WIT AND SENTIMENT.
HOW IL TEappens.

Some of our exchanges have revived the
following old but good story
4 number of old politicians, all of whom
were seeking Office under the government,
were seated at a tavern porch talking, when
a toner named John D., person who is
very loouacious when corned, but exactly
the opposite when sober, said that if the
company had no objection, he would tell
them story. They told him to 'fire away"
whereupon he spoke as follows:
A certain King-I don't recc~ ot -,

While jourReying along they met q
countryman on a jackass. He advised them
to return, for, said he, g it will certainly
rain They smiled contemptuously upon
him and passed on. Before they had gone
many miles, however, they had reason to
regret not having taken the rustics advice,
as heavy shower coming up they were
drenched to the skin.
When they had returned to the palace,
the King reprimanded the philosopher Sc
verely.

The King then gave him his walking pa

for the prisoners taken at Bull run by the rebels,

more expensive and dilatory manner along the
coast, leaving Gen. Mcclellan in Washington in
command of department, with large army,
and literally doing nothing, fighting no battles
and winning no victories This is certainly not
serving the interests of the country and it is the
duty of the President, who has supreme power,
over all, to ascertain where all this jealousy
and trouble comes from and remedy the evil.
He has been placed in the Presidential chair by
the people. The constitution gives him the
power, and he should, without a moments
delay, rise to the position Of statesman and
patriot, and see that there is no interference
with the plans of General Mcclellan. That
much, at least. the public now demand from his

insurgents was moderated, and the force to
encounter it was not commensurate with the
proportions Of the rebellion. But now the case
is altered, and preparations are being made
upon gigantic scale, and an array organized
equal to everything expected from it. Let 1t be

The REPORTED NAVAL DISASTER AT THE
PASSES OF THE MIsslssIPPT.-The reported de-
struction of the Preble at the head Of the Upper
Pass of the Mississippi, for which it is stated New
Orleans was illuminated, is not, if even true, to
be regarded as an argument against the success
Of naval expedition. The squadron there
were no part of our expedition-they were
merely few vessels blockading the river, and
were taken rather by surprise. When an expo
dition sails against any of the Southern Sec
ports it will go in such force and with such
preparation as will bear down all opposition.
One good has resulted from the disaster: the
government now know what they have to deal
with, and will be prepared accordingly.

The ELECTION IN PENNsYLvANrA-SINa
REsULT-WHAr WILL New York DoEThe re-
turns from the Pennsylvania election exhibit q
result but little dreamed of by the public, and
have infused new life into the dead carcass of the
Albany Regency Of this State The fact Of the
matter is, the republicans, who had, to great
extent, the management of the people'sparty in
the keystone State, were SO engrossed looking
after Office and the spells that they paid no at
tention to their local organizations, and per-
mitted the election to 60 by default; while, on
the other hand, the democracy we're thoroughly
organized, and we should not be surprised if
full returns from that State showed that the
democracy had carried it.
This result should be lesson to the opposi-
ton to the Albany Regency in this State, or that
rotten concern will come off victorious. The
Regency is making strong effort at organizing,
raising funds, &C., determined to make despe-
rate effort in this their dying struggle. They
of course pretend to be for the war just as
strong as their opponents; but we trust that the
public will not be deceived by their prcten-
sions, and thus be led to the endorsement OF the
famous secession resolution, which embodies the
secession doctrine. The managers of the Union
party in the rural districts, we are informed, are
! doing but little towards getting out the vote
for the peoples and Union ticket and at the
same time the republicans, as in Pennsylvania,
are quarrelling among themselves over the
spells. In this city the managers of the Union
organization are frittering away their strength
in numberless organizations, injuring rather
than benefitting the State ticket; or, in other
words, appear to be determined to beat them
selves. We should not be surprised if Fernando
Wood was at the bottom of oil this. 1t is i'm
portant that the State of New York, occupying
the position OF the first State in the Union in
every particular, should give a verdict in
November that will strike terror to the hearts
of traitors everywhere Cannot the republicans
drop their petty squabbles for the time being
and work for their country, and the Union
politicians work as though they intended to
succeed instead of defeating themselves? We
hope that every possible effort will be made to
roll up for the people'sticketa majority number
ed by hundreds of thousands. 1t can be easily
done if half the effort is made that is now being
made by the Rengency.

The ARMIES OF THE PoToMAC.-A day or two
since we stated that Gen. Mcclellan had made
his arrangements, and would have bagged the
rebels on Munson's Hill, six thousand strong,
had it not been for some leaky member Of the
War Department, through whom the spies
ascertained the plans Of our energetic com
mander, and furnished the information to the
Confederates. We have since ascertained, from
another and reliable source, full corrobora-
ton of the fact that General Mcclellan had the
rebels, numbering ten, instead of six thousand, in
his grasp, and the very night that he had decided
to carry his plan into execution rocket was
sent up from Washington, as a signal to the
rebel officers, whcreupon the Confederates beat
a hasty retreat. We also learn that the leak
took place in some Of the military bureaus, and
not with the Secretary of War; and thus the

The CowARDLY BEARS OF WALL STREET.
The grizzly bear Of the Rocky Mountains is
formidable animal; his body is heavy, but his
limbs are enormous, and, with clean nose and
an intelligent eye, his lock is very amiable, ex-
cept when he is irritated. Then his appearance
is savage, and his strength is.truly prodigious.
But king grizzly is withal something of a
coward Bold to assail the retreating traveller,
it is said, to the disgrace of grizzly, that he
turns tail and runs at the very suspicion of hos
tile gunpowder.
And SO it is with the bears of Wall street.
They are very bold when the bulls show signs
of trepidation, and lame ducks are waddling
about in o state of helplessness; but get up
smell of British gunpowder among them,
and these fat, portly and formidable bears
stink off into their holes as fast as their legs can
carry them. For instance, they detected the
other day something like the smell of British
gunpowder in the circular of Mr. Seward, sug-
gesting to the State authorities concerned some
action on their part in behalf of the fertilization
of our seaboard and Northern frontiers, in
order to be ready for the possible contingency
of foreign war, in connection with our South
ern rebellion.
Our cowardly bears of Wall street at once
took the hint and such was their CONSERVATION
that they created stampede among the bulls.
Of course Mr. Seward had information of an
alliance, offensive and defensive, between Lord
Palmerston and JEFF. Davis, or be never would
have uttered such warlike circular, consider
ing the cool and cautious character of our
Secretary Of State But the simple truth is,
that Mr.. Seward, with the foresight of an ex-
perienced statesman, concluded that the time
had come for gentle warning to John Bull;
and hence this aforesaid circular. Lord Pal
merston will understand it, and will respect it
too; whereas anything like an exhibition of
fear Of England in this crisis would be sure to
render her quarrelsome, insolent, and perhaps
belligerent.
History here comes to the support of Mr.
Seward. When France, under her first expert
ment Of a modern republic, was in a state of
chaos and apparent helplessness, the other great
Powers Of Europe entered into an armed coali
ton to destroy that republic; but indignant
France, Notwithstanding her internal dissen-
sions rallied e., masse to meet her invaders, and
expelled them on every side. And so it will be
with any foreign Intermediates in our domestic
affairs at this crisis. They will be ignomini-
ously expelled; and Mr.. Stewards circular
thus construed by England, will be apt to bring
her to something like an honest neutrality.
Our contemporaries Of the Tribune, Times and
Erering Post, taking their cue from the cow
ardly bears of Wall street, have betrayed some
symptoms of fear and trembling; but this is mot
the time for milk and water policy with Eng
land Mr.. Seward has taken the right position,
and the country will sustain him in it.
