WASHINGTON, Sept 5.

WASHINGTON, Sept 5.
From information that has been carefully
gathered during the past week, there is
every reason for believing that General Nc
Clellan is the soldiers choice for the presi.
dency. If the vote of the Army Of the Po-
tomac be fairly taken, without interference
CT dictation by higher powers four-tiiths OF
it will be cast for General Mcclellan. In
the Western armiesli it is calculated that he
will receive three votes out of every four.
The soldiers not only believe in him person
ally, but they feel that the control of affairs
should be in the hands ofa thorough military
man, such as he. As for the officers, near
ly all of them are for the general, though
they have to maintain a prudent silence a
bout the matter. All the West Point inhu-
ence is being quietly exerted in his favor,
and with the exception of such as owe their
to their affiliations with aboli-
ton governors and congressman, there is
hardly an officer but would vote for him in
preference to Mr.. Lincoln. This is some
what remarkable in view of the exertons
that have been made by the administration
to dcpose or remove to frontier stations
every officer who was known to indorse Gen
eral McClellans military policy.
The rank and file are wearied with the
way the warts prosecuted. 1t is a common
remark among them that if the settlement
of the war was left with them and the rebel
army, they would soon come to terms, As
a whole, the soldiers are disposed towards
peace, and would willingly give generous
terms to their brave enemy. A dishonor.
able peace they would spurn in common
with the great mass of the people, but they
are all ready for peace that will bring no
1iscrcdit upon the nation. Holding these
views they hail the prospect Of elevating a
prolessed military man to the presidency,
and will support him on the ground that if
the war continues, he will be competent to
direct it to a successful issue; and if terms
Of peace are to be agreed upon, he will OBJ
tain them more speedily and more satisfac-
torily than a civilian. This they say with
out any reflection upon Mr.. Lincoln, whose
-cpeated blunders in the change ofcomman-
lers has made him anything but popular in
he army.

An ArIlsistiCe.

There is much said by the abolition press
of the impOlity of granting the Contederates
an armislice at this present moment. 1t
says that we have the enemy down, and that
il we offer him an armistic it will only give
him breathing time, and allow him to
strengthe himself for renewal of the con-
test For once the opposition press takes a
correct view of the matter, so far as an ar
mistice is viewed in connection with the OBJ
jects for which the war is conducted. The
war is carried on avowedly and solely for
the purpose of giving freedom to negro
slaves; and so long as this is the object the
South would be less than manly if she did
not continue to offer resistance, lfthe pre-
sent administration should offer the Con
tederatcs an armisticc, they would undoubt-
edly accept it, and use it for the purpose Of
gaining renewed vigor for the contest which
must succeed its expiration. If this ad-
miniStraton offer an armstice, it would be
simply to propose terms to the South which
no people who possess Il spark of manhood
could accept, They would be required to
yield local self government, and this they
could not do.
1t therefore results that this administra-
ton cannot bring about peace. 1t has com
mitted itself to certain policy, and the on
ly direction it can now take is that of war.
1t cannot offer the rebels an armistice; it can
do nothing but continue the bloody but un-
avalling conflict. 1t cannot conclude peace,
for the terms which it offers would be less
preferable to any people than determination.
1t has dcbarred itself from offering Il peace
which can be accepted, and at the same time
it cannot conquer the South. Did not all
history prove the subugation of people an
impossibility, the administration has abun-
dainty demonstrated the fact in its present
effort.
When it is shown that this administration
has neither the ability to conclude peace by
treaty or to end the war by conquering the
rebellious people, then has enough been
produced to show why it should be removed
and its place supplied by party that can
do the first ofthese things. Were the dem
ocratic party in power, it could grant an
armistice to the South with the reasonable
hope that the result would be an honorable
peace. That party has not included in its
politics impractciabe ideas. 1t has not
presented tanatical or sectional determine
ton as its nlttmatam to the South. Its
platform is contained in the single word
Union; and when this is presented to the
South during the lul of an armistice, there
is not doubt as to its acceptance. While
the South would resist forever so long as she
was offered the alternatives of subugation
or an abandonment Of her local institutions,
she would not fight an hour to accomplish
simple disunion.
Therefore let it be distinctly understood
that the only method to attain peace is by
a radical change in the management of the
government. The present management has
forever excluded itself from attaining peace
either by treaty or war and il must there.

A Specimen Of the Dignity and
Ability Of Lincoln.

When the l4Sth Ohio Regiment Colonel
Moore, passed through Washington ON
their return home, they paid visit to the
President, and were thus addressed BY that
high functionary:

The New Haven (Ct) Regtster says
AT New Combs Minstrel Concert, the
other night, in Music Hall, there were some
significant evidences Of popular feeling
The name of Lincoln scarcely touched the
ear Of the audience-that of Grant drew a
moderdnh applause-but when the name of
Little Mae" was uttered, it seemed as il
the entire audience joined in the tremcn-
dous cheers that burst spontaneously forth.
There were many soldiers in the Hall, and
most of them were enthusiastic in the dem

warmly for George b. Mcclellan, the nert

of the country. The people want change
of Administration and are bound to have
it.

All the Democratic Papers for
MCGIeIIan

Every Democratic paper in Ohio-and
there are some eighty or ninety of them
is giving the Chicago nominees cordial and
earnest support with the exception of the
Columbus Crisis In the other States the
press is unanimous and enthusiastic for the
ticket Never in our history has there been
a more prompt acquiescence in the choice of
a National Convention. There is a general
feeling that if Lincoln is re.elected, all guar
antees for life, liberty and property are lost;
and no. genuine Democrat will directly or
indirectly contribute to the result - Ciacin-

large calculations upon it, Itmay be hard to
disappoint them in that particular, but it is
