The Resignation of General McClellan.
We have to announce, on the authority
of the New York Tror/d,- which claims to
have had official knowledge of the fact,
that Major General GEORGE 8.. - illeCnEnnsai
has-resigned his commission as Senior Ma
jor General in the American army. "On
the Bth inst.," says tte World," the day of
- the' election, General McCoEnnali• ad
dressed a letter to the President resigning
his commission in the army, and request
ing that his resignation might be allowed
to date from that day. As he could not
then know whether he resigned to become
a private citizen, Cr retigned to become the
President.elect of the United States, the
time was appropriately and gracefully elm
son. As he is not accustomed to act from
any impulses, but acts always from delibe
.
rately, formed reasons, it is doubtless cor
rect to infer that it was his purpose, if not
elected, to retire wholly to private life.
We hope that his resignation will be ac
-cepted, for we have no belief that his de
termination can be changed. We do not
know that any one connected with the Ad
ministration will wish to change it."
So fas the military condition of the army
IS\ concerned, the resignation of General
MOCrairanut 'is a matter of no consequence.
The 'war has been conducted for two you's
without his assistance or advice, and we
can probably end it without : asking him for
either. So far as the political condition of
the country is concerned, the people, by
an overwhelming majority, decided on last'
Tue.sday that they did not desire his ser
vices. In a political and military sense,
therefore, this event is a matter of no ma
ment The only persons who can at all
be affected by it are Major General Mc
' CLELLAN himself, who loses a very nice
place and a very good salary, and the
junior major generals, who will probably
not regretthis opportunity of promotion.
By his own act, therefore, Gen. Mc-
CLELLAN retires into private life. It is
• fitting that we should say something in
reference to a man who has occupied, so
prominent a position in the world's history
for the past four years. He was once the
beloved and trusted general of our armies,
and has just received the votes of many
thousands of Our fellow-citizens for the
Presidency. His career may be called a
romance of the war. He was a young man
who had formerly served in the army,
leaving behind him the reputation of an
amiable, accomplished gentleman, marl, an
officer of courage and capacity. He had
retired from military life, and was holding
a position on a Western railroad. Recent
ly married, of sober and industrious habits,
and with .many good friends aro and
him, GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN promised to
become a thrifty and popular citizen of
Illinois. The war came. It was necessary
to raise a large army. In those days •we
were all so ignorant that anybody might
have become a major general, and this
young man found, himself at the head of
the American army—found himself by very
much the same fortune as that of the blind
folded lottery-keeper who thrusts his hand
into the wheel and draws out a prize. It
was an
• opportunity which has fallen to the
lot of few men, and it is not surprising that
this thrifty and industrious man should
have failed where many other men, with
out any of his virtues, perhaps, but far
greater genius, bad failed before him.
.:History has shown us that, while Almighty
God sends into every gene,ration thousands
of good - citizens like GEORGE' B. MCCLEL
LAN, it is but'once in -an age that He gives
us a soldier and a statesman—a CROMWELL,
a FREDERICK, or a NAPOLEON.
GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN did as well, per
haps, as any of our sober and industrious
citizensin the railwav i businesp wo r ld kw
position. He did the best he could. For
tune does not make great men. It merely
gives them opportunity. MCCLELLAN fail
ed in his opportunity, because he was not
a great man. If this natural conviction
led him to retire from military service, it
Was a graceful and proper act, showing
candor and modesty, and we should have
followed bim into retirement with our
warmest wishes for success and the hope
that he might again have an opportunity
in the railway profession of returning to
that position of, popularity,iodependence,
and comfort which he abandoned in Illi
nois. 1W , ,,e are not disposed to be unkind to
°Bolton B. MoCnEnnaN, because fortune
buckled on his back a load he could not
carry.. We do him all the justice he de
serves, and all that his truest friends could
wig,. His organ, The World, however
which claims to speak for him, and in this
ease makes the official announcement of
Ids resignation, does not-;permit us to say
farewell with all these good wishes, but
elaborately gives us General MoCnnaa,Pas . 's
reasons for his resignation in these words :
"A sufficient number of the people of the United
States have sanctioned, by their votes, the policy of
the Lincoln Administration, to make it clear that
such a man as General McClellan can no longer serve
- in a military capacity in the further prosecution of
that policy. Even if officers of an inferior grade,
once in the army during a civil war, can reasonably
be expected to ignore the policy of their Govern
ment, and toleave all such questions to the civil
department, it would be quite absurd to require
such a course of a general who has filled such
relations to this war, and to the objects
and methods of its prosecution, as those in which
General McClellanhas stood. It is obviously impos.
sible for him to fight in a war of extermination, of ra
pine and devastation, of disregard of constitutional
restraints, and of violation of constitutional rights.
He is efot a soldier of fortune, but a soldier of princi
ple. Whin he offered his sword to the Government of
his country, he had a right to presume, and did :Presume,
that the war would be prosecuted for the simple purpose
of the restoration of the Union.. When this ceased to
be the course pursued by the Administration he
could not voluntarily quit the service while there was
a hope that the people would intervene and com
mand a return to a constitutional and humane and
therefore effective policy. The people having now
endorsed Mr. Lincoln's Administration, there can
be no • longer any claim upon General McClellan
to continue standing ready to serve an Administra
tion which has kept him in forced retirement for a
period of nearly two years, which dismissed him
from active service with every mark of Indignity
after he had saved the capital of the nation from
an invading foe, and which has never since that
day proposed to give him a command without cet
-piing the proposal with the dishonorable condition that
he should desert the ,politteat principles which. he has
always professed, and on which he has eavra,ys acted.
" But if there are anywho are disposed to say that
Gen. McClellan should serve the country without
Identifying the country with the Administration,
they will doubtless be able to see, and to admit, that
his patriotism is of that quality which has always
led him to separate the country from the Adminis.
tration, in considering what his obligations to
the country ,embraced. They must also see that
he alone can form a safe judgment as to his
power to serve the country under, or through,
Mr. Lincoln's government. If he is satisfied
that he can. no longer be useful .'to the cowl,
try, now that the people have failed to
command a change In its public councils, the
only reasonable inquiry is, whether he served
the country faithfully and truly SO long as
he bad the power, or the chance of a, power, to serve
it at all. On this point there can be no complaint ;
Tor no ono who considers that he ever possessed any
faculty for military service will deny that he strug
gled long and mithfully to use all that Tawny for
the public good, and those who deny hitia any faculty
for military command .will certainly not object, to
his retirement. Our own opinion is that he could
not again undertake to, serve without being fol
lowed into the field by the same impediments to his
success as those which have heretofore been placed
in his' way, and that he and the. country would,
under existing circumstances, be alike powerless to
restrain those who will never consent to his farther
usefulness or distinction. -
rl it is with deep sorrow that we record these con
victions ; but they are indelibly impressed upon us.
We must reap what has been sown. General Mc-
Clellan will be followed into his retirement With the
gratitude, the admiration, and the affection of mil
lions of his countrymen; and when they have ac
quired the means of enabling him to be of service
to the country, and he is Convinced that he can do
'them any good, it cannot be doubted that his patri-
Otiam will be found a living virtue, as it has ever
been."
Our desire to be frank with General
111cCLELLAN pint excuse the length of this
extract. He speaks for himself, and our
readers will see what reasons govern the
young man in his retirement from public
life. It is not because he desires to return
to his profession in Illinois that he thus
leaves the army. He quarrels with the
policy of the Government. He can "no
longer serve in a military capacity in the
further prosecution of that policy." Now,
this argument i's one that General MCCLEL
LAN or any officer has a right to use ; but
at this time we •cannot accept it from him
Without regarding it as an evidence of in
sincerity and disingenuousness- that we
should be very sorry to detect in his cha
racter.
What is the policy ofMr Imioorm ? and
when did General MoCr.x.m.ax arrive (tt
the conviction that he could not serve
under an Administration that proclaimed.
it? "It is obviously:impossible for hint to
fight in a war of extermination, of rapine
and devastation, of disregard of constitu
tional restraints, and of violation of con
stitutional rights." The policy thus meant
is that of emancipation, the suspension of
habeas corpus, the detention of enemies of
the Government, thc defeat of the Southern
armies, and the destruction of Southern.
military resources. Let us .examine Mc-
CLELLAN'S record briefly, on these points :
I. Emancipation. In the letter of Mc-
CLELLAIT written from Harrison's Landing
he suggested to Mr. LINCOLN the propriety
of freeing the negroes as a matter of mili
tary necessity. In the prosecution of his
movements he always received contrabands
into his lines, and never returned them to
their masters. Here was practical.emanci
pation in advance of Mr. LuTcorar.
Nay, more; after the issue of the procla
mation, General McCLELLAN, in an order
to the Army of the Potomac, declared that
the duty of the soldier was to obey and
execute the provisions of that preclama
tion. These were his opinions in Septem
ber, 1802, when he fought the battle of
Antietam.
11. The suspension of the habeas corpus
and " arbitrary arrests" were commanded
by MCCLELLAN in Maryland. He arrested
the Maryland Legislature. He sent Gen.
STONE cruelly to Fort Lafayette, and do-
nied him a trial. He arrested Colonel
Alcetnor, aid sent him to New York, for
using unpleasant language at . Willard's
Hotel, in Washington.
111. He at, least claims to have done all
hi his power to defeat the Southern armies,
and his campaign in Virginia devastated
the Peninsula. His friends never ceased to
make this a high merit. Until the eighth
of last November they publicly eulogized
him as one who had endeavored to defer.
Southern armies and destroy the,ir re
sources. Hig last public speech contained
a compliment to SHERMAN and SHERIDAN,
the general who burned Atlanta as well as
the general who ",devastated" the Valley
of the Shenandoah. Until November Bth
these were certainly the opinions of General
Media/LIAR.
The record of MeCttntor thus shows
that these pretexts for his resignaton are
deceitful. They are as true as the asser
tion of The IVorld, that he was offered a
command on the condition that he would
abandon his "principles," an assertion
that Mr. F. P. BLAIR has denied iii. the
name of Mr. kraconw. General ArCOLEL
LAN'S friends • will not permit us to at
tribute his retirement to candor and me,
desty, and it therefore only remains for
us to view this act as the - spleen of a-petu
lant and disappointed politician When
a candidate for election, he did not hesitate
to write a letter endorsing the war. :716 did
not resign in the canvass, because it would
have been an avowal that he did not
believe in the war, and thus have lost him
votes. Is this not paltering in a double
sense ? Does it not seem like a trick? Do
we not breathe free at the escape we have
made from a man who openly allowed him
'self to be quoted in favor of the war while
all the time he meditated a retirement from
the army because he did not believe in its
vigorous prosecution ? Gen. MCCLELLAN
was really the representative of the cow
ardly Convention at Chicago—of VALLAN
DIGIIAM, WOOD, and SEvAroun-but not
until the hour of his disappointment and
chagrin did he show that he was really the
Copperhead candidate of a Copperhead
Convention. We thank Almighty God
with fervent hearts that he and all his
tribe have been Condemned by an. over
.
e inteCritnThrah - osen his
path. Let him take it. We do not need
such a man in- our armies. He had a great
opportunity, but, with a perverse fatality
that seems to cling to his life, he has aban
doned it. Be might have taken the band
of peace and friendship offered by the Pre
sident, and said ten words . in favor of the
Union that would havo . endeared him to
the nation. He might have been a patriot,
and shown the world that the writer - of the
September letter was not ashamed of its
sentiments. He might have rallied his
party around .the flag of his country and
shown that its triumphs were still dear to
him. He has preferred to exhibit the tern=
per of a Tammanyllall politician, the petu- •
lance of an angry boy, and the spirit of a
man who would not hesitate to stoop
when he might hope to conquer, and at the
seine time would nat be ashamed to shOw
his own disingenuousness in the hour of
his chagrin. We can end the war without
MCCLELLAN.
The Good Things we Have and are to
Have.
Now that we have re-elected ABRAIIAIt
Lrxcorai we have an opportunity of breath
ing. In the first place, we feel that we have
apologies to make to everybody but the
Copperheads. This election business is
very like the performances of that much
embarrassed Sisyphus whose labors in the
stone-rolling business have called forth the
sympathies of everybody that reads the
classics and classical dictionaries.. We are
well rid of it, and gladly come back to do
mestic topics: Those who have grievances
to detail, and who find the puliic ear cold
and dull, will meet earnest and respectful
attention. We shall have no more com
plaints from housewives who scold about
the price of butter, or good people who
lament the falling off in temperance socie-
ties, that will not be heard respectfully.
Then we can pay attention to the oil fever
and the German opera, for just now every
body is buying oil-stocks and listening to
Foumas and HERMANNS. Mr. GROVER has
'struck a well that sends him no .one
knows how many barrels a day.
Be has brought to the Academy the•
most magnificent audiences ever seen
in that buildifig, always excepting the
audiences that cheered DOUGHERTY and
HENRY W. .HERCHER. This German
opera has been to other operas what the
oil business has been to coal and iron. The
former imprcssarioe had nothing but care,
and worriment, and slim houses. They had
BRIONOLT, whom they petted, but who has
been hiised in Madrid, and Parr; whom
they did not pet, but who has been wel
comed in every theatre in Europe. The
tru is, Bnioltom was an absurd fashion,
like crinoline, and lasted about as long.
Mr. GROVER has escaped the sweet singer,
and has given us men and . women who
know how to sing music and never take
cold. With BRIGNOLI we were more certain
of the influenza, and an apology before the
curtain than of " Don Giovanni" or " Tra
viata. '•' Mr. GROVER has succeeded in keep
ing his people well, and since he came to
Philadelphia has never missed an opera.
Then he has given us a good chorus, which
makes it unnecessary for Mr. AltscanTz or
Mr. BrRGFELD to frighten us with their
&Urns. As' a consequence Mr. GROVER is
getting rich, and all the people about him
look as happy as some Of the greasy gen
tlemen from Venango county who sit in the
boxes and applaud in the wrong places.
How long will . German opera last ? Is it
really an oil well, and are we to have it
pumped dry in two or three years ? Or is
it to be a sickly thing, like Italian opera,
which must be nursed through the winter
and kept warmly clad in the summer
months ? We do not think al. German
opera is far froni being perfect music ; but,
until we create a musical school of our
own—a school that shall surpass the Ger
man in meaning and the Italian in sweet
ness—it will do,as well as any other, and is
certainly the best we have. We think the
germ -of future American music is to be
found in the quaint, and ridiculous melodies
Of the minstrels who sing negro songs. It
might be said that between German opera
and cabbages there is a great analogy ; but
this might be construed , into a reflection
upon some of the troupe, who are all hand
some men and beautiful women, and not so
much like cabbages as some of our' friends
who look too curiously through opera glass.
es would think. The cabbage is a long
lived vegetable ; it is hardy ; it has many
domestic uses. Cnly'the German can tell
us of the forms and "varieties to which the
cabbage can be applied. So it will be with
the German opera. If Mr. GROVER • ever
gets tired of " Der Freischutz " and
"Faust," he will find that -he can make a
good circus combination, or a side-show, or
a gymnastic exhibition, by, merely chang
ing the names of his members and putting
them to such uses. HARELMANN would
be sublime on a tight-rope, and FORMES
looks as if he could carry Dr. WINS=
and his heaviest load without panting.
This is the utility of German opera, and
for this reason we give Mr. GROVER the
cabbage as the crest for his new heraldry.
We cannot have the opera with us all the
time, and FORREST is coming. Let Mr.
DifoonEwry look to his laurels. He had
an immense audience o but we can only re
alize the capacity of men and bricks when
we look upon an, audience "of FORREST'S.
We welcome the greatest living tragedian
to his 'home with a feeling of affectionate
eSteem--and with the German opera and
its true, honest, painstaking music, the
Italian opera that is to come with Mho:
MARETZRA and the new tenor, whose name
we are afraid to pronounce, Mrs. Bow Ens,
Mr. CLARKE, and what is called the grand
circus combinatipn, we shall have a time
of it this -winter. Art, and taste, and
beauty, all flock to the metropolis to see
the city that gave Mr. I...mcoLK ten thou
sand majority—visit the Mint, Indepen
dence Hall, and Tan Pituss office--and see
the German (Vera and FORREST. The
world, is France, and France is Paris—to
use an aphorism of some of the snobs of
the Boulevards. Can we not say that
Philadelphia is American ? Certainly ; for
'now that we have all those things,
,what
else can the world show ?
The Rebellion and Slavery.
Slavery caused the present rebellion. It
established a privileged class, controlling
by its wealth and power, and by a common
interest, 'the press, the bar, the medical
profession, and the pulpit. lt jealously
guarded all the avenues to private and
public distinction, which were opened
only to . those who supported and extended
the system which separated, the slave
States from the free States, and gave to a
small but compact minority the power to
dictate the foreign and domestid Policy of
a great nation: Its internal policy was to
degrade labor and to prevent education
among the non-slaveholding community,
thus placing them under the despotic con
trol of an aristocracy based upon the own
ership of their fellow-men, many of them
as white as their white fathers. This sys
tem of bondage should never be permitted
to exist in a Christian country, for it is
only fitted for unbelieving heathens. It
strikes at the fundamental principle of
-Christianity, by prohibiting marriage, es
tablishing concubinage, and taking the
seventh commandment from the Deca
logue. All its details are equally de_
structive of . morality and religion, both in
the master and the . slave; and no Chris
tian nation that carries slavery in its
bosom can hold up its head among the
nations of the earth without a blush of
shaine upon its cheek for this foul sin.
The necessities of war have opened our
eyes to the manifold evils of slavery and
have decreed its extinction as a war mea
sure, and the rebel Governors are arriving
at the same conclusion, when they propose
to arm their slaves and to give them free
dom as their wages. It becomes us, therd
fore, not only as a matter of justice, but of
sound policy, to meet our Southern rebels
by an immediate amendment of the Con
stitution abolishing slavery. It can be done
this winter if the Opposition,' submitting as
good citizens to the declared will
of. the
_ggpj' will
on — so s to - submit it
before the spring opens to the Legislatures
of the several States, which are all prepared
for immediate action upon such an amend
ment. It is the interest of all to terminate
this war as quickly as possible, and any
measure to weaken the rebellion should be
urged at once. The rebel proposition is to
free contingently those slaves whom they
arm ; our proposition is to free all by one
sweeping measure which will secure to the
whole slave population perpetual freedom.
Like Aaron's rod, it will swallow up the
rebel rods. Our proposition, therefore, is
the amendment as it passed the Senate :
"ARTICLE 13, SECTION I.—Neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for
crime, 'whereof the party shall have been duly con
victed, shall exist within the United States, or any
place subject to their jurisdiction.
"SEC. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this
article by appropriate legislation."
New York.
The Union victory in New York is al
most as gratifying In itself as the net result
of the Presidential election. Ipprie
SETHOUR was, if not the most able, at least
the most plausible, and perhaps the most
popular, of all the bold or covert enemies
of the Government. Baseless, shifting,
and shallow, this quicksilver statesman,
with a sort of policy no,policy, leading to
quicksand and ruin, was the one above all
others to whom the recent election
should _read a lesson. We do not
;here desire to question a certain mea
surable sincerity on the part of Mr;
SEYMOUR and his advocates. The ex-
Governor had too much dignity and pa..
triotism, we may trust, ever to desire to
betray his country ; but he had never •
enough earnestness or self-forgetfulness to
give to the cause of the Republic his whole
and hearty support. The public aspect of
his career was " fair and false," and this
has sometimes been the judgment of his
own friends. We, therefore, regard his
defeat as a public good fortune, multiplied
by the triumph of so sincere a friend of the
Government, and so able and industrious a
public man, as •the Governor-elect of New
York, Hon; REUBEN E. FENTON.
.The last official acts of the retiring Go
vernor of New York were characterized by
a spirit of personal hostility, which, either
in anticipation of success or failure, were
unworthy of his position. They predicted
his defeat. Against the manifest frauds in
the -array he did little or nothing ; against
the Government and General Dix lie ven
tured to issue foolish proclamations. But
for the base taste of Governor SEYMOUR
there is a redeeming feature in the conduct
of his most prominent supporters. They
do not take his defeat much to.heart.
The Florida.
The English newspapers ought to be
- very happy—they have got a grievance
which will occupy them, with a little man
agement, until the time shall arrive, at the
end of the year, when the_ policy of the
Palmerston Cabinet, during the next ses
sion of Parliament, may fairly be specu
lated upon and freely discussed. They are
greatly exercised, just now, on the seizure
of the Florida in Brazilian waters, the
Times asserting that it is an joact piracy,
and the Morning Herald insisting that all
the maritime Powers should unite and in
terfere in the matter. It may be fairly ex
pected that the English press will make a
great deal of this subject, which has started
up so soon after their discussion of the case of
FRANZ MuLLER, the convicted railway mur
derer. It comes in just at the moment when
politics are in a state of abeyance in London.
We may rely upon it that writers who pro
bably have not read a dozen pages about

is found the ship shall be legally liable to

The Northwestern Freedmen's Aid Commission
propose to institute a great Fair, to be opened at
Chicago on the 24th of December, for the benefit of
a class whom other associations of patriallim and
philanthropy do not reach. The Fair will be called
the. ,, Northwestern Epicurean Fair," the princi
pal contributions solicited being articles of con
sumption, from the coarsest productions of the soil
to the daintiest dishes.' Premiums will be awarded
to contributors of the best articles, and there
will be a large advertising medium in connection
With the Fair. A. dining hill and a. horticultural
department will be among the features ; and con
tributions of every kind will be received. There is
great reason to give aid to such a charitable en
terprise, whose good work will benefit thousands of

blood for the country. The Freedmen's Fair, like
the Sanitary Fair, receives its greatest encc)irege

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.
The District Coprt tc-day decided a case of con
siderable interest. A stilt was brought to recover
the amount of three promissory notes of a. thou
sand dollars each, made by ex-Congressman
Tritomas F. Bowie, of Maryland, in 1867; payable
to the order of one' F.a'aiat sTEEßs,""trom whpm
-oAintiff werien.lsn thou"
that these notes were giverffor a gaming considera
tion, and were therefore void in - the hands of oven a
bona fide holder for value. Chief Justice CARTER.
delivered the opinion of the Court, in which he
said the proofs were that Bo witc,.being intoxicated,
was irrational. In the case of insanity it would be
perfectly competent to prove the idiosyncrasies ofthe
insane person when he was hi that condition. Why
not when reduced to the condition of temporary ine
briety? These notes were condemned by the law,
and had no virtue in the hands of the gamblers;
therefore, the Court decided in favor of the de
fendant. •

The enemy's batteries fired briskly for a short time,

an opportunity to do so. In an inatant he fell

EEG=
WASHINGTON ; Nov. 11—Richmond papers of
Thursday last have been received here, and.contain
the following items of news :
The rebels acknowledge the election of Mr. Lin
coln, and the Divalei says that tho Yankees, irire
electing him, have imposed upon themselves a tyran
ny for which alone they are . fitted by nature.
The Examiner, on the result of the election, says :
“Inetead of blowing up the Confederacy at one
shot, they will find themselves In for another long
series of wasting campaigns, with all their weary ,
delving in mud, crowding of pale wretches into hos
pitals, piling up heaps of slaughtered men with
several hundred thousand more corpses, adding to
their debt by several thousand millions of dolls*
never, never to be paid in the world. ll
Rebel editors are greatly excited over Jeff Davis'
recommendation to Congress that upon him should
be conferred power to exempt those editors whom•
he .may think proper from military duty. Phials
looked upon by the Richmond press as aylle at
tempt to crush the liberty of the press.
The military news from all sections of the Soittk
Is unimportant. Nothing definite is known of
Hood's movements, except that he crossed tho Tan- -
nessee in three columns, and was marching for Tul
lahoma station, on the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad.
Affairs around Richmond and Petersburg remain
unchanged, but the rebels are unanimousthat Grant
will yet deliver a great battle before winter comes,
and that he will be assisted in the movement by the
James-river fleet, whicirwill pass through the Dutch
Gap Canal.

The. Richmond Enquirer announces the recom

Governor brown, of Georgia, in his message, ad
vocates the right of each State to negotiate a peace
for itself.
The Wkly criticises Davis' proposition to employ
slaves in the army and navy, and wants him and
the rebel authorities to mind their own business,
which is to enforce and execute the military laws
they now have. It says his arguments are the &rim
mentS of Seward and Sumner, and, if true, slavery
is wrong, and the sum of all barbarism.

The latest advices from Hood represent him

' DADE-TDB ELECTION-ONNISDALB SREDIDAN
- AND CROON AT TEE rOGLEI.
A correspondent of the Iferaal a wrlting from near
Cedar Creek, Nov. 8, says :
The past day or two deserten from the rebeis re
port the enemy in force near Staunton, and that it
was his intention to move upon our lines at once.
This may seem a very presumptuous saying on the
part of an enemy who has been represented as tho
roughly demoralized and routed. It is a misfortune
that some of the officers of our army give credit to
the disorganization of the Valley-rebel army. They
are not disorganized. Gen. Sheridan knows this
fact, and his subordinate generals reflect his opi
a ion. In view of this no vigilance is relaxed, no
derilection in duty, no neglects on the picket line
allowed. This army is in better fighting condition
to-day in regard to numbers, discipline, and equip
meat than at any time since the main part of it
entered the Valley of the Shenandoah.
Yesterday a grand review and parade of the 19th
Army Corps, Major General Emory, took place. A
day or two. before the affair the men of this gallant
corps were getting their arms and equipments in or.
der. Early yesterday morning the sound of martial
and Instrumental music Indicated that no common
event was about to takeplace. At 8 o'clock the va
rious regiments, divisions, and brigades of the corps
formed on their parade grounds in the fear of the
'fortifloations. This done,t,Le troops were marched
by seiparato commands to the review ground, a
large rolling field east of the Winchester and
Strasburg pike. The marching of the troops was a
striking sight, as they wore men not of the street
parade character, but men who had been battle
tried at Port Hudson, the . Teche country, at the
Opequan and Cedar reek: The troops, after they
reached the parade ground, were formed in coltuna
of regimental divisions, with distinctive intervals
between the different brigades and divisions— Ma
jor General Emory gave personalsupervision of the
formation of the corps.. The weather was cloudy,
raining at Intervale, but not to any extent to retard
the movements of the affair. At half-past ten,
the column being ready for review, Major General
Sheridan, accompanied by his full staff, came upon
the field, and riding to the head of the column, salu
ted the corps commander, and with that officer
proceeded at a brisk trot down the left
flank of the column of troops, and up on
the opposite side, and then reviewed each
division successively. AB General Sheridan reached
the column, and on his way on the review, he was
Vociferously cheered by the troops, the bands at the
same time playing the tune of " Hail to the Chief,"
&c. Major Generals Wright, Torbert Seymour,
-tl•car—cutti.-naishatl—mll,tha-nriMaip,
_th._
other corps 01this army, were present on the field.
The 19th Corps presented a very fine, soldierly am
pearance on this occasion. Their weather-beaten
countenanced and battle-torn banners made the
event a very impressive scene. The divisions la the
corps are under the command 01 Generals Biro,
McMillan and Dwight—all of them officers of tried
ability and skill. The'veteran commander of the
corps, Major General Emory, is also an officer who
has often been tried in the field.
The Richmond Examiner, of the 81st ultimo, has
an article pretending to give a truthful account of
a small battle that took place lately in the Luray
valley, near Milford Station, between their force,
under General Lomax, and ono under a 'Union com
mander, in which it Is claimed that the rebels cap
tured three pieces of artillery—accepting it as an
augury of the commencement of the recovery of the
artillery their army lost at Uedar Creek on the 19th
nit. Considering the fact that during this cam
paign our army captured one hundred and twenty
seven pieces, they will possibly find their task not an
easy one. The battle to which the rebel papers re
fer was no battle, bat a reconnoissance, and no ar
tillery was lost—not even a shotgun. So much for
the veracity of the Richmond press.l
Very dense fogs prevail here in the mornings, and
the utmost vigilance is exacted to prevent a repeti
tion of the surprise of the 19th ult.
Nov. 9, Mt —Yesterday the Presidential election
passed off without any incidental' event worthy of
record. The troops from Ohio, of which the Army
of Western Virginia is principally composed, by a
law of their State polled their votes in the field.
For this purpose ambulances Were used, and the
votes were deposited in wooden cartridge boxes.
The voting was conducted in a quiet, orderly man
ner, and with the utmost fairness, to allow every
voter to deposit his vote and to select the candidate
of his choice.
The only feature of the election of Interest was
the depositing the votes of Generals Sheridan and
Crook. Both of these officers, being citizens of Ohio,
. were . obliged to vote in the field. The polls were
held in the camp of the Army of West Virginia, at
. a distance of over a mile from - General Shoridan , s
•headquarters. The day was unpleasant, it having
rained very hard the night previous, rendering the
soil here, which Is of a clayey. nature, very slippery.
General Sheridan, therefore ordered Ms head
quarters ambulance, in which , with Major Gene
ral Crook, he rode to the polls. His visit
was entirely Impromptu, no previous notioe hav
ing been given of the event to the. troops..
He had hardly got, however, on the borders of the
camp when his presence was discovered to thetroops,
and in a few seconds, as he was rapidly driven to
the camp of tho 34th Ohio Regiment, the woods re
verberated with cheers. Having reached hie desti
nation he alighted and selected his ticket from some
of the soldiers, went up to the polls, and, after ans wer
leg the questions of the election judges as to where
his family resided, his township, Are.. he deposited ilia
vote. Theist Brigade band of the 2d Division mean
while arriVed at the scene of the Generals visit and
played the air of 4, Hail to the Chief" and other pa ;
triotic tunes. General Crook, the successful leader
of the Army of West Virginia, next voted; and' he
was loudly cheered by the troo psi he has so often led ,
to battle.

including a good many negro soldiers. Though the
negroes claimed the right of suffrage because Light

[From the Richmond Dispatob,. NOV: 9:1
Yesterday will be long.remembered in the annals
0f... mankind: On yesterday twenty millions of
human beings but four years ago esteemed the
treest population on earth, met at various points
of assemblage for the purpose of making a. for
mal surrender of their liberties ; not to a great mili
tary conqueror; not to a renowned statesman;
not to a fellow-oltizen who. has- done the State ser

not to one who has preeerved the State from.

greatness at borne ; not to a 001311 T or a Napoleon,
the glory of whose achievemeatamight be pleaded
as an apology for the abject submission of the
multitude; but to a vulgar tyrant,.who has never
seen a shot fired in anger, who has no more idea of
statesmanship than as a meanaof making money;
whose career has been ono of unliiiited and unmiti
gated disaster; whose personal- qualities are those
of a low buffoon, and whose most noteworthy con
vereation Is a medley of profane jests and obscene
anecdotes; a creature who has squandered the
lives of millions without remorse and without
even the decency of pretending to feel for their
misfortunes;, who still Cries for blood and for
money in the pursuit of his atrocious de
sigma. To• such a Man,. . yesterday, the people
of the so. called United Mates sarrendered their

descendants. There is nothing - s in the world to pre

reasca to think that thus deposed he will not be. It
seems strange to us that he should have condescend

vinced he would. never have done so had he not
boon convinced beforehand that it would result in

so Infatuated as to thrust himself in his way; we are
unable to conceive. The lightest punishment he had
to expect wits to be ornahed, for he might have felt
assured Abet even had ho ' been elected, he .
would not have been allowed to take his
seat. All the preparations of Abraham Lincoln
indicate a determination to take possession of the.
Government by force—his military arrangements,;,
the stationing of soldiers about the polls ; the arrest
of the New York commissioners ; the prohtbation
against any tickets but•his own in the fleet; hiajeal

indicate a determination to conquer by this ballot.
