The soldIers FOR McC,elran.

During the past few weeks we have con-
verssd with scores of p.ivate soldiers on
the subject Of the next Presidency, and,
without an exception, the expressed them
selves in favor of the election of Gen. Nc
C,ellan. The officers and others hoping
for promotion declare for Old Abe and the
Niger, but the brave boys who do. the
hard fighting are for Mcclellan and the
constitution. Our opinion is, ifthe sold
iers are left free to exercise their own
choice, that Old Abe will carry but small
portion of them. The men who are fight-
Jog for the Union, want maa to lead and
represent theaI-and that man is George B
Mcclellan.
McCleilan lie all right with the soldiers
BE has served too many campaigns 10 the
army, to be neglected by them. They
understand his position and are aware of
his bravery and patriotism, aud will not
defert him for any Abo!itionists-not even
excepting Old Abe. "a .-.t 81

The statement made by the Washineton
correspondent # the New York CONNER,
ciat that Sherman was atVicssburg on the
24th uls., and that he will soon etart on
another expedition. is a great mistake
None of Sherman's forces had reached
jackson on the 24th, and Nicksburg adyic
es Of the 7th made no mention Of bis arr.
val there or of any contemplated new
movement. McPhersou's corps, which
reached jackson on the 24th, will probably
remain there for the present, but another
