n@- IT is fact which may appear little
obscure to those who are so blind that
they will not see, that on Old Abe's re-
nomination gold rose to high figure, but
upon the nomination of Mcclellan it fell,
TIL now it is at lower figure than it has
beeu for many weeks Detection and gen
cral espondoncy succeeded Lincolus re
nomination, but when the wires flashed
the nomination of Mcclellan over the
country, it inspired hope and restored
confidence to the people that all would
ere long be righted under bis coAsumate
leadership.

ssSuch q Ratter.''

A correspondent OF the Brooklyn Times
furnishes that paper with an amusing ac-
count of his experience with terrier
whice he bought from dealer on the re-
commendation that he was ''such ratter
He had some trouble at first in getting a
rat on which to try his ''pup." He sue
ceeded at last and says:
"Hewever the next day was SO fortu-
nate as to secure from boy in the mar
ket fine, old line, bob tailed rat, whose
furious efforts to chaW everything within
reach gave premise of glorious sport for
Nip. Took the rat home, called in my
dog and told my wife if she wanted to see
the way terriers did rats to come down in
the basement. She come down and shut
the door, just in time, too, fer as soon as
Nip saw the rat-he, nip, my ratter, for
which had paid the old gent five dollars
made most Enthusiastically cowardly move
ment toward the hail. Wife, on a chair
said she did not appear to see the rat.
Told wife to keep her breath. Thought
I would not give Nip any reason for not
seeing the rat again; so tied the string
thak held the rat to the dogs hind leg
He saw the rat that time, and jumped on
the chair by vile. Wife laughed aud
showed him eff Tried the stove next.
Go. off the stove without being showed.
The rat, however, an old stranger, and
not being used to suoh treatment, made u
demonstration on Nip's rear; and don't
believe little Flora Temple ever made
better time in the limits than that dog and
rat made around the room.
A.. hol h. ola 1x,f IL
lowed by rat, who, on striking the half
mile pole (foet stool in the corner) broke
badly, in fact nearly broke his back, and
before he could be brought down he was
sliding on his back dog led him by whole
length Of the string Didn't step for
wind, but started on the second heat
Got off we'll together, (tied), and went
finely around neck aud tail, until they
reached the judges stand, wife standia.
On a chair1 against which dog brought up
solid, bringing the judge down pre-emi-
nently sudden, if not dignifed. That
heat was decidedly against the dog, you
may bet; and it was only after much per-
su1sion that the judge wsuld again take
the stand.
The third heat may be termed dead
heat. They got off as well apart as the
dog conveniently could, and sailed lively
until just as they struck the last quarter,
when the rat, which ran about as we'll on
his back as on his legs, SHE'D the track,
and got rather queerly wound around a
table leg. Dog kept on as fast as the
string and the length of his hind leg
would let him, on raising the rat he was
found to be non compos, totally aefunct,
in fact dead. Nip was not much better
off,
Wife said that dog couldn't kill mice.
Told her he had certainly killed that rat;
but ou viewing the feat in scientific light
| must confess / did not feel quite salts
fed with the performances of my pet, and
the next morning gave him away to a
milkman who wanted ratter to free his
stable from the dopridations Of the YER
min. I have not been able to ascertain
which left him first, the rats or the dog.

More blood must be she'd" Macbeth.
The tyrant once again proclaims,
Let justice be despissd,
And half million victims more
To war be sacrificed.

And trample on the poor,
And force into my slaughter pen,

1t matters not to me and mine,
Though blood in torrents flow,
And every house in my domain
Becomes house of woe.
Yes, though monument of sculls
Is standing in my dosr,
I'll force into my slaughter-pen
Five hundred thousand mere.
What care I for the widows wall,
Or yet tho orphans cry,
Or yet how many mangled forms
In agony may die.
Though fresides are desolats,
And fields are drenched with pors
I'll force into nay slaughter pen
Five hundred thousand more.
/ know my present power will end
In infamy and shame,
know ten thousand tongues to day
Accnrse my very name.
No matter. blood shall still be shed,
No peace will restore,
But keep my place, though it may cos
A hundred million more.

The Admimistratie Giving
Evidence i'm Favor of Gen.
eral Mcclellan.

In view of the attempts of the Repub-
lIcan papers to circulate ISLANDERS against
General MCCLELLAN, We give the fol-
lowing testimony respecting his abilities
and services from various members of the
administration:
WASHINGTON, July 2, 1869.
Major General George B. Mcclellan:
l am satisfied that yourself, officers,
and men have done, the best you could
All accounts say better fighting was never
done. Ten thousand thanks for it,
A. LINCOLN.
Ts--days aftsrward, when Mr.. Lincoln
had fuller Information, General McClel-
Ian received the following:
WAsHINGToN, July 1862
Major General George B. Mcclellan,
Commanding Army of the Potomac:
A Thousand thanks for the relief your
two dispatches of IL and l P. M. yester-
day gave me- Be assured the heroism of
yourself, officers, and men is, and forever
will be, appreciated,
A. LINCOLN.
In August, 1857, Mr.. Lincoln made a
speech at the White House, in which he
said:
There has been very wide spread at
tempt to have quarrel between General
Mcclellan and the Secretary of War.
X General McClellan's attitude is
such that in the very selfshness of his
nature he cannot but wish to be success
full, and l hope he will.
x X know General Mcclellan
wishes to be successful. X Gen.
Mcclellan is not to blame for asking what
he wanted and needed.
X X L believe he is brave and
able man, and 1 stand here, as justice re-
quirss me to de, to take upon myself what
has been charged from him.
Here is Gen. Halleck's testimony:
WASHINGTON, August 81, 1862.
Major General George B. NcClellen:
l beg of you to assist me in this crisis
with your ability and experience. l am
entirely tired cut.

DIssATIsFIED.-The tribe of Abra-
ham, this widow maker, are sorely vexed
over the action Of the Chicago conven-
ton. They wanted quarrel in the con-
Yention and split in the party SO that

years more. The harmony and determin-
alton of the Democracy indicates to acer-
tainty the overthrow ofthe corruptedynasty
of Lincoln. The honest men of the Rspub
lican party will vote for Nc Clellan.

The Best Satire of the Cam
paign

We present this week the first Of ou
series of Campain Songs, which will b
found the crispsst specimen of lyric satir
extant. Preserving all the features o
the chanson, it most successfully EN-
bodies the full political argument, and ev
cry period draws blood like the war song
OF the lroquois, who whipped the cap
tives to music. With all the broad hu
mer of this composition, it has bite
and merciless tone, by which we are thrill
ed as we laugh; and yet ne stanza is NO
representative of the deep indignation W.
feel in common, against the gamesters anc
buffoons who have plucked the country
and then derided it.
CAMPAIGN SONG.
DEDICATED TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Blow the horn and beat the cymbals,
Bound the hewgag once again
Bring the lively pea and thimbles-
Emblems ofour Lincoln's reign.
EN- mblems ft-none filter know ye:
For, if Je have decent eyes.
Any thimble-rig can show We
Where the Little Joker" lies
Silence, Democratic croaker!
What though thousands bleed and fall,
Hear us laugh: our royal joker
Does not "ieel the war" at all!
Soldiersl bend in genufexion,
As your 70 es for him yeu threw,
He is sure of election
All his conscriptS love him so!
Fill the goblets fresh and foamy,
Drink to him who dips his ear
Like Crown Prince of Dahomey-
In food of human gore!
Keep him, Lord, in holy keeping,
Spare this wheat, and burn the chat,
Let the widows do the weeping
He must live to make US laugh
Battles are not all his glories,
Victories are not all his joys:
7 GU should hear his. sslittle stories
Of his life in Illinois
Look upon his lovely features;
Neer was seen beneath the sun
Such paragon of Creatures
Beauty and tho Best in one
Than his heart, naught can be bigger,
And SO set upon the right
That, to free his brother nigger,
He'll snsiave his brother-white
Blow the horn and clash the cymbals,
Sound the hewsag once again;
Bring the lively pea and thimbles-
Emblems of our jokers reign!
