Official Denial of Gen. NagIee's State
ment about the President and Genera
Mcclellan.


Mcclellan.
The Copperhead press Of the country are giving
circulation to letter addressed by General Nnglee
to Hon. William D. Kelley. of Philadelphia, in
which the author, speaking of General Mcclellan
makes the following statement:
" So far the objections to his military qualGi
cations are concerned, have only to remind you
that within the last sixty days. confidential friend
of the President was sent to oller him one OF the
7 most impo' tant commands of the army. But this
proposition was coupled with the most dshonor-
able condition: that he should decline to be can
didatc for the Presidency. General Mcclellan
restrained his Indignation, and replied to the bearer
of the message, 'G0 back to Washington and say
to the President, for me, that when | receive my
official written orders he shall have my answer"
We are authorized to say that the President has
no recollection ofsending any message or messen-
ger to General McClellan of recsiving any from
him, at any time since he was relieved from the
commend of the Army of the Potomac, and Ger
tainly none such as mentioned in the published
letter of General Nagee. Ifthe President sent a
message in writing, the writing can be produced
if messenger, he can be named. Let either be
done if it can Washington Republican.

REBEL GENERAL WHEELER ELEcrIoNEERING FOR
MCCLELLAN.-We were ipform,d yesterday by an
officer just from Tennessee, that detachment of
the 18th o. vi, consisting of 35 men, were re-
Gently captured by Wheeler, near Lavergne, in
block house. After they were brought before him
he made a speech: in which he said" BOYS if
you will go home and vote for Mcclellan will Aet
you CO." The proposition trented with con-
tempt by the boys, who told him that they would
rather rot and die in rebel prisons, than to do so
The rebels are eleconeering tremendously for
Mcclellan, in consequence of which, most of those
having Mcclellan proclivites are dsgustod, and
will not touch him. When the ides of November
comes Mcclellan boys will be mighty scarce in
the army o. g. Journal.
The New York World boasts that the following
gentlemen have declared for "McCelan aud the
Union at all hazards:" Franklin Pierce and
James Buchanan;
The Chicago Eccniag journal responds:
Pray what has the former dune for the Union
cause, an what has the latter not done against it
In the Cabinet of the former, Secretary of War
jeff. Davis plotted for the overthrow of "the I'm
ion at all hazards, and in the Cabinet of the lat
| ter, Secretary of War Floyd commenced the over
throw of "the Union at all hazards" and now
every mothers son ofthese men goes for Mcclellan
and Cessation of hostlities," except Floyd, who
-"Stole his last gun,
And fled his last battle
No sound shall awake him
TO stealing again."
