By the first of October, 1861, it numbered 185,000 men, aiid was in all rcspccts fit for iniiucdiiite service. The Rebel army at Manassas, which wa* opposed to it, was le=s than 70,000 strong- Hut the Army of the Potomac nevertheless remained iuuc'ive daring the whole Winter of 18GI-3, and did I not move till the Rebels voluntarily evacuated Manasaa in Itfarch. A victory thai Winter wofrld jiractjcally have annihilated tb'o rebellion. It is not now disputed that our army would have woti a victory if it" had been &atGen. McClellanis solely responsible for its fuilure to try. Second/#, The Blockade of the Potomac might have, proven ted .or raised at any time during that Winter by naval force with the co-operation of 1,000 troops.—r Gcri. Sjcufellan wlthdiew the troops and is »ole!y responsible for the continuance of the blockade. T/fffdtf, The Peninsular Campaign was Gon. MeClolhui's own phtn, reluctantly acquiesced in JDy tho 1 'resident, and undertaken by McClellan on the express condition that he should leave u force sufficient, in the opinion of all his oorps commanders, for the defense of Washington. They (iscd that forwent 05,000. But Gen. Mc- Clellan, in violation of his agreement and of (he orders of the President, withdrew, all but 18,000 troops from the Capitol, part ere or of those being raw, and no light artillery left them. Tho President., therefore, ordwtd the eorps of 'McDowell to remain for the'defense of Washington, and even including this corps the specified number of troops wa* not made up. Yet thip js what is termed an " interference with Gen. McClclian's plans," and is in substance the only ground of complaint againsttbe President, and the onjy excuse offered for the lailure of the Peninsular. Campaign. Fovrt/ily, McClellan took with him to the Peninsula more than 100,000 troops. The Rebels hitd less lhah 20,000 to resist his occupation of Yorktown. But lie sat Uown to bc«iegs it j th« Ilebels concluded to re-iiiI'orcti and rct-ist, and ulcer a mouth's delay the place was evaauated by the Rebels without firing a guu, jusi as Medullar] was ready ta open Ills batteries- Meanwhile part of McDowell's corps had been sent him. It is now known that Yorktown mlg$t liave been tukctt 'at once," and that Richmond would have fallen at once, and that Riefiihortd would have fallen with it. For the delay and failure McClellan alone is responsible. Fifthly, There"wtrfi" three other occasions when, if McCIcIlan had improvid his [ advantage, Richmond might have been tu[ ken by the troops whd eould at once have I been moved against it, viz: after tho battle of Williamsburg, Seven Pino#, and Malvern Hill. Each time he hesitated to advance till it was too late, and the Rebel capitol was saved. I Stitli/y, The retreat of the Army of the l'otpmao after and during , the Seven Days' Battles was precipitate and premature. The battles were all fought by the Coi*ps commanders, Gen. McClel"- lan's only share in the operations being to order and superintend tho neoessary retruata by night. Ahd when, finully, after, the splendid viotory of .Malvern Hill, won in his absence, bo ugniu fell buck to Harrison's Bur, he deqpairqd of his army, made no preparations for defence tor twuity-four hours after, bad resolved on surrendering his whole urtuy if again attacked, and Wn« only saved frqm thjit disgrace by a rain which prevented the enemy from moving his artillery. Seventhly, All possiblo re-enforcements were sent to McCieliau while he was on the Peninsula. The Icttors of the President,.of the Secretary pf War, and of Gon. Halleck conclusively prove that cveVy ef-, fbrt was made to sustain and re-enfore Mc- Clellan, that troops were even sent him which were doomed indispensable to the safety of Washington, and that tlicy wore refused him only when no more remained to be sont. EiCjhfh!y, Wbcn ordered to withdraw his army from Harrison's Bar, Gen. Mc- Cicllan delayed the execution of the ordor eleven days after its rcccipt. By that delay the safety of tho Army of Virginia and Washington was cmininently endan gered, and still more so by McClclian's subsequent failure to Heartily co-operate with Gen. Pope Ninthly, The battle of Antietam, which was an indecisive success, might have been a complete victory and would have boon followed by the destruction or capture of the Rebel Army, if ic hud been skillfully fought by MoOltllan, or if ho had renewed the attack next morniog as Burosido and Summer advised:*"*] D'ltthly, The protraotcd inactivity after that battle fVotn the 17th of September to tVUNfc f6tk of October Was uriueeeiteary, in direct defiance ofpOMtWept*teD% disastrous to thp National CSuae, was the salvation of the Rebellion. The sole responsibility for it rests on Gen. McCl«Han. The immedi-1 'aii cansc of his nemo vat seems to have been . this latest add most persistent insubordina?

A wbinatl who is happy because she can't help It— whose smiles eren the coldest sprinkle of misfortune cannot dampen. Men make at fcrrible mistake when they marry for beauty, for talents or style, 'l'he sweetest wives are those who possess the magic secret of being contented under any circumstauoes. Rich or poor, bittb or low, it makes no difference—tho bright little fountain of joy bubbles up just as musically in their hearts. Do they live in a log cabin, the fire that leaps up on its humble hearth becomes brighter than the gilded chandeliers in Aladdin's paluce. Were the stream of life so dark and unpropitious that the siTrtshine of a happy face falling on the turbid tide would not awaken an answering gleam.— Why, these joyous tempered people don't know half the good they do.

They had lived on earth once as wc do, and had been sinners liko Us. But they had repented of their silis, and gone to Christ for pardon.

They had felt themselves to be sinners, with no help and no hope in themselves, and had fled to Jcbus to save them. They looked to be saved because Jesus had died for them, and on that ground alone. Thus they were saved. Thus they got to heaven. They nevor could havo got thero in any other way. Try and remember this, try, both of you, never to forget, from this time, that the way to heaven is to wash your robes, and make them white in tlio blood of the Lamb—that is, go to Christ I with all your hoarts, seeking pardon thro' ! his blood.
