One Of the most remarkable features of
military operations at present is the fact
that when ever our troops have followed
the suggestions made by cM Cellan in the
winter of lS6l-'22, they have met with sue
cess, and where those suggestions have
been disregarded, disaster has inevitably
resulted.
When General McClellan, in April,
1862, was preparing for his movement
against Richmond, via York river. Banks
occupied the same position in the Shen-
andoah valley that is now occupied BY
Sheridan In letter TO Banks. who was
then at Sratsbnrg he ordered him to ad-
vance on Stanton, making the movement
coincidcnt with that of Mcclellan on Rich
mOnd.
When Grant commenced moving On
Richmond, he attempted the same plan hy
moving Hunter mp the valley Hunter
whose forte appears to be the depressing
of women and children aud the suppress
sion OF newspapers, failed when he was
compelled to meet armed men At the
present moment the whole country is
awaiting anxiously Shcridan's advance
over the same route confident that if sue
cess ever attends The attempt against
Richmond, il will be by virtue Of this co
operative movement.

Not that Man, but Another Man.


The telegrnphic dispatches in relation to
the English " Peace Manifesto" say that 1t
wns brought to this country by Joseph Par
ker. This is mistake. The Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister P1enipotentiary wus
Joseph Barker, somewhat notorious In this
country years ago as an infdcl lecturer and
controrcrsialigt. Mr. Barker has been
everything by turns, and nothing long,"
He first appeared before the English people
us Wesleyan Methodist preacher. Hc then
took up the Unitarian doctrine. From that
belief lie turned to- the doctrines Of infidelity,
aud became shining light among the Amer
lean free thinkers. His debate in this city
with the Rev. DR.. Berg, some years ago, upon
Of Christianity, will be remembered by our
citizens. During his residence in this country
Barker WAS also an ultra Abolitionist, and his
denunciations Of slavery we're as bitter as
those Of Wendell Phillips and Vim Lloyd Gar
rison. After having enjoyed wide celebrity
among the " Friends Of Reason," and having
gone through the country lccturing upon
Slavery and Christianity Us twin barbarians,"
Barker fell from grace even among his I'D
mirers. After life Of Western adventure
he went back to England, where he Was
agnin converted" to Christianity and be-
came dissenting preacher. At the breaking
ont Of the rebellion he took up the defense
Of slavery with yehemencc Us Strong as that
which lie had once used in dcnouncing It, He
became an ltinerant lecturer employed by the
"Southcrn Independence Association" to
disseminate secession doctrines among the
English people. He now appears ns the am
bassadoT from his masters with this 'speace
petition" Barker is good speaker and able
in debate, but he is a man utterly devoid of
principle. Such fellow seems to be a pro
per tool for the English secesaionists, to
whom IN unscrupu!ous creature who posses
ses talent but no honesty may be made very
useful.

The rebels have had number Of their most

some captured guns Of ours, for the purpose
Of discovering Gen. Butler In one Of lis rides

Houses Scarce In Washington.

"The need Of dwellings in the city of
Washington is great; the population is con
stnntIy on the Increase, and already the ex.
orbitant rentals charged for all classes Of
habitstions compel, the tenants to sub-lct their
premises to an extent seldom approximated
by larger cities further north. A few facta
speak for themselves. On Massachusettsa ave-
one roof, which, at the present high rates Of
materials, did not cost oyer 5000. They have
rented for sixty dollars per month.
"a gentleman purchased a frame house
with lo1 for fourteen hundred dollars, which
he Immediately let to a responsible tenant for
one hundred and fifty dollars per month.
There are hundreds Of cabins erected in the
square, some Of them having but one room.
which rent for from twenty 10 thirty dollars
per month, and the worst feature In the case
Is, that more persons complain because uei-
ther house nor apartments can be had at auy
price, rather than at the high price they have
10 pay for them. 4 notable instance Illus
