Nothing could be further from the truth than the assertion thati ft is waged (br any such purpose.

It hi been fairly demonstrated that it cannot be done while negroes remain at home to cultivate the fields and raise substance for the rebel army to feed upon. Democrats profess to be as rampant to have the rebellion put down as other people, but the moment you speak of making use of most potent means for accomplishing he work, namely, ef robbing the slavery, ef it sstrehgth; they say you must stick to the Constitution, forgetting that rebellion has deprived its participators and, abetters of the protection which the Constitution waa intended to afford to loy aLroen.j:mancipiaioo.ia esotfed to by making inof it millions of lives can be saved, and the only powerful resource which the conspiratorB have to rely upon taken away.

I What the Soldiers want ill Warm The July number of Halls Journal of Health contains the following excellent advice to those? who are writing to soldiers in the army "If you vfrite to a soldier, friebd or rel ative in the army, using a common envelope and a sheet of foolscup paper, you' may also add, without exceeding the weight for which a thiee ceot posisge stamp will pay, as much tea as a teaspoon Will take up twice, or as much black tr catenne pepper. such as is obtained from a good drug stcre under tne name ot 'capsicum, as you can take up at once with a common teaspoon.

and. the smaller; envelop of thin: paper to hold either. Chewing the tea, a pinch at a time, every hour or half hour while keep, ing guard, or under circumstances of great thirst, or ef excessive weariness or slerpi ness, will enliven, will modify thirst, will invigoristo, or will wuken up to a greater extent, considering the amount of tea used, and its perfect safety from ulterior ill re sults, such as fellow the use of alcohol em "But a teaspoonful of genuine 'capsicum, is worth tenfold its weight, of tea leaves, especiaty in summer, in many ways fur eanintple a single auartor of a pinch will save a man's life that quarter of a pinch being put in a sleepy sentinel's eye. If it don't waken him and everybody else within un Indian yell's distance, then it is not a prime article of capsicum. A single pinch, in it gl ss of flat or warmish water, will nullify these qualities, and besides' satisfying thirst, will invigorate and effectually prevent that uncomtbrtablo sensation arising from' having drank largely of water.

A good pinch, eaten at each meal, or whenever a cup of coffee, or tea or water is will always invigorate digestion, aids to prevent ucidity, and is, b. sides, great antagonist of the diarrhoea. dysentery, flux and "looseness, which, are the greatest scourges of all armies. A level teaspoon of capsicum daily, taken in eating or drinking, or both, or if taken a pinch at a time during the day or niuht, would do more real good, and that without ony ill result, thau ten times the cost in rum and quinine, as a preventive against chills and fever. 7 "Liquor' and quinine initate the soldier into intemperate habits they will wako up a love, a craving, a slavery to strong drink, which pepper and water will never do.

The latter invigorates like fo dj tho former inearly excites, then leaves weaker than before.1 A pinch of capsicum, which is simply pure cayenne pepper, will do a great ileal, more toward warming up a soldier, tow invigorating him. toward keeping hi in vigilant on guard, toward modifying thirst or fatigue, than the best glass ef gro ever swallowed. Capsicum goes lur ther, uud is more efficient iot all purposes than black, pepper. If by express or pri. vatcly, send half a pound nt a time in a tin bx.

If you have uothing else to send in your letters, nd a few pins or nt cdcls and some thread. Many have rccn the time when a string or a. pin would have been worth ten time its ordinary value. Write often to the Write lousr letters. Give all the news vou can ihii.k of.

Let every line be full of 1 ve I of kind, affectionate interest and encouragement. Be sure to inculcate a getierous magnan imity toward (boe. who so as to have aa few obstacles as possible to a cor dial coming together agaiu, when that good time comes, as it certainly will before 7,1 7 Important Order Rospaoting Absen Offioera and Privates. i WAB bKPABTMKSr. Wabinoton Ct.

Tr, D. 81st July, .1802. The absence of officers and privates from their duty, un der various pretexts, while receiving pay, at great' ex pease and burden to the Govern ment, makes it, necessary that effective measures be taken to enforce their return to doty, or that their places be supplied by those who will not take pay while render, ing no service.

i i SURVEYOR GENERAL WILLIAM! ROSS, ttw OT'IUUIII COUHTYY ip'i Ths Naws. The latest, advices from the James River, report all The Rebels attempted a few nights nine to sholl our shipping there, from the opposite side of the River, but accomplished nothing. A force was after Wards sent over which destroyed the woods and buildings which the rebels had. used to screen thorn during their attack. Our troops now occupy the ground.

A oi Our Country's The great crisis in our country's hiBtory in not yet passed, The decisive struggle is to be in Legislation and not in the battle field. The genius of liberty Iras more to fear from, the weakness of northern men, than from rebel bayonets. The liberties of the country are not to be destroyed by armed legions aa we have already proven on well fought fields. If at all it will be by, some disgraceful compromise, by which treason shall be rewarded, and the slave power again restored to dominion. To guard against that, the nation needs its best experience and soundest wisdom in the councils of the country for the next two or three years, or until the rebellion is effectually crushed.

If these conspirators are ever, restored to power it will be an eve) day for the future of the Republic. This people now know something of its moving spirit and ulterior designs after the experience they have had with it. Its generating has occupied a third of a century, and lias now assumed the attitude of open and hostile rebellion, and unless it is extinguished now a new generation Will have to fiht over tho battles of to day. The liberties of the country are secure only in the unconditional surrender of tho and the exile or death of the leading conspirators. Such a result is inevitable, unless it shnli be prevented by the weakness and timidity of northern men.

There is some danger that Pilate tike they may permit the pint and genius of the institutions of the Republic to be crucified, with the delusive belief that thereby permanent peace may be obtained. This, or the coming two yearn, will be the most eventful period of oar history, afieeting for weal or for woe countless generations. If there is public virtue enough to it charge well the duties of the hour, (aa we believe there is.) the future is safe, and the heroes of' 1978; wHI "have their counterpart in the heroes of 1882. The emergency is upon vs. and that the men upon whom the responsibility of amiding the Ship of State should be found equal to the trust, Is the earnest prayer of every man who loves his country.

Tbe Heed of Ken. The need of men in the field is so urgent, "that the time has passed for choice where they hall go or bowtjiey shall be got there. lien are wanted everywhere, simply as men. Regi. tnenu are wanted at every point, and wanted aa regiment.

Ten newly recruited regiments i i ik. At. relieving as many more whose service is of longer duration, and who are better pre par ed to join the columns of General Pope. the skeleton regiments now authorised are sufficient to enable the in to All their ranks, and 'if no direct help can be got autHcient to re emit them, let there be a draft at once for the new lever. Better by far to draft In time to get the quota of Pennsylvania in the field In time for the fn campaign, than, then to re emit by inches, and get it ready only by next priog.

1 It is of course highly desirable to recruit for the thinned ranks of regiments that art si ready in the several anny corps, but it is not advisable to attempt inipooiuilities in this line. The daily experience of all men ahowa that the popular choice is not generally that way, and it aaust net bo forgotten that the men naked to enlist will choose according to their ideas and act to ours. We cannot control them. They must be permitted to form new companies and new regrmenta even when wa would greatly prefer enlistment in the regiments and ooapa nice already firrmtJ. And yet, ht It net or be forgotten, the forces called for by the government must speedily be had.

The seven new companies called for from this county ought to be placed in the field by the cVase of August at the furthest Whatever agocy ia noiary to cTvct this purpose should be put in operation with energy proportioned to the emergency, and if that agency ia drafting, it ia only nsoeaasry to nuke the tact known to ensure the cheerful compliance ef the people.
