With this issue we enter upon the
fourth year of tho publication of the
Courier, and though its patronage Is not
such as to warrant the hopo that W e
shall become Suddenly wealthy in the
business, we have no complaints to
make. We shall continue to support
Democratic men and measures to the
best of our ability, believing that a re-
turn to the conservative policy of the
fathers" is the only means by which
the country can be saved The Mon
as it was, the Constitution as it ia, with
out all it or a proviso, is our motto, and
while we favor vigorous prosecution
of tho war against the rebels whose
devilish wickeduess and treachery is en-
dangerIng the best government ever in
stituted among men, we shall oppose
the slightest interference with the rights
or institutions of those of our southern
brethren whose unequivocal locality
and selfsacrifaing patriotism has beer
40 nobly displayed in their efforts to
sustain the government in its hour o
peril.
In local matters we shall do what we
can to remote the interests of Saginaw
Valley and our young city, and shall
give our especial attention to the col
lection and publication of such informa
ton statistical aud otherwise, as will
attract attention to our immense resour

anything but ridicule and contempt
Gen. Met lellan, amid great difficulties
and endorsements, has accomplished
what probably no other military leader
could have accomplished under like cir
cumstances, and at the proper time his.
tory will DO him full justice, and call a
blush Of shame upon the check Of every
grunting or snarling newspaper, politi-
clan or traitor, who from ignorance or
malice has attempted to cry him down.
His officers and soldiers love him, and
would do anything in the world for him.
This one fact is Of itself sufficient refu-
tation of all the accusations and criti-
cisms of those who for the sake Of killing
Off Mcclellan, would destroy the conf
dence of all the loyal people of the north
in the government, and even be willing
to see disaster overtake the gallant and
invihcible army on the James River.

Towns RAFT, reached Detroit in
safety, as will be seen by notice of its
arrival which We copy from tho Free
Press. The accident to the steamer
Csa4dias male it necessary to depend
entirely upon the tug Martin, and the
risk was much greater in consequence.
We believe il will soon come to DO con.
sidered fixed fact" that during the
summer months transporting lumber by
RATS is full as safe as by any other
means, aud certainly at present rates IT
is by far the cheapest mode.

is by no means gratifying. Rumors of
rebel rams, raids and guerrilla depre
dations are rife on every hand, and the
guerrilla movements are really becom

great excitement and alarm. There
are rumors also of important military
movements on the part of the rebels,
the invasion of the north, the blockad.

General Mcclellan.

A well known citizen OF Chicago--one
who has been known here as an out
spoken abolitionist for years-who has
been in the service of the government,
in Gen. McClellan's army ever since the
war commenced, and occupies position
where he cannot but know all about the
affairs of the army, is now at homo on a
few days furlough, and, in his converse
tons with our citizens, is giving them
many new ideas in reference to the com
manding General and his troops.
We should like to give the name Of
the gentleman here referred to, but his
peculiar position in the secret service rem
ders a mention Of his name improper.
However, our citizens generally know
who we mean, and have confidence in
what he says.
No man who has anything to do with
this war, he assures us has been more
scandalously wronged or subjected to
greater injustice than General Mcclellan,
whom he regards as a most able and eff
cient officer the politicians and the
newspapers have opened their batteries
VI iuhiiVc huu Neupci"'ioh upVh hhi
without the least cause, and have done
their utmost to cripple and destroy him,
and have partially succeeded in their
foul attempt.
Nc Clellan has been howled at be-
cause he would not permit escaped slaves
to come within his lines, while the fact is
as this gentleman assures us, that the
General has never said q word or lifted q
finger to prevent the slaves taking care
Of themselves, but, on the other hand,
has fed them when needed food, and has
employed and paid them whenever and
wherever they could be made servicable
TO the army. He has not throwt straw
in the way Of any slave since he has ts-
ken the field.
As regards the thousand aud one
other charges that General McClellan's
political enemies and military rivals have
drummed up against him, our informant
pronouncss them so utterly foolish ard
ignorsntly absurd aud ridiculous that
neither he, Gen. Mcclellan or any officer
or man in his army can treat them with
