These gentleman are very "conserva-
tive. Sumner, they say, is a 'Radi-
cal, an "Abolitionist,' &c, and, taking
advantage of the absence of the volun-
teers, they thought it possible to defeat
him for election this winter. A call
for 'Peoples party was gotten up,
signed by about five thousand of these
conservatives. Their only platform was
conservatism, and the defeat of Gov.
Andrew and Charles Sumner. To this
end they nominated "conservative"
ticket. The Democratic party formed
q coalition with this faction, and the two
worked together in perfect harmony
Money was expended without limit, and
no such effort was ever made in the
State before, as was made to defeat the
Republicans. But the people could
neither be bought nor wheedled. Gov.
Andrew, and the whole State ticket, is
elected by more than twenty five thou
sand majority. Every member of Con
gress in the State is Republican. Both
branches af the Legislature are Repub-
lican, almost unanimously. They were
elected on the express issue Of the re
turn Of Mr.. Sumner to the Senate. He
will be returned, of course.
There is an important lesson to be
learned in the recent election In every
State where the Republicans nominated
Republican candidates and supported
them as such, they have been successful.
While in every State in which they
abandoned their organization, and ran
Union" ticket, they have been de-
feated.

Bg~ Well, TWO weeks have passed
since the removal of Gen Mcclellan and
the threatened mutiny in the army has
not taken place. We have no doubt the
President was actually made to believe
that there was danger of such mutinv,
in case he removed Mcclellan, and That
this belief has long paralyzed the arm
of the Administration and prolonged the
war. If Gen. Mcclellan is true patriot
he has been the most unfortunate OF all
men. Every shade of disaffection
and disloyalty in the country has cham
pioned his cause. Vallandigham, Cox,
and Ben. Wood, in Congress. were his
fierce supporters, while such papers as
the N. Y. Herald and Medarys Crisis,
boldly proclaimed that he did not in
tend to carry out the views Of the Admin
istration, and tina the Administration did
not dare to remove him. And whether
from natural affinity or for the hope of
making party capital, the Democratic
party espoused his cause and claimed
that he was their leader, was carrying
out their plans and purposes, and the
Administration was not strong enough
to remove him. That these men hoped
and believed that they had so far tam
pered with the cbicers of the army as to
make it dangerous to displace Mcclellan,
we have no doubt. And the insane fury
of their denunciation shows the extent
of their disappointment. Whatever may
have been the purpose or aim, or wish
of the West Point clique, the noble VOL
unteers were too true to their country
to be made the tools of any military
commander. They had too deep stake
in the country they volunteered to save,
to oe made the instruments in the hands
Of mad ambition to overthrow that coun-
try The mutiny, therefore, did not
occur. But, on the other hand, the pa
triotic arn,y hailed the change as the
promise Of speedy accomplish ment of
the work for which they enlisted.

Gen. Kearney's Letter on the
Battle of Williamsburg.

We have no disposition to pursue a
fallen commander with reviews of his
past course. but there are matters OF
history of the great events Of the war,
which have been concealed otfFof regard
for the public service, or which could
not be known SO long as the lato com
mander controlled afflirs, but which
can now be made public without detri
ment to the service, and which the peo-
pie have right to know. On this
ground We print in another column the
letter of the late Maj jor General Philip
Kearney to a personal friend soon after
the battle of Williamsburg, reviewing
the battle and the conduct Of Gen. Nc
Cleilan in it, and his gross injustice to
the men and officers who sustained the
fight. No one will question Gen. Kear-
neys capacity to judge of a military af-
fairs. He was a veteran Of the wars Of
three continents.
We could hardly omit the publication n
of a letter so important in the history
of this war, and so pertinent to the re-
cent change of commanders, without
subjccting ourselves to the charge of
suppressing information. But we may
say as to similar intelligence that an ex-
PLANTATION of the events of this war is
due the people, and is demanded by JUS
tice to the Government and to the com
munders " tto hnrr been rurrru rrti. ur
own past course in regard to the military
management is thing we do not care TO
fortify' Events have fully vinIicated it :,
and ii can take care of itself, and the
evidence which is being brought to
light will nuke criticisms which at the
time we're regarded as severe or i'm
politic by some of our readers, seem ex-
cessiye moderation, aud unfortunate re-
straint.
1t will be remembered that General
Mcclellan campaigns have been with
out official reports. If any were made
they have not seen the light. His tel
egraphic announcements have been the
only official reports the public has had
of his battles and retreats These were
entirely unreliable. This official sup
preston and Justification makes an ad-
ditional reason, if any were needed, for
history of these events now.-Clncin-

AAAhhiooN LILLE, W., NoV. lOJ lOOZ.
Editor 7elegrnph:-Permit me through
the columns of your well circulated pa
per, to make an appeal to the citizens of
our quiet village, and vicinity, in behalf
of our sick and wounded soldiers, aew
in our several hospitals.
The warm summer and the pleasant
autumn aae almost gone, and the cold
chilly winds Of the dreary winter are fast
approaching. Our POOR SOLDIERS
NEED HELP. Donations of almost any
value are called for, however small that
value may be, and whatever it may be, it
will answer to some necessity Of the
worthy patriots who have SO nobly aban
doned all their future plans and run the
risk of their lives, all for the sake of re-
spending to the call of our own native
country. knowing its demands to be
just and right, we earnestly beseech you,
and expect all, who are indeed, ''tue
friends to our counhy," by all you hold
dear either in the field or at home,
that you will make use of every possible
means to aid us in the accumulation Of
hospital necessities.
Many of you have husbands, brothers
or sons now in the field, and you know
not how soon they shall need what you
now prepare for them. Many wounded
soldiers, poor tcIlops, die for the want OF
the very articles you can most conve-
nlently spare. Our motto should be,
''ace aciU do aUhat ace can IN laJoriug for
the sick and aroundcd soldiers.' We
hope sincerely that there viii be dis
position manifested, on the part of those
at home, to do all they can for those
who have gone from their homes and
friends and who are now exposed to
misery, murder and woe, and furnishing
with cold, hunger, privation and toll
all for the preservation of ourown quiet
and happy homes.
In consideration ofthe horrors of war,
we can say in truth that it is enough to
call forth the sympathies Of the hardes t
heart, and while our brothers, noble boys,
are called to undergo those cruelties,
why not zee respect the calls of smaller
value. We are all called to do some
thing for our country. A few coppers
from some Of onr merchants, mevhan-
les or farmers will be very accepta ble
We must have money to purchase dry
goods, which, when We get Into our
hands, will soon be forwarded to hospital
uses when demanded; also new or second
hand towels, piIlow-cases, under shirts,
shirts, drawers. old pillows and old
calico dresses may be brought in, and
will indeed be serviceable to the sick and
wounded.
And now, in conclusion, may it be
the grand object of the citizens of NJ elgs
county to do all they can for the vari-
Gus Aid Societies of the same, and may
we remember that there are none but
what can and ought to do something for
our cause; and so cast in your dimes in
to the hat, thence to be conveyed to the
treasury-in behalf of the wounded
soldier.
Written 5y request of the 'Harrison-
vile Soliier's Aid Society,"
CAROLINE r CHASE, President.

Mr.. Editor:-Another heading for my

Of stirring news. But you don't expect

anything startling, for the Telegraph al
ways goes in advance of the mail-train.
There is only one thing that can come
to you before the telegram, and that is
ARMY PROPHECY. | have sometimes
thought that army correspondents make
higher pretensions to PROPHECY than
HISTORY. They nearly always see ''com-

and if the events never come. thew will

PLEASING INCIDENT.

We had pas sed Loops Creek on our
retreat from the valley-our "rear-
guard was then engaged with the en-

terry on the opposite bank of the river,
was making sad havoc in the ranks of
the rebels. Feeling very thirsty, ap-
piled to an old lady, who was standing
at the gate of neat little cottage, with
tears in her eyes, for drink of water:
"les, honey, you shall have it, - and at
ter giving me the water, sald-"when
