CONCERNING General McClellan's report of
his campaigns. and the accompanying docu
ments, said to fill two large boxes, the reason
why they are not published, is said to be the
Chief to read them and they can not tell of
course, what there may be in such mass OF
papers improper for publication. But after the
publication of the evidence taken before the
Congressional Committee of Investigation, we
doubt whether any thing can be written of Nc
Clellan's campaigns, the publication OF which
would be harmful. Cincinnati Commercial,
(Repubhcan.)
The radical journals pretend that this
report cannot be printed without special
appropriation of Congress for the purpose,
but the item of expense was not thought
of when the three bulky volumes of the re-
port of the Committee on the Conduct of
the War were published, nor the volumin-
Gus report of the Commissioners on the
Freedmen of the South. which was laid
before the country before the ink was dry,
and yet this report, by far the most inn
portant, has been for the time being, sup
pressed. Does it contain a history of the
war which will damage some of our politi-
clans? Does it show the disagreeable fact
that there was constant and pertinacious
interference with all of his plans by the
President, the Secretary of War, and the
Committee on the Conduct of the War?
The report is undoubtedly very long, but
nothing like the report of the committee
which spent months of time, with scav-
enger's love of filth, in raking all the gut
tiers to scrape together some evidences to
justify his removal If the President has
any sense of fair play left, he ought to
order this report published at once.

Southeast Tennessee-.The SlavehOld.
ers and tho MOuntaineers.

We are permitted to make the following
extract from letter just received from an
officer of Gen. VAN CLEvE's staff, Rose
Grams Army, dated Pikeville, Tennessee,
9th ult. The description of the country,
and of the two classes of people inhabit-
ing it, will be found interesting, as we
know it to be truthful:
Pikeville is nearly at the head of the valley
of the Sesquatchie River, tributary OF the
Tennessee, and is about forty miles southeast
of Meanwhile. The valley is some thirty
miles long and about four or five wide, while
on each side of it are the Cumberland Noun
tains which are about one thousand feet high.
Another range Of mountains, known as Wal
dron's Ridge, lies between US and the valley of
the Tennessee. As you may suppose the
country abounds in hill and dale. The noun
poses, while the valleys, which extend among
them in every direction, are very fertile.
We are now fairly in East Tennessee, but
have not yet seen that universal feeling of 10y
atty which we had been led to expect. The
wealthy shareholders, who own the rich val
leys, are nearly all malignant, bitter rebels,
while the poor mountaineers are devoted to
the old Union. The latter class are greatly in
the majority, but have never yet had an oppor-
tunity to defend themselves. This whole noun
tain country, including all Eastern Tennessee,
Eastern Kentucky, and portions of Virginia,
is filled with deserters from the rebel army, or
men who have left their homes to escape the
CONSUMPTION officers. They are compelled to
bushwhack" for living, and are the terror
of the southern cavalry, who never cross these
mountains except in comparatively large bod
les. So far we have had no trouble; and a SOL
der in Federal uniform can 60 through the
country alone safely where "Butternut"
would hardly escape with his life. The rebels
began the bushwhacking system last summer,
but it has recoiled on their own heads in a
manner they little anticipated.

At Convention for the Sixth Senate
rial District held, pursuant to previous no.
tice, at Glencoe, Mcleod county, on the
9Th day of September, 1868, LAURENCE
G1IL1CK, Esq, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic District Central Committee, called
the Convention to order; when, on mo-
ton, ASHLEY G. RIGGS, of Monticello,
Wright county, was appointed chairman,
and G. K. GILBERT, of Mcleod county,
elected secre tary.
The business of the Convention being
the nomination of three candidates to rep
resent the District in the House of Rep
resentatives, the Convention proceeded to
a choice of candidates, nominating the
following gentlemen:
ASHLEY G. RIGGS, of Wright county;
JAMES B. ATK ,NsoN, of Meeker county;
ELI F. LEWIS, of Carver county.
The Convention then adopted the reso-
lutions put forth by the Democratic State
Convention, with the exception Of the
third, which was stricken out, and the war
plank, proposed by Col. ROBERTSON in the
State Convention, and rejected there, was
inserted in it's stead, as follows
Resolved That we look to the army and navy
of the Union to regain and retain every inch Of
national territory without any compromise
with rebels in arms; and we look to the loyal
and faithful people of the South, when the re-
bellion shall be terminated by military force,
to resume the administration OF their State gov
ernments and we look to the Supreme Court
to settle definitely and finally the constitutional
rights of communities and individuals as
affected by the events of the war; and upon
this broad and comprehensive basis of agree
ment among all good citizens, and in common
with the loyal masses Of the American people,
we propose to ''mOve upon the enemy's works
until we force an unconditional surrender"
The following gentlemen were then Sc
lected as the Democratic District Central
Committee for the ensuing year:
L. GILLoK, Mcleod county;
JOSEPH WEYMER. Meeker county;
BENZ. AMBLER, Wright county;
J. A. SARGEANT, Carver county.
Upon which, the Convention adjourned
sine die.

The First Minnesota Returned to
Meade,s Army.

An order was received by the First Regi-
ment early on Sunday morning last to re-
turn to Alexandria, and at ten O'Clock
A. NJ. the regiment marched up Broadway,
with the Eighth Ohio, and sailed in the
steamer Empire City. 1t was supposed
that the probability of a new attempt
against Washington by Gen. LEE, was the
cause of this sudden withdrawal of the
regiment from the North.

"A reliable correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, writing from the heal
quarters of the Army of the Cumberland,
says: "Desertion in the rebel armies is
no longer confined to solitary individuals,
but large masses of men only wait for an
opportunity to quit a service which they
loathe. From reliable information it
would appear that five thousand men have
taken refuge in the mountains of Georgia
alone, successfully resisting all the force
that the authorities can bring against
them"
