So Mtteriy hostile is the National Ad ministration and its leaders to the per , Becnted and' defamed Gen. McCi.ex.i-an , that-the rcmte hfs had Belected for his hpjwojdh to has been studi ously avoided by .them, in making their campaignngainst the rebel capital. The . reason of this is, that the Administra iooh‘ 4rbidd rather reach Richmond over ’ lanjd, .with a loss of a hundred thousand men, than to capture it by McCt kt.t.an’s plan without firing agun. Tho officlal reports of McCleixan’s seven fights on the Peninsula, 'ending with his victory at Malvern Hill, show , that he lost in all that time 1,6Ei9; ■ [killed y 7,709 wounded'; “Sftd. 'missing '6,958 making a total of 16,- 3d9.. Now mark what follows. By the most reliable accounts we have of the late fights tinder Gbant, we lost in the first sly days, 40,000 men. This is the New Yoik Tribune'i estimate, and it is corroborated by other statements. Ol thin immense number but few compara tively were taken prisoners. McClellan with, his small losses was half way to Richmond,as compared with Gen.' Grant upon the'close of the latter’s sixth day’s fighting. If this proves anything it demonstrates that the Peninsula route to Richmond is the safer one after all; bat the Administration will not select it. Tb do so would he a compliment to Mc- Clellan's sagacity, and the powers at Washington cannot afford it. 'There are some other points in the two campaigns which are sugges tive. The reader will remember that when McClellan was about to start uponhis Peninsula campaign, the Presi- dent withdrew from him McDowrl’s forces, forty thousand strong, which disarranged his whole plan of operations. Supposing when_LßE made his furious charges upon Meade, the first day of the present series of battles, Gen. Burn- side’s reserves had been ordered off in stead of being brought up to strengthen Meade hove would that day’s fighting have terminated? We mention these things merely to show the difference be tween the results of battles, when one General is aided all he can be by the Administration, and the other interfered with and banlked in his plans by a par tizan committee upon the conduct of the war. The President and his committee cab hot now better employ themselves than to . take these Aings into consider ation and ascertatnYf they ean how much better this plan for preaching" Richmond is,, than Gen. McClellan’s. During the seven days fight vto which we have alluded, McClellan had killed hnt 1,- 682. Lincoln’s plan beginning at Fred ericksburg under Burnside and closing with Hooker at Chancellorsyille cost thee country ten times that number. The present campaign although thus far gloriously successful, has been attended with a loss of perhapa 90,000 men, and yet we are not as near to our destina tion, Richmond, a 8 McClellan waß. This is the result of a most shameful envy by the Administration of’ the su perior sagacity, which, at the beginning of hostilities, selected t he Peninsula as the safest route to.the rebel Capital Gcu. Grant, however, having select- ed the ’route he has, is determined to pursue,it, If as he Informs the War De partment, it should take him “ all sum mer ’’ to accomplish: his object. This determination Is, perhaps, commendable. His idea is to trip, a| all hazards, regard less of life, If he succeeds in reaching Richmond and in-destroying the rebel army, it 'Will, amply; frepay the country for all our sacrifices; MILITARY REPUTATION. Some of the newspapers, we perceive, are engaged in the consideration ofthe mutability of military reputation. The experience of the past three years goes to demonstrate that the great poet was right when he said that, “reputation is ap, idle and a most false imposition; often got without merit and lost with out ' deserving." Sometimes we see genuitie' metit and the most unmistak able gallantry overslaughed, and mere spinsters in the art of war elevated to important positions in the service. The credit‘ of "gyeat achievements are often appropriated, by tricksters, while the deserving are left totally unnoticed. Looking hack to the commencement of hostilities and seeing the mutability of military reputation one is induced to inquire, what does it all amount to? The Boston Daily Advertiser alluding to this subject, Boliliquises in this way: There are, for instance, not many people to day is* Boston who care to recollect the part they bore in the spontaneous triumph which overwhelmed Qen. Basks on hie last visit here. On that yery day that very favorite of the peo ple was congratulated by a friend on the hold he had upon.the puhlic favor. ‘Yes, madam,’ •said he, with his grave smile,’ and the first mis take I m&kwthey will forget it all.’ His proph ecy proves true. This case of Oen. Bakes is but an il lustration of what occurs almost every day; it is doubtful whether Ms early suc cesses were the result of his own genius, and it ispow ‘charged present disfavor isthe result of his having obey ed orders Trdifi 1 “Whshington. The Ad ministration is the power, .which makes and unmakes miUtaiy reputation. It has control of every avenue of news, and When disaster occurs it can blame if where it pleases, and its victim suffers accordingly. Sir John Falbtaff,-seems to have had a ptifctlcai fdea regarding this ques tion 4>f" military reputation. After 8 careful consideration of the military sit uaUon.it he, how IT honor enM Can honor sot a leg? no; or take away the grief of a wound? no. What is hon or? a word. What is that word? air.” It is insensible to thedead; ami will not. survive with the "‘living, because, as Falstaef concludes, “detraiitlon vyßl not suffer it.” HhdnccOjfctogl'y made up his mind to a void datfger but to be always in at the kfliing. In this Way he kept up a reputation for valor, and monopolized achievements performed by better men. THE -DECADENCE OF FEMALE VIRTUE. For a long while the newspapers o the country have teemed with reports of immoralities existing in almost every sec tion. And yet the half of the evil has not been told. Every village, town, and city has its houses of iniquity, and in the public highways brazen-faced, bloat ed prostitution stalks abroad at noon day. The fact cannot longer be disguis ed and should no longer be concealed. Many thousands of fresh victims have been added to the lists with in the past few years, andms yet no serious attempt has been made to abate the evil. The cities, more especially, are swarming with hordes of lewd fe males, who flaunt their tawdry finery in the closest juxtaposition with the most unexceptionable respectability, and shock the sensibilities of the decent and good.J;by every art and act that wicked ness can invent. Around every military camp they congregate, luring the un. guarded youth and husband from virtue and fidelity to vice and ruin—robbing the friends and wives and children of those means which are needed to buy for them their daily bread, and blunting their sensibilities to everything refined- Even the headquarters of high military dignitaries are not free from them, and late revelations point them out in their lurking places withiD the very highest departments of the Government. And who is responsible for all this ? War, detestable war—always brings upon countries those horrible evils. Philosophers have written and ministers have preached in vain against the vices and evils which war entails, but refor mation never seems to penetrate further than mere theorizing and preaching. Philanthropists stare aghast and throw up their hands in virtuous helplessness, while society settles down apparently into the belief that what is common to all wars mast be a necessary evi!. But theTe are no necessary evils —they are a fallacy. Reforms are as susceptible of. accomplishment during the prev alence of war as in peace, if there is the proper effort made, in the proper manner and by the proper persons. Necessary evils admit the necessity of depravity, and who will contend that it is necessary for some portions of society to be depraved. Because they are so it doesTjot follow that they must be so. These evils can be remedied, and efforts to that end should be initiated by those who are so well constituted by natural gifts and the fortunate pos sessors of means and influence. No better work could be undertaken by the Christian Commission than this. Fitted by their sacred calling to com mand respect from the most hardened and reckless, and above suspicion from the most cynicai, none others could so well enter the haunts of wickedness and sin, carrying purification and men tal and moral health to the leprous pa tients of licentiousness. What a field there is before them—what honors await them at the hands of their divine mas ter for the perishing brands snatched from eternal fire! Will they enter the field and glean, or will they waste their time in seeking for empty applause and summing up numerical results? Are the young maidens, yet in their childhood, tender, impressible and confiding—to be left a ready prey to the despoiier, without a single effort at preservation or reclamation? Are sisters and daugh ters, whose affections are enlisted in blue and patriotism, to be made the unfortunate victims of joyful re unions and of the weaknesses in duced by compulsory separations? Are wives, patriotic and confiding— full of love and devotion to their hußbands —to be allowed to become the sport of fawning villains who take ad vantage of their necessities in the ab sence of their lawful and gallant protec tors? Yes, there is a large field all around us—in every part of the country —in which Christian men, and women, too, may labor to a noble purpose. Who will be first to enter this field? Where are the philanthropists who have melted the hearts of our people with their pa triotic stories of slavery’s wrongs upon the matrimonial tie and the domestic affections? Can they not rouse their el oquence to a single effort to reclaim their white sisters from a life of sin and shame? Society asks of them but a small portion of the pathos and rhetoric so lavishly squandered upon those of the sable hue. Will they do it? Will they earn for themselves imperishable earthly honors and a divine crown of glory? Let oil good people hope and pray that they will. __________ To the Editor of the Post. Mr. Editor :—Secretary Stanton is commended in Saturday’s Gazette for giving “ early and always reliable in telligence of Brant’s battles.” A preceding editorial informs its readers that “ the first_dispatoh received from Gen. Grant by the War Depart ment since the beginning of the cam paign was telegraphed to Secretary Stanton on Wednesday morning last.” (11th inst., Bth day of the campaign.) Is the Gazette's chronology at fault or does it seek to throw a doubt on Sec eta ry Stanton’s truthfulness by Ignor ing his dispatch of Monday flth inst'. in which he says : "Dispatches have jUBt reached here from Gen. Grant, they are not fully deciphered yet, but he is oh to Richmond.” Y.

From the Kichmbiul Whig, 7th. In some respects Richmond is in more danger McClellan, at the head’ of one hundred thousand men. Was encamped within five mileß of the corporation limits. Our readers are well' aware ofrthe weak points of our Theykhow the city is in peril, .'And they have repaired promptly to the field. The quiet determination of the citizens yesterday morning was worthy of all praise. Knowing that the hour ot suffering trial had come, they armed themselves and went calmly forth to de fend their wives and children from a barbarous foe. Every man felt that the occupation of the city, even for a single hour, involved consequences most ter rible, apart from the destruction of property. Numberless calamities to the pure and unprotected, who would be crouching in garrets and cellars, were to be dreaded. To avert these calamities, fathers, and brothers, and sons were wil ling to lay down their lives. The cause was holy; how could they be otherwise than confident with regard to the weak side of our defence V We may state, on good authority, that its weakness is less than the most nervous of our population suppose, and every hour makes it stronger. 'Some appre hension is felt in regard to the number of troops in and around the city. On that point it would be obviously impro per to state particulars. We may be very sure, however, that heavy reinforce ments are at hand. They may not ar rive in time to prevent the enemy from achieving a temporary success, such as the burning of a bridge and the capture of an outpost, but they can come soon enough to punish the enemy for his te merity. We expect for several days to come an unwonted degree of excitement and many startling and alarming rumors. The enemy will bring us not a little, and the busy-bodies will do their best to create a panic. Such vexations are in evitable in time of peril, and can be coun teracted only by anticipating them, and presenting a firm mind in spite, not only of rumors, but of unpleasant facts. Let us possess our souls in patience, no mat ter what happens. Panic only makes matters worse, and the beßt way to meet a danger is to face it. In an hour like this hardness of nerve should be cultiva ted, for the air will he thick with ugly and evil reports. Our duty Is plain, first to defend the city to the last gasp, as well from the lawless within as trom the invaders without; and next to en courage and sustain our defenders. The many wounded who will he sent here must not be left to the hospital attend ants alrme. The ladies of Richmond must again become angels of tire bedside, as they have always been in time id' battle. Housekeepers must give freely of their private stores oi delicacies for the sick, for these are now too rare to be puchased by the government. Contributions of clothing, of material for dressing wounds, and of money, should not be wanting. A body of citi zens to assist the wounded from the cars should he at once organized, ami one or more oflices for the reception of donations of cooked provisions, stimulants, 4 c., should be opened near the various depots. Nothing that can conduce to the comfort of the defenders of our country be left undone. It may be and we trust it is the last time Richmond will he called on to display the Christian virtue for which she is so distinguished throughout the Confederacy. Let this display eclipse all previous ones. There will be trouble about food, especially for the troops near the city. The commissariat should not be left wholly to th® authorities, who will be busy with a thousand press ing claims. The local troops had but one day’s rations in their haversacks, and that will he exhausted before regu lations are furnished. More attention should be given to this matter than was given on the occasion of the raids of Stoneman and Kilpatrick. Finally, the poor should not be neglect ed. Very little meat and very few veg etables will be brought to market unhl the battles are over. The price of pro - visions will rise and the sordid and the mean-hearted will begin to hoard. The families of soldiers and the poor gener ally will suffer unless special relief is afford, d them, above and beyond the charitie- which they generally receive. We shall not forget them in the midst of this hurly-burly. lait us conduct our selves in all respects as a brave, zencr ous, and Christian people, neglecting no duty, whether of danger or of kindness, which the perilous times impose on us. Our whole duty done, we may safely leave (he issue of this final struggle lor Richmond to a just and merciful Deity. White vs. Black.— White men have interests iD this country, hut the interests of white men lor the past ten years have been entirely ignored by miscegens in political discussion. The rights of ne groes only have been considered by them. Did the Tribune discuss the subtreasury syßtem, our foreign relations, internal improvements, the increase of the navy and army, the policy of buildings Pacific railroad, the disposition to be made ol our public lands, the homestead act, the tariff, and the different measures of the government directly affecting the inter ests of white men, from the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska hill until the elec tion of Mr. Lincoln ? Did not bleeding Kansas occupy its attention wholly ? Did not the then so-called republican, and now truly named miscegen press, echo its “freedom shrieking" "only that and nothing more ?” Gen. Sherman on Trash.—Gen. \Y. T. Sherman, iu a late letter, addressed to Majo r R. M. Sawyer, Assistant Gen eral, the following paragraph appears: "In this belief, whilst 1 iißsi-rt for our Government the highest military pre rogative, I am willing to bear in pa tience that political nonsense of slave right a, State right*, freedom of conscience, freedom of press, and such other trash as have deluded the Southern people into war, anarchy, bloodshed and the foulest crimes that have disgraced any time or any people.” Other army officials have talked in much the same style about freedom of conscience and of the press, and where are they now? The time may come when he, too, shall stare va cantly out of oblivion. The House has passed a hill by a vote of two to one, to stop the pay of army officers who may have been out of ser vice three months prior to* July Ist. This is mainly a political piece of ma lignity to prosecute Geus. McClellan •and Fremont. Economy never enters into the heads of members of the pres ent members. "A victory," says [an exchange, ‘(would have a good moral effect in Washington." Another exchange says, “if what we hear about the present uses of the Old Capitol building be true, it is to be hoped the victory will comc soon.” During the investigations hrto the Treasury scandals, the depositions of ton women employed 1 in the Department were read, and some of them pronounc ed wholly unfit for publication. A hundred thousand dollars’ worth of boots and shoes were destroy ed by roaches on the ship Guiding Star, from Boston. ra-DESTISTHTj-TEEI'H SX .traded without pain by the use of l)r. .Jp.qdry'e apparatus. ,wl J.

I used poultices of sorrel, and a wash of blue vitrol without effect. Finding the sore extending, 1 called on Dr. Ely, of Sheusburg, who pronounced' it CANCER, and prescribed a wash ofsugar of lead and bread poultices. Finding these reme dies of no avail, 1 called upon Dr. Shaflhr, of Davhlsvilie, Somerset county, who also pro nounced the disease Cancer, and gave me inter nal and external remedies-*-the latter consisting principally of caustic—but all to no purpose as the disease continued spreading toward the nose. 1 next used a preparation ot arsenic, in the form of salve. This for a time checked the disease, but the inflammation soon increased. 1 next called upon Dr. Statier, of St ClairsvUJe, Bed ford county, who also pronounced the disease Cancer, and applied a salve, said to be a never failing remedy, but it had no effect whatever In checking the spread of the sore. In December, in the same year, the disease had eaten away a greater part of my lip, and attacked the nose, when I went to Cincinnati, where J. consulted Prof. K. S. Newton, of the Electic Medical Col lege. He pronounced the disease “cutaneous Cancer, superinduced by an inordinate dose of mercury.” He applied mild zinc ointment and gave me internal remedies. My face healed up, but the inflammation was not thoroughly re moved. In February, 1867, he pronounced me cured and I left for home.- In April the disease again returned, and so violent was the pain that 1 could not rest at night. Late Lq May I return ed to Cincinnati, and again placed myself under the charge of Dr. Newton, with whom I remain ed until September, during which time he used every known remedy, ana partly succeeded in checking the disease, but when I returned home there were still three discharging ulcers upon my face. I continued using Newton’s prepara tions. and also medicine that 1 got from Dr. Ely, but tbe Cancer continued growing until it had e&t off the left side of my nose, the greater por tion of my left cheek, and had attacked my left eye. I had given up all hope of ever being oared since Dr. Ely said he could only give relief, but that a cure was impossible, in March, 1868, I bought a bottle of ‘•Blood-Searcher,” but I must that 1 had no faith in it. I waa very weak when I commenced using it, but 1 found that I gained strength day by day, and also that the ulcers commenced drying up. I coutinued, and when the third bottle was takpn my face was he&leu .is if by a miracle. 1 use a fourth bottle, and I have been healthier aince than I have been for the last seven years. Although my face is sadly disfigured, 1 am still grateful to a benign Pi evi dence who has spared my life, and which hAs been done through the instrumentality of “Lind sey’s Improved Blood-Searcher.” dayid McCreary.

Auothcr Case of Scrofula Cured by Lindsey's Blood-Searcher. If there be any who still doubt that Lindsey's Improved Blood-Searcher has and will perma nently cure tne most desperate and long-standing cases of Scrofula, let them read the following and be convinced : Dr. J. M. Llndsky : I was afflicted for a num ber of years with a disease, said by my physi cians to be Scrofula. For the last three years I was so bad that 1 was unabled to get out of my l>ed. 1 tried all the remedies and the best physi cians 1 was able to procure, without any bene ficial result. 1 continued growing worse until the flesh and skin were entirely eaten off the left side of my face, neck, shoulder and arm. My sufferings was so great, and I was so far reduced that it required the efforts of two persons to move me in bed. This was my condition when 1 was induced by the Messrs. Ralston, of Elderton to try your Improved Blood-Searcher, which, to my great relief, and the satisfaction of my friends, 1 soon discovered was helping me. 1 continued the use of it, and gained so rapidly th.it in considerably less than one year 1 was able to go about and attend to some of my house hold duties, and the parts affected were all healed up and covered with sound healthy flesh and skin, and have so continued ever since ; and i now enjoy a state of health that 1 had for years given up all hopes of ever again being blessed with. NANCY BLEAKNEY, Near Elderton, Armstrong county, Pa. August bth, 1866. New Evidence. Being afflicted with a grievous tetter on the arms and face —after trying many remedies which utterly failed to cure—l was persuaded by W. -M. Barrie r Co., to try “Lindsey’s Improved Blood-Searcher,” and now, «lt weeks after using the second bottle, pronounce myself cured. The tetter broke out something over one year ago, on the inaide of my aims, extending from the dhows down to the wrists ; also on my face, immediate ly around my mouth and chin, and continued to be a perfect torment to me until cured by the Blood-Searcher. My arms were at times almost useless, owing to the deep cracks and sores on them, liable to bleed at any time on the least ex ertion to lilt or work, and sometimes so itchy I eould scarcely prevent tearing off my flesh. I have now been cured six weeks, and 1 feel it due to Mr. Lindsey, and to the public generally, to make this statement, in hope that others like myself may be benefited by using this invaluable medicine. her JANE WILSON, mark.
