Gen. Banks and the Red River
Campaign.

The Congressional Committee on the
Conduct of the War have completed their
labors. The Washington correspondent
of the Rochester Democrat states that "the
evidence bearing on the Red River cam,
paign is very damaging to Gen. BANKS,
and exhibits in him ah incompetency, an
inversion of all military tactics and un-
worthiness of motive, from the reproach
of which we will never recover. This
volume demonstrates that disastrous cam =.

TO ADVERTISERS,

The circulation Of the Philadelphia Age,
10 steadily and rapidly growing, makes it
u least as valuable q medium for adv, RUS
ing as any other commercial and business
newspaper in Philadelphia ! and the fact
that il reaches large class OF conservative
readers, scattered over o vast extent Of
country, who do not take any other Phila.
delphia paper, commends it, to an extra
ordinary degree, as a means of communi-
eating with the public not possessed by an y
other journal published in this city.
THE AGE is now on sure and per-
rnancnt foundation. The publishers could
easily fill their columns with the unsought
and most liberal commentators of the
pres throughout the country but they
prefer that il should stand altogether upon
claims to public confidence well-known and
established. 1t will be, as heretofore, the
support of true National, Conservative
Democratic, Union principles, opposed
alike to radicalism and fansjicism in every
form, and devoted TO the maintainance o
good Government, Law, and Order. Th'
revival of all the business relations of thu
country, consequent upon the suppression
Of the rebellion and the restoration o
peacs will enable the Publishers to make
number Of improvements in the variou
departments of this journal, and they
sherefore, respectfully solicit the suppor
Of all who wish to secure ona of the bes
Commercial, Literary, Business and Fam
ny newspapers 10 the country.
