BY JOHN MAHIN.
The Desnoine. statesman.

Reader, excuse us, but we love TO commune
with its rebel editor once ina while. Billy
Merritt has a severe attack Of Mcclellan on
the BRAIN" Because few days since we had
the temerity to say that our idle Major Gen
erals should be SET at work CT draw no pay,
the virtucus Merritt grows indignant. He
charges US with ignoring the greatest and
best of American Generals, Geo. B. Mcclellan,
and with being utterly oblivious of his exist
ence" We SHOULD have become oblivious OF
the existence of that prince of humbugs had
it not been for his letter to Judge would be-
Governor of Pennsylvania. 1t was then we
remembered that G. B. Mcclellan, the "don't
hurt-us General" still lived. But, then, we
remember also that, while he is dead to all
intents and purposes, his memory lives in the
hearts Of Billy Merritt, Ed. Thayer, Fernsndy
Wood and his " dear friends in Mackerel-
vile, Five Points, and Misery's Lane. We
have not forgotten that last Spring sundry
and divers Democrats were hi ghly exultant
over their victory over our municipal election
in this city, and that night was made hideous
with their cheers "for Jeff. Davis and Geo.
B. Mcclellan" When the Democracy of New
York city rose in their majestic strength and
grandeur and defied the authority Of the land,
applied the torch to private dwellings, orphan
asylums and public buildings, murdered
peaceable, law w-abiding citizens. guilty Of no
crime, then we remember that mobs rent the
air with groans for the President and "cheers
for JEFF. Davis and Geo. B. Mcclellan" We
cannot forget that every Northern rebel has
been and is still the warm admlrer Of Nc
Cleilan Then why should we class him with
Fremont, Curtis, Rosecrans, Heintzs Imam and
their noble compeers whose highest aim and
most profound study was chow to do it"-
They fought not to display Napoleonic STRAIT
eey. but to hurt rebels and crush rebellion.
To name Mcclellan in the same paragraph
with fighting heroes whom rebels fear, is to
insult the memory of the brave dead who fell
while following their lead. We should just
as soon think of classing Billy Merritt Of hol-
low square notoriety with Rosecrans, or Cur
tis, or Fremont, as G. B. Mcclellan.
We are satisfied with the removal of G. B.
Nc. bee .use such rebels as you, Mr.. Merritt,
and your Mackerelville friends, are dissatis-
fed, if for no other reason.

President Lincoln.

In the course of thrilling and eloquent
speech at Cooper Institute, New York city,
Hon. Schuyler Colfax made the following al
lusion to our noble President 1t will elicit a
cordial response from every truly patriotic
heart:
He rejoiced we had such President as
we have loud cheers las Abraham Lincoln.
The Roman Empire voted thanks to varro,
because in its darkest hour he had never de-
SPARED of the Republic. And future genera
tons will record their thanks to Abraham
Lincoln, who, in the dark days Of the Repub-
lie, q year ago, when we had days without
sunshine, and nights without star, quailed
not and did rot despair Of the Republic
[Cheers, If there is an honest.hearted man
who lives in the country, that man is Abra-
ham Lincoln. Renewed cheering.] And

tration, yet without regard to what Generals
they put up or down, am for the President

THE v1Np1cAr1oN OF MAJ. GEN. CURTIS.

THE VINDICATION OF MAJ. GEN. CURTIS.
The following appeared among the special
dispatches from this city in the New York
Tribune of Saturday: --. ..-...-....
ut is known that the findings of the Court
of Inquiry, of which General Mcdowell was
President, which had for its object the inves
tigation Of charges of specializing in cotton
by Union officers in the Valley Of the Nissis-
sippi, implicated Maj. Gen. Curtis in four
fraudulent transactions. The friends of that
officer have lately induced the President and
Judge Advocate Gen. Holt, to make special
and thorough investigation of the case thus
presented against Gen. Curtis, in connection
with his explanation. The result is his COM
plete yindication. His friends, who know the
disposition of the President toward him, be-
lieve that he will be speedily assigned to .
command" ag
I greatly doubt whether anything more dis
graceful to the service has taken place during
the war than the "cotton commission" as the
court of inquiry in this case has been called,
in its action toward Gen. Curtis. In the first
place, the court was convened by Halleck
without authority of law. He convened it,
and not the President, by whose authority
alone, according to the articles Of war, such
. court can be convened. Then he placed at
the head of it Mcdowell, notoriously disliked
by the Iowa delegation in Congress, and
western people generally. With him was
associated Philip St. George Cooke, father-in-
law of the rebel Gen. Stuart, and the most
hated man BY the public in the army, save
always Halleck himself. The court was not
only illegally convoked and badly constituted
as to it's members, but it had accorded to it
most extraordinary powers. Halleck had no
authority to call court Of inquiry to find as
to the conduct Of a corporal, unless that cor
poral had demanded it but he ordered this
court to inquire what officers had in any man.

GooD News FOR Iowa, IF TRUs. The N. 7.
Herald Washington correspondence Of Nov.
25th says: So, ee,r.1a. ett .l3eoTg
It is understood that the President, in COM
pliance with the terms of the law Of the last
Congress, decided that the Northern Pacific
Railroad shall start from point on the Mis-
souri, river nearly opposite Council Bluffs. in
connection with the Mississippi and Missouri
and the Rock Island roads. 9 ta sTs-t's (
Il will be fortunate for 10 "a if this is true.
But in view of the fact that influential men
connected with the Hannibal and ST. Joseph
Railroad have been making strenuous efforts
to secure the location Of the Pacific Railroad
on that route, we have some doubts as to the
truth Of the Herold's statement. Its correct
ness will be known in few days, however.
