H@ The Yankees are using a new Mime
ball. tits made of two separate bores, one
of which is a hollow she'll, and the other
kind of cap, from which issues q short
leaden screw. On this screw is placed a
loose fitting piece of tin, wider than the ball
itself and very sharp. This is then fitted
in the hollow she'll. The object of this ap-
pears to be that where an artery may yield
to a ball it will almost to a certainty be cut
by this piece of tin. But if the ball should
enter a. man without taking off Sbe cap, the
chances are that when it is being extracted,
the tin will remain in the wound, aod by
constantly irritating the wound, eventually
poison the As sh and render the suffsref-'n

A NORTHERN DESCRIPTION OF TIE SIR
UAT1oN.-The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial gets off the
following happy hit Of street corner cam-r
paignerS:
WASHINGTON, May 2, 1854.
Everybody in Washington .aeemsto be
af1i icted with "situation on the Brain
which, however, is bu. patriotic anxiety
!or the success of the Ulion army; and
desire to demonstrate how easilyis eau be
Drought about, and how certainit IS to be
achieved. In; front of every hotel, aud at
every street corner, you will see little grcppsG
Of honorable gentlemen, aud gentlemen sbo
are not as honorable as they might be, per.
haps, discussing the relative Positions Of
Lee. and Graut ,aiths great vehemsace, and
demonstrating how Graut will flank Lee
srd get to Richnoud, or how Lee will flank
Grant aud try to get to Wsshingtoa--eEefy
proposition happily illustrated; by an en-
craving with the point of walking stick
in,rhe dust Of the, side walk. { Washington
is good place for such illustrations. .You.
can always sketch out pap Of tho world
either 10 the dust or the mud on the side.

-"That's Grants arm" ,.4s,..
eyes, very WE'LL" says the bystander.
Another straight line--"Thafs Lee
"Of course, that's plaio enough" ~
"Well,1 here's RichmondD.-aud the ar.
tist perforates little mud heap in the fsar.
of both lines.
The problem is now pretty nearly solved.
With the whole sidewalk to operate on, st
would be. very strange if Grant couldn't
swing his line around into the, rear of lees
and march into the rebel capital. In the
ardor of their patriotism the citizen cam
paigners usually neglect to give Lee q
chance to fortify-or even tosfall back be-
fore the invinclble columns Of. the Union
leaders. "Here's Grant; here's Lee; and
here's Richmond"-all done ih two strokes
and dot Of the walking stick. Carlysle's
t.Illfad 10 nutshell ''.is nowhere compSreds
with this laconic demonstration of the great.
problem of Grant Us Lee.', Wslking stick
strategy is the,tbiug after all. 1t will break
the back bone of the rebellion quicker than
anything I know of. ~

An Inoident of the war. :

of her heart, or in obedience to the require,

weeds for short time. Weeds became
the widow, she was speedily wooed and as
speedily won. In six or eight months -aE
time entirely too brief, even for the fastest

Let them forbear aggressions upon us
and the war is atsend. Ifs there be ques.
lions which requiresadj justment by negotia
tion, we have ever been willing and ore
still willing to enter into communication
with our adversarics in spirit ofpeace, sol
equity, and manly fraukuess. Strong in
the persuasion of the justice of our cause,
10 the gallaht'devotion of our citizen &sol

above all, in the gracious protection Of Hea'

siresfor peaceson terms consistent With our
honor and the permanent security of our
rights, and an earnest aspiration to see the
world once more restored to the beneficial
pursuits of industry and of mutual inter.
course and exchanges, so essential to its well
being, and which have been so gravely i6.
terrup,ed by the existence of this unnatural
war in America.
But, if our adversaries, or those whom
they have placed in authority, deaf to the
voice of reason and justice, steeled against
the dictates of both prudence and humanity
by presuuptuous and delusive confidence
in their own numbers, or those of their
black and foreign mercenaries, shall deter
mine upon an indefinite prolongatiou of the
contest, upon them be the responsibility of
decision so ruinous to themselves and so
injurious to the interests and repose of man
kind. t- -
For ourselves, we have no fear Of the re-
suit. The widest picture ever drawn of a
disordered imagination comes short of the
extravaganza which could dream of the
conquest of eight millions of people, resolved
with one mind ssto die freemen rather than
live slaves" and forewarned by'the savage
and exterminatiug spirit with which this war
has been waged upon them, and by the mad
avowals of its patrons and supporters, of
the worse than Egyptian bondage that a.
waits them in their subjugation.
With these declarations of our. disposi
tions, our principles, and our purposes, We
commit our cause to the enlightened judg
ment of the world, to the sober reflections
of our adversaries themselves, and to the
righteous abitrament of Heaven.
