The west winds How, and singing low, I hear the glad streams run; The windows of my soul I throw Wide open to the sun. Iso longer forward nor behind I look in hope or fear; Hut, grateful, take the good I find The bsst of uow and here. I plough no more a desert land, To harvest weed and tare; The manna dropping from God's hand Rebukes my painful care. I break my pilgrim staff, I lay Aside the toiling oar; The angel sought so far away I welcome at my door. The airs of Spring may never play Among the ripening corn, ior freshness of thu flowers of May Mow through the Autumn morn; Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian look Through fringed lids to heaven, Aid the pale aster in tho brook Shall see its image given; "The woods shall wear their robes of praise The south wind softly sigh, And sweet, calm days iu golden haze Melt down the amber sky jSot less shall -manly deed and word llohukc an age of wrong; Thegraven flowers that wreathe thesword Make not tho blade less strong. ISnt smiling hands shall learn to heal, To build as to destroy; .'or less my heart for others feel That I the more enjoy. All as God wills, who wisely heeds To give or to withhold, And kuoweth more of all my needs Than all my prayers have told! Enough that blessings undeserved Have marked my erring track, That, whercso'er my feet have swerved, His chastening turned mc back, That more and more a Providence Of love is understood, Making the springs of time and seu.se Sweet with eternal good, That death seems but a covered way Which opens into light, Whereiu no blinded child can stray Leyond the Father's sight, That care and trial seem at lout, Through Memory's Buuset air, Like mouutaiu-ranges overpast, Iu purple distance fair, That all tho jarring notes of life Seem blending in a psalm, And all the angels of its strife Slow rounding into calm. And so the shadows fall apart, And so tho west winds play; And all tho windows of my heart I opes to the day! "I FIGIITS JUT SIGEL HY GRANT P.

McClki.lax's complaints oe lack OF Sl'l'I'LIES. Headquarters of the Army. Washington, ct. 28, 1802. j Hon. . M. Stanton, Scc'y of War: Sin In redy to the general interrogatories contained iu your letter of yesterday. I have the honor to report 1st. That requisitions for supplies to the army under Geu. McClellan are made by his staft' officers on the Chiefs of Bureaus here, that in, the Quartermaster applies by his Chief Quartermaster on the Quarter master General; for commissary supplie-by his Chief Commissary, on the Commissary General, &e. No such requisitions have to my knowledge been made upon the Secretary of War and none upon the General-iu-Chief. 2d On several occasions Geu. McClellan has telegraped me that his army was defi cient in certain supplies. All these telegrams were immediately referred to heads of Bureaus with orders to report. It was ascertained that in every instance the requisitions had W.n imniQdiately filled, except cue, where the Quartermaster General had been obliged to send from Philadelphia certain articles of clothing, tents, &e., not having a full supply here. There has notbeen, eo far as I could ascertain, any neglect or delay in any department or Bureau in issuing all the supplies asked for by Gen. McClellan, or by the officers of his staff. Delays have occasionally occurred in for warding supplies by railroad on account of the crowded condition of the railroad dc pots, or a want of a sufficient number of cars; but, whenever notified of this, agents have been seutout to remove the difficulty. Under tho excellent superintendence of Gen. Haupt, I think these delays have been less frequent and of shorter duration than is usual with freight trains. An army of tho size of that under Geu. McClellan will frequently bo for some days withou tho supplies asked for, on account of neglect in making timely requisitions, and unavoidable delays in forwarding them and in distributing them to tho different brigades and regiments. From all tho information I can obtain, I am of opinion that the requisitions from that army have been filled more promrtly, and that the men, as a general ruW, have been better srpplied than our armios operating in the West, The latter have operated at much greater distances from the sources of sup. ply, and havo had far less facilities of transportation. In fine, I believe that no armies in the world, while in campaign, have beon tnaro promptly or hotter sup plied than ours. - - 8J. Soon after the battle of Antietain Gen. McClellan was urged to givo mo in- formation of his intended movements, in or-dor that if he movod between the enemy and Washington th reinforcements could be svut from this place. , ' '. On tho bt of October, finding that he proposed to seperate from Harper's Ferry. I urged him to cross the river at once, and irivini; battle to the enemy, liointiiip- out to him the disadvantages of delaying till the rains had swollen the Potomac and impaired the roads. On the 5th of October he was pcromtori-ly ordered to cross the Potomac and give battle to Jim enemy or drive him out. I said to him, your army must move now while the roads are in good condition. It will be observed that three weeks have! elapsed since that order was given. 4th. In my opinion there has been no' such want of supplies in the army under Gen. McClellan as to prevent his compli- anee with my orders to advance upon the enemy; had he moved hisarmy to the south side of the Potomac, he could have receiv- ed his supplies almost as readily as by re- maiiiing inactive on the north side. 5th. On the 7th of October, iu a telegram in regard to Lis) intended movements Gen. McClellan stated that it would require at least three days to supply the First, Fifth and Sixths Corps; that they needed shoes and other indispensable articles of clothing, as well as shelter tents. No complaint was made that any requisitions had not been filled, and it was inferred from the language that he was only waiting for the distribution of his supplies. On the 11th. he telegraphed that a portion of his supplies; sent by rail, had been do - laved. As already stated, a -rents were im - nipilifltolv cn.,t fm, i,,... , : 4 to investigate I this eomnbnnt siil tW v,,,-,vtn,i filnt everything had gone forward. On the same date (the 1 1th) he spoke of many of his horses being broken down by fatigue. On the 12th lie complained that the rate of supply was only "150 horses per week for the entire army there and in front of Washington." I immediately directed the Quarter Master General to inquire into this matter and report why a larger supply was not furnished. Gen. Meigs reported on the Mth, that the average issue of horses to Gen. McClellau's army in the field and in front of Washington, for the previous six weeks, had been 1.459 per week; or 8,751 in all. In addition, that huge numbers of mules had been sup uli.wl ami ll.o ll,. ...... .,.. i' t r.l. was or "uuiuui u animals w un uu. .oLiellans army on the Lppor Potomac was over thirty-one thousand. He also reported that he was then sending to that army all the horses he could procure. On the 18th Gen McClellan stated iu regard to Gen Meigs' report that he had filled every requisition for shoes and clothing. '-General Meigs may have ordered these articles to be forwarded, but they have not reached our depots, and unless greater effort to insure prompt transmission is made by the Pepartmeiit of which Gen. Meigs is the head, they might as well remain in New York or Philadelphia., so far as this army is concerned." I immediately called Gen. Meigs' attention to this apparent neglect of his Department. On t!w 25th, he reported as the result of his investigation, that 48,000 pairs of boots and shoes had been received by the Quarter of Geu. McClellau's army at Harper's Ferry, Frederick and Hagerstowu; that 20,000 pairs were at I Tarper's Ferry depot on the 21st,th.a 1 0,000 more were on their way. and lu.OOo more ordered. Col. Ingals Aid-dc-Cauip and Chief Quartermaster to Gen. McClellan, telegraphed on the 25th: :Tho suffering for want of clothing 13 ex-aggeratcrated, I think, and certainly might have been avoided by timely requisitions of regimental aud brigade commanders." On the 24th, ho telegraphed to the Quartermaster General that the clothing was not detained in cara at the depots. "Such complaints are groundless. The fact is, the clothing arrives and is issued, but more is wanted. I havo ordered more thaa would seem necessary from any data furnished me, and I beg to remind you that you have always very promptly met all my requisitions so far us clothing is concerned. Our depot is not at fault-It provides as soon as due notice is given. I forsce no timo when an army of over one hundred thousand men will not cull for clothing and other articles.'' In regard to General McClellau's means of promptly communicating the wants of his army to me or to the proper Bureaus of tho War Department, I report that in addition to tho ordinary mails, he has been in hourly communication with Washington by telegraph. It is duo to Gen. Meigs that I should submit herewith a copy of n telegram received by him from Gon. McClellan. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, II. W. HALLECK', General-in-Chief. U. S. MILITARY TELEGRAPH (Keceited Oct. 22, 1902-9:40 P. M.) From McClellan 'b Headquarters. To Brigadier-General Meigs: Yonr dispatch of this date is received. I have never intended in any letter or dispatch to make any accusation against yourself, or your department for not furnishing or forwarding clothing as rapidly as it I was possible for you to do. I believe that everything has been done that ild be done in this respect. The idea that I have tried to convey was, that certain port inns of the command were willn.ut clothing, and the army could not move until it wa-; supplied. (Signed) G. P.. McC'IiKMjA V. M.G. How the French Economize. . There are few American families who know exactly the expenses of a year, they know probably it is that it cost- about manv hundred or thousand dollars on the whole. But every European family know the expenses of every year, of every niont), ' day or hour the exact cost of every din. tier, supper or breakfast. of every morsel they eat; of every drop they drink. Every German and I reneh housewife knows, not only how much the meat, potatoes and bread of any meal have cost, but also the water in which she has cooked thorn, and the coal nr wood she has burned to boil the w.'ter. It is infinitely amusing t an American t observe such a menage. In Paris, the city of hmiry. of the arts, the home of science and the seat of learning, in the city claiming to be the first in civilization, there is yet no ncqucduct or anything resembling one. The fountain of the city belong to the Government, and I the water is sold by barrels and pails full ' i0 "ater.carrierx, who supply families at so 1 "iucn a E1"011 I" Lo" of fi stories ther are two families on caoh floor, mak- nig ten who ascend the same staircase, up which all articles for family use must be carried. It is the rule that water, coal and all heavy articles must be taken up before noon, as about that time the concierge cleans the hall and stairs, and they must be kept clean for callers in the afternoon. In every kitchen is a receptacle for water, consulting of an oblong wooden box, containing two or more pailsfull, according to the means of the family or their ideas of cleanliness. In one corner of the bos, is a smalt partition of porous stone, which serves as a filter, and iu which is a separate faucet. The porteur brings two large pails full of water for three cents, and comes every morning. It is therefore very easy to know how much the water eostt in which thn dinner is boiled. In the same kitchen is a box for coal which contains the quantity for which they pay forty cents, and they know esactly how many meals can be conked with this quantity . If they have guests to dinner they use an extra quantity of water and coal, and know how many cents worth are devoted to each guest, and then of course they know if they can afford to invite any body again ! They know as exactly hnw much of every article is used everyday- The streets of Paris am lined with small groceries, where everything is purchased by the cent's worth, aud are certainly very convenient for people who earn only a few cents per day. If a family comes into the neighbor hood who does not patronize these small shop keepers, it is considered a great injustice, and wo havo known them to commence a regular persecution of such a family, annoying them in every possible way. They keep coffee, burnt and ground, sugar, powdered and lumps, tobacco iu quids, and every honschold article in iufinitessi-mal quantities. We have no idea that our customs and habits are peculiar or different from those of anybody else till we see them described by some one to whom they are not familiar, In France it is more universal, perhaps, than elsewhere, in families, hotels, restaurants, and all places where meals are served, to furnish any one with a sen-idle at table. If it is a plav. one is in the habit of frequenting, he is expected to fold his serviette, bud mark it in nome way to be retained for him until he returns again, as this save a washing and a sou. Hut if one is invited to dine once or only occasionally it is almost an insult to fold his serviette on leaving tho table, so this is the same as to say he expects to bo invited again soon. A gentleman who did not know this custom, dined and returned home without suspecting that he had failed in any point of etiquette. The next day a servant came to tell him that dinner was waiting 'Dinner," he exclaimed in surprise, "but I did not know that any one expected mo to diu-ner. I have received no invitation. "Why you folded your napkin yester day." This information only increased his amazement a3 he had no idea what the act had signified. In some partd of the country it would not have been a hint that he expected to como again the next day; but only that he hoped to come soon. I was saved from such auiortification by hearing a family exclaim one day after some guest had departed. "What'vulgar people; did you not see they folded thoir napkins." I had not remarked it, of course, asldid uot know that it was a matter of any con- coat of flejh? By the powers the poorcrca-sequeuce, and should certainly have, done ! turo can hardly carry that little there is on the sama myself the next day, whero it would have been almo.-t a disgrace had I net been thus put 111.011 mv guard.

I have the same cause for gratification in my own county of Licking, and also in Knox. The return from Coshocton I have not seen I am only dis-appointed in the magnitude of the majorities against ut. I remarked to several of my friends privately, two week. before the election, that without reference to the general result, I thought I would be beaten by a majority not far from one thousand. Personally I have no regrets for my defeat, and if the result shall tend to put down this wicked rebellion and hasten peace and a restoration of the Union, I shall most heartily rejoice. I cannot regard the election as indicative 0: a want of faith in our Government or in the Union. The peo ple were vexed and impatient at the mode of prosecuting the war, aud at the small re sults realized after a year and a half of painful struggle and sacrifice. In war, as in other matters, the people judge of measures and of men by results. Thus fur no man iu Ohio is satisfied with the manage ment or progress of the war. While many who have been earnestly and faithfully laboring to prosecute it vigorously, are disposed to speak hopefully and charitably, and are ready to offer excuses and reasons for delays and vaseillating polices, all with one accord say and feel that something is wrong. The great mi?s of the people had no other mode of expressing their dissatifica- tion but through the ballot-box. That having ever been the mode of correcting civil and political errors, they hoped to remedy the present devils in that way; or, at leastj to s;iy to those in authority that a change of policy and measures for putting down th rebellion was in their opinion desirable. How far their hopes may be realized, T cannot tell, nor can I see any immediate good results to come from it; but I hope and bclievethatall true friends of the Union will stand firm, and labor earnestly and faithfully to put down the accursed rebellion, and restore peace to our land. If it shall turn out, that by reason of the election a wiser and more successful policy-is adopted, I, for one, will hail it with delight, and unite my feeble efforts with those of any and all men, of whatever creed or party, to restore peace, and to establish and maintain the Union and the Constitution. I am just as much a lover of my race and my country to-day as I ever was and my faith is just as firm as ever that, when we shall have passed through this dark valley, wo will emerge into the glorious light of a free and hapj y people, with a government purified and elevated above the waves of party strife and personal ambition, whore no storms shall disturb or threaten our noble fabric-. In conclusion, allow me to express the hope that we shall all extend to the successful candidates that confidence and support which will sustain and strengliten them in their arduous Rud responsible duties; remembering that though elected as candidates of a political party, they are the chosen represen.tAtivei of the people, by majorities clearly indicating tho duty of every good citizen to render them a hearty and cordial support in every honest effort to maintain aud support tbe best interetts of the people.

Gnu. McClellan has been, a.' a move now while die r'e,ds are fiood' Such were his orders from the General-in- Chief. S'tfthe moved not. And far thru weeks thereafter ha moved not a man. On the 7th of October, the day after the order was issued.Gcn. McClellan telegraphs that he needed shoes, &c, and it would Like j three days for distributing supplier; but not a word about his supplier not being forwarded. On the 11th. four Jays lat'-r, he telegraphs that some of his supplies were delayed. If he needed on the 7th, "why didn't he say so before?" To invesiignte this complaint an agantwas seiitforward. who reports that all had gone forward. On the 11th, he alluded the fatigue of his horses, as an obstacle; and on the 12th, complains that only 150 per week were supplied for the entire army. On the Nth, Quar. ter Master General Meigs reports that the average issue of horses to McClellau's army fur the past six iceeks had been not 150 but, 1,459 per week, or 8,754 in all, besides large numbers of mules. Hu also reported that the animals then with Mc- Clellan's army was more thaa thirty-one thousand. This delay has disposed of eight days of valuable time. Nothing more is heard of Gen. McClellan till the 18th of October. Then he wants shoes, alledgiug that if Gen. Meigs had or-( dered them forward, they had uot reached the army depoU Gen. Mciga is questioned about it. He investigates; and on the 25th reports that 48,000 pairs have been re ceived at McClellau's army. That on the 21st of October there were 10,000 pairs at Harper's Ferry, 10,000 more .were on the way, and 15,000 more ordered. On the 24th Col. Itigals, Gen. McClellau's Chief Quarter Master.telegraphed that there had been no detention of clothing; bihI that "such complaiuants are groundless." This consumed ten dayi more. And thus were lost three weeks of most precious time after the peremptory order for his advance had been issued. It requires no military education at West Point to sc that such dilatorincss would be inexcusable under such circumstances. This exemplification of tho mode iu which he army of the Potomac has been handled makes fully manifest the cause of those unaccountable and inexcusable delays which have stung the heart of the nation with indignation, and saddened it with discouragement The ' Old Man of the Sea" was not a greater burden to the Sailor than such management has been to the Nation. Wellington's Strategy. 0: a certain occasion during Wellington's campaign on the Pyrcnnesfs, that '-Great Captain "being displeased with thelispoKi- tious General Picton had made for receiving the assault of Marshal Soult. who menaced him in front, ordered the plan to be entirely changed. But the difficulty wan to delay the att.-.c!; of the French until the ehaiV'C could bt efieel,-1. This the '-Iron Duke" accomplished in person, in the fob j lowing manner. Doffing his cocked hat and waving it in the air, he rode furioU.".ly to the head of a regiment, as if about to order a charge. Thereupon arose a tremendous cheer from the men, which was taken up by corps after eorrwyintil i: t :vorbcri!eJ among the whole extent of Picton'a line. As the rour died away, Wellington was heard to remark.musiugly, as, if addressing himself "Soult is i Kkiift-1 but cautious commander, and will not ittack in force until he has ascertained the meaning of those cheers. This will give time for the sixth division to come up and wc thall beat him." It turned out as he anticipated. Soult, naturally enough, supposed the.ie tremendous shouts announced the fcrrivil of large reinforecmenta, and did not attack until too late. Had he struck at the right moment he would have won an easy rio-tory; as il was, ho met with a Lloody re. pulo. This was atrategy.
