Anecdotc OF wellington.

Alitle work entitled "Good Things
for Railway Readers, Just published
in Loudon, contains, among q thous-
and other anecdotes, the following in
reference to the Duke Of Wellington:
Carew, the sculptor, told Hayden
the following story Of the Duke OF
Wellington: The Duke was at the
Marchioness Of Devonshire 8, and the
ladies plagued him for some OF his
stories. For some time he declared
all his stories werein print. Atlast he
said, "WeII, III tell you one that
has not been printed. In the mid
die of the battle of Waterloo he saw
a man in plain clothes, riding about
on a cob in the thickest FIRE. During
temporary lull the Duke beckoned
him, and he rode over. He asked
him, who he was and what business
he had there. He was an English
man, accidentally at Brussels; that
he had never seen fight and wanted
to see one. The Duke told him he
was in imminent danger Of his life;
he said, "Not more than your Grace,
and they parted. But every, now and
then the Duke saw the cobman rid
ing about 10 the smoke, and at last
having nobody to send to regiment
he again beckoned to this fellow and
told him to 60 up to that regiment
and order them to charge-giving
him some mark of authority which
the Colonel would recognize.
Away he galloped, and in is"
minutes the Duke saw his order obey
ed. The Duke asked him for bis
card, and found in the evening, when
the card fell ont of his sash, that he
lived at Birmingham, and was but
ton maker! When at Birmingham.
the Duke inquired of the firm, and
found he was their traveller, and then
in Ireland. When he returned, at
the Dukes request, he called on him
in London. The Duke was happy
to see him, and said haid he had q
vacancy in the Mint at fS00 . year,
where accoun tants we're wanted. The
little cobman said it would be exactly
the thing, and the Duke installed
him, much to his Grace's honor. "

General McClellan's Letter Relating to
Pennsylvania Politics.
ORANGE, n. y, October IL, 1868


To Hon. Chas. j. Biddle, Chairman
Democratic State Central Committee:
DEAR SIR-My attention has been
called to an article in the Philadel-
phia Press, asserting that / had writ
ten to the managers of the Democratic
meeting at Allentown, disappearing
the objects of the meeting, and if |
voted or spoke it would be in favor
of Governor Curtin, and | am inform-
ed that similar assertions have been
made throughout the State. 1t has
been my earnest endeavor heretofore,
to evade any participation in party
or politics. | had determined to
adhere to this course, but it is obvious
that I can not longer remain in silence
under such misapprehensons. |
therefore request you to deny that |
have written any such letter or
maintained any such views as those
attributed to me in the Philadelp phia
Press. l desire to state that having
some days ago bad a full conversation
with Judge Woodward. | 6ud that
our views agreed. Iregard his elec-
ton as Governor Of Pennsylvania as
called for by the interests of the ma
ton. l understand Judge Wood
ward to be in favor of the prosecution
of the war with all the means at the
command Of the loyal States until
the military power Of the rebellion is
destroyed. | understand him to be of
the opinion that while the war is
carried on with all possible decision
and energy that the policy directing
it should be in accordance with the
principles Of humanity and the Chris
tian world not injurin!g private Rva 81 Fights gt
tary necessity, and recommended BY
military law among civilized nations.
And, finally, understand him to
agree with me in the opinion that
the sole great objects Of this war arc
the restoration of the unity Of the
nation, the preservation Of the Con-
stitutiou, and the supremacy OF tho
laws of the country. Believing that
our opinions entirely agree upon these
points, | would, were it in my power
give to Judge Woodward my voice
and vote.
am, very respectfully yours,
GEO. B. MCCLELLAN.

INTERESTING INCIDENT.

A few days ago stranger applied
to the house of lady in this city for
boarding for day or two. He repre-
sented himself as a soldier, having
served in the Army Of the Potomac
from its first organization to the pres
ent time. The lady was ratherdubIous
as to the character ofthe man, and de-
clined to entertain him. The soldier
thought itrather hard tha: alter doing
all he could for the country he could
not be entertained when chad plenty
Of money to pay his way. He was
about to depart; he represented that
he had been in eleven battles, and
made every effort to impress the lady
of his efficiency as a soldier and his
wortbiness as a man. The lady be-
gan to question him as to his antece-
dents, and found that he came from
the place of her former residence.
But still she did not recognize him.
Atiast he made himself known as her
brother, whom she had not seen for
thirty-seven years. What followed
may better be ina giaed than describ-
ed. 1t was happy meeting, and
the poor soldier found quarters for

LAUGHING GAs.-Mr. Collins, as will be seen
by his advertisement, is to give another of his
exceedingly popular and laughable exhibitions
on Thursday Eve, when he announces that Six
Ladies are to inhae the Gas, in addition to the
usual number of gentlemen subjects. The ladies
are said to frequently make quite eloquent, al
though necessarily brief speeches, under the
spell Of the Nitrous oxide. At an exhibition
in Boston some time since, a lady made patri-
otto speech which brought down the house, and
the Boston Journal spoke of it the next morning
as follows; " At the exhibition last evening,
one of the ladies', while under the influence OF
the Laughing Gas, made most powerful and ell
Oquent appeal to the citizens of Boston to make
up their quota of troops for the Government. 1t
seemed to come from the heart and it touched
the hearts of all present, producing profound
sensation. We have had nothing on the Com
mon surprising it in fervid elOquence.
