An Fngl;shua"'s 0ptoion of arClsllan.


London Post ]
The Mcclellan party Is undoubtedly very strong,
and it is the only party which has, and has had for
some time, thorough organic stion aad his friends
think that there are few met can carry 80 much
personal influence. There is strong feeling in his
favor through the country. He IS reg arded in
iur ID mao and the people anxious that justice
than any other maD and were lie candidate, Govern
ment could not 80 successfully control tie ballot box
by the bayonet as it has done in different paris OF the
c2un ~ at former elections.
AS or his principles it is difficult to say what they
are Avoaedy, Mcclellan is a Uniorist. Openly be
proesss to be willing to give the South every
sary guaranty provided the Southern people consent to
return into the Union privately he assures those
Fl ends who discourage The PTS cutiuu Ct the thai
he desires ace, und tEa: he Wi advocate n9ca-
;,ct 40 : CpSv rt;C - III. 81. uii NJ receive
lie Z mhaLoI 1t l.h8H.
He urges as Il reason for not openly s;3g tbcs<
sentiments tat people not yetre4oy to endorse
,hem and considers impoitic TO aae any step toe
decidedly in advance OF toe popular eeilng. He fees
assured however that the triumph OF the Democratic
party must esd in peace, for he says that even If II
wished to carry the thare would be no army Of
any agnitude left at the disposal OF the Govern
bv the 4th of March next. What these opinions aDc
professions worth, it is hard to say There are no
O few who dstrust Mcclellan, and who fail to Flac
confidence in the assurances Of man Eho Vas one
the first 10 the commencement OF this revolution,
set the example OF the violation of personal liberty,
he did by the arrest OF the members OF the Mary ant
legislature who has made all repu tation he ha
as war man by the prosecution of the war, and wiz

war which be preends to regard as rulnous 10 To

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-A correspondent oil
the Stockton Independent says the most horri-
BILE tragedy that ever occurred in that county
was enacted near Jefersonvie, on the night OF
the 9th. The house of s. n. Stranahan was
burned, and Mrs. Damn and one child burned
to death. Stranahan and wife, Isaac Damn,
wife and two children were sleeping in it. and,
upon discovering the fire, Damn took one Of his
children. and told his wife to follow with the
other; but the fire burned so rapidly that it
Vas impossible for her to do So Stranahan
and wife escaped uninjured. Damn had been on
trial before the District Court for the murder
of man named McAlster, and was cleared by
the jury last week; and it is supposed the house
was burned by some friends of McAlister in
revenge of the murder.
