Hard ON MeOlellan.

1t has never been considered fair or honor
able within or outside the "ring" to strike a
man after he is down, but the Editor of the
Portsmouth States and Union does not OBJ
serve the rule, and kicks "Little Mac" unmer-
cifully, although he advocated his election.
Since the signal defeat of his fayorite cand-
date, his heart has overfowed with gall, and
it has run down to the point of his pen.
Speaking of the leaders of the Democratic
party and the joiners OF the Chicago platform,
he says:
They succeeded in committing the party to
the infamous scheme, and plunging it, in the
blindness Of a thoughtless patriotism, into
the yawning vortex of centralized Federalism
to founder about, the mere appanage of the
hell-inspired apostles of the ''irrepressible
conflict" But not yet content, they must
force upon us, through the machinery of the
nominating convention, the consolidationist,
the "vigorous nationality" candidate, who,
by the farthest stretch of arbitrary power,
had arrested the Legislative body of sister
sovereign State, and reduced her to a poor
vassal, at the merciless tyrant's feet. The re-
suit is. we have been defeated in nearly all the
local elections, and in the great Presidential
contest we are nearly overwhelmed.
Our contemporary must "grin and bear it"
with the best face he can assume under such
difficulties. But, man alive, don't insult the
community in which your lot is cast by pub
fishing speeches from that miserable man,
C. Chauncy Burr. The one you publish in
the same paper in which the above attack on
the leaders of your party and your favorite
cannidate for the Presidency, appears, is
enough to mantle any cheek with shame but
YOURS and the authors.

ton in the U. S. Senate is no slight compll-
ment, coming as it does from one who has
been for many years a close observer of the
sayings and doings of the eminent men in
that body.
After denying the rumored cabinet changes
ana the assertion that Mr.. Stanton is to leave

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.
The Richmond Despatch ofthe 18th, says:
Georgia papers print much concerning Sher-
nsn,s movements and about our own, which
it would be imprudent to copy.
. II was pretty well ascertained that the left
wing Of Sherman's army, when it reached
Madison, numbered 10000 men. They burn
ed the town when they left
Augusta papers show that the excitement
in that city week ago Monday was very
great, and it was proposed to impress the
negroes. One of the papers was very fearful
of treachery on the part of citizens on the
arrival of Sherman.
The Importance to the Confederacy of Au-
pusta and Macon, is dwelt upon at length by
the Richmond papers, who say that their fall
would be great disaster.
The Richmond Wing derives comfort from
the belief that Sherman makes only seven
miles day.
The Richmond Enquirer of the Goth ult,
saws of Sherman's movement: 48t
"Ifhe could take Macon, or Augusta by the
way, he would accomplish great things, but
the destruction of those towns was not his
main object. His design was to destroy the
railroads SO far as he could, which run from
Southern and Western Georgia to Virginia
and the Carolinas, and to rest his army at
