SY:2 - The following rich, rare, and racy
editorial is from the columns of the New
York -Herald an avowed McClellan paper.
it is decidedly trulh coming from "unexpected
places." Read it, and say whether you have
beard, read or seen anything in a RepubliCan
paper, which has as much biting sarcasm,
%vhich exhibits so much knowledge of the
egidistical character of this /itt!ij Mc-
Clellun, and which develops so much of the
lilac spite and jealousy of the little candidate
of the Cop. Con.:
IGNORANCE is UNEXPECTED PLACES,+-WC
were very much astonished by the indication
given In General McClellan's recent speech
that he had never heard. of General Grant.
General McClellan, as the majority of our
readers know, is the candidate of the Chicago
Convention for President; and that Conien
. tion in its platfdrm proclaimed its symp}thy
&lib our army and navy. Its candidate le
. 4.titorefore expected to give expression to that
sympathy in his speeches, and. this General
MCCICURII is understood to have done at
Orange. He spoke of Sheridan, Sherman and
Farragut ; but he very strangely omitted the
greatest of all—General Grant—the man who
certainly, by General lieClellan's example, is
entitled to praise and glory, not only for his
•own particular achievements, but for the
achievements of all the others; for, when
(mural McClellan occupied the position that
General Grant now occupies all the victories,
East and West, North, South and everywhere
, . were his ' , He claimed this, and the country
admitted it. But, whether or no General
McClellan ever' heard of the existence of this
General Grant; we can assure him that it is
the universal opinion :of the people or this
country that there is such a man. It is be
lieved that thiS General fought a battle
ittle
at Fort Donelson quite early in the watt, and
achieved a great victory there, capturing
fifteen thousand . ' prisoners'. it is asserted
that ho captured the rebel ' , stronghold of
Yieksburg, with forty thonSanci prisoners,
end gained a great battle at Chatanooga in
she same. year. It is positively known thlit
he has fought great battles and been able to
move his army the next day, There is, in
deed,, one reason' that - Irds tended to keep him
out of sight: he has. never -rnade any: great
noise in the papers with complaints against
she bad treatment of the administration. Yet,
In spite of this, his name is in all the hiStpries
of the War. How is it that General McClellan
skould not have met with *it in his reading
lately ? Be has had nearly two years 4 leis
ure. What has he been at? '
"WHAT IS THE PP.OSPECT."=It is the
..N. Y. Herald which asks this question
an view of the repudiation of -McClellan
',by the Peace men. "What is the pros
pect ?" quoth . , the Herald, "Another
Democratic) rupture and the election of
1860 over again." 'The Herald despoil-
•
dingly adds
"We had ,supposed that after a faur
years fast the seven time-honored princi
ples of dethocracy—the five loaves
and two fishes—would rule the roast.
But with the intractable copperheads the
principle Of secession is'paramount.!There
is a split. The two factious, of the party
u
cannot be reconciled. A rupture is pro
claimed, and very soon, we apprehend
the apparent democratic harmony of yes
terday will relapse into a confusion ! worse
confounded than ever."
fOirlionest Democrats! Remember that
the platform upon which Gen. Mtlellan
stands was drawn up by C. L Vallandig
ham,—the man who bosted that he nev
er had,. while in Congress aided by voice
or vote, the efforts of the Government to
suppress the Itebellion was arrested
and condemned to deportation into Rebel
territory, by competent authority, tor trea
sonable conduct, and of whom a rebel pa
per thus wrote after his nomination for
Governor of Ohio one year agO :
"He is Lone of our style of men, and as
such we do, not wish to see him consigned
to the obseurity and the misfortune of an
exile, whore he is powerless for good."
ErThe Cops have a meeting in Couders
port Saturday of this week. Brimstone, peace
s.nd whiskey will be "peddled" cxteneivoly.
The tone of the Union papers!in
Lycoming, Clinton and Centre counties,
indicate the vigorous and united support
of WiLsoN for Congress. This makes
his success certain. The Clinton Repib
lican, one of the most vigorous paperstin
the State, upon hoisting F Wilson's cattle
to the bead of the local ticket, says:
"The result of Mr. Benson's declina
tion will be to leave the contest between
Mr. Wright, of this county, an uncom
promising Copperhead, and Mr. Wilson,
of Tioga, whose roundness as a friend' of

.DICCLELLA.N . S HISTORY IN TIIIO.E
SENTENcEs.—McClellan's failure as a
commander, and 1113 bankruptcy in every
quality of a soldier, are history the most
shameful in the annals of American poli
tics, and the most burailiating in. military
biography. Attorney General Hanuit of
Indiana, recalled it recently at Indiadap
oils, in a speech, whvie brevity and trial
fulness make it a compendium. He said
that "Old Abe 1" exhausted every appli
ance known to human ingenuity to make
him a gallant and successfvl warrior.—
While the people cried out to the Presi
dent in the bitterness of their woe, "For
God's sake, give us -a General who will
do, something, who is-equal to the demand
upon him, who will not dig the grave of
the nation within the sound of the enemy's'
cannon—while the patience of Congress
and of the Cabinet was wearinn•., and final
ly wore out with the inordinate cost of
vain display and of - the failure of Move
ments, Old Abe clung to him, through
I evil and through good report, hoping and
1 praying that he might do better. .11; day
1 and by night he curried and pampered
him, kicked and coaxed him, scolded and
) praised him, tickled and lashed Lim,
physicked and nursed bk.' patted .and
rubbed him, begged and Cursed him,
until finally; in the agony of despair, the
worn out President exclaimed : "He is
; great on 'dress parade, but not worth,a
'curse in aetion-l"
•ar General McClellan having I first
recommended the draft, what guarantee
have his supporters, who are opposed to I
that mode of filling up an army, that 41
sweeping conscription would not Ike one
of the first measures of his administration
if he should be elected ? Slipposci J 611.1
Davis refuses to lay down his'arms, and
suppose he takes it, into his head ;to in-I
vade Pennsylvania; Ohio, and llother
Northern States : McClellan would!havel
to fight him in self defense, of course.—
But where would he get his artuieii, ? Fie I
would be restrained by common decency,
from asking any members of our pirty col
"volunteer in sueh a war as this," and he
might as well attempt to - call ''spirit i ts from!
the vasty deep" as to summon members
of his OTCM party to volunteer. IWhat;
could be do but order a very' large sized
draft, or allow Jeff. DaOs to be king of,
both North and South ? Indeed, judging-1
from his haste in 1861 to have a dratC
.'
"made at once,"! is it not natural to sup
pose, that he would order the wheels to
Ibe turned everywhere without giving
either party a chance to volunteer ?
Democrats who are "down on the daft"
will doubtless derive much pleasure, from
the consideration of these questions in the
"sanctity of their hotues."—ifontro.;e Fa

"Crack ! crack ! rent the rifles, and after each
crack,
We heard a quick gallop--up rode Little Mac." I
One of the 'World's "campaign songs,"
from which we take these two lirips, has
naturally given rise to considerable spec
ulation, much curiosity existing tq know
on which field of battle the "young Na
poleon" .thus enacted the role of iris pred
ecessoi at the Bridge of Lodi. Some of
our coteuiporaries are calling - for informa
tion upon this point. 1
These inquirers have probably been
misled by . a typographical error in the
tort as printed, foethe change of 'one lit
tle monosyllable clears up the Ncliqie mys
tery as, completely as in some of !the ob
scure passages of Shakespeare. The lines
should red: .
"Crack I crack t %Cent the rifles, and after each
•
crack,
.
We li card a.qui ek gallop—of rode Little Mac,"
And they would apply to almost any of
the great - battles with which Gon. Me-
Clelian's name is connected, and be in
perfect 'keeping with the truth of history.
Ur . The Toronto Globe alluding to the
order for proceeding with the draft, re
marks :
"This step on Mr. Lincoln's part indi
cates either a very implicit reliance upon
the detirmination of the Northeen people
to sustain the prosecution df the war with
all vigor and at all cost, or a lofty resolve
to:peril his chances of re-ckdtiou rather
than delay the filling up of they Union
arm

indicates both. The -,ncoiile and
their President are alike patriotic, and,
live or die, sink or swim, survive or per
ish, they are for Liberty and 'Union, one
and inseparable, now and for evi3r,..
PHILIP KERNEY'S PROTEST.T—When
Gen. 11.1.'Clellan issned his extraordinary
order for retreat to Harrison's. Landing,
after the battle of Malvern fill, the noble
and gallant Philip Kearney exolairaed to
the officers around him :
Philip Kearney, an officer, enter my
protest against this order for retreat ; we
ought, instead of retreating to follow up
the enemy and take Richmond. ' And in
full view of all the responsibility of such
a declaration, I say to yon all, such an
order can only be prompted by cowardice
and treason" '
The Polit!cs of the Methodists.
The Pittsburg Annual Conference has
just uttered the feelings and politics of
the entire body of Methodist Protestants
.
in,the United States, in five patriotic res..
olntions, unanimously passed. Here they
are, bugle-toned and cheery :
IResolved, That this Conference does
hereby declare its hiyalty to the Govern
ment of the United States, and its ap
proval of the Administration of Abraham
Lincoln in . his efforts to overthrow the
Rebellion awl maintain the cause of the
Übion.
Re . solved, That Whatever may have
been the desigh of the S!aveholders of the
South in bringing on this great Rebellion,
in,our judgment, God is permitting this
war in order to purify this nation from
her sins—especially the great sin of 1
Sla
very which we hold - to have been the
main cause of the Rebellion.
Resolved, That the Emancipation Prim
'ablation is hereby endorsed by this Con
fe'rence, and it is our prayer that the
President, by judicious management, the
power of his armies, and 'the help of tbe,
Almighty, may be able to carry it into
pfactilal effect in all the Rebel States.
%Resdlved, That party politics, in our
judgment, should neveir be allowed to in
taifere with our allegiance to our country,
and we hereby 'advise all our people to be
faithful to the Administration in all its
efforts to sustain the Union, constantly
praying for the Government and the suc
cess of our armies.
Revitvcd, That we desire a peace grow
ing out of the sslvation of our Govern
ment, based upon the principles of im
mutable righteousness, in order that the
Christian religion may take a firmer hold
than heretofore on the American mind.
LET IT NOT BE :FORGOTTEN
that this ilibellion is nothing more or less
than a revolt of the so-oalled Democratic
party against the constitutional authority
of the United States Government.
Let it not be forgotten that this bloody
revolt has bden entered into and carried
6u by them because they lost the politial
c l ontrol of the country,That notwith
standing they had a fair election in 1860,
they determined to have a free fight
aft erw art's. -
Let it not be forgotten that these
lead
ers of the so-called Democratic party
commenced their civil war under the Ad-
Miriistration of James Buchanan, and had
lialf the Southern states out of the Union,
the Confederacy establisted, and the
Montgomery Constitution adopted before
Abraham Lincoln came into office.
Let it not be forgotten that every lead
er of the rebellion was a leader in the so
called Democratic party, and that the
present leaders of the party are in open
sympathy with those who are in armed
rebellion against the constitution and
Government.
! Let it not be forgotten that nearly all
the States that ga -e Democratic majori
ties in 1860 seced d and rebelled, while
.the few that did no secede, attempted to
do so—that every Democratic Governor
in 1861 went:over to the side of treason
and rebellion,
Let it not be for gotten that this being
a rebellion of the leaders of the so-called
Democratic party, they are responsible
for the loss of life, the waste of blood and
treasure., the cripples, the widows and
prphanS, the suffering, sorrow. and deso
-laticni resulting from the civil war. they
have brought upon the country;—that in
!the sight of God and man, and in the
;records offuture history, they will be held
'responsible.
I Let it not be forgotten that to restore
these rebellious factionists to power would
be offering a premium to rebellion, and
would be saying to political parties that
r all they have to do when defeated is to
create a civil war and tile people for the
safe of peace wfll be compelled to allow
them to hold the reins.
L' .2. - r• The Richmond 'Enquirer sneers
at the proposal of an armistice. It says:
"There is but one way to obtain all wo
want and to remain in - the right; it is the
adoption of a manly, straightforward
course. Let us reject all secondary ques
tions and refuse all contingent arrange•
meats. The simple recognition of full
and absolute independence of' the Confed
erate States is the one great condition by
which alone we can conclude peace; we
ask for nothing more; we can accept
nothing less. All other questions—of
territorial limits, 'of the payment of the
national debt, of compensation for losses
—nay, even the veved question of eman
cipation—sinks into utter insignificance
by the side of the fundamental condition.
Independence and peace is what we fight
and pray for. Our recognition yielded,
we will discuss reconstruction with our
- enemies, and when convinced that our
interest ies in onco more trying one gov
ernment, there will. be no danger of our
people disregarding their plain interest.
Without recognition there can be no ar
mistice, no convention, no disunion—
nothing but war, war, war. They must
choose between the recognition and .war;
there is no middle ground. Here we
plant our banner, and here, with God's
help, we mean to maintainit for us and
our children."
GEN. MCCALL,
the first commander of
the Pennsylvaniaßeseryes, and two years
ago the democratic candidate for Congress
in the Cheiter and Delaware district, is
out against McClellan and in favor of
Lincoln. Gem 'McCall is a democrat but
not of the copperhead stamp, and, there.
fore. cannot support a war democrat on a
peace platform.

An l Ohio Battle• Flag In the
Hands of a Bishop.
The recent session of the Pittsburg
Annual COnference of the Methodist'
Protestant Church,- was characterized by
an incident of patriotic and thrilling in
terest. Bishop Simpson followed the in
troduCtory exercises with a speech, an
hour and a half long, without, manuscript,
in which he held his vast audience of
cultiVated -Christisn gentlemen, spell- ,
bound, under the discussion of the four
questions :—"Shall our Government be I
destroyed and swept from the Earth ?
Can we be divided into two or more Gov- '
ernments ? Shall we have a. new form of
Government? Is not the Nation to rise
out of its present troubles bettor, firmer
and more powerful ?" During the wbole
of the address of this wonderful orator,
the assembly, in deep silence, hung upon
his lips, save when applause was struck
out of them as with blows of magnetism.
But a scene ensued, in the delivery of his
perorratiion, that will make this Confer
ence memorable to every one who attend
ed it An eye-witness says:
"Laying his hands on the torn and
ball•riddled colors of the 73d Ohio, he
spoke of the battle-fields where they had
been' baptized in blood, and described
their beauty as some small patch of azure,
filled with stars, that an angel had snatch
ed from the heavenly canopy. to set the
stripes in blood. With , this description
began a -scene that Demosthenes might
have envied. AU over the vast, assembly
handkerchiefs and hats were waved, and
before the speaker sat down the whole
throng arose, as by a magic influence, an.
screamed, and shouted, and saluted, and
stamped, and clapped; and wept, and
laughed in wild excitement. Colonel
Moody sprang to the top of a bench and
called for the Star Spangled' Banner,
which was sung, or rather shouted, until
the audience dispersed, as it bad to'dis
perse.'
m. There is a jokethough possibly
a wicked one—on a certain chaplain,
which ought not to be lost to the world.
It is the chaplain's business to look after
the regimental mail. This chaplain had
beeti annoyed exceedingly by the great
number of warriors who were constantly
running to him and inquiring about the
. I
arrival and
i departure of mails, To save
time and patience he posted a notice out.
sithi his tent, which read : "the chaplain
doei not know when the mail will go,"
and imagined his troubles at an end.- 1 .
He was absent from the camp that day,
and on returning and glancing at his nci
tied, was horrified to see there upon his
own door, read by multitudes during the
day, in a hand exactly counterfeiting his
own, follot4ing the words ."the chaplain
does not know when the mail will go,"
this addition by some wretch : "Neither
does he care a d—n." It was a case of
depravity he, was unprepared for:
ALL GOOD 21EN ARE IN FAVOR OV
PrAcE—but when peace comes, let it be
in !the shape of a white-winged angel,
and not in the form of a white-faced
shire, chained under the bloody_ feet of an
aristocratic rebellion.

political' axiom that ever was spoken on
earth, when he urged that we should
" render •unte Censor the things that are
Censor's." Hence we insist, that the
brave wen, 'preachers of the gospel of the
living God, who take part in the present
struggle for civilization. and liberty, are
only defending and upholding the first
great principles of their religion. The
preacher of God's religion, who lacks the
courage to cry out against the sin of sla
very, is either a fool or a knave, unfft to
teach men and women the way to Heaven,
and unworthy the confidence of the Chris•
Elan and the,patriot. But the out-spoken,
fearless Christian minister, who upholds
a man in power while declaring the eman
cipation from slavery of millions of God's
creatures, is the man who forms a target
for modern. Democrats. Yet it is brave
lb en like these who now support Abra-
I ham Lincoln's rijelection. No wonder,
thou; that the allies of slavery and treason
I hate such men.
There is another class whom the trea
sorisympathizer hates. It is composed
of men who, still claiming to be'Demo
, crots, openly and fearlosaly advocate, the
reelectiou of Abraham Lincoln, because
they believe that in his success is involved
the highest interest of our nationality.—
This class of men are sagacious and far
seeing. Heretofore they imparted all the
vigor, all the decency, all the prestige,
all the 'strength for victory, and, all the
statesmanship which the Democratic or
grnization ever possessed. Their separa
tion from the Democratic organization
does not dissolve their conneetton with
Democratic principles; but it does leave
the new leaders_ of the party in a woful
plight. Hence the vindictiveness and
The spleen with which independent Dem
ocrats aro assailed by the adventurers who
have,control of the Democratic organiza
tion. These men know that they cannot
wield that organization for good—they
see the best blood, the largest brain, the
steauie• courage, the experience and
renown of the old party against them.—
Hence their wrath. But it is a wrath
impotent. The Cessnas, and the Tods,
the Dickinsons _ and the Butlers, the
Casses and the Rosencrans, the Ileisters
and the Cunninghams, the Mac Dowels
and the, Speels; belong to a class who,
when the proper time comes, will return
to the Democratic party, spurning its
false leaders from their .assumed control
of its organization, and again, under purer
incentives and for loftier purposes, than
those which now inspire its leaders, con
trol it for the good for which it was
originally called into existence.—Harris

The Richmond - Enquirer, of the 22d
ult., says of Early's defeat : "The fall of
Atlanta had already cast a gloom over
the community, and this reverse will very
much increase it, we fear." Exactly the
same two events, the fall of Atlanta and
Sheridan's victory, cast the same gloom
over the McClellan party at the North.
Is that party which lives in hope of Union
defeats friennly to the ,Union ? Is its
triumph consistent with the safety of the
Union ?
