ed that a continuance of the expenditure now applied to the war would soon suffice to purchase this expedient towards peace. This proposition is important, not for its intrinsic likelihood of acceptance, but simply because it is a proposition, and is the first bid made towards putting an end to the war. We may hope that others may follow, and that the North may gradually rie in its offers until something acceptable has been put forth. The only reply of the South to the Lincoln has been a resolution of the Confederate House of Representatives to burn all cotton and tobacco that may be in danger of falling into the hands of the invaders. Mean-while the snow has fallen on the district that separates the armies of the Potomac and Manassas, and General McClellan is again prevented from advancing. In every point of view this proposal of the Federal President gives great scope for speculation, and perhaps some glimpse of hope; but it is for what it may herald, and not for what it is.

f life-saving discoveries. Here is one which demands the gratitude of the soldier and his friends. It is a small, compact tourniquet, on clastic principles, which may be carried in the pocket in its small tin case, not much larger than a tobacco box, and yet is approved by our most eminent surgeons as fully adequate to all the applicances of such an instrument. In the course of war thousands die on the battle-field from mere loss of blood, which this instrument will instantly arrest. Dr. McClellan, father of the General, remarks in his Principles and Practice of Surgery, that "more lives are lost from it, (hemorrhege,) either directly or indirectly, than from all other circumstances combined." The field tourniquet, so called, is simply a handkerchief, or cord, and a stick. The process is to tie the handkerchief around the arm or leg above the wound, and twist it with the stick till the flow of blood is stopped in the main artery. This numbs the whole limb, as indeed do most tour

The development of events will be all-powerful to undeceive them. They are in the same halting, hesitating mood that possessed Virginia before she seceded from the late Union. They must see before they can believe, and will have to pay the penalty of their stupidity. If Seward, by fine speeches, succeed in extending the time agreed upon as proper to open the cotton ports, and the planter fail in the meantime to plant his usual crop, will not he have accomplished more by diplomacy than McClellan by the sword? Have we of the South not generally believed that without cotton England must break out in revolution? If, then, revolution overtake England and France, what need for fleets have those great Powers on our coast, or a camp of instruction on our continant? If Frenchmen rip open the bowels of Frenchmen, and Englishmen by their clamors drive a dismayed Cabinet from power will not Seward have accomplished a great feat of diplomacy? What, then, are we to think of Master Seward?
