GENERAL GovCh AND THE PENNsYLvANIANs-i
A LOUD CALL roR KzNo Loo.-Some Pennsyl-
vanians, led on by Simon Cameron, recently
called upon the President to remove General
Couch from his command Of the Department Of
the susquehanna, and put Gcnerscl Cadwallader
in his place. II appears that all thas portion
Of the people Of Pennsylvania who recentlyran
away At the approach Of cCausland--an that
proportion Of course includes nine in every ten
of the native Pennsylvanians- think that Gene
raj Couch did not do his duty because McCaus-
land burned their houses. General Couch il,
therefore, unpopular. But we never yet heard
that the wrath Of the Pennsylvanians had hurt
any one, and we fancy that the General can
stand 1t. 1t is pity, however, that the Presi-
dent should not give them a commander after
their own hearts. General Couch, at Williams
burg, in the centre, at Fair Oaks, on the right;
in the red hot heart Of the fire at Malvern Hill,
at Antietam, at fredericksburg, at Chancel-
lorsville, and in several other hot places, I'm
bibed the pref udice that the way to treat the
rebellion was to look it in the face and fight it.
That will forever render il impossible for him
to be suitable commander for that craven
race that inhabits the country in which Gettys-
burg and Chambersburg lie.

faith in the abilities of General Mcclellan, and

WHAT NIGGER FREEDOM CosTs.-Some years
ago the abolitionists started crusade, as
friends of humanity, to free the niggers, and
their agitation Of that subject brought ou the
present war; This war to free the niggers has
now ragged relentlessly for three years, and
what is the result, There were at the COM
mencement four millions Of niggers in slavery.
It is estimated that the war has made one mil
lion free. But even all OF this million have
not been able to stand the ordeal of their
passage from slavery to freedom. Two or
three hundred thousand have perished mean
while by famine, disease and bullets. Bntssy
that In round numbers one-qusrter Of the mig
gers have been made free, what has 1t cost US,
as friends of humanity, to free this miliionf
North and South together have paid we'll for
it; for In the armies Of both sections there
have been killed or disabled, or have died, not
less than one million white men--a fair balance,
man for man. A white man dies for every
nigger that il made free. But this is not all.
Tho debts Of beth sections make up tho round
sum Of i've thousand millions Of dollars.
1hus, for every niger that has been made free,
in obedience to the clamors Of the friends OF
humanity, the whole country has given i've
thousand dollars and the life Of one white man.
At this rate what will be left Of us when we
have made free the whole four millionsf Will
1t not be like the Kilkenny cat fight! Will
there be any more left than the tailsf

FERNANDO WooD ON THE PEACE TRAn-It is
reported that Fernando Wood has made ar
rangements to send large delegation from
this city to the peace gathering to be held at
Syracuse on the 18th Of this month. This meet
ing is held for the purpose of operating upon
the Chicago Convention. 1t is proposed to
send q delegation to Chicago, and Wood is
playing his cards to be chairman and leader 0!
the delegation, just as he was Of the outside
delegation from this State to Charleston. 1t is
probable that he will succeed this time in
getting Dean Richmond into his tolls, and be-
como the leading spirit of the Chicago Conven-
tion. Having accomplished this much, he will
be able to nominate Vallandigham, Pugh, or
perhaps himself, for the Presidency. He is
playing desperate game, which, Of course, he
would not do unless he saw some chances OF
winning ct Chicago.
