. An Attack ON the President.

The Advertiser has for some little time been
exceedingly afraid that somebody would find
fault with our President, and like the pugna-
cius individual who desired some one to "step
on the tail of his coat it has been "spoling for
fight" But yesterday morning it changed
its tune, and pitches into the Chief Magistrate
as follows:
The armies in and around the capital are
again all under the command of Gen. McClel-
Ian, and we hope and believe that the best re-
suits will Immediately follow. In union there
Is strength. The division of the army, and
placing it under different and incompetent Off
GERS, was the mistake of the war. Had Nc
Clellan's plans not been interIered with, we
have no doubt he would have been in Rich
mond in season to celebrate the 4th of July.
The President having distinctly declared
himself responsible for the measures adopted
by his administration, an attack upon that ad-
minlstration is an attack upon the President.
If the mistake was made as alleged by the
Advertiser, the mistake was made by the Pres
ident, and admitting its truth, which we do
not, il is in bad taste to take this time to find
fault If mcclellan plans" have been inter
fered with, the President is solely responsible,
and this coarse, unmanly, backhanded thrust
at his capabiity and integrity by the Adverti-
ser, was hardly to have been expected after its
loud professions, but is fair specimen of the
splendid summersaults" it frequently turns.

When the next centennial, or 255th celebra-
ton takes place in 1862, we rather think we
shall not be there.
Certainly not, unless the purveyor and COM
missary-general, Mr.. N. j. Davis, be put un-
der bonds not to serve up the remains of the
feast, nor the clans left over at this celebra-
ton.
And we rather think that very few of his
old customers will like to be there-the Hon
Mr.. MCGEE, Ex-Governor Washburn, or Jared
Sparks, ID. d. LII. d., &c, &c, for example
unless favored with bad cold, or no smelers
The simple fact is that some two thousand
of us, not ''sir thousand" were feasted on gar
bage and carrion at 81 1-2 cents a head.
In the first place, the great multitude were
kept Gagged up in the hot sunshine, till most of
them were bowling for hunger, and then turn
ed loose, all at once, like lamished wolves, head
long, upon a table covered with crockery-ware !;
at which, after pulling and hauling, and sput-
tering and swearing, and stopping and splitting,
by platoons, for good half hour, they were
treated with pint, or half pint 1.-THE less the
betterl, of what passed for fish-chowder-not
so bad after all, though the potatoes were not
half boiled; or with ctdm-chouder, which not
withstanding the superabundance of high sea-
soning, was absolutely offensive; so that
when bowl was offered you-near enough to
catch Whit, you would step back in a hurry
and look about you to see if you had not trod-
den on something, or pass the carrion to a by
stander-with bow. You have no idea how
exceedingly courteous the starving multitude
were, one half running about all the time with
two bowls in their hands, trying to find a Gus
tomer-with the snuflles and all this. after we.
or most Of us, had been without Il mouthful
from early morning to near nightfall-steam-
ing and sweltcrng, and half sufIocated-on
board of Il vessel reeking with denominations,
or slowed away in bulk aboard mudscow; or
standing out unsheltered in the hot sunshine,
far away from the speakers, and almost out of
carshot from the cannon. .4.
Yet for "a bowl of this loa,hsome food and one
biscuit, or cracker, the great multitude were
obliged to pay 81 IL cents IA head-about seven
hundred and fifty dollars, therefore, ifonly 1000
were admitted to the privilege-before they
were allowed to 90 in out of the SUM- And
then, after this, we came near having to pay
so cents apiece for another privilege-that of
going aboard the scow and there waiting, cross
piled, for chance to Bath. Hurrah for the
"Great Success" therefore! and hurrah for
the monagers--and above all, three cheers
and tiger, for the guests who were kept away
by the providence of God

War Meeting in Windham.

The citizens of Windham, held a spirited
war meeting on Thursday afternoon, in their
Town Hall. The people turned out in large
numbers,-men and women, and filled the
Hall. The leading men of the town were pres
ent, and showed by their interest.and zeal that
their love for their country has suffered no
abatement in these trying times.
The meeting was addressed by Messrs.
George F. Emery, Benz. Kingsbury and Charles
Holden, Esqs., of this city, and DIR. Parsons of
Windham. The speeches were patriotic and
effective, and were received with much favor.
The afternoon was occupied in this good work
The Windham Band was in attendance and
much helped the good feeling by its strains of
martial music.
Windham has done well in turning out its
soldiers. The first quota is full, and but six
teen were wanted for the second-which the
fathers of the town had no doubt would be
readily obtained before this week is out. There
viii be no need of a draft among the patriotic
sons OF old Windham.

NAVAL. REcRUTs.-We stated yesterday
that persons who shipp in the navy are now
reckoned as part of the quota of the towns
where they belong. But in order that men
enlisting in the navy should be SO allowed, it
is necessary to get an order from the Adju-
tant General of the State. When the men
have passed the examination of the surgeon,
and have been received on board the ship, the
receiving officer at this place will give GER
tifcate to that effect, and upon its being pre-
scented at the Adjutant Generals office, towns
will be credited with the men so enlisted.
The recruiting service for the navy is going
on well at the office No. s. Commercial street.
About 100 men enlisted in the month of Au-
gust. Seventeen have enlisted since the LIST of
September, and men are presenting themselves
daily.

NARROW EscAPE.-Lieut. Thomas j. Lit
tie of the 18th Massachusetts regiment, son of
VIM. ID. Little, Esq, of this city, received
three distinct wounds in the late battle near
Bull Run. The first was gunshot wound in
the leg, about four inches above the ankle,
which badly bruised the bone, without break
ing it. The second was shot wound in the
right hand, below the small finger. At first it
was thought it would have to be amputated,
but the surgeon saved it. The third wound
was from mimic ball, which broke the lower
jaw and took out one tooth. This is the worst
wound, and it will take some time for it to
heal.
Mr.. Mcclellan, LIST Assistant Post Master
General, at whose residence in Washington
Lieut.. Little is, writes that he is getting along
comfortably. He is fed with spoon and is
not allowed to talk. 1t is thought he may be
able to return home in ten days.

No Public Caucus.

The Republican City Committee, taking
into view the existing state OF public affairs,
concluded TO omit the usual caucus which has
heretofore been held on the Saturday evening
proceeding our annual State election. They
also decided that the nominations of cand-
dates for Representatives should be announc-
ed in the papers Of Saturday, which has not
been usual heretofore.
1t was supposed that the Democratic party
would not call public caucus if the Repubi-
cans did not. But we learn that as soon as
they found out that no Republican caucus was
to be held, they engaged the City Hall for
Saturday evening, and intend holding meet
ing, where, under the guise Of Friendship for
the Union" they viii endeavor to make some
proselytcs to the Bradbury ticket. The thing
wont work.

telegraph to the Merchants Reading Room, to
the effect that Mr. Stanton had resigned, and
had been succeeded by Gen. Halleck, and also
that Gen. Mcclellan had been appointed Com
mander-in-Chief of the armies of the United
States. Up to the hour of writing (last even
ingl, we had received no confirmation of the
report, and until it is certain, we forbear COM
ment. 1t may be that our regular dispatches
may confirm the report, but We are inclined to
doubt the truth of the report so far as Mr..
Stanton is concerned.
