General Mcclellan the Soldiers
Choice for tIlc Presidency.
WASHINGTON, September 3.
POLITICS IN THE ARMIES.

WASHINGTON, September 5.
POLITICS IN THE ARMIES.
From information that has been carefully
gathered during the past week, there is
every reason for believing that General
Mcclellan is the soldiers choice for the
presidency. If the vote of the Army of the
Potomac be fairly taken, without interfer-
ence or dictation by higher powers, four
fifths of it will be cast for General McClel-
Ian. In the Western armies it is calculated
that he will receive three votes out of ev-
cry four. The soldiers not only believe in
him personally, but they feel that the con-
troll of affairs should be in the hands of a
thorough military man, such as he. AS for
the officers, nearly all of them are for the
General, though they have to maintain a
prudent silence about the matter. All the
West Point influence is being quietly ex-
erted in his favor, and with the exception
of such as owe their commissions to their
affiliations with Abolition Governors and
Congressman, there is hardly an officer but
would vote for him in preference to Mr..
Lincoln. This is somewhat remarkable in
view of the eXertions that have been made
by the Administration to depose or To re-
move to frontier stations every officer who
was known to indorse General McClellan's
military policy.
The rank and file are wearied with the
way the war is prosecuted. 1t is q common
remark among them that if the settlement
of the war was lett with them and the rebel
army, they would soon come to terms. AS
a whole, the soldiers are disposed toward
peace, and would willingly give generous
terms to their brave enemy. A dishonora-
BILE peace they would spurn in common with
the great mass Of the people, but they are
all ready for peace that will bring no dis
credit upon the nation. Holding these
views, they hail the prospect of elevating a
professed military man to the Presidency,
and will support him on the ground that If
the war continues, he will be competent to
direct 1T to successful issue; and if terms
of peace are to be agreed upon, he will OBJ
tain them more speedily and satisfactorily
than civilian. This they say without any
reflection upon Mr.. Lincoln, whose repeat
ed blunders in the change of commanders
has made him anything but popular in the
army. tta.

sons Landing, as warning, that if, after
all promised Establishments and constitu-
tional guarantees, and we still hold out
against the "Union of our fathers" that
Young Napoleon will be reluctantly COM
PEELED to eXterminate us at last.
But perhaps these speculations are pre-
mature. The ides Of November have not

everything entrusted to his care and the in

lawyer and ready debater, he has proved
himself all that could be desired.
Our readers will see by reference to an
other column that Mr.. Johnston has chal-
lenged Mr.. Hubbell, his competitor, to meet
him in debate at such times and places as
may be designated by the Central Commit
tees Of the two parties, and discuss the great
political issues of the day.
Will Mr.. Hubbell accept? We hope he
will, that the people may see his statesman
ship, claims as debater, and judge Of the
tenability and soundness of his and his par
ty's political views.
Mr.. Hubbell Is fifth-rate lawyer, an in
different speaker, and his craftsmanship
does not aspire above that of the petty pot
house politician, as all his public acts clear

That he is shrewd, selfish, bartering
trickster, we only have to recall the means
used to secure his nomination over General

AN INGENIOUS WHISKY SMUGGLER.--The
guard at the Long Bridge arrested Henry
VOck and seized his two horses and wagon
for attempting to smuggle whisky into Vir-
ginia. When Vock approached the bridge
with his wagon it was apparently empty,
but the guards thought they ''smelt some
thing" and Immediately instituted a
thorough search, when they discovered a
large number of canteens, containing in the
aggregate thirty-two gallons of whisky,
Which was was provided de- iS With sgS false I or GgS doggSe
sideboards, the top of which were covered
with Stats securely nailed down. Vock was
committed to the Central Guardhouse to an
swer the charge of smuggling whisky in
violation OF military orders, and his stock
of liquors, horses and wagon were conflscat-
ed and turned over to the property clerk at
