THI CAMPAIGNS OF tflB ARMY OP ,. . .... THE POTOMAC . , i. . Under this title Mr. William Swinton hag issued from the press of Mr. C. 8. Richard son, of New York, a toyal octaTO volume of 640 pages. A cotemporary, in a notice of this work, says : - --- -- To the performance of this task Mr. Swinton brought ' several Important dvan. tages. He shared the vicissitudes' of the Array of the Potomac from the beginning to the end of the war. As an army corre spondent to the public journals ho demon strated the possession of rare capacity for delineating army movements, and the still higher ability of forming an accurate judg ment of plans of compaign and the execu tion thereof. The judgment pronounced by Mr. Swin ton upon Gen. McClellan does not war rant the passionate admiration of his ve hement partisans. That judgement is tlmt his military capacities and aptitudes, con siderable in extent and value, arc much better suited to the cabinet than the field So far Mr. Swint'nn confirms the opin ions of the radicals, in Congress and out. But our author careful to sustain his con. elusions by proof. Take an illustration. It will be remembered that when General McClellan lay with his army in front of Washington during a large part of 1861-2 he insisted he was outnumbered largely by the enemy opposed to him ; and that the rebel forces were much superior to his own in equipment .and discipline. , It is now demonstrated that he had 130,000 men at his disposal for active operation, while the forces opposed to hira never exceeded 62, 000, and sank as low as 44,000 ; and theso opposing forces were suffering under a lax ity of discipline, a demoralization of tem per, inferiority in' arms, equipment and transportation, which made it impossible for them to do anything but retreat if McClel lan had made an advance. So at Yorktown. When General Mc Clellan began that useless siege he had a magnificent army of 80,000 men. General Magrudcr had only 11,000; and of these, he was able ' to bring to the point of opera tions, no more than 5,000.' Yet there Gen. McClellan remained in the mud, a full month, digging trenches, until the forces against him rose to 80,000. When Gen. McClellan made the assault, the enemy was gone. r , ... Thus is it demonstrated that the charge against Gen. McClellan by the radicals did not proccod from jealously of his fame, but from undubitable facts, proving his utter incapacity for the position he held. Of Generals Burneide, Pope, Hooker and Meade, our author's judgement does not differ from that of most intelligent civilians throughout the country. In respect to General Grant, large abate ments are made from the popular estimate. He gives the Lieutcnnnt General credit for great tenacity of purpose in the pursuit of the main object, but detracts from his abili ty to manoeuvre successfully large masses of troops. . Jlia success , in taking and over throwing General Lee aud capturing Rich mond is attributed to his superior iuflcii bility of will, and to the exhaustion of the Confederate resources of men and material . President Lincoln fell . into the mistake of entrusting the chief military authority . to men who did not coincide ' with' him in opinion as to the ends for which the war should be waged, and the manner of waging it. It was the first time a government, free to choose, deliberately elected in time of war, to entrust the command of its armies to its political enemies. It was this blun dcr of President Lincoln's that protracted the struggle. Perhaps there was a provi dential ordering in it, however, for the lengthening af the war caused it more com. pletcly to serve the ends of Liberty any humanity. "DECtiMKO Honors. Win. II.

We find the following important informa tion in regard to a contemplated new rail road in the Pottsville Miners' Journal, of last week. This will open another ncr: route to Philadelphia: ' '. ' ' "We learn from a reliable source, that the Rtock of tho Manufacturers and Consumers' Railroad, leading from Philadelphia through Schuylkill County to Sunbury, has been taken by heavy capitalists, and arrangements are now making to place corps of engineers on the route to locute tho road. We need only state that there is abundant room for another road to meet the trade of this re gion ; and as it is to be built with cash, its cost will not be much more than one-half expended on other avenues, which will give it great advantages in transportation, while it will be filled with tonnage as soon as built and rolling stock placed upon it. There is no better opportunity for invest ment in tho country, because for' reasons stated above, it can scarcely have a rival. It is hardly necessary for us to state that the whole business community and land-holding iuterest is . in favor of building tho new road." .,. stupendous l'rmid In Pcnneylrn nla Arret of Culver, lVnn Ac Co. . A new phase in the failure of Culver, Penn & Co., has just been developed at the Audi tor General's office, Harrisburg, which the Telegraph of Saturday afternoon stales thus: The Petroleum Bank at Titusville, Craw- ford county, and the Venango Bank of Frank'in, Ycnongo county, had deposited with the Auditor General something like a million and a half of United States securities, as security for their circulating medium. By a rule in the Auditor General's 'office, as the notes of these banks were sent to that de partment for cancellation such securities were returned to the officers of said banks in amounts equal to the notes cancelled. . It is alleged, now, that Mr. Culver, with others implicated, who were neither officers nor ageuts of the Petroleum or Venango banks, procured from the Auditor General's office the securities thus deposited, .that tho officers connected with the Auditor General's office could not have but known that these securities were not being possessed by the officers of said banks, from tho very fact that they were sent hence irom the Auditor Gen eral's office to the branch banking house of Culver, Penn & Co., New York city. And General Slenker assumed a fearful responsi bility, whon he thus permitted irresponsible parties to carry from the Auditor General's office, a million and a half of money, to which they had no claim. The question now arises whether, by the act of the late Auditor General, the State is not made re sponsible for this loss. If Culver, Penn & Co., were officers con nected with the Petroleum or Venango Bank, in drawing this money and sending: it to New York, as they did, they were acting under false pretences. ' If they were not offi cers, then they were clearly guilty of embez zlement. The people of the oil regions, by the fai lure of Culver, Penn & Co., have lost nearly six millions of dollars. To the loss thus entailed, the reckless mismanagement of the Auditor General's office while, under the control of Democratic officials, a million and a half of dollars is likely to be added, unless tho Commonwealth can be made responsible for this mismanagement, when the amount will come out of the pockets of tax-payers. Since the above was written and in type, we learn that the Auditor General has ap pointed Messrs. II. C. Alloman, E. C. Wil liams and Thomas J. Jordan, of this city, a commission to examine the affairs of the Venango Bank. The Auditor General, in tho official paper announcing this appointment, declares tnat tins bank lias committed an act of insolvency, of which be has been furnished witli satisfactory evidence. The Titusville Herald of Saturday anncun ces the arrest of Culver, Penn & Co., as fol lows : . Yesterday morning Messrs. C. V. Culver, L. II. Culver and John R. Penn, comprising the firm of Culver, Penn & Co., were arrested at Franklin, bv the Chief of Police from Hamburg, upon a charge of emoezzienieni ana irauu.

Lewis , Cass "died, In Detroit, Michigan, on Sunday morning,' tho 17th lust., aged 88 years. J Lewis Cbbs Was born in Exeter, N. HW the Othdayof October, 1782. His father bore a commission in the Revolutionary army, and took part in the battles of Bunker Hill, Trenton, Princeton, OeTmwton, &e. The'young Lewi, was educated I at txcter, find studied t law at JIariotta. - Ho was ad- Stf . itf I-- n" with success during several years In 1800 he was elected to tho Ohio Legislature. Be inir placed on the committee instituted to Inquire into tho movements of Col.. Burr, h iinnd drafted the law which enabled the local authorities to arrest the men and boats engaged J a that enterprise on their passage down the Ohio. "He also drew up the ad dress to Mr. Jefferson, embodying the views of the Ohio Legislature on the subject. In 1807 Mr. Cass was appointed Marshal of the State, a position which he filled until 1813. In the war of 1812 he volunteered to join the forces at Dayton under General Hull, and was named Colonel of tho Third Ohio Volunteers. Colonel Cass commanded the advanced guard when the army crossed from Detroit into Canada, and drew up the pro. clamution' addressed by the General to the inhabitants of that country on their arrival in it, and commanded also the detachment which dislodged the British forces posted at the bridge over the Canards. Shortly afterward Col. Cass was included in the capitulation which - ensued on tho signal defeat of tho American arniw and after ivrlking his report at Washington, was appointed to tho Twenty-seventh Regiment ot lniuntry, and, after a short interval, pro moted to tho rank' of Brigadier General. . Ho took part in tho pursuit of Gen. Proc tor, and in the triumph at the Moravian towns. At the close of the campaign ho was left in command of Michigan, with his headquarters at Detroit, a command ho ex changed for tho post of Civil Governor over tho sume State in October, 1813. In 1814 he was associated with Gen, Har rison iu a commission to treat with the In dians, who had been hostilo to the United States d uriuiz the war. In 1819 he esta blished himself permanently with his family in Michigau. From the year 1819 to 1828 Gen. Cass was the main instrument in the various treaties concluded during these years between the .United States and differ ent. Indian tribes located .along its entire frontier. In 1828 he was mado President of an historical society established in Michigan, and in the following year delivered an in augural address, embodying the early his tory of the State, and bringing it down to the period when it became a part of the Union. In 1830 ho received the degree of LL. D. from Hamilton College, New-York. In 1831 he was made Secretary of War by tho then President, Gen. Jackson. It was during his tenure of this office that the war of the Seminole Indians broke out, a calamity which by some has been attributed to his want of judgement. In 1830, the same President appointed him Minister of the United States to France, where ho published a book, entitled '-France, its King, Court and Government," in which Louis Philippe and his supporters are somewhat lavishly praised. In 1842, President Tyler ' having been placed in power by the death of Gen. Harri son, Geu. Cass was at his own request, re called. From his return to America, many nets of his public life are felt to bo perplex ing, not to say irreconcilable. Ho now de clared himself in favor of a high protective tariff, n distribution of the proceeds of the public lands, and of the constitutionality of a bank of the United States. ' Theso views brought him in close alliance with Gov. Porter of Penn., and that portion of the Locofoco party who had a leaning to those measures. Ho was afterward elected to the Senate of the United States, in which he had always held a prominent position. Being now in a position of influence he coai menced bidding for the Presidency. Accordingly, a public meeting in Ken tucky was got up in 1843, when he was recommended as a candidate for the Presi dency. He next espoused the annexation of Texas and the war with Mexico for addi tional territory in order to promote the ex tension and propagation of slavery; But in these, as in some former measures, he soon became perplexed. Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced his celebrated pro viso against tho extension of Slavery in a free Territory. This was a Democratic measure, popular in the free States and odions in the South. The course pursued by Cass was to make a speech for the pro viso and to vote against it. Then come the repeal of tho protective tarifTof 1842 which be . had approved and recommended. This also was a Democratic measure : he dealt with it after the same fashion. Ho made a speech in fuvor of the tariff and then voted to repeal it. Nevertheless, in SDite of his drawback. the General was able to contest the nomina tion to the Presidency of the United States in 1848, and, though defeated, to secure the electoral votes of half the States in tho Union. During the.PresideutsTiip of Gen. Pierce he was a forward speaker on all great questions, and his appointment by .Mr. Bu chanan to the post of Secretary of State caused great uneasiness in England, in con sequence of his aggressive tendencies and his hostility to that Power during the at tempts to settle the Oregon dispute. But, as in the case of Mr. Buchanan, no antece dent expression of opinion was allowed to overrule public utility aftc his accession to power; and although uncomfortable reports respecting Gen. Cass's bias against England got abroad during the San Juan difficulty, tranquility was not disturbed. ... Gen. Cass has published, during Lis long career, several works of ability, among which we may mention "Inquiries respect ing the History, Tradiiions,.Languago, &c, of tho Indians living within the United States, Detroit," &c.,; "Historical and Scientific Sketches oX Michigau," &e. The General was a total-abstinence man, having never, it is said, tasted sniritous liquors in his life. Heroic The St. Yacinthe (C. W.) Courier of May 28th has the following : r , As a train of the Grand Trunk was passing through this locality dnring- the nijiht a young gentleman, Mr. Bachand, noticed that a house was on lire, while the people seemed not to have wakened up. He urged the conductor to stop the train, or at least to slacken it, but met with refusal. The cour ageous young man leaped, however, from the cars, broke his leg, and yet crept to the burning house, which was that of Mr. Urgelc AJesmarais, merchant. J he tamily were all asleep, as Mr. Baqbr.nd had supposed, and be roused them in time to save their lives, with one exception, that of a young, lady twenty-two years old, a niece of Mr. Des niarais.

Tho indications that war will soon break out arc increasing. There are various unauthenticatcd rumors from Vienna, including one that Benedek had been ordered to enter Silesia, and that a forward movement had commenced; also, that Count Karcly had protested at Berlin against the military measures of Prussia in Holstein, and that his withdrawal from Ber lin was imminent.

The New York Herald, of the 17th inst. mentions the following cases of allvcrcd cho lera which were reported bv Dr. Harris aa having been received on the day previous '. uuius uurncr, a larmcr, arrived from his home in Grafton, New York, on Thursday morning, and became the guest of a relative residing at No 157 Wavcrly place. lie was in good health, spent the evening with the luuiny, ate moderately and slept well, in an apartment that was as perfectly ventilated as most dwellings. He took an early break fast, and then went down town, accompan ied by his friend, and while in the lower part r,f 1, ... r . ' . 1. . ui uo wij noanciteu ilu a copious, pnin le8S diarrhoea. At 10 A. M. he was conveyed to Wavcrly place, and at half past eleven Dr. Warner reported that tho patient was in a collapse ; he died before ten P. M. The case is icpoitcd as typical of cholera, and was treated according to the regulations of tne uoaru oi Health. Dr. Harris also reported two additional cases of supposed cholera in Oak street. One occurred yesterday, at No 30 Onk street, and resulted in the death of the victim yester day morning. The other case is said to be at No. 1 Oak street, and is still undecided. It is not positively asserted that either of the latter cases can be called Asiatic cholera cases. Oak street is situated in a very filthy locality, and is known as an unhealthy neighborhood. The health authorities would not positively assert, however, that either may be attributed to the epidemic. . If the experience of the past six or seven years on board the floating hospital is to go for anything, cholera is not communicable by personal contract. During this period, among all the nurses or visitors who have waited upon the victims of this disease not one has received an injury therefrom. In deed, so thoroughly have the superinten dents of that hospital believed that cholera, yellow icver and the like are not contagious, that they have had no hesitancy whatever in taking their family on board and remain ing for weeks at a time, whilo there were putients there sick with one or both of these maladies, or unto death. In 1862 the super intendent of the hospital took his son on board as a clerk, and his little children were not harmed by a long stay where men were brought daily sick with the most malignant form of the most malignant fevers. Cholera is communicable by means of infected cloth ing. Find some means af disinfecting the clothing and there is no means left by which the disease can be communicated. STEAM AS A DISINFECTANT. .That etean) can do this has been proven beyond all question or doubt. It is but a short thncainco that .Dr. Farr, ono of; the most distinguished meu in Europe for his own knowledge of sanitary affairs, in a letter addressed to the foreign corresponding sec retary of the Health Board, mado the state ment that in London and Liverpool the use of steam as a disfectant had taken the place of everything else. Its utility for this pur pose, as many other things of tho highest importance to mankind have been before, was first discovered by accident. During the Mexican war the United States steamer Vixen, which was on duty off Vera Cruz, had become so grievously infested with ver min that the officer in command determined on roasting them out. Sending all hands on deck, the hatches were fastened down, and the steam from the vessel's boiler pour ed into every room. It is not to be suppos ed that the vermin long survived the three hundred degrees of heat which the steam thus thurst into every nook and cranny. But that was not all; there was a surgeon on board who had eyes to see, and seeing, put what he saw to some use. He discovered that immediately after the steaming of the ship that the crew, who, until that time, had been very sickly, began at once to mend, and were soon in good health. In other vessels close by yellow fever broke out, as it would probably have done in the Vixcu but for steaming the cockroaches; In . one of these, steaming was tried as a disinfectant, and with tbe greatest success tbe fever dis appearing at once and not showing itself again. ...
