the rebels drawn up in four lines of battle, but
upon his charging them with his usual impetu-
osity. they broke and Withdrew in considerable
disorder, without giving the opportunity for
nuy serious conflict Sheridan reports them rs
continuing their retreat in hot haste up the
Valley.

OF all tho truthful sayings reported about
Mr.. Geo. II. Pendleton, we know OF nothing
more pungent and forciblo than what his for
mer colleague in tho House said Of him in a
recent speech ut Carbondale, III. Maj. Gen.
John II. Logan thus ostracized McClcllan's
shade:
They ask me to vote for George B. McClel-
Ian on such platform rs this ! say, won't
do IL. (Applause.) They ask me to vote tor
George II. Pendleton, and say would not
vote for him on that or any other platform, for
Vice President or any other office, II the devil
were candidate against him. Why do l say
so, served with him in Congress, and have
been forced and compelled to dcnounce him rs
n traitor and have good right to do so to.
day. have heard from his lips. in the halls OF
Congress. before he was even thought Of rs n
candidate, words Of treason and disloyalty.
He has denounced this war from the time It
commenced. Tie has never voted solitary dol.
lar, nor cent. in favor OF prosecuting this
war, no matter how the money was TO lie ex-
pended whether for grub for the soldiers, or
anything else-not one dollar has he voted that
could be spent In any way against the rebellion
and in favor of the Government. defy his
friends to-day to point me to one line. or one
syllable, ever written or uttered by him in ia
yor of restoring this Government by putting
down the rebellion-not word. But II you
will read his speeches you viii find that he has
justified secession. You viii find that he has
advocated State rights, and said that he be-
lieved the people OF the South had right to
secede, and the Government had no right to
coercc them back into the Union. That is the
doctrine he has advocated, and upon that re.
cord people ask me to vote for him. Again, L
defy any man To show INC his letter accepting
the nomination on the Chicago platform. Where
is lit Why Is IL that no man can find i'll lie
has never accepted that nomination except by
simple acquiescence, and by his being put on
the ticket. Why is this, say, Because the
Chicago Convention knew, when they adopted
that platform, that Mcclellan would write
soft letter, sort Of war, saying that he knew the
convention was for the war. but they forgot to
say so, aud oil that kind of thing. (Laughtcr.)
They have prevented George II. Pendleton from
writing letter, and venture to say that he
will never write one. Because, il they wanted
a letter from him, unless they wrote II t!i-in-
selves, he has been so much in the habit OF
speaking treason that he could not write any
thing else. II would damn him before the coun-
try, and they knew IL.
