Oyster.Eating I'm Paris.

The London Times Paris correspondent
says: 81 think it was Mr.. Weller, who,
when driving through Whitechapel, point
ed out the curious fact that "poverty and
oysters always 60 together" True as the
remark may be in London, it will not apply
in Paris, to which the coarser descriptions
of that agreeable bivalve do not find their
way, and where cheap oyster-stalls with
their tin peppercastors and perforated vim
egar corks may be sought in vain. The
cost of the oyster in this capital confines its
consumption to the better classes. Not
withstanding, however, the high price at
which it is sold-generally from Sd. to l0d.
a dozen, enormous quantities are eaten. 1t
has been calculated that 1000 to 5000 baskets
are daily emptied in Paris. Every basket
contains $50 oysters, so that nearly 1900
600 are daily opened and swallowed in this
greedy capital. Thirty-siX millions of
oysters month, or,two hundred and eighty
eight millions in the eight months of the
year to which the consumption of that
mollusk used to be limited. Now, many
persons eat oysters all the year round, under
the belief that, owing to the improved
cultivation of the fish, they may be always
had in fit state for food. Although some
are used in cookery, this is much less the
case than in Europe, where oyster-sauce is
common with various fishes, with turkey,
beefsteak, &C., and the demand for stewed
and scolloped oysters is large. Here the
oyster is usually eaten raw, before or after
soup, and great many as the first dish OF
the knife and fork breakfast"

THE Abolition organs have much to say
about Mr.. Lincoln's "kindness of heart" :
We suppose it his kindness of heart toward
his subordinates that makes him tolerate
and countenance them in swimdling the
Treasury year after year. Pity he hasn't
as much kindness Of heart for the country
as for the villainous depredators upon it!
WHEN our Generals in the field fail, the
President, unless they are political favor
ties of his, removes them. The President,
the Commander-in-C Chief of the army and
navy, has failed more miserably than any
of his Generals, and who shall remove him?
Who but the people, and when but in No
vember?
THE Lincolnites and the rebels are for
saving the United States Constitution by
modes very slightly diflerent-the first by
habitually violating and setting at naught
its provisions, and the last by repudiating
it altogether. The rebel mode, however
atrocious, is the bolder and manlier of the
two.
NEVER was there period in our nation
al existence when there was tenth part as
much corruption under our Government
as there is now. The whole body of Gov
ernment officials are as rotten as Herod
when he was 'eaten of worms and gave up
the ghost"
Mr.. LINCOLN says that he will not stop
the war until all the negroes are set free.
Then he will not stop it until all the white
men are enslaved-made the slaves of ter
rible debt that neither they nor their pos
terity can ever pay.
Miss SLIDELI, who boxed a United
States officers ears on board the Trent, has
been married in Paris to Mons. Erlanger.
We are glad of it. And yet poor Erlanger
never did us any harm.
GENERAL HooKER's speeches remind usa
good deal more of Charlottesville than of
Lookout Mountain.

THE ARMY VoTE.-A correspondent with
Grants army says: Mr.. Dennison, one of
the Democratic commissioners from Con-
necticut for polling the soldiers vote, was
arrested here yesterday afternoon by the
Provost Marshal of the Third Division of
the Second Corps, on charge of violating
an order prohibiting such commissioners
from engaging in political discussions. He
was sent to City Point this evening, and
will probably be expelled from the army
tomorrow. One great cause of the pauci-
ty of the Democratic vote here during the
of Democratic tickets. In some regiments
there were no tickets to be had. The vote
polled does not comprise more than half,
and of those who did not vote nearly all
are Democrats. f

Politics OF AMERICAN Scholars
The four great American historians,
Motley, Bancroft, Hildretn and Kirke
are advocates of the reelection of Abra-
ham Lincoln. All the distinguished
poets of our country, Longfellow, Bry-
ant, Whittier, Holmes, Lowell Bayard
Taylor, Steadman and Baker, are stead
lily engaged on the same side. The most
eminent scholars, such as Emerson,
Marsh, Everett, George William Curtis,
Lieber and Sparks, all give the weight
OF their great influence to the party of
the Union and liberty. IN short, what
ever is of renown and literature and
science in America, is thoroughly patri-
otic, and at this turning point in our
history is happily ranged where it will
best serve the interests of the nation and
promote the welfare of all mankind

A vote for Mcclellan will be, irst and
| foremost, a vote for slavery at a time
when this crime has plunged the coun.
try into the sorrow and waste of civil
war.
1t will be a vote for the rebellion at 8
moment when the rebellion is about tC
fall.
| 1t will be vote for disunion at a mo-
ment when the Union is about to be re-
stored.
| But disuniOn when once started cam
not be stopped, so that each vote for Nc
Clellan will be a vote to break this
Union in pieces, and to set each State
spinning in space.
1t will be votefor chronicwar among
fellow citizens, which will be ever be-
ginning and never ending until the fate
of Mexico will be ours.
! 1t will be vote for the reputation of
the national debt, involving the destruc-
truction OF property and the overthrow
of business.
1t will be a vote for anarchyand chaos
at home.
1t will be vote for national degrade
| ton abroad.
/ 1t will be vote against civilization
! itself.
Is will be vote for the kingdom of
satan on earth.
On the other hand, a vote for Abra-
ham Lincoln Will be, first and foremost,
vote for Freedom, Union and Peace,
that political trinity under whose guar
dianship we place the republic. 1t will
be vote also to fix the influence and
good name of our country, so that it
shall become the pride of history. It
will be a vote also for civilization itself.
AT home it will secure tranquility
throughout the whole land, with free
dom Of travel and of speech, so that the
eloquence Of Wendell Phillips may be
enjoyed at Richmond and Charleston
as it is now enjoyed at New York and
Boston, aud the designation of Border

interior States will be removed, so that
our only "Border States" will be on
Canada at the north and Mexico at the
south. Doing all this at home, it will
secure the triumph of American institu-

Surely all this is something to vote for
and you will not hesitate. Forward,
then, in the name of Freedom, Union,

\ SINGULAR FACr.-Says Wilkes
Spirit Of tie Times, Zone Of the most
singular facts connected with the pres
ent political condition of The North and
the South is, that jeff. Davis and Alex
anjer Stephens, the bogus President
and Vice President of the so-called
Southern Confederacy, are, as we are
credibly informed. native-born Con-
necticut Yankees while Abraham Lin
coin and Andrew Johnson, the North
ern nominees for President and Vice
President OF the Union, are both natives
of slave States, and of that down-trod-
den class of its poor population which is
denominated by the aristocratc planters
as the white trash of the South. Mr..
Stephens, as we are told, was born at
Haddam, in Connecticut, and went to
Georgia at an early age. Mr.. Davis was
born at Killingworth, Connecticut, and
emigrated to Kentucky, where his
father for some time kept roadside
tavern. And these arc the king pins of
the Southern aristocracy, who pretend
to hold their noses when the repudiated
Yankee passes between the wind and
their nobility" "

Mcclellan as n Civilian and Soldier.

Gov. Brough, of Ohio, in recent
speech paid the following tiattering (?)
complimentto Mcclellan. Every word is
true-"nothing extenuated, and naught
set down in malice"
But laying aside everything of mill
tary reputation, tell me where, in the
history of General Mcclellan, are the
evidences of that ripe experience, that
great political knowledge, that fit him
as candidate for the Presidency of the
United States at this time. No civil
employment has he ever been entrusted
with except the superintendence OF a
railroad, and 1 will just say, as to that,
| that while was in that business, if my
road had wanted a Superintendent,
there were fifty other meh in the State
of Ohio whom l would have preferred
to him. This is all the civil employ
ment he has been engaged in. He has
given no demonstration, no evidence of
his capacity to seize upon the reins of
| this Government in time like this
He has no political administrative
knowledge at all. Even in the last po-
litical campaign of 1860, he had not the
genius to discover that the welfare of
this government, and the perpetuation
of its Institutions, required the election
of some other man than John G. Breck-
inridge. He was among the supporters
of Breckinridge. Are we to turn aside
and seize upon an inexperienced man,
merely because, for three long years, he
has made every occasion of his life sub
ordinate to that end. I'D"
| While do not abuse the military Ca
reer of General Mcclellan, feel, this
prompting in my heart that but for the
serpent which whispered in his ear at
| Washington, even as the serpent whis-
pered in the ear of our great mother,
that he could climb the military height
ted States-I believe that but for that,
he could have taken Richmond and
crushed this rebellion two years ago.
believe that when he got before York
town with 100000 men, and 10000 con-
fronting him, believe a man of ordina-
ry genius could have gone into Rich
mond and captured it, had it not been
that the Evil One whispered to him,
"Hold back for Il while; there is a
Presidency to be made out of this thing.
| We may make you President by-and-
by" 1t is matter of history, and | do
not critiose military matters when l
| repeat it here, that the army of the Pen
insula lay there 10000 strong, and be-
| fore less than 12,000 rebels, for period
of fifteen or twenty days, when they
could have stormed over them, when, if
Joe Hooker had been their leader, he
would have captured Richmond in
twenty hours. But Mcclellan said no.
He lay there until the rebel cohorts
were brought in on the ether side, and
he was compelled to retire in disaster,
after burying 10000 American citizens,
who died from disease, under the soil Of
| the ChickahOminY. ---- -.-
