MCCLELLAN.
We do not tie encouragement for peace that aome
seem to be able to draw. from the Chicago convention
There s, no doubt, growing desire at tie North, that
peace should be a1e but their terms not on ours
The Northern mind not yet prepared to take in this
last alternative. 1t not sufficiently tired of the war
to stop it on thu condition Of separation and Southern
independence. To stop it short OF that now, would be
to ruin both parties-t would be to provide for COM
pusory union OF hatred hardly less destructive and in
fGitelv more oathsoms than state of open war. To
that there may be end, or the hope of end. OF
the other there would appear to be none.
II there be anything encouraging in the Northern
aspect of affairs it is in the growing frequency and gen
eraIty of the talk about peace, famarizng the minds
of the people there with the adea of peace and giving
rise to desire for peace, which may here
after produce its own fu6llment, eveE with
separation. The Chicago Convention does not
sem likely to forward this contamination very
much-perhaps it may retard it. Unless there be
something concealed that cannot guess, or un
less something in the future that we do lot at
all anticipate we think the of the Chicago nom
iBee is undesirable We think old ABE could only
prosecute tie war, and MCCLELLAN will do the came
thing, only with greater yigor and ability.

ing more serious going on than occasional skrnshng
and artillery duelling. The from the front this
morning is 5uragirg. The telegraph conveys the
gratifying intelligence that our forces have forced the
enemy from Jonesboro, who is retreating towards At
lanta.
Our total Losses, will be by the telegrams is
not over fifteen hundred that of the enemy is esmat-
ed over five thousand This disproportion is attributed
to the fact othe some pointscharged
n as maly ten lines deep Hardees corps is reported
in particular having fought with the most desperate
gallantry on the lst.
Reports from Atlanta state that no ou:rl ages have
been committed by the enemy and the only annoyance
felt so far have been from pering and robbery by
stragalers. Some OF the inhabitants who raised the
white e on the advent of the Yankees, met with
voleys of abuse for their cowardce anl declarations
that they he enemy) would not trust those who after
living go long in rebel city, had at length turned
against their fellow citizans.

The TUNNEL AT TUNNEL Hill BLOWN UP-A lady
who LIFT her home near Dalton on the 18th, reached
Macon On the 26th, having walked the whole distance
On the route, she met Mr.. Barngel of Dalton on ac.
qUantance, who informed her of the capture of Dalton
by Wheeler, and told her that he saw the tunnel at
Tunnel Hill blown up by Wheeler with three barrels
of gunpowder, and That 1t was done most efsctualy.
Mr.. Barrvell left Dalton on the 18th, and doubt,
although the lady could not furnish other dates, Dalton
surprised aud captured by Wheeler before daylight
the morning of hs l7n, and the tunnel was proba
bly, destroyed on the same day.
Tunnel Hill is 81 miles from Chattanooga and
miles from Dalton. 1t is in Murray County, Ca
where the mountains come together and form an sm.
phitheatre. The tunnel at this place, which Wheer
is said to have destroyed is 1477 feet long, 10 feet
high and with clear width OF II feet. 1t is in a
great measure cut through solid rock, being feet
thick at the base ard al the top. The approaches
to the tunnel are protected both sides by solid
sonry. A tourist writes that, coming out tie
other side of the mountains from thence 10 Atlanta
a distance of 100 miles, the road passes through
rather poor section of Georgia, and there little to in.
teest the traveller except here and there pretty town.,
or the crossing OF the river high and well built
bridge which we forced to admire for Inc beauty
and simplicity well as durability of their structure"

Yesterday one said to me, "All my blood is
In my head and chest. Ny head goes bumpe-
ty-bump, my heart goes bumpety- bump"
asked, show are your feet?" ,aN
"Chunks of Ice" she replied
said to her, "H you so dress your legs and
feet that the blood cannot get down into them,
where can 1t go2 IL can't 90 out visiting, II
must stay in the system somewhere"
or course the chest and head must have an
excessive quantity. So they go "bumpety.
bump,n and SO they mnst go until you. dress
your legs and feet in such way that they
shall get their share OF the blood. In the
coldest season OF the year, leave Boston for
a bit of q tour before the lyceums-going as
far as Philedelphia, and riding much In the
night without an overcoat; but / give my
legs two or three times their usual dress
During the coldest weather, men may wear
IN ADDITION TO their usual drawers, pair OF
Onamols-skin drawers, with great advantage.
Wnen we ride In a sleigh, or In the cars, where
90 we suffer? In our legs, of course. Give
me warm legs and feet, and I'll hardly thank
you for an overcoat.
By dear madam, have. you a headache, %
sore throat, palpitation of the heart, conges-
tion of the liver, Or indigestion? Wear one,
two or three pairs of wooden drawers, two
pairs of wooieni stockings, and thick,
warm shoes, with more or less reduction in
the amount of dress about your body, and you
will obtain the same relief permanently that
yon would derive temporarily from warm

riched by SO many important discoveries, when
the Doctor took him into aalitsle study, and
pointing to and old tea-tray on the table, con-
tanning few watch glasses, test-papers, a

Dress Of Our Extremists.

During the damp and cold season defno,ant
dress Of the feet and legs is Q fruitful source
of disease. The head, throat and liver are
perhaps the most frequent sufferers. q.
The legs and feet are far from the central
part of the body. They are not in great mass
like the trunk, but extended and enveloped by
the atmosphere. Besides they are near the
damp, cold EARTH ,s7,,.,f & ,.,-,s ..S e.a
For these aud other reasons, they require
extra covering. IL we would secure the high.
est physiological conditions, we must give oul
extremities more dress than the body We
men wear upon our legs,in the coldest season
but two thicknesses of cloth. The body has
at least six. Women put on Them four thick
nesses under the shawl, which, with its vari
Gus doublings, furnishes several more--ther
over all thick, padded furs; while their leo,
have one thickness Of cotton under a balloon
They constantly come to me about their pal

liver. s.il s'sl&hltJ ...s,...
