MCCLELLAN.

The Louisville Journal (Prentice,s paper)
has the following on the subject of McClellan's
recent reinstatement in the command of our
forces:
-" The appointment of General Mcclellan to
the command of the army of Virginia is, un-
der all the circumstances, glorious vindica;
tion of the most gifted and accomplished
soldier. 1t needed not the acclamation of the
army, with the echoing plaudits of the nation,
to round off its glory yet these it has.
"Now that, in spite of the calumny of
zealots and of the railing of madcaps and char
latans, the first soldier of the country, if not
the first soldier in the world, is once more at
the head of the army, the nation may well
breathe freer. The change is not only guar
antee of safety, but presage of victory. In
the mingled joy and peril of the hour we will
not stop to inquire why General Mcclellan
ever ceased for moment to be at the head
of our forces in Virginia, or how many of our
mischances in that field have arisen from his
retirement; 1T is enough for the present to
know that he is again in the station which
belongs to him by the sovereign claims of
genius and Of character, and that he re.

The New York Worlt, strong Republi
can paper, has the following remarks in re-
cent issue:
President Lincoln and his chosen advs-
ers must be less tenderly dealt with. They
must be held more sternly to their RESPONSE
bilites. They must be made to feel some
thing of the dreadful earnestness which sur
charges the heart of the people. They must
learn to respect the right of the people, and
to treat the people as their masters, and not
as their servants. They must tolerate free
dom of loyal speech, and renounce all idea of
intimidating the loyal press.
We have shut our eyes to much that, in
our sober judgment, was worthy of blame
believing that almost any evil was less inju-
rious than distrust, and hoping that time
would amend all errors. Time did not amend
them. 1t aggravated them. When it at
last brought the arbitritary arrest of loyal
men, we could hold our peace no longer
Faithfulness to the cause forbade it. To our
mind, such violation Of law and justice was
contrary to every principle this war seeks to
vindicate. 1t was robblng loyal minds Of
their highest ideas, and loyal hearts of their
holiest supports. 1t was arming the rebels
with new arguments. 1t was providing for
eigners with new sneers. 1t tended to moth
ing but discouragement,d disgrace and ruin
We protested against it. We shall continue
to protest. We shall protest against all
things like it. From this time forth VIC shall
do our whole duty in respect to this Admin
stration. We shall criticise without reserve
approving and eondemmng, applauding and
denouncing, as freely as in the days of peace.
The conviction has been forced upon us that
so only can we fitly discharge our duty to
the country in its awful perils.
The people are now realizing the bitter
consequences of undue confidence in the man
agement of the administration. The aban-
donment of free criticism, which followed the
disaster at Bull Run, and the disposition to
trust everything to the discretion of the
President. have terminated in an accunula-
tion of disaster and disgrace, that appals and
sickens every heart. Magnificent armies
beaten, incompatible treasure wasted, and
two hundred thousand lives sacrificed, the
capital still beleaguered, the border States
lost, loyal States menaced by invasion-all
this, too, when the enemy started with an
almost absolute destitution of every war nec-
essary, and is still imperfectly equipped, rag
ged, and half furnished it is enough to drive
even calm men mad. Considering the avail
able means and the actual results, it is the
most disgraceful failure recorded against any
government in modern history. And this is
the requital Of the peoples confidence. This
is the fruit of deferential silence when Abra-
ham Lincoln choose to relieve his subordi-
mates by making haste to assume the respons-
ibllity. 1t is high time that this passiveness
was ended"

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BEFORE
THE ELECTION.

The following is the sixth of the series of
resolutions composing the platform of the Re-
publican party, as adopted at the Chicago
Convention, in 1860:
Resolved, That the People justly view with
alarm the reckless extravaganza which per-
yades every department of the Federtl Gov
ernment that return to rigid economy and
accountability is indispensable to arrest tho
systematic plunder of the Public Treasury by
favored partisans--while the recent startling
developments of frauds and corruptions at the
Federal Metropolis show that an entire change
of Administration is lmperatively demanded" !"
The following confession was made by the
Hon. Mr. Dawes, Republican member of
Congress from Massachusetts, on the 25th
of April, in which he exposed the corruptions
of Lincoln;s Administration -.
"The gentlemen must remember that in the
first year of a Republican Administration,
which came into power upon Professions of
Refore and Entrenchment, there is indubitabe
evidence abroad in the land that somebody
has plundered the public treasury we'll mig
In that single year as much as the entire cur

BALTIMORE, Sept. l5.-The American says
that General Franklin's corps, nearly 10000
strong, left Frederick on Saturday morning
at daylight, and marched towards Harper's
Ferry, to relieve Gen. Miles.
The firing heard on Saturday, in the direc
tion Of Harper's Ferry, ceased about P. ".
at which time Franklin is supposed to have
reached there. Gen. Mcclellan speaks Of
Franklin being on the his extreme left yester-
day, which indicates that his line extended
from Middletown to the Ferry. E..

DEAR EDITOR The North Branch Demo-
crat still continues to make US its weekly vis-
it. Not week has, past since we left our
homes, without having something fresh and
new from little Wyoming, by the way of this
worthy sheet. | cannot say whether the ed
itor is paid for his trouble, or not. But one
thing is certain, we can but ever feel graft
fed to him, for his punctuality. The editor
of the Republican, who processes to represent
the party to which many of US belong does
not seem to think us worthy of remembrance

The Division of Gen. Kearney, left Harri-
sons Landing, August 18th, 4 o'clock A. NJ,
taking the left hand road, by the way of New
Kent and Cumberland Landing, on the Pa
munkey river. This course was given us to
prevent the rebels making dash upon our
trains moving down James river road. We
passed through Williamsburg on the morn
ing of the 10Th, reaching York Town the
same night. Here we embarked on the
steamship, America, reaching Alexandria the
22d, taking the cars Immediately for Manas-
ses junction, reaching this place the same
night. Early next morning moved toward
Warrenton, reaching the outposts of our ar
my in time to hold a portion of our picket
line through the night. On the morning of
the 9th, we again took up our line of march
toward Manassas, having received intelll-
gence of the destruction of that place by the
rebel. This march was forced one, and the
weather excessively hot. Hundreds fell by the
road side, with exhaustion. We succeeded
in reaching the smoking ruins of Manassas, at
IL o'clock A. M next day. Here we found
the rail road bridge destroyed, long trains of
cars burned, engines precipitated down the
banks, and the town in ashes. We did not
halt long, having been notified that our sup
plies were entirely cut of, and that our haver-
sacks could not be repenshed with food, un-
til we succeeded in cutting our way out We
followed the trail of the rebel army toward
Centreville, coming up with the guard, about
O'Clock P. M. Here our Brig. General
Birney, came near being captured by the reb-
ell cavalry. One of them had the boldness to
grasp the bride reins of his horse. The Gen.
succeeded in loosing his grasp, by sending a
small chunk of lead through his heart, and
returned unhurt. Here we remained in line
of battle until after sunset. Occupying Gen.
treville heights, we had a splendid view of
the artillery fight already raging in the val
ley towards Bull Run. Early next morning
We moved rapidly toward the scene of action,
the old hattie field of Bull Run, and before
noon our Brigade, Consisting of the Sd and
