Journal. Ills bus ot Ma. Badobb. The painful information ws reoeived on Monday last of the alarming illness of the Hon. Geo Badger The Sandard gives the fol lowing pat tiouUrs: We are grieved to state that the Hon. George E. Hadger. of t i-i t'tty, was on Sunday morning last pros tiateJ by a stroke of paralysis. He had been raking bis accustomed morning visit to the Dodd mineral -prtng, on tbe outfktrts of the City, and on bis return was itud dmly stricken to the ground. His situation was soon discovered; and he was ooov-yesi to his home in a car riage. Drs. Jobosoo, . Burke Hywood. and K B. tlaywoou were at i nee summoinsd, aud all that medioal skill coul i sug(cett was done tor him Oa Sunday night be was bled copiously, and he rested well alterwards.

The thing has not as jnucb value as the paper it was written on, except iu this view: that it adds another to the motives, already sufficient, impelling the South to fight to tbe is - man beter permitting the file incendiaries lo con qutr us. It ia another form of ravage and murder de signed tor tbe South; and if such thiugs are to bt done to us if couquered, far better have it done at thepolnt of the bayonet, bravely eontending for right and liberty. We do net publish the Proclamation, ot course, but notioe that it "enjoins' vpon tbe contrabands "to ab stain from violenoe, unless in necessary self-defenoe," and "recommends to tbea to labor faiitlu ly for rea sonble wagea." And says that "they will be received into' the armed service of the United States, to garrisou forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all aorta in the laid service." And be winds up wita the following impious invocation: f'Upon this act, runcereiy believed to be an aot of justice, warrant ed by the Constitution, upon military necessity, I ii voke tbe considerate judgment or mankind and the gra cious favor of Almighty God." "Warranted by the constitution"!"1 Is the man a fool? Lincoln exoepta from the operation of his proclama tion tbe only pUoea where itia in bit power to carry its vile purpose into effect, via: New Orleans and that part of Louisiana in yankee possession, and Norfolk and other parts of Virginia in like possession. The Proclamation is ridiouled by the N Yark Times The New lork World ssys "it is an empty fulmioa- tion." The Baltimore Osteite says that '-Linooln baa shot hit last arrow.." j . Ths Yaikei Akmt We published last week the of fioial siatement of the yankee army,: numbering in all l.CrSti.O.'O officers and men But the yankee papers figure this away to leu than 500 000 in actual service. They say that 1 GO, 000 ara sick, U0.C00 are strsgglers and deserterr, and that few will be disposed to pjaoa the dead and wounded atMess than 2 to 300,000, and many at considerably ( over these figures Say 300. 000, and these items sum up 680.000. and leave the number now in service only 466.000, out of the 1 ,096,000 who have been mustered from time to time. Another year, should the war lest so long, will use up this remnant of all the yankee grand armies. And (hey conte8 that they cannot raise another. CoKscxiPTs. The enrolling (facers hsviog been re quired to return the names and ages of all citizens between 18 and 60. including those who have furnished substitutes, has led to an apprehension that all Such were to be called bui as conscripts. The Winston Sen tinel siys, no doubt correctly, that this is a mistake; that the object of tbe Governor in the request is no doubt to ascertain what number of able bodied nun will be left in the country when tbe residue f tbe conscripts ball be called. .1 .

McDowell is bringing forth some curious fs"' Gen. MeClellan was examined as a witness, and among other things testified as follows: - ' "I have no doubt s id. for it baa ever been my opio ion. that the Army of the Potomac wou'd have taken Richmond had not the corps of Gen McDowell been Bepnrated from it. I' is also my opinion that had the orromand of Gen, McDowell joined fhe Army of the Po tnmiit in the month of May. by way of H mover Court House, from Fredericitst.urg. e would have had Rich mond within a week after the junction. I do nt ho'd Gen. McDowell responsible in my own mind for the fail ure to join me on either oeotsin "j Who it responsible is shown by vanou orders fib'd in the cae by McDowell himself. One order from Stan ton, Sec'y of War. 11th April, tells bim to consider the national capital as etcial!y under ynnr protection, and make no movement throwing your force out of a position for the discharge of this primary duty." Next, on the 24th April, be tells him that "the President de sires that you should not throw your force across the Rappahannock at present " On the I7th oi May hw directed to oo-operat with MeClellan in the advaBee upon Richmond, but to "hold yourself always in such a j position as to cover the oapital of the nation again t t ajJea sh by ay Vsrg ldy ef 4fee rebat foroers. " week afterwards, 24tn May, Lincoln himself telegraphs j to MoDoweirto "lay1 aside his movement on Richmond" j and to take 20.1)00 men and "capture the forces of Jack -ton"! I either in eonjuetion with Fremont or with his own 20 0O0 men. To this McDowell telegraphed back totbe Secretary on the same' dsy the foliewiog laoonie epistle: Tbe President's order has been received, is io pro cess of execution. Tnis is a crushing blow to as. Iawix McDowell. Major-General" Lincoln telegraphed back, same day: " "I am higUv gratited by your alacrity in obeying my order - Tbe chaoge was as painful to me as it ran possibly be to you or to any one. Everything now de pends upon the celerity and vigor Of your movement. j : A. LiSCOLS. And MoDowell again, same day- ! "To bis Excellency the Pr-sident: I obey your.order immediately, for ii was positive and urgent, and per- haps, as a subordinate, there! ought to stop; but I trnst I tuav be allowed to say sometniog in relation to tbe subj-ot, especially in view of. your remark that every thing now depends upon celerity aud vigor of movement. I beg to say that co-operation between Gn. r re- moot and myself to out off Jacksun or Ewell is not to be oounied upou, even if it is not a praotioal impossibility. Next, thai I am entirely beyond , helping distance ol Gen Banks, and no celerHjtor vigor will avail so far as he is concerned. Next, that ty a glance at the map will be seen thai tbe Hue ot re' real of the enemy's forces up be valley is shorter than mine la go giust hnu. It ill ik a week or ten days for my force in get to the vallet by this route, wtucn will give it good forage. and by tht time tbe e-emj will have retreated I shall gain uothing for you tberv, and sball lose much lor you here.'" I : f . This shows Upon whose shoulders both MeClellan and McDowell fix tbe responsibility. The Richmond vYnig bad recently a capita! article ou Jdincoln, as our friend," in which it was ahown how Lincoln, ia this and many other instances, when victory was apparently within thegracpoi the yankee Generals, tiad stept iu with some jackassical order aud derauged all taeir fUus aud turned the scale in our favor.

The authors do not generally lake the irouole to con dense, and ao run the risk of aot being printed at all, aa they would-be if they were brief. Among those which we see no hope of publishing, is a well written article, only too lung, irom a soldier ot the 21st Reg't, in camp iu Virginia, controverting recent expression of our opinion ihat tne soldiers ought to have a small whiskey ration;! especially as they get no coffee. The Wiiter says thai his 19 months' expert ence in: the army satisfies him that it is better t j d without any whiskey. That he drank it moderately for the first ten months of bis aervice, i but sinoe th time, serving under Jackson, ha has encountered all oris of hardships, with little food or covering and no iquor. and finds himself all tbe better for abstinenoe from the latter. He says, however, that above all things the Soldiers generally eovei'it, and give $1 for a drink of perhaps half a gilL He has heard of $6 being paid for a drink. By the quart it sells at $12 at his camp (Port Roy ail. Va. i He ssys that the only rations issued to the soldiers are, 1 lbs flour and 1L lbs beef, or gome times lb jf bacen in lieu ef beef ; and 8 lbs of salt to each 100 men, per day. He complains earnestly that tbey ara not supplied with Irish or sweet potatoes, beam or peas or other vegatables, and no sug-ir or molwsses, or wheat or rye for coffee. He specifies also a want of soap, and speaks with some bitternesa of the indiffer ence of officials whose duty it is to supply them Bu most of all does be denounce' vengeance against th peculators, extortioners, audi unfeeling office bold ers, for whom, he says, there is a day of retribution coming, when the. war is ended.) We have thus condensed an article for whioh could not find room, and whioh we had not the heart to throw aside altogether, if fir no other reason, for the following passage which occurs in a private note to the Editors, written on the eve of that day usually so abound ing eyith gladness, but to him saddened by absence and priva-ion, and doubtless equally so to his loved one at borne, j With what feeling must tbe soldier have writ ten this! ; ; -j .
