No MOTHERS IN NovELs.-The fact has recently
been stated by writer on modern novels and
novelists, that few authors of fiction attempt to
introduce into their works the character of a
mother. Dickens has very few in the many
volumes which he has written. None of Miss
Bronte's heroines have a mother, and even Sir
Walter Scott and Miss Edgeworth rarely intro
duce the character. q The heroines of fiction
have no mothers There exceptions, but
they are rare. The simple, natural relations OF
life furnish small scope to the inventive genius
of writer's who aim not SO much to instruct as
TO startle and amaze. No one can have read
novels without having the conviction forced
upon the mind that secrecy and misunderstand-
ing not to say deception, underlie every word OF
fiction. By an outspoken word or candid ayowai
of the truth, the long drawn, torturing array OF
circumstances would melt in the air, and the
romance be turned into the reality Of daily life.
The necessity of deception doubtless has mucn
to do with the expulsion Of mothers from the
pages of novels The heroine must remain the
victim Of attentions and sufferings from winch
no one has authority or power to set her Tree.
But still stronger cause for the omission ex-
lists in the fact that heroine must be suffered 10
act out. without restraint those natural impulses
and wild passions of her heart which any moth
or however worldly, would grieve to behold ex-
emnl;fed in daughter. Liberty of speech and
liberty of action are inseparable from the bril-
liant heroine of sensation novel. She could
never be subjected for q moment to the gentle
check of a mothers presence and loving glance.
Thus the mother is dispensed with as an element
quite too dull and commonplace to be compati-
BILE with popular taste. ,sssnz ssasaa;

A CoPPERHEAD NEWSPAPER ON MCCLELLAN
The Colusa Sun, sound, if not a leading organ
OF the latter day Democracy, which talks its
principles square-toed, and forninst cater
ing to policy, comes down like a thousand of
brick on Little Mac and utterly repudiates
the hero of the Chickahominy graveyard as a
candidate Of the peace Democracy for President
After fling many cogent reasons why the Democ-
racy should not nominate Mcclellan, it closes
with the following:
Then where has he ever shown himself q
statesman? ? Is he such an orator as to electrfy
the nation with his eloquence, or are not all his
little serenade speeches the school-boy order +?
We think that every Democrat in the nation
could find at least one hundred men who he
would prefer to McClelan--for our part we could
find a hundred thousand 1t will be admitted
we presume, that he is not the choice of any
peace man. Now the only question is will the
war men sell their principles always provided
they have amy and accept of a peace platform
If we will give them the spoils And then again
If we make such a trade are we not likely to be
sold? Then we do not believe that this war ele-
ment amounts to enough to tamper with. 1t is
determined by our party, we believe, to have a
sound platform, then why not have sound man
upon 1t? II we nominate a man in whom we
have no confidence, will there be the enthusiasm
necessary for the general turning out of the
Democracy? We think not Then Is it policy
to nominate such man?

JOHN CoxSEss.-The Washington correspon,

JOHN C0NNEss.-The Washington correspond
Conness:
Here is another of the self-made men of the
present COngress-self-made and well-fnished--
as complete an article of the kind as the work
shop of perseverance, energy and industry can
possibly turn out Mr. CONFESS is Irishman
by birth. Believing that the Emerald Isle was
one of the best places in the world to emigrate
from, he crossed the ocean when boy, and soon
after his arrival in the western world commenced
an apprenticeship to the trade of cabinet-making
In l849 he was induced to leave the Empire City
for the alluring gold fields of California where
he met with success that in few years he was
enabled to enter pretty extensively into mercan-
tile business. Shortly afterward he began to
take interest in political affairs of his adopted
State and country, and was soon one of the
acknowledged leaders of the Democratic party.
A personal and political friend of the lamented
Broderick, he sustained that noble man in his
struggle against the Lecompton rascality, and
was elected by the Broderick Democrats in 1853,
81, 60 and 81. In the last named year he was
nominated rs Speaker of the Assembly; after
one hundred ballotings he withdrew. The next
year he ran as the Union Democratic candidate
for Governor, separating his friends from the
pro-slavery wing of the party, and securing the
election of the Republican candidate. fusion
then formed, through his efforts, between
the Republicans and the anti-slavery Democrats,
and the next Legislature elected him United
States Senator in which capacity he made his
debut at the commencement of this session.
Mr.. CONFESS is one of the ablest men in the
Senate-an eloquent, forcible and logical speak
err, keen debater and a practical statesman
His voice is clear and ringing, his language al
ways true and pointed, and his manner eloquent
and prepossessing. He is little below the me-
dunn hight, squarely and compactly built, with
light hair, blue eyes, and features full of deter
mination bordering on stubbornness. He is for
ty-one years of age, is married and has several
children.
1t is said here by that California will
claim the Vice Presidency the Union ticket
next fall, and the friends of Mr.. CONFESS declare
that they will elevate him to that position. 1t
is questionable, however, whether q man not
eligible to the Presidency by reason of his ma
tivity can be placed in position in which in a
certain contingency the duties of Chief Magis-
trate will devolve upon him.
1t would be well if the Golden State had an
other such representative in the Senate like Mr..
Conness, in lieu of the poor, lquor-crazed imbe-
Gle, his present colleague.

General Mcclellan ON tn. p.n,n..1..


The New York Times is publishing, in series
of articles, crushing review of General Nc.
Clellans Report" exposing the charlatanism
of the 9; Young Napoleon" from his own record.
From the latest of these articles we quote the
following, which refers to the Peninsula Cam
paign; fn..4 .t..~-.,
q He complains again and again of the small
ness of his force, during period at the begin
ming OF which when the rebels were weakesD
he had ftrsny tinses their number, and at the end
of which when, through his own eculiar tactics,
they were strongest, he had still more than tpice
their number. But though Gen. Mcclellan is
constantly whining about the weakness of his
force he strangely enough nowhere comes down
to precise figures. In what purports to be
complete d" Report" of the military transactions
of this period, one would suppose he could hardly
fail to give detached statement of the strength
of his army. Yet this capital point is entirely
overlooked. Fortunately, we have had the means
of supplying this unaccountable deficit. The
Morning Report of the Army of the Potomac
for April 80, 1862, vouched for by the Adjutant
General of the Army, shows the following fig
ures Total aggregate, l30,37 men aggre-
CRATE present for duty, liz 1872
Remember that this was while Gen. Mcclellan
was still besieging Yorktown. Afterwards he
received total of not less than $50, 900 men -!
Almostth only definite statement of the strength
of his army, given by General Mcclellan, is In q
dispatch of April It'll, 1862, in the following
terms:
when my present command all joins, shall
have about (s5, Oo0) eighty-fve thousand men for
duty, from which large force must be taken
for guards, scouts, etc.
But this is replied to by the President in dis
patch of the subsequent day:
{ There is a curious mystery about the number
of troops now with you. When telegraphed
you on the 9th, saying that you had over hun
dred thousand men with You, had just obtained
from the Secretary of War statement, as he
said, from your own returns, making l08 900
men then with you and en- route to you. You
now say you will have but So, 900 when all en-
route to you shall have reached you. How can
this discrepancy of %, 900 be accounted forT
We may add here that this curious mystery
never was solved. 1t is wrapped up in the secrets
of that extraordinary legerdemain which Gen.
Mcclellan always brings to the treatment of
numbers.
The pertinacity with which Gen. Mcclellan
dwclls upon these alleged causes of complaint
only serves to show the determined spirit in
which he seeks to throw the blame of his failure
upon others, and thus turn attention away from
its true causes, which must be sought first, in
the inherent difficulties of the campaign, which
should have prevented its having been under
taken altogether and, secondly, in character
istc element of the Commander of the Army of
the Potomac, which the President appears to
have appreciated by his repeated illusions, in
his letters to Gen. Mcclellan, to what he calls his
caution and his indisposition to act.

"If we look back but few years, we will not
fail to discover the class Of men who are always
on hand at Democratic conventions, and who
shaped the policy Of the party regardless of prin-

prospect of retaining or getting into an ofice."
Its asconstitaticnaf' ideas have also exposed
a startling discovery, expressed as follows:

THE SuREsT REMEDY.-On the principle OF
fighting the devil with fire, the editor of the Ne
Gazette gives his opinion as to how rebels
who slaughter Federal prisoners should be dealt
with Here it is: "The words . By the Eter-
nal, take the responsibility 7 were the favorite
motto of the Democracy in their palmiest days.
The Democrats sing peans in praise of their
author. 8 | hesitate not to declare, said Mr..
Lincoln, that the Government will protect ne
gro soldiers the same as white soldiers and as
soon as the Government obtains the facts from
official sources, substantiatng the reports of the
massacre, retribution will be surely given, and
retaliation will surely follow. What more can
the people ask Would they have the Govern
ment make indiscriminate slaughter of miserable
set of rebel prisoners in its hands, merely on a
NOR that an outrage had been committed upon
Federal officers and soldiers at Fort Pillow? Or,
would it not be better to wait for an authentic
report of all the facts? Our doctrine is-two
eyes for an eye, two teeth for tooth, two rebels
for one Union soldier, white or black. We de-
sire the Government to wage relentless war
against the rebels, which in the end will utterly
annihiate them but in all things we wish it to
act advisediy."
