THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1861.


TIE PIC>IC.--The rain yesterday again destroyed
the military picnic at the City Park-that is,
destroyed the attendance-fOr the ladies, with a
spirit Of defiance to the adverse elements worthy
the imitation Of the sterncr SEX many of whom
tinker at the rain, stood. their ground bravely and
staid there all day, with hardly anybody to visit
them.
We were out there during nearly all the rain ;
and though the ladies and their festive prcpara-
tions were sheltered from the rain by tents and
awnings the live-oaks were drippy enough and
the ground sloppy enough to render it all a rather
damp sort Of an arrangement. Though the first
two days of the picnic have been dashed by the
rain, and entacd dead loss upon the patriotic
ladies who projected the picnic, they are deter
mined to stick 10 their camp to-day, the Glorious
Fourth, rain Or no rain.
Yesterday, there was food and reireshment of
the best, and other adjuncts of picnic pleasure
for at least 5000 people, and there will be the
same to-day, rain or no rain Talk OF .jax defy
ing the lightning You should see how the noble
souled ladies Of New Orleans can defy the rain!
Should tho rain unfortunately continue to-day, it
will become the duty Of this public to get Hp some
proper testimonial in the way Of thanks or other
compliment, to the ladies who, only laboring for
the benefit OF Southern soldiers, announced pic
mic at the Oaks, and who during two dreary days
have not been disheartened by absence Of patron
| age, Or driven away by the rain.
OF all the noble and heartmoving things that
the ladies of New Orleans have vet undertaken in
| behalf Of the Southern cause, this picnic at the
| Park takes the lead The weather has been
treacherou8 and mean to the last degree but there
has not been an inch of finch among the ladies at
the Oaks, nor will there be until they shall have
| fulfilled the last letter of their promise to the
pubc-to hold three days picnic, ending on the
Fourth of July.
THE MILITARY FAIR.-The fair at the DeSoto

The fair will be open all day to-day and at night
and tomorrow night. Let everybody 60 that can.

TO THE PUBLIC.

!, With the present issue, the undersigned
resumes the publication of the PORTAGE SEN
TINEL, which he suspended three months
+ ago. and having received quantity of new
material he, will endeavor, by strict attention
to his duties, to publish such paper as will
secure to him the good wishes and patronage
of the people of Portage county.
The course of the paper, in its general
features, will remain unchanged. 1t will, as
heretofore, always be found fighting for the
integrity of the Union, the maintenance of
the Constitution, and the rigid enforcement of
the laws; and will strenuous'y oppose the
doctrines Of extremists, whenever and wher-
ever they may be uttered, with an unsparing
hand. 1t will support the Government at all
times, no matter who administers it, and will
give to the present National Administration
its hearty support in such Constitutional
measures as may be proposed or adopted to
quell the rebellion now existing in the South
ern States. JAMES W. SoMERvILLE

Partizan Impertin cnce.

We see it stated that member Of Congress
the other day, in Washington, on being intro
duced to Gen. Mcclellan, after being politely
invited by that officer to remain and witness a
military review, replied very pompously, "Sir,
came here to see work and not child's play"
Although this bit of partizan impertinence
did not stop the review, still it exemplifes
the opinion which these dignitaries entertain
OF ofthemselves This pompous person went to
Washington for the purpose of seeing an en-
gagement, and he had no idea of being satisfied
with amere military parade. He isone of the
sort of men who insisted upon the advance on
Manassas, and who are now endeavoring to
dragon the Administration into another en-
gagement in the same direction Is there no
way of relieving our officers of the torments
of these pompous apes and popinjays-per-
sons like Senators Wilson and Trumble, who,
had it not been for 'those vile guns" would
themselves have Joined the army?
These important personages are so lost in
the contemplation of their own magnifcence,
that they have no time to consider what fools
they make of themselves. The idea of

spending the summer and fall in trading hors-
es or rafting lumber, or engaged in dodging
about for contract for the army, running
down to Washington to instruct Gen. McClel.
land and the Administration in a matter to
which they have been devoting their entire
attention, shows that discipline in the army is
not yet stringent enough. Every one of these
swelling persons should be arrested and our
Administration and officers relieved of their
impertinent interference.

Rebel Presidential Election.

On Thursday last the election for President
and Vice President and also for members of
Congress took place in the rebel States. We
believe there are no candidates for the two
first Offices save the present ncumbents, Da-
Wis and Stephens. The electors will meet on
the first Wednesday of December in Rich
mond, and there go through the ceremony of
counting the vote cast by the several States.
The Presidential Inauguration is fixed for the
22d of February, the birthday of Washing
ton. The constitution of the 'Confederacy''
provides that the President shall be elected
for,six years; but, inasmuch as Davis is in
the field at the head of his army, we may
conclude that he will, ere six years roll round,
be firmly fixed as permanent head of mill
tary despotism, provided he lives, and our
Government fails to crush him.
We suspect. that president Davis" reign
will be of short duration. General Mcclellan
does not think that the war is likely to last
very long, and having given expression to
that impression, we conclude that he has
measured the means by which he intends to
bring it to speedy and successful termination.
In that event President Davis and his rebel
government will be speedily scattered; him
self, a dethroned usurper will be refugee
from justice, roaming about for somewhere to
lay his head in safety, as the humbled Hot
spur, who, to save his neck, becomes peni-
tent sinner-lays down his arms and sues for
mercy. Should such a condition of things
cpne around, what dcplorable being Davis
would become! The baffled traitor, like
Aaron Burr, would become burden to him
sell, and, like him, drag out lingering exist
ence, until remorse had done its work and
prepared him for the grave.

Gen. McCleIIan,s War Policy,

n At recent dinner given by General Nc
Clellan, he is said to have remarked to guest.
that there was no power on earth, neither that
of the press or politicians, that should cause
him to swerve hairs breadth from the poll
cy which he had adopted in relation to the
present war. Awaiting himself of all he mil
tary wisdom that is in the possession of the
officers around him, together with his own
mature experience, he has, to the best of his
own ability, adopted a plan of warfare to which
he intends to adhere most rigidly. Knowing
as he does, that the fate of the nation is in his
hands, and that single blunder might forever
estrange him from the support and confidence
OF the people, he has resolved to propose and
dispose of all the military power row at his
command, and to venture blow only at the
time when in his own mind he is convinced
that the exigencies of the occasion demand
that it should be struck.
