GENERAL MCCLELLAN AS 4 CHRIsTIAN.-Maior
General George b. Mcclellan, who now stands
next in rank to General Scott, is native Of Con-
necticut, son of the late DR.. George Mcclellan,
Of Wood stock. The following incident will be
read with great satisfaction by all who believe
in the cxistance of Supreme Being, controlling
human events: "Rev DR.. Thompson, Second
Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati, was recently
seated in his study, when strange gentleman
requested an interview, which was granted. He
came TO discuss the affairs of the country, ex-
pressing his anxiety about its condition, and at
length requested the doctor to pray for the re-
public and for him. The doctor Of course oom-
piled, and after further conversation on this
theme, the gentleman requested the minister to
pray ,eith him. They knelt upon the tloor, and
the visitor, in a deyout and eloquent petition,
invoking the aid and protection OF the Almighty
10 the struggle in which the republic is involved
Major General George B. Mcclellan, of Ohio,
was DR.. Thompson's visitor"

Of self defence which are conceded as matter
Of course to bad one. The general common
Cover ment Of the United States was created for
this purpose--to maintain md defend the Union.
The notion that minority Of the nation is TO he
allowed to secede when it cannot have its way,
Though its rights have been respected, is de
structive Of every principle of government, and
has never been recognized by any statesman
The States that now pretend right to 60 out OF

claim tn ndepsi dent existence, in order to share
the snYrreignly of their own territories and of

of whiskey and ninety drops OF hartshorn, and
thought the load was sufficient. The man was

quite coolly. 1t was a great satisfaction to him
to know that another man had killed the snake,
