Presidency SEEkERs.--The San Francisco
Evening Journal gravely and truthfuly asserts
that " the great curse of the county is PresGen-
cy Seekers" On good authority that paper
makes the following statements in reference to
the mania at present:
Stanton, Blair, Wade and Wilson, among the
civilians wish TO be President of the Generals,
Hunter. Mcclellan, Banks, Fremont, Butler and
Mcdowell are thought to be- fishing for the po-
sition. OF course, the civilians do all they can
TO embarrass the Generals so AS to destroy their
chances OF popularity. Thus Wade and his in
fernal satellites are doing all they can in aud
ont of Congress, to harass the Generals in the
field and bring them into disgrace. Mcclellan
had planned TO capture the rebel army at York.
| town, and to that end had ordered General Nc
| Dowelfs column 10 ascend the Rappabannock k
and strike across the head of the Yorktown Den-
nsula, 30 as to cut off the retreat of the rebe Is
| from Yorktown. Without consultation with Me
Clellan this order was changed by the Secretary
of War, Stanton, and Mcdowell sent to operate
where he could do no good This was evidently
done to prevent Mcclellan from gaining brill
liant success which would make him the most
popular man before the people. The same ras
cally policy caused the withdrawal of Il portion
Of Gen. Banks forces, for fear that he might win
military renown. The like Internal spirit also
sent Mcdowell to founder in the mud holes of de.
serted Manassas where he could neither win re
nown nor do good to his country That Dupont
and those operating with him in South Carolina
and Georgia might not win too much popular
renown by success, they have not been furnished
with sufficient forces to carry on their opera
tions, aud besides bands OF Gideonite" mission.

PARODY on LIFE on THE OCEAN WAVE"
A life in the pine tree grove,
home in the gulches deep,
Where the grizzly and wolf doth rove,
And the miner his nuggets reap.
