TWENTY.SEyENTH ANNIVERSARY
THE NEW YORK MERCURY.
THE PRIDE FTHEFIRESIDE.

In the prime of vigorous In ellectual man.
Hood the Phoenix of The weeklies begins its
flight for the new year, over the weeks of its
tagging and hfeless contemporaries, with its eve
fixed upon the sun, beneath which it owns no
rivalry.
The war, which has toppled down whatever
is shallow and baseless, has written no wrinkle
on the bright agis of our success. Our feat
ures for the issue of 1865 shake the pillars of
what has heretofore been deemed imperial in
serial literature. Both sides of the Atlantic
render us tribute. We sh all continue the thrill
ing romances of Miss NJ. E. Braddon, necro-
nancer of the strong, dark passions, to whom
we pay more money annually than the entire
capital of our imitators, and add to our Amer
lean staff the champion jester of the cap and
bells, Josh Billings, who will commence, with
the first of January, series of his ell-known
inlmitable comic papers, written expressly for
US, in his irresistibly convulsive vein. Harriet
Z. Prescott, the most polished and imaginative
sketch writer living; P. T. Barnum, the world
famed Snowman and photographer; Miss M.
A. Earle, Fairfax Balfour, DR.. j. H. Robinson,
and 4" Ned Buutline," renowned and versatile
novelette, writer's, will exc out the sparkling
contributions of such facle poets, feulletonists,
humorists, critics, travellers, paragraphists,

meroIs enough and clever enough to run all
the newspapers on the Continent.
The vivid pencils Of barley, Mcclellan, and
White, the first draughtsmen of the age, will
make the new volume PICTORIAL; and whatever
OF fugitive or meteoric note may appear during
the year, will at once be engaged and made
available.
In addition to its crisp and telling editorials;
its delectable Gossippers' Club, in which the
aptest and wittiest poems, caricatcres, and bur.
lesques of the time first appear; and its CO.
quettish Ladies' Promenade, to which all the
mothers, sweethearts. daughters, wives, and
widows OF the land subscribe their experiences,

TIE object of the present war differs from
those in which nations are engaged, mainly in
this: that the purpose OF ordinary war is to
conquer a peace, and make treaty on advan-
tageous terms: in this contest it has become
necessary to crush population sufficiently
numerous, intelligent and warlike to consti-
tute a nation. We have not only to defeat
their armed and organized forces in the field,
but to display such an overwhelming strength
as will convince all our antagonists, especially
those of the governing, aristocratic class, Of
the utter impossibiliry of resistance. Had we
been successful in the recent battle, (Manas-
sas) it is possible that we might have been
spared the labor and expenses Of a great et-
Tort
Now we have no alternative Their sue
cess will enable the political leaders of the
rebels to convince the mass of their people
that we are inferior to them in force and cour-
age, and to command all their resources. The
contest began with class, now it is with a
people-our military success can alone restore
the former issue.
By thoroughly defeating their armies, TAX
ing their strong places, and pursuing rigidly
protective policy as to private property and
unarmed persons, and lenient course as to
private soldiers, we may well hope for a per-
manent restoration Of peaceful Union. But

The next instant immerse the burned

The dry -four for burns is the most ad-
mirable remedy ever proposed, and the

the principle of its action is, that, like
the water, it causes instant aud perfect
relief from pain by totally excluding the

any thing, not even his temptation to
keep it.
We'll, my boy, you've done Hobly;
now I would advise you to take it to the
man, and see if it belongs to him, and if
not, I will advertise it for you. Here is
my address, if you wish to see me at any
time, SO good-by for now.
It was late in the afternoon when Joe
started for Mr.. Aroher's, as he knew
most business men were not at home IN
til then. He was not long in finding the
place, a handsome brown stone front, and
he felt little timid as he rang the bell.
Can see Mr.. ArcherY he asked Of the
servant.
what can you want with him, I'd ike
to knOw?' said the girl GROSSLY, glancing
down at his patched clothes.
'Iwant to speak with him, if you please
replied Joe with some spirit.
We'll, pH see.
Joe waited on the steps, and in mo-
ment pleasant looking elderly man came
out and inquired his errand.
Have you lost anything, sir?' asked
Joe cautiously.
well, I should rather think I lad
but what do you know about it, boy?
have you found pocket book2'
Yes, sir, I have; viii you please de-
scribe yours; I think this must be it,
said Joe, grasping it tightly in his poe
ket.
Come in, and well see about this;
when did you find it2 I want to know
all about it.
Joe told his story in a straightforward
manly way, and Mr. Archer listened in
silence.
Now, my boy, what sent you here?
was there a letter in it directed to Simon
Archer, and FIVE hundred dollars in bank
billsP
Yes, sir, its all right, and joe han
ded it over.
Mr.. Archer counted over the money,
not dollar gone, then be glanced at Joe's
torn cap and patched clothes.
We'll, sir, I am glad to see that you
are an honest boy, and if you will come
to my counting room, No - Broadway
I can give you place where you can dc
better than you seem to be doing now
and here is something for present wants
(handing him twenty dOllars); now dom
forget the place.
'Thank you, sir; I didn't expect any
reward, only did what I thought wa.
right
That's it; always stick to that, anG
you will be sure to prosper, said Mr.
Archer, briskly; now, my lad, shall
look for you in day or two
Joe carried light heart home tina
night, and when he told the story to hi
aunt and Elsie, they could scarcely credi
it; twenty dollars was quite a little for
tune to them.
Well, the result of it all was, Joe go
good situation; and is now ina fai
way to make an active, upright busines
man. Aunt Hannah and Elsie are see
ing brighter days, and all are learning t.
put their trust in the Giver of all thes
mercies; while Dick Duncan is spending
few months now in the House OF Cor
rection.

The force must be supplied with the neces=
sary engineer and pontoon trains, and With
transportation for everything save tents. It's
general line Of operations should be 50 direct
ed that water transportation can be availed
of from point to point, BY means Of the ocean
and the rivers emptying intoik An essential
feature Of the plan Of operations viii be the
employment OF strong naval force TO protect
the movement Of a feet of transports intend
ed to donyey a considerable body of troops
from point to point Of the enemy's sea4coast,
thus either creating diversions and rendering
it necessary tor them to detaOh largely from
their main body in order to protect such Of
their cities as may be threatened, Or else lan-
ding and forming establishments on their
coast at any favorable places that opportuni.
ty may Offer This naval force should also
cooperate with the main army in its efforts
to seize the important seaboari towns Of the
rebels.
It cannot be ignored that the construction
of railroads has introduced new and very
important element into war, Tor the great Ia
cilites thus given for concentrating at partie-
ular positions large masses of troops from re-
mote sections, and by creating new strategic
points and lines Of operations.
Il is intended to overcome this difficulty
by the partial operations suggested, and such
others as the particular case may require. We
must endeavor to seize places on the railways
in the rear of the enemy's points Of coneen-
tration, and we must threaten their seaboarj
cities, in order that each State may be forced
by the necessity of its own defence, to dim
inisb It's contingent to the confederate army.
The proposed movement down the Missis-
sippi win produce important results in thil
connexion. That advance and the progress
Of the main army in the east viii materially
assist each other by diminishing the resist
anoe to be encountered by each.
