A Thorough . Plan for Conveying Infor-'
skiatian. to 'voters.
In the township of Jamaica, Queens county,
Long Island, a Very thorough plan has been
adopted to lay information before voters A,
committee ifiapPOinied which has a member
in every School diStdct, and a supply of short
political tracts is procured, such as the com
parison of
,the platforms of the two political
parties, and. other pithy statements of fact
and doctrine Wlil'eh it does not require
long to read, - and , these, enclosed in a com
mon letter envelope; 'without any address
upon them, are from. time to time distrib
uted at the houses of the voters. In this way
every voter has an opportunity of obtaining a
clear idea of the merits of the dispute be-,
tween the t'wo parties. If he neglect to read,
the tract sent him on one day, he may read
the tract sent him a few days afterwards. Thd
misrepresentations by which the opposition
seek to prejudice the public minds against
the friends of, thd Union and their candidates
have thus a chance of being met and coun
teracted. In the sane way, the voters will
probably be supplied with ballots just before
the election. This Ynethod of circulating po
litical information has this advantage over
every other,. Litt it overlooks nobody who is
able to read, and we hope to see it more gene
rally adopted.
Tax Toronto Globe i . alluding to the order
for proceeding with the draft, remarks:
"This
step on Mr. Lincoln's part indicates
„either every implicit reliance upon the deter
mination of the Northern 'people to sustain
the prosecution of the war with all vigor and
at all cost, or a lofty' resolve to peril his
chances of re-election rather than delay the
filling up of the Union army."
It indicates .both. The people and their
President are alike patriotic, and, live or die,
sink or swim, survive or perish, they are for
liberty and Union, one and inseparal*, now
and forever.
Pam Kneanms's Pacmgar.--When „General
M'Olellan issued his extraordinary order for
retreat to Harrison's Landing, after the battle
of Malvern Hill, the noble and gallant Phil
Kearney exclaimed to - the [officers around
him:
"I, Philip Kearney; art: old officer, enter my
solemn protest againat'this order for retreat;
we ought, instead of retreating, to follow up
the enemy and takatichmond. And in full
view of all the. responsibility of such a.t de
claration`, I say to by -cowardice
all,
.such an order can
only be prompted by coviardice and treason!"

Before Richmond.
Ike Kira A2nericdn and United States Ga
zette lately published a most singular state
ment, in reference to M'Clellan's campaign
before Richmond, by a gentleman connected
with the War Department. It corroborates
many intimation's already before the public
with regard to the Chickahomiuy campaign.
That Gen. M'Clellan is loyal, after his own
way of thinking, we do not doubt. That he
ever meant to put down the rebellion, and
that he used the forces placed at his command
to that end, we do not and cannot believe.
No sane person pot an idiot could have held
idle the overwhelming % force commanded by
Gen. M'Clellan from Ootober,lB6l, to March,
1862, if he had really *desired the crushing out
of the rebellion. He lay in and around Wash
ington, hemmed in, shut up, virtually be
sieged, by an army not one‘tliird so large as
his own, which held the taltimore and Ohio
railroad on his right and the Potomac on his
left, confining him to a single track of railroad
for all his supplies; when he might have
crushed the foe in a week if he had simply
tried--nay, if he alone had not peremptorily
forbidden and prevented any effort by his
subordinates. Who can explain such con
duct? When he has tried, let him make his
.next essay on thelollowing:
To the Members of the National Union aub,
Philadelphia:
Grarrymemr: I am in possession of your
note, in which you- ask me if I remember
having made certain 'assertions at the rooms
of the National - Union Club in January last,
on my return ficait the rebel lines, in regard
to . Gen. George-B. McClellan and Clement L.
Vallandigham; anadesiring to know if I would
reiterate said statement.
I recollect perfectly well having made certain.
statements in regard to the two persons
named, and in presence of several members
of the Club. ..
- .
In response to your inquiry if I would repeat
said statement, I will answer you by saymg
First, That while the battle before Richmond,
Virginia, 4, 1862, was still progressing, and
immediately after Gen. McClellan had fallen
back from before that city, in company with a'
friend, an officer, in the rebel service, who was
prevented from joining his command , in the
fight in question, on account of a wound re
,ceived at the.battle of,Seyen Pines, and being
provided with a special permit from the Wart
Department, at Richmond, I visited the ..forti-,
Deadens arund Richmond, and advanced to.
a distance of about two miles north of that
city, where .0e met Colonel Gayle, of the 12th
Alabama (Rebel) regiment, who was a partic
ular friend of the Officer in whose company I
was ; also Lieutenant Colonel Pickens, of the
same regiment, with whom,l had the afiyan-,
tage of a personal acquaintance. The Colonel
was superintending the disinterment of a :
number of cases of U. S. rifles, which lay
buried in the ground, and in rows, the ,soil
heaped over them as if they- civere, graves.
Font' of'
,the dases of rifles were' already um
buried widdit I reaChed the spot, and I had the
(to me unpleasant) satisfitction of 'handlb*,
'sonde of those guns, which had already been'
taken Gilt of thcise.cases..
I heard bal. Gayle say . that the interment;
of these guns was known at the War Depart
ment(, tebel) even before MOplelian's retreat
from before that city.
On the inquiry of . my friend and Dr. Kelly,
of the rebel army,, from Col. Gayle, if he,
thought it had been intended" that said guns.
should fall into the handsehhsConfederates,'
the Colonel answered in the affirmative, and
concluded ty gaying, 4i Atite's all right."
• Nut more than a hundred yards, distant;
from this spot, molt del. Pickens pointed
out to me a number of ;ambulances-two
dred and ten in'nUrnberand said he'litid. 'as=
doted 'at their' CaPture; and that, when. Cap.:
trued, the' horses lirelonging to said amlyalan
sea Were hitched, - seine, to trees and some 'to'
the rear of the ambulimees. As I was then,
in the 'employ of the United States, it was iny
business to gather :in mnehinformation in, re-:
gard to military Matte
rs 'as possible, and ,oni
my inquiry of 'CoL, 'PiCk . ens if he. thought
these amhulanceshadheen intended to be in
the same " bargain." as the rifles, he said: "I
don't see what else they should have been in
tended for,
,frik they were just where you sees
'them, and thehersieshitched as yob. see them,:
while the fight was going on right here," • '
Presently some whisky was handed f ound, ;
and we all drank a tOast to "Littlellae.t
About the month of April of the sanie Year,.
as I was going from Richmond to Mebilk
company with Lient. Wiltz and Dr. Rnded
Missottri, and Dr. Fontleroy, of Virginia; the
two latter gentlemen being of the rebel Gen-,
eral Price's staff, We 'met with Brigadier-Gen-
eral Watson of Alabama. Gen. Watson said
in my presence that then, or at any time after:
the war, he could - give satisfactory proof. that ,
George B. McClellan,' of the Federal army, eti
the outbreak of the rebellion and duringthel
preliminary arrangements for the organization
of the Confederate' army, had offered
his ser
vices to the ConfiderateThivernmentAnt that
as the Confederate' Government' had resAred:
to give rank in preference'to offiCerS fop:ugly:
in the United States "service, according "to
seniority of rank, they could not give to - Mc
Clellan what he, desired, as other officers
ranked him in Seniority ; and that McClellan,
having become offended at this; then offered,
his services to the United States.
In December, 1862, I had occasion to call
on Governor Sorter, .of Alabama, who was
then sojourning at the ..11rintsville . hotel,,
HuntErville, Alabama. Governor Shorter in;
troduced me to General Watson, who was
present. The General recognized me imme-.
diately. And, as the Governor resumed a
conversation with another person in the room,
I, while in conversatiOn with the General, had
occasion to refer to our trip to Mobile, and I
purposely brought about the conversation in
reference to General McClellan, aryl General
Watson, reiterated the statement he had pre
viously Made in regard to'McClellan. •
. .
In regard to Clement I). Irallandigham, the
Ohio traitor, I will: say that ditring his scijourn
at Richmond he was repeatedly closeted with
Jeff. Davis. James '..t. - Seddort, the rebel Sec
retary of 'War, and Judah the
rebel Secretary of State.
During my visit to Itichmond at that epoch,
I learned from reliable sources (rebel officials)
that this Ohio traitor had pledged his.word to
the 'rebel authorities, that if the Democratid
party at the North sueeeedeil M electing their
candidate at the next- Pi:e'sricleittia . I election,
he would use all-his influence-to-obtain peace
on the basis of a...recognition o.the Con
federate Statei separate andihdependent
government. - ' '
,
during my slay: at Et cht&bnd,
having ealldd on n ldr. Benjamin, the . Secretary
of State, with a view to :obtain ari interview ;
on business of a private Character; I . as told
by . an official in - attendance at the Depeitite4l

by me and other Government agents.
Great were the expectations of the rebels
dining my last visit within their lines, if, thig

their candidate to the Presidency.

I attacked the forces of General Early,. over

gagement, which lasted from early in the
morning, until five o'clock in the evening,
completely defeated him, driving him through
Winchester, and capturing about ;'2,400 pris

andnioet of 'their wounded.
The rebel Generals Rhodes and Gordon'
were killed, and three other General officers
wounded. Most of the enemy's wounded and
all their killed fell into our hands.
Our loses are severe. Among them Gen.
D. A. Russel, commanding a division in the
