There sre some things in which man

people, unlike my colleague. have read
the history of General Mcclellan. They
know his military studies, his travel and
observation, his pract,cal railroad life. his
mode Of dealing With men and bodies of
men, HE prudential reserve. his unfaiing
patience, patriotism, and confidence IN his
own resources. They know that the
enemy would have been glad to have had
him at the head Of their forces. They
know that he has never bundered; that
he is safe. if not brilliant; that his power
to surprise and combine are rare qualities
of his military genius; that his knowledge
of topography. engineering, and field
strategy. his method and industry. and
hs quick apprehension Of military
strength and weakness. eminently fit him
for this high command. Knowing this
and reasoning upon this, now that the
night is upon us. they will keep their
faith in him. and no hostile criticism Of the
gentleman here can shake that faith. The
attack of my colleague is like that of the
'pigmy with straw against giant

He would discourage all our efforts. and
make taxation weigh like useless burden
On an anxious and saddensd people. His
policy would disorganize the army, and
realize his theology by making hell on
earth laugh.er without giving us tbs
satisfaction Of future state where seces-

SICK HRADAcHE--Is sickness st stomach, a tendency to vomit, combined with pain in some part of the head, generally in the left side. It is caused by there being too much bile in the system, from the fact that this bile is manufac- tured too rapidly, or is not worked out of the system fast enough by steady, active exercise.-- Hence sedentary persons, those who do not walk about great deal, but are seated in the house nearly all the time, are almost exclusively, the victims of this distressing malady. It usually begins soon after waking up in the morning, and lasts day or two. or more. There are many causes the most frequent is, Arrangement of the stomach by late and hearty suppers; by eat ing too much after regular meal. five hours should, at least, intervene J eating after one is conscious of having had enough; eating too much of any favorite dish eating something which the stomach cannot digest, or sour the stomach. Any of these things may induce sick head ache all of them can be avoided. Over fatigue, or great mental emotion of any kind or severe mental application, have brought on sick head ache, of the most distressing character, in an hour it is caused by indulgence in spurious liquors When person has the headache there is no appetite the very sight of food is hateful the tongue IS furred; the feet and hands are cold and there is feeling of universal discomfort. with an utter indisposition to do any thing what ever glass of warm water, into which has been rapidly stirred a tea spoon each of salt and kitchen mustard, by causing instantaneous vom- iting, empties the stomach of the bile or undi- gested sour food, and grateful relief is often experienced on the spot; and rest, with few hours of sound, refreshing sleep. completes the cure, especially if the principal part of the next day or two is spent in mental diversion and out. door exercises, not eating an atom of food (but drinking freely of cold water or hot teas) until you feel as if piece of plain, cold bread and butter would taste really good" Nine times in ten the cause of sick headache is in the fact that the stomach was not able to digest the food last introduced into it, either from it's having been unsuitable, or excessive in quantity. When the stomach is weak, spoonful of the mildest, blandest food would cause an attack of sick head ache, when ten times the amount might have been taken in health, not only with impunity but with positive advantage.

 Those who are subject to sick headache" eat too much and exercise too little. and have cold feet and constipation. A diet of cold bread and butter, and ripe fruit or berries, with moderate continuous exercise Tn the open air, sufficient io keep up very gentle precipitation, would, of themselves, cure almost every case within thirty six hours.-D1..

We naturally look for some changes in such a
war as this. The successes of the Confsderates
have been for many weeks SO frequent and con-
tinuOus that we have been expecting something,
events. But although the Unionists have the
lens in their own hands, nothing seems to have
occurred which they can even magnify into a
victory. We might have anticipated that the
audacious attempt to invade a Northern State
would have been promptly repelled and severely
punished. But seems tie Confederate force Is
StW upon tie sacred soil Of Ohio. Tho Governor
gems seem unwilling to volunteer even 10 resist
an invader, and proclamation threatening a
conscription has been found necessary even in
an invaded State undoubtedly loyal TO the
Northern Confederacy.

- The rebellion would hare been COM
plete1y crushed out before now had the
pro-s1ayc1y party consented that the war
should be waged for the sole cnd Of saving
the Union But no! they insisted upon the
adoption Of q policy to save both together.
Slavery must ride On the same train with
Union, and the lamentable failure Of the
effort is seen By the world. Rlthcr than
quarrel with the pro-slayey democratic
organization, the Administration adopted
the pro-slavery programme for the conduct
Of the Wat. In its sincere desire to pre-
serve united North, it has permitted its
political opponents to manage the
war pretty much in their own
way. The policy Of the political
friends Of the administration has not been
tried Tor single hour since the lombard
ment Of Sumter though they are held re-
spo1sib1e for the want Of success in militia
y operations, because they are the party
IN power.

WHEN THE END WILL BE.-AIsny per.
sons are wondering when this war will
close. 1t is the Lords war. and it will
end just as soon as its object is accom-.
plished. At various periods since the
creation, the Lord has caused tremendous
upheavings. to work out His especial
ends. The exodus from Egypt and the
emancipation of the Children Of Israel
was one Of them. The same may be said
of the religious wars of the Reformation,
and of the American Revolution. The
present rebellion is likewise of the same
character. The Lord has determined that
Negro Slavery shall cease to exist in
America; and the sooner that is wiped
out. the sooner the war will end.

reason to believe that ten days will not elapse
before retreat will present itself to the minds
of the rebel leaders as the alternative of haz-
ards they will never choose to encounter; and
the retreat will be followed vigorously and
without pause by the National forces. If, as we

How TO PROPAGATE CURRANTs.-


In order to raise currant bushes from
cuttings so that they may have a clean


stem and but one set of roots, and those
at the lower end like seedlings, | take
cutting about ten incEes long and prepare
it in the usual way by cutting off the
lower end square. / then cut out the
buds, or eyes, excepting the three or four
uppermost ones which are reserved to
make a top. then stretch line, start
the cuttings by its side, eight inches
apart in the row, their ends one inch in
the ground, and mould them up four or
five inches in depth, like corn hills when
planted in drills. When they become
well established by having roots. which
will be in mid summer, level the mould
OF earth back to IFS former place. Should
any roots have started from the intended
stem, clean them off and plant them out
at one year old.


The advantage of growing bushes in
the above manner is that they will not
send up suckers as those do that have
been grown by setting the cuttings deep
