In some respects it may be so, but as compared with the aggregate interests affected by the operations pf the contest, it is not. Had this wnr come to an end in a brief period it would have settled nothing. The rebellious south could not in any short time have suffered enough to teach her people the folly of the movement into which they allowed themselves to be percipitated. 1 here was real need of a great contest like this to convince the world that the people of these free states are not sordid, mercenary, cowardly or base. Such sacrifices as we have made have no parallel since the days of the Napoleonic wars, and those which preceded them under the Republic. But much more waj such a protracted conflict needed to show our actual military resource", and inculcate a wholesome respect for the nation and its people abroad, and at tho same time to try conclusions with the boastful aristocracy of the couth, which fancied it a matter of perfect ease to build up a southern military power, and affected a sublime contempt for the mudsills of the north.

E'en so,—I feel it thus to-day,— Mid all the cares and griefs of life: Tho' the one#- raven locks are gray, My spirit broken with the strife; I can look back upon the hour When Truth was Truth, and Love waa Love! And Faith asked not a golden dower But only its reward above. The trouble, I think, begins with the doetors. Nothing can be done without an official examination, and thoy don't examine a quarter fast enough. There should be half a dozen examining boards. Yet slow as they are, the papers will be gone two or three weeks to Washington fur approval.— They should examine every man at oncc; if he is down sick, send him to a hospital; if well, to his regiment; if incurable, discharge him. Send them off somewhere, anywhere, but for God's sake, don't keep them there to die by inehes. Hundreds of lives, I doubt not, have been uselessly, recklessly sacrificed there already, and hundreds more will be, unless Congress applies the remedy, for the Medical Department won't, or it could have done it long ago. These are conclusions to which most reflecting persons in the free States havo come in the progress of this war, and with them the dread of a protracted contest has vanished. Gain has ceased to be the idol ol the American. Glory has been installed in its place. And what is this thing called glory ? Does it pertain only to victory or to conquest ?" Of what elements is French glory constituted? Is it not a mingling of terrible with trinraphant memories of Waterloo and Marengo, of Moscow, the Bcresina, Leipsic, the Peninsular reverses, Austerlitz, the fall of the Empire, and the like 1 We think so. The victories won by the republic and the Empire would havo been nothing like what they now are to the readers of history „were it not for the perils and sufferings, the awful disasters, the sacrifices, the reverses thro' which France waded in blood and horror to sccure the prize. . \\ aterloo derives less of glory from its victors than from its vanquished. Who now feels any interest in the triumphs of Marlborough ? Yet they were tremendous victories. Turn to the history of the revulution, and less interest attaches to the victories of Yorktown and Saratoga than to the sanguinary struggles of Trenton, Monmouth, Princeton, Germantown and Brandywine. Thus it has been throughout our whole career. We dwell as muoh upon the dark pages as upon the brightest.— We do not shirk the horrors of Valley Forge, or of Arnold's inarch through the wilderness of Maine to Qacbeo, or his treason at West Point, or Hull's surrender at Detroit, or the capture of the Chesapeake by the Shannon.

If he wants to sell some articles for others his sickly appetite will relish, which is according to army regulations, the ration is stopped. The presumption is that when soldiers are short, in such a place as Alexandria, there is a grass neglect of official duty or thieving officials somewhere, for the Government is not at fault. No soldiers were ever so bountifully furnished as ours are now.— And there is not one particle of necessity or excuse for suffering, or even hard fare in this or any other camp so easy of access, if officials do their duty as the men will do theirs. respectfully limited Corner of Main A William Btrects Pittston, June 21,1*69 TKKM& %mm mm m a r * Tf* ••• fl I I'.

The New York Tribune, first issued in 1811, now in its 22nd year, has obtained both a larger and a more widely diffused circulation than any other newspaper ever published in America.— Though it has audi rod. in common with other journals, from the volunteering and departure of tcus of thousands of itd patron* to service in tho war for the Union, its circulation ou this Oth day of December, 18C2, is as follows: It is pitiful enough to ace bo many poor, broken spirited, crippled fellows gather around a man who comes in to look up a friend, and plead with tears and offers of all their four, or six, or eight months' pay, for many of them haven't had a cent in six months, if bo will only help them out. They have asked, and looked and waited, month after month, to be examined. They think if they have some member of Congress or influential friend to give in their names, they will receive attention; and so they will. But alone and unaided they look upon all effort as useless. If they make complaint of abuses, they say they are gruffly repulsed and told to mind their own business. This for men living perhaps in luxury at home, and quite superior in pbsition and worth to many of their petty tyrants, comes a little tough on true, free born American citizens. And thus the brave, high-spirited, enthusiastic young men who patriotically left friends and luxuries, and all the heart calls a home with a glowing enthusiasm to carry the old flag bravely through the battle storm, or die beneuth its starry folds, becomes the spiritless, dcjectcd, ruined, objects of pity, caring little whether he lives or dies. Kir, it is one of the saddest sights of my life. And the rouiedy is with the press «nd the people. Let them set their Cougressmeu at work, for they can reform these abuses if they will.—Cor. Phila Evening Bulletin. So it hus been in the present war, and all its events have in their way contributed to strengthen the national character, and foster the passion for glory. In fact, through this sea of blood and suffering, the great llcpublic of the Yankees is becoming the world's classic, and it is worth all that it has cost us of money and lives to have achieved what we bave, and to be what we feel ourselves. Let no man be ashamed or weary of this war. It is destined to live in history as one of the most remarkable coutests of modern times. DRESS' PATTERNS.

His fuel he brings on his back two or three miles, having to take the limbs cut last winter at that. 1 saw at least a dozen men carryinglhcir bundles of sticks thus to-day, like tho old man in the child story, who was met by death on the way. And yet 1 saw at least twenty cords of good dry wood piled up in camp ! I asked ono in charge why they did this, and he thought they didn't—said it wasn't necessary—yet I saw it, and it is done every day. The papers have said that several tnen have froza to death in one cold night while thus engaged. He said but ono had died by his pile of sticks, and they thought he was murdered ; one was found dead iu the privy, but they didn't think he froze to death ? Heavenly consolation to his friends that will bo, won't it 7 I asked the boys why they had to back wood when there was wood in camp. They said they got part of a stick from some under officer to cook their food sometimes, and sometimes they didn't—never half enough for cold weather. I asked why they did'nt cut a clump of timber standing half a mile or more from camp. They said that was guarded, and the guard had orders to fire on tho trespasser—that a few of them cot some rails one cold night and a guard of soldiers cockcd their guus and compelled them to abandon them.

Wo believe that not otherwise can a fuller and inure accurate view of the progress and character of this momentus conflict bo obtained than through the regular perusal of our columns. And we earnestly solicit the cooperation of all friends of the National cause, which we regard and uphold as that of Universal Humanity, to aid usiu extending its circulation, ISTo. 115 Warren Street, A Scotch parson, in the Bump time, said in his prayer, "Laird bless the Grand Council, the Parliament, and grant that tbey may all be hang-together."

I heard an assistant surgeon say that a young soldier of his ward wus then lying in liis tent on the ground, with a raging fever, and had been for 24 hours, because he hud no vacant bed in the hospital. I remarked that such a state of things ought to be exposed. He roplied, " you can't say to much against the abuses here, or make them as bad as they are.
