A Word to Young Men.

THE patriotic young men of the coun-
try cannot be too strongly impressed with
the truth that upon their action, during
the Presidential campaign, depends, in
great measure, the success of the candi-
dates of the Union Democratic party
Old men for council, young men for ac-
ton, is saying of as much verify as an
tiquity. Much, very much, is expected
of you, young men of the nation; and if
you would not disappoint the hopes of
the millions who look to you to aid in
securing the election of Mcclellan and
PendletOn, you must begin to work at
once. Not a moment can be lost, for our
opponents have been in the field for
three months, and have at command all
the influence which comes from the dis
honest use of official power. We say,
then, to each and all of you who love
your country above everything else
[. Organize, organize, ORGANIZE. If
there be a Mcclellan club in the ward
town or county in which yuu live, join it
Immediately, and induce others to do the
same. If there be not such a club, get
up one yourself Don't be afraid of fail
ure; there is no such word in the Demo
cratic dictionary. Only use the same
energy in hismatter that you do in your
business, and you need have no fear of
the result,
II. Having organized the club, keep
the rooms open day and night until cleo
ton day, and supply them with effective
campaign documents. With the cam
paign papers, and such pamphlets as you
can obtain from your Democratic State
Committee and the Society for the Difu-
sion of Political knowledge, in this city,
you will be thoroughly armed and equip
ped for the contest.
III. Hold public ratification meet
ings as often as may be practicable. Sc
cure speakers of extended reputation
if you can, but don't give up the meet

COurtship in Greenland.

THERE is something exceedingly melancholy
IN the accounts which are given Of tie custom
EOt courtship in Greenland. Generally, wo-
men enter upon the blessed estate with more
willingness and less solcitude than men. The
women in Greenland are an exception to this
rule. A GreenIOnder, having fixed his alice
lions upon some female, acguaints his parents
with the state Of his neart They apply 20 the
parents Of the girl, and if the parties thus far
are agreed, the next proceeding Is to appoin,
two cmale neGotiators, whose duty It is to
broach the subject to the young lady. This
is matter Of great tact and delicaey. Tie
lady ambassadors do not shock the young lady
to whom they are sent by any sudden or alb
rupt avOwal of the awful subject Of their mis-
sion. Instead OF doing this, they launch out
in praises Of the gentleman who seeks her
hand. They speak Of the splendor ofhis house.
the sumptuousl. .ess Of his furniture, and OF his
courage and skill IN capturing seals, and other
accomplishments The lady, pretending toLe
ailronted even at these remote hints. runs
away, tearing the riuglels of her hair as She
rctires, while the ambassadresses, having got
the consent Of her parents, pursue her, drag
her from her eencealment, take her by force
. the house Of her iertined husband, and then
leave her. Compelled to remain there, she
siIs for days with diShevelIed hair. silent and
detected, refusing every kind Of sustenance,
till at last, If kind entreaties do not prevail,
She Is compelled by force, and even by blows,
TO submit to the detested union. In some
cases, Greenland women faint at the propos-
ais OF marriaga-in others they fly to the
mountains, and only return when compelled
to do so by hunger and cold. If one cuts of
her hair, it is a sign that she is determined to
resist it to death. All of this SCENE 50 IN
natural to Us that we seek Tor the reason of
such all apparent violation OF the first princi-
pies Human nature. The Greenland wife
is the slave OF her husband doomed to life
Of toll, drudgery and privation, and if he die,
she and her children have no resource against
starvation. The married state is miserable
condition, while widowhood is a stil more
appalling late.

A FAMILY in Chicago lost daughter, sew
enteen years of age, about two months ago.
They could obtain no clue to her whereabouts.
The other night a hearse was driven to their
door, coffin was taken out and placed in the
hall, with the simple remark, " There is your
daughter" Accompanying the remains was
the keeper of a house of Ill fame. War brings
all sorts Of evils.
IT was 4 smart boy who owned that he
liked everything good but good whipping
The same boy liked a good rainy day, too
rainy to go to school, and just about rainy
enough to go fishing.
"YoU have been sorely tried, " said sym
pathizing neighbor to old Joe CrawdOn, weep
ing over the coffin of his third wife. Yes, y

extraordinary combination Of solid anC
popular qualities, of military capacity
with civil aptitudes, of the generosity o.
early with the wisdom of late manhood
or fitness for the highest Office with avail
ibility as a candidate, qualities bin as
pre-eminently for his allotted part in this
crisis as the character of Washington
qualified him for the great part for which
he vas destined IN achieving our inde-
pendence, and will give to "The Savior
of the Union a place in our history
second only to that of "The Father Of
his Country"
"TBou didst begin the quarrel" " said
an ancient sage, "but I am the reconcil-
iation:" The election of Abraham Lin
coin was trumpet of sedition and civil
war; that of George B. Mcclellan will
be the herald of reunion and peace
The people understand this without ar
gument; and the nomination made yes
terday will be hailed throughout the 10y
al States with a spontaneou fervor of
hopeful enthusiasm such as never before
greeted the announcement of a Presiden-
tial candidate. General McClellan's cleo
ton will be welcomed by outpourings of
popular gratitude and demonstrations of
public rejoicing; which will be the pre-
cursor and exemplar of those that will
soon follow to celebrate the return of
peace. Peace will then be at hand, for
the simple reason that, after his inaugu-
ration, the character of the war will have
so changed that the Southern people will
no longer have sufficient motive to stand
out They will then see that submission
to the Union does not involve the over
throw of their institutions, the destruc-
ton of their property, industrial disor-
ganizatiOn, social chaos, negro equality,
and the nameless horrors of servile war
They now feel that they are fighting, not
only as every invaded people are said to
fight, pro aris ct toreis, but that, owing
to the peculiar organization of their sOci-
ETY., no other people ever had as much at
stake either in the sanctity of their homes
or the preservation of their property
The property of other invaded people can
oan only be destroyed; theirs can be con
verted into instruments of wholesale ar
son, rape and murder, making mems worst
foes those of their own households 1t
is by appears resting on these considera-
tons that the rebel leads have been able
to stimulate the Southern people to a
stretch OF sacrifice and endurance such as
the world has seldom witnessed. These
appeals have been irresistible because.the
danger was felt to be real. On the cleo
ton of General Mcclellan, the overstrain-
ed energies of the South will relax; with
relief from impending danger, there will
a general lassitude and pros
tration; and peace party will spring up,
as if by magic, in every part of the South.
In their strong yearnings for peace, the
door will be easily opened for recOnstruc-
ton on terms consistent with the honor
of the goYernment.

Residence of General Mcclellan,

TIE opponents Of Mcclellan were yes
terday engaged in the most earnest man
ner in assuring everybody that the Gen
eral is a resident of Ohio. This is a
bIunder. General Mcclellan never resi-
ded in Ohio, unless few months spent
in Cincinnati, considerably less than
would entitle him to vote there, make a
resident. He has never had a home
The servant of the nation, he has done
his work wherever he was ordered to do
it, on all sides of the globe, here and in
other countries, but never having a place
of rest which he could call his home, un-
less at his mothers house in Philadel-
phia. He went to Illinois, after leaving
the army, and remained there short
time; thence he removed and went to
Ohio in September, 1860, where he re-
mained only until the outbreak of the
war in 1861, when hevolunteered for the
Union cause, and having been called to
Washington later in the year, removed
his family to that city.
During his services with the army of
the Potomac, he was resident in his tent,
and it is a remarkable fact that in the Pc
ninsular campaign he never passed three
nights under a roof. The contemptuous
order of Mr.. Lincoln which dismissed
him from the command, directed him to
report at Trenton, New Jersey, and he
obeyed the order. He has since that
time resided in New Jersey, passing one
winter in New York city. It has been
his intention to make New Jersey his
home, and to that end he has purchased
a small piece of land in a very quiet and
retired spot where he was preparing to
build house and seek repose. From
this retirement the people are about to
drag him, against his most earnest de-
sires, and insist upon his occupation of
their White House for some years. 1t
Is hard, but he will be compelled to sub
NIT. and make the best of it. The time
will come, if he lives, when he will bear
to his retirement even more Of the thanks
and love of the people than now.-Jour-
nal Of Commerce.
