NASAL PEovERBs.-The New York Post
having said recently that the French have no
less than nine proverbs relating to the nose.
for which in English We have but two equiv
alent expressions, viz e Follow your nose,n
and :. He cannot see beyond his nose.p A
correspondent, influenced BY an ardent adni-
ration of the English language, and jealous.
for its reputation as a tongue. justly proud of
its wealth in nasal proverbs, refutes this too
modest claim By citing the following IN
stances
/. Follow your. nose. 2. He cannot see
beyond his nose s. An inch is good deal
on a mans nose. 4 He would bite bis own
nose of 10 SPITE his face. S. He has nose
Of wax. 6. As plain as the nose on your

THE PaEsIDENT's TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF
GENERAL McCIELLAN.-We had occasion yes
terday to comment at some length on the Presi-
dents testimony in favor Of the merits of Gene
raj Grant, and his acknowledgment Of his own
error and the error Of the War Department in
reference to the campaign Of that gentleman
while it was still pending. In Mr. Lincoln's
letter which was read at the Syracuse Conven-
ton, he incidentally and indirectly bears simi-
lar testimony to the merits Of General McCIel-
Ian. He observes:--"Iti is hard to say that any
thing has been more bravely and better done
than at Antietam, Murfreesboro. Gettys-
burg and on many fields of less note" Here
the President places Antietam at the head of
the list Of the great victories of the Union, while
he says nothing of the two affairs at Fredericks-
burg. This is most decided eulogy on Gene
raj Mcclellan. The radicals have always run
down the victory Of Antietam as no victory at
all, and placed 1t in the category Of drawn bat.
ties But, no matter what the radicals may saw
or do, the President seems determined to do the
generals justice sooner or later. We hope he
will follow up these two brave steps in the
right direction, by sending General Mcclellan a
similar letter to that with which he honored
General Grant, and that he will recall him to
the command of the Army Of the Potomac.
Justice and consistency require il.

TREATMENT OF THE REBEL PRISONERS. Every
account that we get from the South agrees
"a to the barbarous treatment that our men
taken prisoners have received at the hands OF
the rebels, and we have been able TO dwell
with pride upon the different way in which our
government has treated the Southerners in its
hands. II is pity that our record should lack
even ever 80 little to make il perfect in this
respect. We are informed taat the prisoners
on David's Island suffer from the cold-not
from any want Of clothes, but simply through
the imbecils arrangements for which the War
Department is responsible. Very fresh breezes
blow from the Sound about these times. and
early in the day aud toward night the said
breezes will extort shiver from the well clad
traveller who goes up that way. Travellers on
the Boston boats take overosats. Yet the pris-
oners. exposed to these breezes all day, are not
permitted TO wear even pantaloons, because
the regulations Of the Hospital Department
forbid Il. In lieu Of comfortable jackets and
trowscrs, they are clad only in thin cotton
drawers, cotton shirts and light flannel tunic.
Every enc In charge can see the cruelty Of
this: but, for all the authorities here the reg,,.
latons are insuperable And this is another
one Of the sins Of red tape. and another evi.
dcncc Of the ncompetency Of the War De.
partment people, who neglect this just as they
w everything else tbas they should attend to.

since we noticed tho fact tAsk Mr. w. H. Fry,
the musical editor OF the 1fitnIns. had been
drafted. We now see that member OF the
editorial staff of the Independent is lkev'ss
favored. Of the nine hundred thousand
whom Greeley is to march against the traitors
at the South we now have two persona desig-
mated This is highly encouraging. and there
can be no doubt. if the war lasts long enough,
and drafts enough are made, that some thou
sands of years hence Greeley may be exhumed
and his remains carried in triumph at the head
OF the invading nine hundred thousand.
