me ARMY for Little Mac.

The Array fOr Little mac a.
The most gratifying evidence OF the pop
ular favor accorded to Gen. Mcclellan is the
enthusiasm every where manifested, in ap.
proval of his nomination for President Of
the United States by the soldiers Of the
republic. II 10 that Little Mac is Their
favorite, and that love and earnestness In
his cause are daily shown by demonstra.
lions Of unmistakable import. Movements
Of troops daily occur in this city, the
thoroughfare being on their line Of march
on Pennsylvania Avenue to the railroad
depot, either on their departure from or
upon their arrival in this city. Il .t.sr
The old flag, floating in majestic grandeur
from the hall of the National Democratic
Association, bears upon its beautiful and
bright folds the honored and popular names
Of Mcclellan and Pendleton. As regiment
after regiment or company after company
Of "our country's brave defenders" pass
the building from which it is suspended,
the scar marked veteran or the new recruit,
officers and men, Wed with. each other in
enthusiastic demonstrations in honor Of
their old commander or revered chieftain.
and the shouts that go up for Little Mac
are amongst the gratifying evidences Of the
earnestness with which the rank and file Of
the army intend to give their support in
elevating Gen. Mcclellan to the presidency.
Yesterday was an especial ccasion, as
Pennsylvania regiment from Adams coun
y, the 1O0th we believe, was passing down
Pennsylvania Avenue, the most vociferous
shouts rent the air for Little Mac" off
GERS and men emulating each other in the
oarnestness Of their demonstration. So il
has been since the nomination, as either
: squad, company, battalion, regiment or
brigade, passed in the vicinity or under
the banner the same enthusiasm manifests
itself for Mcclellan and Pendleton. In.
deed We have reliable information that
everywhere in the army, the nomination 81
Mcclellan excites the widest Juror, and i,
is fair to presume the vote Of the soldiers
will BE- cast almost unanimously for the
Hero of Antietam.
The response of the soldiers to the nom
ination Al Chicago is now coming in and
10 even more enthusiastic for Mcclellan
than his most saneu;ne friends could hav.
anticipated. Private letters written from
to the real sentiments Of the writers and
Y. Cavalry writes:
IL ~ TepoTteO tnat the CnlCaSO COnVen-
ton has nominated Little Mac for the pres
idency, and presume that the report is
true. Howsoever that may he, true or not,
suffice it to say that the report has caused
more joy with Us than any of a political
character that has come to us in years
\ Tho soldiers, so far as can hear. are de-
lighted, and, though many have not, like
myself. served under Mcclellan, vet they
appear to be innoculated by their veteran
comrades with love for the man that is
! as ardent as that which inspires ns all who
know his worth as a general, soldier, a
patriot and . man. Do not remit your
efforts till the close Of the campaign, and
you may rest assured that the army Of the
Potomac will do its share o: the work Of
-electing General Mcclellan to the Chief
.Magistracy Of the United States. E.afe.
