ADVICE THAT SHOULD BE HEHDED.
We desire to cali the attention of the af-
dicted to the merits Of Rcback's Blood Pills,
a purely vegetable cathaTic, free from mer-
curry and all mineral poisOns, and undOubt-
edly the best remedy extant for the radical
cure of nervous and sick headache, bilious
disorders and all affections Of the Liver and
Blood. They are, as their name indicates, a
Blood PiJEi they search the blood for disease
alld strike at the very root, thereby effect
ing not temporary but permanent cures.
As purgative, they are all that can be de-
sired, being mild and safe in their operation
and unquestiOnabIy should be kept in every
household, and, when taken in conjunction
with Robaclz's Blood Purifier, are unequal
ed for curing Scrofula, Skin Disease, Old
Sores, salt Rheum, Dyspepsia, Erygi pelasB
Tumors, Eruptions, and all diseases arising
from a disordered state Of the blood or dis
organized state Of the system. Try these
medicines and you viii never regret it. Ask
those who have used them, and they win
ten you they are the best Of medicines. n.

Is Grant a Great Geaeral 7

The New York World institutes very
seasonable inquiry into the only quality
for which General Grant received the
Radical nomination-his soldierly abili
ties. That paper justly observes that as
we are not to have war, there is less fit
ness in the selection of mere military
man than of statesman, as Presidential
candidate.
Yet, waving for the nonce the ques-
ton of craftsmanship, the World pro-
ceeds to discuss the fame of Gen. Grant
as soldier. 1t says:
we suppose none Of his friends will
seriously maintain that he is entitled to
be called great general merely because
he has commanded great armies, much
less because he has exposed and lost in
battle great multitudes of men. His
reputation rests upon the fact that all
his campaigns have been successful. But
success against such an adversary as
Pemberton in the West is no very signal
proof of abilities, unless he commanded
greater forces which he did not. Gen.
Lee was a more worthy antagonist; but
Gen. Lee was not conquered by fighting
him, but by exhausting his resources.
He stood on the defensive for nearly
year after General Grant assumed
command in the East, although the
crossed the Rapidan, tottering ana well
nigh spent by three years exertion in a
strenuous and unequal struggle. 1t is
certainly just to credit Grant with the
capture Of Lee; but there is debit as
we'll as credit side to the account.
What General Scott called the economy
of life by means of head work, will be
sought for in vain in the campaign of
General Grant. His successes have
been won by prodigal expenditure of
his soldiers. In his last and greatest
campaign he pitted an enormous army
against small one, and sacrificed twice
as many men as Gen. Lee bad under his
command. 1t is not justice, but adula-
iion TO praise him as il he had con-
quered an army as large as his own. 1t
is net justice, but an aifront to human
ity, to give him as much credit as if he
had achieved the same result without
such wholesale sacrifice Of men,"
The World proceeds to state from au-
tbentic sources, the respective forces
and Losses of Generals Grant aud Lee,
between the Rapidan and the James.
These figures have been collated with
great care, and their substantial accu-
racy is vouehed
Grant, on assuming command May
4, 1864, had Of effective men, besides
the reserve, when be crossed the Rapi-
dan, l25, 900.
Lee at the same date had an effective
force Of 80, COO.
Grants reinforcements up 10 the
hattie Of Cold Harbor, June 81, we're
81, 600.
Lees reinforcements, up to the same
date, were 1000. 4
"Grant's total force, including rein
forcements, was 20, 900.
Lees total force, including reinforce
ments, was 10000.
Returns TO their respective govern
menis showed that when both armies
had reached the james. June 10th. the
number Of Grants army that had been
put hors De combat was llT,000
Up TO the same dste, the number
Of Lees men Who had been pHt hors de
combat, was 1900.
"Tbe two armies then met in front Of
