As a military man, he doubtless perceives the utter impracticability of accomplishing the objects for which the Federal Union has expended so much blood and treasure. He is himself on record as expressing the opinion that the South cannot be readily subjugated. Three years have set the seal of experience to the correctness of that opinion. Army after army has vanished away in the attempts. General after General has shared his own ignoble fate. McDowell, McClellan, Pope, Burnside, Hooker, Rosecrans, Buell, and others, have followed him to a living grave. And still the military power of the South is not only unsubdued, but stronger and more defiant than ever.--Well may Gen. Scott be sorrowful and silent. Unhappy old man! He has outlived himself and his country, and is tottering onwards to a yawning tomb, where the most merciful epitaph that he can expect is--"Forgotten."

General Thomas F. Meagher has been ordered to report to Sherman for duty. General Martindale, of the Army of the Potomac, has resigned. The draft is ordered to commence in Ohio and other States, whose quota is not filled up, on the 19th instant. Several journals, formerly Republican, have declared in favor of McClellan. The Cincinnati Times and the Albany Statesman, both Republican papers, predict the defeat of Lincoln and urge his withdrawal. The Boston Post says it is a great relief to the Democracy to be rid of such an incubus as the Woods, and that if Vallandigham chooses to follow them he will have a rough road to travel.

Here at is: In the great Union procession at Spring field, fill last week, were ninety- three two-horse wagons loaded with wood. It was dumped in a pile for distribution to soldiers' families. General Joe Hooker, while riding up from the depot, met the procession, and was rather stunned by the ninety-three wood wagons. "Why, where can these farmers find a market for this immense quantity of fuel?" asked the hero.
