In times of peace, when parties differ
ed about ad valorum and specific duties
on imports; or about the distribution of
the proceeds of the public lands among
1 the States, platforms in relation to those
' trifling points of difference did very well;.
• without them there could have been no
I
difference of opinion. But in times like
these, when the Constitution and Union
are assailed by open treason in the
i South, and equally as dangerous treason
—through Abolition teaching—in the
tiorth,platforms are altogether different,
1 The country being in a state of revolu
i tion, bordering upon chaos, it is entirely
lout of the question to frame a platform
1 which can be binding. General Mc-
Clellan, therefore, wisely interpreted
the Chicago platform for himself, and
his letter accepting the nomination
must be taken as his profession of faith.
He does not repudiate that platform but
he interprets it, and upon that interpre
tation he stands before the people.
But see the difference between his op
ponents; Lincoln itnd Fremont do not
interpret their respective platforms, as
McClellanAoes his; but they openly re
pudiate some of the most important
planks, upon whichtheir respective con
ventions laid especial stress.

to same reeling Is-being exhibited
throughout the country. But the most
important accession to our ranks, not in
the Empire site, is that of Ex-Senator
Browning, of Illinois. He,ivaa„ a
Republican, and was elected
United States Senate immediately- after
the election of Mr. Lincoln; ho knows
the joker, of Springfield well and con
sequently he is opposed to his re-elec
' lions.
Thetpeople•.of Quincy ; - Ill. ; where Mr.
Browning resides, held a meeting the
other night to rejoice over the nomina
tion of McClellan; after adjourning
they called upon Mr. Browning at his
residence, which the Quincy Herald
thus notices.
"The immense throng then marched
with a band of music, to the residence
of 0. H. Browning. Being loudly call
ed for, Mr. Browning appeared upon
the portico in front of his residence, and
proceeded to address the people. In
the course of his remarks he paid a high
and well deserved tribute to the reputa
tion and fame •of Gen. McClellan. He
said that •he had often before declared
that Gen. McClellan was a true patriot
and an exalted statesman—that he re
garded him as the best general our
country had produced in the present
war, and that he should not feel at all
distressed if he should be elected to the
Presidency. At the conclusion of his
remarks he was honored with three
rousing and hearty cheers."
A Portrait of Gen. Sherman
An army correspondent, who saw
Sherman for the first time after the taking
of Atlanta, gives the following descrip
tion of his appearance:
While I was watching to-day the end
less line of troops shifting by, an officer,
with a modest escort, rode up to the
fence near which I was standing, and
dismounted. He was rather tall and
slender, and his quick movements de
noted good muscle, added to absolute
leanness—not thinness. His uniform
was neither new nor old, but bordering
on a hazy mellowness of gloss, while
the elbows and knees were a little ac
cented from the continuous agitation of
those joints. The face was one I should
never rest upon in a crowd, simply be
cause, to my eye, there was nothing re
markable in it, save the nose, which
organ was high, thin, and planted with
a curve as vehement as the curl of a
Malay cutlass. The face and neck
were rough, and covered with reddish
hair, the eye light in color and animated,
but, restless and bounding like a ball,
from one object to another, neither
piercing nor brilliant; the mouth well
closed but common; the ears large the
hands and feet long and thin; the gait a
little rolling, but firm and active. In
dress and manner there was not the
slightest trace of pretension_ He spoke
rapidly, and generally with an inquisi
tive smile. To this ensenage I must add
a hat which was the reverse of dignified
or distinguished—a simple felt affair,
with a round crown and drooping brim,
and you have as fair a descriptitm of
Gen. Sherman's externals as I can pen.
Seating himself on a stick of cord
wood hard by the fence, he drew a b
of pencil from his pocket, and spreading
a piece of note paper on his knee, he
wrote with great rapidity. Page after
page was filled by the General's nimble
pencil and despatched.
For a half hour I watched him
hough 1 looked for and expected to find
hem, no symptons could I detect that
the mind of the great leader was' taxed
by the infinite cares of a terribly hazard
ous military coup de main. Apparently,
it did not lie upon his mind the weight
of a feather. A mail arrived. He tore
open the papers and glanced over them
hastily, then chatted with some general
crfflcers near him, then rode oil with
characteristic suddenness, but with
fresh and smiling countenance, filing
down the road beside many thousand
men, whose lives were in his keeping.
The New Postoffiee System
Went into operation on Monday be
tween Washington and New York. By
this system the tedious process of dis.
tributing mails from various parts of the
country in our principal cities will be
avoided. All yhe work will be done in
the railway cars, by a force of mail
agents employed for the purpose, and
the mails will be sent from one railway
post-office to another without detention.
The force required for the work of each
railway post-office will consist of one su
perintendent (who will be a kind of post
master), and tour clerks.
,On the Wash
ington line, mails will be taken for all
the principal points—Newark, Trenton,
Philadelphia, Havre de Grace, Balti
more, and some other points, as well as
for places connecting with these cities.
Distributions will be made for stations
not on the regular line, in such manner
as will enable the postmaster to whom
the matter is delivered to send it for
ward at once, and without the ordinary
assorting processes through which so
many delays occurr. The great value
of the new system will not be fully appa
rent until railway post-offices are placed
on all the lines • but the immediate gain
to persons residing in New York, Phila
delphia and Washington, who send let
ters between these points, will be three
to four hours. Packages which must
now be in the post-office at 6 o'clock, in
order to be sent by the half-past seven
o'clock express train mail, can be for
warded on Monday, and afterwards by
the cars at the moment of starting.
Then the letters aro so disrtibuted on
board, that, on arriving at any place on
the route, they may be put in the hands
of the carriers, and at once delivered to
the persons to whom they are directed

from Senator Reverdy Johnson', of
Maryland.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, September 14.
GENTLEMEQS; Your invitation to the
meeting•to be held in Washington on
the'l7th list. to ratify the nomination of
McClellan and Pendlenton is but just
received.
It will be out of my power to be with
you, my stay here for, some days longer
being unavoidable. Opposed as I was
to the original election of Mr.Lineoln to
to the station he now occupies, from a
conviction of his being unequal' to its
duties, the manner in which he : has met
them, has but confirmed me in that opin•
ion. With more than two millions of
soldiers placed in his hands and an un
limited amount of treasure, his policy
and his manner of using his power, in
rabid of putting the rebellion down and
bringing to our ranks thousands of Union
men who were then in each of the
seceded states, and who, in some, are
believe to out number the rebel, have
but served the double purpose of
uniting them against us dividing the
public opinion of the loyal Stales.
The effects, of course, is that not
withstanding the gallant deeds of
our army and navy, and the manifest
justice of our cause, the Union is even
more effectually broken now than it
was when his administration commen—
ced. Wnatever of honesty of purpose
may belong to him, and I am willing to
admit that-he has had it, hie vanilla.
tion, his policy now conservative, now
radical, his selection of military officers
grossly incompetent, his treatment of
those who were evidently competent, his
yielding in this to what he has himself,
been often heard to say as an excuse
was, "outside pressure," his having not
only not punished, but as far as the pub
lic know, unrebnked the vandal excess—
es of military officers of his special se
leetion, shocking the sentiment of the
world, and disgracing us in the views
of Christendom by the burning of pri
vote •dwellings. and depriving their often
exclusively female occupants of home
and means ofliveli hood—all demonstrate
that he is grossly incompetent to govern
the country in this crisis of its fate.
How can an honorable man believe
that one who has so signally failed for
almost four entire years, can be success
ful if another four years be granted him?
No one in Congress certainly. Not
twenty members believe him equal or at
all equal to the mighty task. He has
been tried and found wanting. Let na
have a change, none, if loyal, can be for
the worse. It is not that we wish to use
his own classic fignre to swap horses in
the midst of a stream, but that when we
are on a journey and safety depends on
making our destination at the earliest
moment, we should cast aside a spavin
ed and thin horse, and secure a spun(
and active one
In General McClellan we are furnished
—in the history of his life, in the purity
of his character, his refinement, his. at—
tainments, civil and military, and, above
all in his perfect loyalty—every assur—
ance that, under his executive guidance,
the war, now so exhaustive of treasure
and blood, will be soon brought to a tri—
umphant termination, and this Union
which "at all hazards" he will never
agree to surrender, will be restored.
With regard,
Your obedient servant,
REVRIZDY J OHNSON.
Trial Trip of one of the Mersey
Rams.
One of the rams built in the Mersey
by the Lairds, for the rebels, and rechrist
ened the Scorpion since her purchase by
the British Government, has made a suc
cessful trial trip. The London Times
has the following description of these
vessels, showing what damage they
would have been capable of doing had
they passed into the hands of the rebels:
"The whole of the machinery is below
the water-line. The ordinary hull is of
iron, of extra strength; over this is a
coating of ten inches of teak and armor
plates four and khalf inches thick, near
ly the whole length of the side, but tap
ering in thickness at bow and stern. The
stem curves outward five feet below the
water-line, and, being formed of massive
wrought iron, forms a ram of immense
penetrating force. This prow, as re
gards the propulsion of the vessel
through the water, really forms pan of
the hall. The iternis shaped with the
view of protecting .the screw propeller
and glamcing off shots. The whole ar
rangements display a great combination
of strength. There are two turrets, the
greater portion of which is below the
main deck, with two guns to each These
towers are built on a strong iron spindle
fixed to the vessel, and their enormous
weight is supported by a number of rol
ler wheels. The plating of the turrets
is five and a half inches thick. Each
turret will be mounted with two guns,
each weighing twelve tons. The guns
will be placed parallel with each other,
and only six men will be required to
man them—three to each gun. The sc•
commodation for officers and crew is
ample. There is a steering apparatus
on the main deck. The trial was con
ducted in priyate, but Messrs. Dinny and
Hobbs, Admiralty Inspectors, were pres
ent. The Scorpion, with two hundred
tons of coal on oard, drew thirteen
feet forward, and fourteen feet nine
inches aft. Her steering qualities were
found to be admirable, and she made a
complete circle in an average time of
five minutes. The Government inspec
tion is expected to take place shortly."
Probable Change of - Base.
Rumors for some days past have been
that Lee is about to abandon Petersburg,
throking the bulk of his army upon the
Danville railroad. The Richmond Ex
aminer says that some of the columbiads
are being removed from Petersburg to
Danville, which is 168 miles southwest
from Richmond, near the North Carolina
line, and that the rumor was that this is
to be the new base of the Richmond
army. A retirement of the rebel army
to Danville would necessitate the entire
abandonment of Virginia and North
Carolina, and could only arise from in
ability on the part of the rebels to main
tain two armies able to cope with Grant's
and Sherman's. If the rebel govern
ment is already looking in that direction
for a new base, they must feel tolerably
sure that Grant's present operations are
likely to drive them soon out of Rich
mond. Sherman's position at Atlandi
is likely to :cause some change in the
rebel programme. Hood is too weak to
stand Up against him, and Lee is not
strong enough to send him any assistance
from Richmond. Possibly both may
compromise by joining their forces at a
more central position when Lee is obliged
to leave Richmond. General Granfsaid
at Burlington on Sunday last that he ex
pected more from General Sherman than
• any man la the United States: whichlm
plies`that Sherman has not entirely coin
pleted his work, and his future move
ments are to be co-operative with thyse
of Grant.

We sneeze. a alight, thin, sharp, ichorous
matter comes from our nose ; we have heaviness
of the head, great oppression of the chest, some
tightness, and a little tenderness in the region of
the lungs. Now, attention must be given to this
state of facts, or inflammation of the lungs, or
congestion may take place, and death may be
with us before we are aware.

BRAN DRETH'S PILLS,
Say two, four, or six, according to age, sex and
Constitution. must be taken. They must purge
very freely, drink warm drinks while the fever
lama and as a diet eat plenty of good Indian
meal or chicken broth, with plenty of rhx
in it. 13; this treatment, on the second or third
day the disease will be cured. This complaint
is going the rounds and will be followed by
cly sentery and iliarrhma, but they will be cured
by the same process. The wise will have Brand

on, and by taking them by the directions, safety
and health will follow.

In the year 1866 Mr. Mathews first prepared
toe VENETIAN HAIR DYE; since that time
it has been used by thousands, and in no instance
has it failed to give entire satisfaction.
The VENETIAN DYE is the cheapest in the
world. Its price is only Fifty cents, and each
bottle contains double the quantity of dye in
those usuallysold for *l.
The vENETIAN DY E is warranted not to in
jure the hair or scalp in the slightest degree.
The VENETIAN DYE works with , rapidity
and certainty, the hair requiring no preparation
whatever.
The VENETIAN DYE produces any shade
that may be desired—one that will not fadeorock
or wash out—one that is as permanent as theltair
