is up, and the
cavalry under Sheridan, and TOrbett
and Custer, are showing themselves
worthy Of ranking side by side with
the cavalry Of the European armies
And thus we see in the late battles in
the Shenandoah, Just at the crisis of
the engagement the cavalry are sent
in to turn and decide the day, with
their flashing sabres, and imperial
charge. Sweep on, gallaat hofsemen

Concerning the KhOOpIng.COugh.

Mr.. James Craig, Of Newcastle~On-
Tyne, in England, has published a
y iper, in which, after adverting TO the
TACT that twelve thousand two hundred
and seyenty-twO persons died from
whOoping-eOugh in 1862, he states that
during a recent visit he noticed in the
most respectable Swedish journals a
statement TO the effect that whOOping>
cough can be cured by inhaliug the air
from the purifying apparatus in gas
works. One of these writers says
" This knowledge We have had from two
to three months | know a family
where three children were cured BY
three visits to the purifying-house. Our
most distinguished physician for the
diseases Of children, Professor Abelin,
has found the remedy equally effective
on a patient of his own family. Ihave
seen a boy from three to tours years Of
age he cured by six visits, the first three
lasting only ten to fifteen minutes
the latter on the contrary, thirty To
forty-five minutes Mr. III NJ L. Back
Ter, of London, confirms this statement,
and adds that the practice Of sending
children to gas-works TO inhale the gas
from newly-Opened purifiers has been
adopted in France for two years past;
and he says that, from information
81 various works which he
visits, he infers that the cure
for yhOoping-CO1gh i perfect 10
often occurs that a. many rs q dozen
children are brought to the gas works
At one time, and the managers have
now come to regard this new custom
as part OF the daily routine OF bust
ness.

From the New York Evening Post
His name Is Phillip Sheridan, and be-
made his OyertuFes on Monday in the
Valley Of Virginia, near Winchester
tie i for unconditional peace his
terms are "the Union sud the Constitu-
ton and he does not depend on Eek
hausting the resources Of statesman
ship" whatever that means All that
is necessary under the plans Of this and
our other Peace CommissioneFs--4ir ant,
sherman and Farragut--is for the
rebels 70 lay down their arms, return to
their homes, obey the laws, respect the
rights of American citizens, and AZ
knowledge the Constitution and the
laws made under it, a. the supreme
Law Of the land.
When they do that they will have
peace Immediately and this would
appear 10 be the quickest, cheapest and
most thoroulh plan on which 20 estab-
lish peace. To exhaust the resources
Of statesmanship," a. Gen Mcclellan
proposes, will take much time-years,
perhaps, and after all the result
would be uncertain, while not only the
resources Of craftsmanship, but the re-
sources Of the country would be ex-
hausted by such an armed truce. 10 Is
easier by q vigorous effort 70 crush the
rebellion, and Sheridan, on Ms way 70
Lynchburgh, after disabling seven thou
sand men-equal 70 a whole corps Of
the rebel army-is q peace cOmmissi on
or from whom much may be expected.

The ImbecIIIty of Mcclellan.

If ever the stamp of mental imbeeili-
ty was upon public man. il certainly
rests on Mcclellan Search how we
may through his career in this war,
and we cannot find any evidence what
ever that he was at all fitted for an
active command in the army, much less
the high and responsible one he did
hold. Whenever the country and the
government looked to him for the per
torrance of some high duty, he failed.
Whenever he had a chance to distin-
guish himself by noble career, he was
found wanting. Whenever he should
have been heading his men, sharing
their perils, and inspiring them to
action by his example, he was not there.
Confident in himself, he accepted a
post for which he had not a solitary
qualification, and his whole record
therein was one of melancholy imbe-
cility.
Rosecrans looked TO him to arrest
the fight Of the beaten foe from Rich
Mountain, but Mcclellan failed. Presi-
dent Lincoln asked him to raise the
rebel blockade of the Potomac, and
] Nbb nnch bnp PiNp dA dblOiic NCiC lcau1
Mcclellan was not Again he was or
dered to attack the rebel position at
Manassas, and did not get there until
the enemy had gone. So it was every
where, He was deficient at yorktown,
absent at Williamsburg, surprised at
Fair Oaks, taken in flank and rear at
Gaines Mills, and frightened out of his
wits at Malvern Hill, lie amused the
whole country for eight months with a
delusion about immense plans which
had no existence. He claimed and re-
ceived the credit for planning the ex
petitions to New Orleans and Roanoke
island, while be was in reality opposed
to them and 10 all coast expeditions
OF what use, then, would such a man
be at the head of a government He
has already had the whole resources Of
the nation at his disposal, and accom-
pIished nothing with them. Surround
ed with the means Of greatness, be
knew not how 10 use them He could
only wait until driven forward by the
current Of necessity. philadelphia Norh
