General McCIellan was summoned to

telegraphed to tho War Department that
a plan of operations laid been agreed Upon.
The Secretary replied, "Whatever plan has

Profkskop. Paiwoxb ox Slavery.
Prol'essor Parsons, or tho Catnbrigo L-iw
School, has published ti very interesting
pamphet on ' Slavery, its Origin, Influence
and Destiny." The subject is surveyed
from n point or view both or tho moralist
anil jurist. Wo give a single paragraph
as illustrating thu tenor of the work :
The preservation of our nationality will
1r. nneessarilv. at some time and in some
wnv. the death of slavery. For tho heart '
and essence of our nationnl existence is the
principle of freedom. Thin principle has
grown in development nnd strength beyond
thu principles or slavery, not by nny ncci
dent, but because it could not lie other
wise in a nation rounded as ours was,
and characterized and circnmslttnced as
ours lias been, and is. and must continue to
be 60 long as we uro a nation. Thu South
felt this. The Southern mind has become
essentially n slave mind. Many persons
tliero uro probably unable to form a con
ception of nationniity or civilization with
out slavery; ard some hnvo avowed this.
Their hatred of thu " accursed Yankee' is
only nn expression of lovo or slavery ; Ynn
keeistn being with them tin impersonation
or non-slavery. They saw plainly, or they
felt instinctively, that slavery would perish
if our nationality Fliould continue. The
death of slavery seems to them thoir own
doath. They arc fighting for life. They
aro fighting to destroy' our nationality,
hecauso if our nationality lives slavery
must die. In nil this they are not mistak
en. The onlv stranso thing is, that we do
not see this as plainly ns they do.
Ti'.vs or Rn.urrs. Tho army of tho U.
S. used, during the year 18G2, 1(5,000 tuns
of bullets. By an improvement in clou-
lino I no service, sacu a mniuiion in mu
weight is elected that it Is calculated that
a saving of six million dollars n year will
bo made In th? expense of metal and trans
portation. It will savo to tho army of the
Potomac alone 200 ammunition wagons.
A New Hampshire Captain says ho has
in his company forty-livo men, nine-tenths
of whom voted tho Democratic ticket,
when nt home. So intense is their opposi
tion to tho recent movements of boiuo of
tho leading Democrats, that tho privates
would about as soon shoot u ' peace" Dem
