history of the peninsular campaign. and carries
with 1t conviction OF the truth OF the author :
conclusions We are inclined TO think the Pa
risians in error as to the authorship oil the ar
ticle. 1t Is clearly the work OF more prac
ticed writer than the Prince de Joinville, and
was more likely written by the Duke d'Au-
male, the most capable author Of the Orleans
family, or, more probably still, the article was
edited from the notes Of the Prince dc Joinville
by that master hand, Theirs 1t bears the i'm
print of his genius in every line, and possesses,
above all, that wonderful clearness of detail
and distinct outline 30 peculiar to the great
historian. He is, as is we'll known, staunch
adherent Of the Orleans family, and OF no one
sooner than himself were the princes likely to
demand the editing of the notes taken here by
De Joinville.
The article in question explains the conduct
of General Mcclellan during the whole of the
peninsular campaign, and will please his friends
and clear away the ill-adyissd prejudices Of his
enemies. The Prince de Joinvlie is person
eminently capable Of judging the matters
treated in that article, and none will accuse the
high toned gentleman Of undue favoritism
Coming at such period in General McClellan's
career, the article we refer to will do more to
raise him in the estimation Of the public than
the most elaborate defence he could have made
himself The article will become history, and
as matter of deep Importance to all we re-
commend it to the public.

GEN. MoCLELLANs PosITIoN.-The au-
thentic assurance that everything was going
well with Gen. Mcclellan and his army up
to the latest dates, and that he was in com
munication with the fleet on James River, is
satisfactory enough to outweigh all uncertain
ties The General has accomplished grand
strategic feat under the very fire of the enc
my. Instead OF having his lines attenuated
to protect twenty miles on the right, he has
divided the rebels into two sections, far apart,
each of which he can attack with his concen-
trated force, aided by the gun boats With
his numbers and the situation of the ground,
he has done all that can be done, 1t only re-
mains for the valor of our troops to consum~
ate the great objects aimed at-and who can

ORDER RESTORED IN NEW OR
LEANS

Two days later news from New Or
leans brings us the gratifying intelligence
of the restoration of order and the growth
of the Union sentiment, under the ener-
getic rule of Gen. Butler. The markets
are again fully supplied, starvation no
longer threatens the people, our soldiers
are subjected to excellent discipline, the
city is healthy and the residents, foreign
and native, begin to see that order and
quiet follow the successes of our arms.
A significate indication of the desolate
condition of New Orleans, under rebel
domination, is given il the Picayune. 1t
is unwittingly acknowledged by the Plea
yune that the services of the gangs of la
borers who have been set at work in the
streets are productive of one good result !;
they have cleared away the grass that
was growing in the streets, and restored
the health of the city by the removal OF
accumulated rubbish.
This simple statement of the Picayune
shows how utterly dead business had be-
come before Butler took possession
The rebel prophecy that grass would
soon be growing in the streets of New
York failed of fulflment here, while il
proved perfectly true of the foremost port
in the South.
We also learn that the avidily with
which rebel officers and solliers have
crowded to the office of the military COM
mandant to take the oath of allegiance, il
order to qualify themselves for return tt
their homes, has obliged Gen. Shepley tc
extend the time for their reception.
These are gratifying symptoms of re
turning sense and order Gen. Butler's
perfectly impartial administration of jus
tice since is arrival in New Orleans, hi
firm government and evident desire to re
establish the business and social relation
of the people upon a secure basis, and thu
good conduct OF our soldiers, combine Il
produce a salutary effect, and must con
vince the people OF the city that the fede
raj rule is wise and -benefcent.

REBEL DEsERTERs.-The corresp6n-
dent of the New York Herald writing be-
fore Richmond says the number of deser-
tons from the rebel army amounts to a
regiment per week. He adds -
"a large proportion consists of Louis
ianiaDS, who believe that by entering our
lines and taking the oath of allegiance
they may return to New Orleans and en-
JOY Federal protection. North Carolinians
desert in great numbers. tn troops
from this State are the butt of rebel ma
leyolence and satire, as they are reported
to be very poor soldiers, scarcely a skir-
mish ensuing whereat they are not routed.
This State has lost more troops than any
other in the confederacy except Virginia
The feweSt deSerters are from Mississippi
and Texas, as the troops from those two
States are generally bona tide Southerners
who have no hope Of friendship Or sympa-
thy from the North, and would be at a
loss to look anywhere for protection out of
their own States"

The Democratic Convention held in this
place to-day was attended by about one hun
bred and fifty persons, not one'hali of whom
were delegates, B. IL. Smalley of Swanton,
was chosen President.
The Convention nominated
For Governor B. II. SMALLEY, of

For Lieut.. Governor e. A. CHAPLIN, of

For Treasurer - GEO, WAsHBURN, of
Springfield. ...
A resolution of the Vallandigbam stripe
was adopted,
Hon. H. f. SroUGHToN, in an eloquent

1t is understood that St oughton repudiates
the action of the Convention. We believe
he does. He has two sons in this war. They
are fighting for the Union and for the adj
mlnistraion. So is Stoughton. We shall
believe it at any rate, until we are advised
to the contrary over his own signature
Thus ends all hope of secession sympathy in

Davis sent a dispatch to the Mississippi

General Mcclellan remarked tonight to
the bearer of dispatches that we were every
where victorious, but the great battle had
Just begun, and he would not make report
until the job was done.
The above IS from dispatch dated July
LIST. We repose upon it in confidence that
our army will be victorious in the Sanguinary
contest. Our readers will also see in our
Geographic columns, that it was reported in
Memphis from Rebel sources, that Richmond
had been taken. OF course this report needs
confirmation.
