In glancing over the records Of battles, from

Of these conflicts, one is overs helmed with a
variety Of ofemotions, in which horror, wonder
and astonishment are predominant-horrora at
the Donslrous aggregate Of slaughter, won

ing such enormous losses, astonishing that a
ny one people less in number than the popu-
lation Of India can submit to such Wholesale
killing without determination. Does the read

the rebels was not "terrifc?' Is there a case
on record in which the carnage Of these grey

The telegraph states that the withdraw

si,ion to our entertainments at Bermuda
Hundred cannot be regarded as a defeat.
|, is sta:ed further that 1.-the object aimed
at was fully attained, and was decided
upon by Butler even if his whole com
mand had to be sacrificed" What was
that object? Briehy--to make a diver
sion in favor Of Grant. The country was
advised, through high official sources
that Butler had an army sufficiently strong
TO take Richmond VIII le Grant was enga-
ging Lee. In fact it was given out through
the same channels Of information that
Butler would occupy the Rebel capital on
the 18th inst. Instead Of accomplishing
that object. we are now told that the Pen
insular army, sixty thousand strong, were
obliged to withdraw to the entrenchments
at Bermuda Hundred. This reverse can
not be regarded as a defeat, and the apol-
ogy is that it was only expected that But
ler would keep the enemy engaged around
Richmond. so as to prevent supplies and
reinforcements reaching Lee. 10 accom-
/ pllsh this object the ADMINISTRATOR uuu
General Butler were willing to sacuhce
sixty thousand men, for that is the num-
Der, so the telegraph states, Of the army OF
the Peninsula And because these slxty
thousand men have not all been sacrificed,
and Cen Butler has been able to reach his
Notifications, hence his reverse must not
be regarded as a defeat We ask the
country to look at the entire indifference
with which the men who now have the
control Of public affairs regard the lives ol
the gallant soldiers who have responded
to their call for the avowed purpose OF pre-
ser,i ing and maintaining the government
The apology for the reverses OF Butler
show heartIessness and recklessness
which are without excuse. The blunder'
and incapacity of military leader, costing
the sacrifice of thousands OF valuable
lives is made to appear a necessity which
never existed, and is an after thought tt
excuse the failure of campaign which
had different purposes in view than those
now stated, and which might have been
successful with competent generals.-lndl

An AntediIuVian Curiosity,

Some workmen engaged in putting up q
new blacksmith shop at Johnstown, the other
day, were a good deal sstonished at finding
frog closely imbedded in the centre OF large
stone which one of them had broken. 1t was
at first thought that the frog was deau, but
soon after the stone was broken he revived,
and was about hopping of, when he was taken
in charge by bystander, aud placed in box
covered with glass, in the pattern shop, where
he has been visited by many of the curious IN
such matters The stone in which he was
originally broken forms mass Of rock OF con
glomerate sandstone, aud quartz formation,
and has been used for over thirty years in a
wall along the canal, whence it was taken to
be employed in the construction of the black
smith shop alluded to above.
The stone presented no appearance OF pre-
yious fracture, and the presence Of the frog
/ in the place where he was found can only be
accounted for upon the hypothesis that he
4 buried himself in the sand or mud on the ap'
proach of long ago winter, there to await
/ the coming OF spring, as ia the habit OF the
animal But before his spring came, some
couvusion of nature or action of the elements
/ impri isoned him so firmly, that he could not
/ get out, aud the mud or sand 10 which he bad
hid himself was subsequently converted "a
solid stone by exposure to the sun and air
/ through successive ages, ard there he remain

placed in them that Gen Burnside declared

defeat If it was the best route, why not
take it in the first place? We think this
