THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

We published on Saturday an exclusive dis
patch containing the views of the New York
Daily Ners, repudiatlng Mcclellan upon the
Chicago platform.
1t now appears that the Metropolitan Record,
the organ of the late Archbishop Hughes, the
acknowledged Catholic organ of the country,
also repudiates Mcclellan. The editor Of that
paper, in opposing the election Of Gen. McClel-
Ian, says:
In the course he has thought proper to adopt,
he ceases, strictly speaking, to be a candidate,
as the candidate and platform have hitherto
been regarded as inseparable. Gen. Mcclellan
cannot say that he was ignorant of the charac.
ter of the platform before he was nominated, as
1t was adopted the day before the nomination
was made. If he could not stand upon that
platform why did he not inform his friends In
Chicago by telegraph of that fact In time to
prevent the peace delegates from being pisledi
Can 1t be possible that this delay was simply
settled purpose TO entrap them ! Did he and
his advisers suppose that by waiting several
days after the Convention adjourned they
would put 1t out of the power of the peace men
TO correct their mistake, and thus prevent them
from placing another candidate before the
public
We alss observe that Mr.. McMasters, editor

Clellan in an editorial in the last number of
that paper. The Freemdn'S Journal, it will be
recollected, is one of the ablest Catholic organs
in this country. The article in question was
written by McMasters, announcing that lie
should oppose Gen. McClellan's election II he
did not accept the Chicago platform.
We learn from private sources that since
McClollan's letter has appeared McMasters has
announced his intention to oppose him in the
next number of the Freemdn'S Journal.
The Ohio Crisis, another Democratic leader, is
also out against Mcclellan.
A private dispatch to the "NATIoSAL REPUD
LIcAN," which appears elsewhere, informs us
that Vallandigham has left the canvas, refuses
to stump for Mcclellan, repudlates his letter
denounces his course, and is now at work in
Ohio with the Northwestern Peace Democrats
to place in nomination another candidate upon
the Chicago platform.
The above are some of the evidences which
arc daily developing themselves in the poltica
world, giving an inside view of the happy
Democratic family.

Gen. Hancock Makes a Surprise Move-

HEADQpARTERs ARMY OF THE PoToNAc,
Sept. 10, a. m.-At part Of our line just west
Of tle Jerusalem plank road, occupied by the
Sd division of the I'd corps, the opposing
pickets have been SO close together that they
could converse without difficulty. On a part
of this line, and some distance In the rear of
their advance, the enemy had thrown up a line
OF slight works, with the intention, 1t is sup
posed, Of falling back to them when occasion
might demand.
1t was evidently determined last night To
drive the enemy back to this line, and thus
straighten our line. About midnight, when all
was quiet, the division was formed In line OF
battle, and the picket line being reinforced
was ordered to advance. The rebels were evi.
IDENTIFY not prepared for such a movement, as
they were completely taken by surprise, and
| nearly the entire line was captured.
The enemy made every effort to retake the
lost ground, but did not succeed, and our men
now occupy the line, and are securely en-
trenched.
We took about one hundred prisoners, while
our own loss was very light. Occasional firing
has been kept up in that vicinity all the morn
ing, and the enemy evidently feel sore at
being SO taken by surprise. Some Of them
called out to our men, saying: "That was &
id mean Yankee trick anyhow, but Wen pay
you up for 1t before long"

From the Valley OF virginia-The En-
pseted Rebel Assault on the Army OF
the Potomac,

HARPER's FERRY, Sept. 0.-Authoritative
and reliable reports from Loudoun county, re-
ceived here, affirm that all the guerrilla COM
panies In Northwestern Virginia, including
Mosby's gang, have been ordered to repair
forthwith to Richmond, and to take part In a
grand attack which is now being prepared
against Gen. Grants army. 1t is said that part
of Gen. Hoods defeated Georgia army has
already arrived at Richmond, and will also
take part In the proposed rebel coup de grace.
In Richmond, on Sunday, in several of the
churches, sermons were preached urging the
clergy aud the heads OF families to give their
influence to the recruitment of Gen. Lees
army, which would annihilate Gen. Grants
army preparatory to the grand assault and re-
trieve their lost ground. In Northwestern Vir-
ginia patriarchal old men have been seen to
urge the people to turn out all their able-bodied
men to take part in the last blow which was to
make the South q free aud Independent nation.
1t Is said that at the proper time Gen. Early's
army will leave the valley and take part in the
projected assault on Grants army.

rebel cruelty, but we know ofno more horrible
instance of 1t than that mentioned in letter
from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry. A man
belonging to Vermont brigade was killed on
the skirmish tour on Sunday evening, August
2lst, just before our army fell back TO Charles
town, Jefferson county, and was carried short
distance TO the rear and left for the purpose of
burial, but because of our army leaving sooner
than was expected he was not inferred. The
rebels buried all but his head, and taking the
lid of a cracker box drove it through his neck,
just above the Sternum, literally pinning him to
the ground, forcing the tongue and eyes out,

ming shows that they intend to give the Cop

FALLIN aoLn. Tn-nAY.

A telegram from New York, to-day, an.
nounces that gold has fallen TO 215! This was
produced by the rumors, repeated from Satur.
day, OF Mobile having been captured by the
Union forces, and that Gen. Grant had gained
q victory before Petersburg. We regret that
we are not able to confirm the reports. On the
contrary, we can authoritatlvely announce that
the Government at this time a p. m.) has no
such information on the subject.
The fall in gold can be easily accounted for,
In our judgment, In this way; When Atlanta
fell the gold spectators lost largely and are
now endeavoring to recover themselves, and
are doing so by announcing in the World, as
was the fact on Saturday, that victories have
occurred in order TO bear the market they will
neither report was true, which will run gold
up again, and thus they will regain what they
lost by the fall Of Atlanta.
This Is, undoubtedly, one of the tricks Of
Belmont, who controls a large amount of gold
in the New York market and lost heavily on
peated many times during the present political
campaign. 1t is the only way Belmont can
get back the money he will be obliged to ex-
pend in endeavorlng to elec: the Chicago plat
form.
P.s. Since writing the above, the very trick
that we intimated would be perpetrated by the
gold spectators has occurred.
Announcement has been made in New York
that Mobile has not fallen, and that Grant has
no, whipped Lee, and gold consequently has
gone up to 21s, aud Belmont thereby puts
thousands in his pocket. How arc you,
