"A political General. !.

The Abolition prints characterize Nc Nc
Clellan as "a political general" because, in
his communications to President Lincoln,
he twice refers to the political bearing OF
the war. Fer doing this he is charged With
forgetting his duty as military leader
But did be forget his duty as q military
leaderf Jomini lays it down as funda'
mental principle Of military operations to
consult the political sentiments Of the peo
pie against whom you propose to wage war
But, pray, what are three out of four of our
Generals, but political Generals? What OF
Fremont, what of Butler, what Of Hunter
what of Burnside? And the more in
tensely political they have shown them
selves, the more heartily they have been
applauded by the radicals. But it is a
crime in Mcclellan to take that political
view which is recognized as just by all civil
ized nations-by the best military author
tiles. -.F. tg--,

Trade I'm Cotton.

The Sun urges unrestricted trade in cot
ton. 1t says that the laws of nature are
all on the side Of the Union, and commerce
would naturally precede restoration, which
is Mr.. Vallandigham's view. The laws OF
nature, he holds are stronger for good than
military force. Resort to the latter pre-
vents the operation of the former. Though
we cannot see so plainly, as we would be
pleased to see; the advantages: which ,t IS
hoped may be derived from free trade IN
cotton with the rebels, yet we rejoice tnat

Chase is giving some consideration to the

The Late Admirable Foote.

81 He was an intelligent and firm friend Of
missions, and many missionary onheathen
shores has been scheered by the welcome
visit to his station of this warm hearted
Christian sailor. While speaking one even
ing at the monthly concert in Clinton-ave-
nue. Congregational church Brooklyn, with
which hethen worshipped, he incidentally
said that it was always his practice when
abroad at mission station, both from .
sense of duty and from bis choicest inclina'
ton, TO make one of his first calls on the
missionaries in satsr that the NATIVES
among whom they laborsd might see that
his government recognized and respected
those self denying and useful men. Would
that all our commanders when abroad were
influenced by such considerations of Christ
ian propriety. Missionaries would not
then, as too often now, have occasion to
dread thel visit, Of tsesmen from Christian
lands. n dtt "a" DHD -" -. 2

CRUEL DELAY.-The Republican leaders
seem to delight in torturipg the public
mind by keeping it in an agony of lsupesnrses 9
concerning the draft. There is, all ovsr
the country, an excitement bordering on
consteruation in regard to the CONSUMPTION;
and vet the public are kept in utter igno-
rance as to what its details are to be,
what age, what infirmity, what relation is
to exempt, and whether any Communication
in money Is to be received in lieu of service.
This doubt deranges all plans Of business,
and unsettles the pursuits and purposes Of
tie people to an alarming degree. 1t! is
demand of the people which ought to be
heard and promptly needed, that all uncer-
tainty be removed by definite and authori-
tative announcement. If all must shoulder
arms, let it be known, that little time
may be had to arrange affairs and provide
for wives and children during absence.-

- JEFF DAVIS ON THE PkopLE OF MAINE
An English officer publishes letter in
Biackvoods Magazine, in which he gives an
account of an interview he had a few
months since with jeff Davis. From his
report of the remarks of the "Oonfederate
President" We extract tho following:
He said that, when the inevitable smash
came, and that separation was an accom-
plished fact, the State of Maine would prob
ably try to join Canada, as most of the in
telligent people in that State have q horror
of being .tuuder the thumb of Massachu-
setts!" He added that Maine was inhabited
by hardy, thrifty, seafaring population,
with different ideas to the people in other
New England States. "a

Love for Flowers.

The passionate love for flowers is marx
ed characteristic of the Pharisians, and the
sale of flowers b in Psris an extensive and
lucrative branch of trade. 1t is computed
that the various little patches of ground In
the vicinity of the French capital, appro'
uriated TO Aoral cultivation, realize an an
SSuaI income Of 81, 100000 francs, and give
employment to 60o, 900 persons. In Paris
alone there are no less than 3S5 florists
and on occasions Of public festivity, their
Ieonioint traffic not unfrequently amounts to
10000 francs. Ats fets given last season
nv one of the foreign ambassadors, the
cost of the flowers was $1,000 francs.
