Washington.
The letters subjoiued were written by a Rebel
officer, an eN. WashingtOnian, well known in
that city, while the Rebel army Of invasion was
in front of the city. Ifany evidence is wanting
that 1t was fully the intention of the Rebels to
make the attempt to take Washington, and that
they were at one time confident Of success in
that attempt, such evidence is supplied in these
letters. The writer is young man cf fine pro-
mise, who, misled by bad counses, left with
other Wushmgtonians 10 join the traitOrous
gang at Richmond, and he returned to strike
paIricidal hand Gt the city Of his birth.

Who are the Allies of the Rebsls9

The Charleston Courier, one of the most
candid Of all the Southern papers, in recent
article said:
I All of us perceive the iastinctire connec-
ton existing bet1oeen the armies of the Con-
.federacy and the Peace men Of the United
States.
These constitute two immense forces that
are working together for the procurement of
peace. TIE party whose nomination and
platform We are considering, are altogether
dependent for success on the courage and res
olution OF our lighting men. Ii their general
ship, sagacity, valor and vigilance. are unable
10 obtain victories, and to arrest the progress
of the invading hordes, the existing Admins
tration will laugh to seorn all the efforts
of the Opposition, and, in spite of the most
powerful combinations, will continue to hold
the places they occupy.
Our success in battle insures the success of
Mcclellan. Our failure will inevitably lead
to his defeat. 1t is the victories that have
crowned our arms since this year began that
have given existence, strength and harmony
to that organization which has arrayed itself
with firm, defiant front against the despot and
his minions. 1t is our long, unbrokeu series of
splendid successes that has emboldened the
few men OF sense and honesty in Yankeedom
to raise their voices in denunciation of the I'M
aCOuSllSuJIOudl, DdSe, iOOllSl measures ADOPTED
and enforced by their Government, and they
have gathered around the banner of their ex-
ceptional men so large a number as that they
have good hope of being able to make head
against the oppressor and tyrant.
He who does not know that the Mcclellan
party of the North is regarded by the rebels as
their ally, must be grossly, wilfully ignorant.
They believe that Mcclellan, if elected, will
at once concede their independence. What
ever may be the fact, such is their conviction;
and they are exhausting their last energies in
an effort to hold out until after our Presiden-
tial Election. When their hopes shall be
blasted by the result, we believe that the mas
ses will constrain their reckless, desperate
leaders to throw themselves on the generosity
Of the Government, and that our long devasta-
ted country will enjoy once more the blessed
ness OF Peace.

President Lincoln and Gen. Mcclellan

Francis P. Blair, senior, has written let
ter in relation to the alleged purpose of Presi-
dent Lincoln to recall Mcclellan to the army
in case he would abjnre the Chicago nomina-
ton. Mr.. Blair states frankly that it has
grown out of an effort of his own, made on
his own personal responsibility, to induce
Gen. Mcclellan to ask for military employ
otto motives and by sagacious views both of
the interests of the country and of Gen. Nc
Cellan's position. The President, as it also
appears from Mr.. Blair's narrative, had no
part in the matter; and none but the most
disingenuous reasoning can hold him in any
degree responsible for what was done.
The Boston Advertiser says, 1--WE wish we
could add that Gen. Mcclellan came out OF
The afflir with equal credit. As the record
now stands, it leaves the impression that he
felt the influence of other than military objects
Of ambition, and that he was disposed to
weigh coolly with reference to them propo-
sition which, under the circumstances, should
have filled him with soldiers enthusiasm
while it is at all events certain that he neg
lected noble and last opportunity to set him
self right" se9.-se --.-i,..-..s,...
The effort of Mr.. Blair was made in New
York, and he says in concluding his letter:
mentioned to Mr.. Lincoln, on my return,
the attempt | had made at the Cancellation OF
parties in New York, with view to defeat
the opposition in the North, by restoring har-
mony among all favoring the crushing of The
rebellion by arms, and told him thought it
probable that Gen. Mcclellan might write to
MIN in respect to himself He neither ex-
pressed approval nor disapprobation of what
had done, but his manner was courteous
and as kind as Gen. McClellan's had been.
As to the other phase of this matter, refer
red to by Mr.. Montgomery Blair in his Coop
er Institute speech, the N. Y. Times has the
following:
President Lincoln did once ask General
Grant whether Gen. Mcclellan would be sat
isfactory to him and useful to the country as
commander of corps in the Army of the
Potomac; but he never said or intimated to
Gen. Grant or anybody else, nor did he ever
think of giving him such command or OF
offering it to him on condition of his turning
his back on Presidential nomination. What
ever conditions" if any, were suggested or
thought of Ia this connection were of a pure
ly military character, and related solely and
exclusively to the Generals probable useful
ness in the field.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1864-10-12
Gen. Mcclellan ignores Gen. Grant.

The New York Herald, certainly not pa
per in the interest of the administration, ia
the following article reminds Gen. Mcclellan
that there is such person as Gen. Grant, al
though he McClelan) seems to have entirely
overlooked the fact. The Herald says:
We are very much astonished by the indi-
cation given in Gen. McClelans recent speech
that he had never heard of Gen. Grant. Gen.
Mcclellan, as the majority of our readers
know, is the candidate Of the Chicago Con-
vention for President, and that Convention in
its platform proclaimed its sympathy with our
army and navy. Its candidate is therefore ex-
pected to give expression to that sympathy
IN his speeches., and this Gen. Mcclellan is
understood to have done at Orange. He
spoke OF Sheridan, Sherman and Fdrragut;
but he very strangely omitted the greatest OF
all-Gen. Grant-the man who certainly, by
Gen. McClellan's example, is entitled to praise
and glory, not only for his own particular
achievements, but for the achievements of all
the others for when Gen. Mcclellan occupi-
ed the position that Gen. Grant now occu-
pies, all the victories, East and West, North,
South and everywhere were his He claimed
this, and the country admitted it. But, wheth-
er or no Gen. Mcclellan ever heard of the ex-
istence of this Gen. Grant, we can assure him
that 1t is the universal opinion of the people
Of this country that there is such a man. 1t
is believed that this General fought great
battle at Fort Donelson quite early in the war,
and achieved great victory there, Capturing
fifteen thousand prisoners. 1t is asserted that
he captured the rebel stronghold of Vicks-
burg, with forty thousand prisoners, and gain
ed great battle at Chattanooga In the same
year. 1t is positively known that he has
fought great battles and been able to move his
army next day. There is, indeed, one reason
that has tended to keep him out of sight; he
has never made any great noise in the papers
with complaints against the bad treatment of
the administration. Yet, in spite of this, his
name is in all the histories of the war. How
is it that Gen. Mcclellan should not have met
with it In his reading lately? He has had
nearly two years of leisure. What has he
been at?

CAMP HARD iIMEs 11TH ME. VOIe
In the mud, before Richmond, Oct. 8, 1864.
MEssRs EDITORS Il have just been read
ing articles in the Eastern Argus, paper that
upholds the Chicago Platform with its Canada
sneakes. One article noticed in particular
in their reasonable columns, giving the num-
her of votes thrown for Lincoln and Mcclellan
in the ID Army Corps, putting Mcclellan
ahead of course, as they think it their duty to
do. But let them come down to the fine
point and collect information from the 10th
Army Corps, which outnumbered the I'd Corps
two to one, and then see where Mcclellan is.
What good will it do for the copperheads to
sound their peace trumpet for Mcclellan? Do
they think of electing him to govern the Uni
ted States? Why do they want peace by let
ting the South have their independence. They
have no fighting to do, nor are they willing to
help the veterans in the field who are trying
to bring peace at the point of the bayonet.
We surely do not want them in the ranks with
us, or anything to do with them at all /; we can
put down the rebellion without their aid If
they wish to see the South victorious, why
uOH Iuey JUN ptCI AohnS, w WAL eAuo eo''S
them all they want. Poor sneaking, worthless
copperheads, unfit to possess home under
the starry banner that has protected their viii
famous heads so long.
Talk about soldiers voting for Mcclellan is
nonsense. We did not come out hore to fight
three years for our rights and then elect q
President like Mcclellan to give the South
their independence and allow US to return to
our homes, dishonored and disowned. What
Mcclellan did and accomplished during the
Peninsula campaign shows his qualities to be-
come ruler of the United States The Shovel
and Spade can never put down rebellion like
this. M fra ,F asrrsat
Men who have fought to save they country
and homes and the dear ones left behind, for
three years, cannot and wilI not vote for peace,
except it comes from an unconditional sur
render of the Southern armies and the Ameri-
can flag floats over the entire South, then will
we talk about peace.
Let the copperheads 60 to the men in the
trenches before Richmond, Petersburg, or any
other place, while under fire or otherwise, and
ask them how they would like to see McClel
Ian President. They will get information
from the stock of the gun quicker than from
the loyal soldier.
They can crow till the Sth of November
They must settle down to obey the laws of the
United States under the ruling hand of Abra
ham Lincoln, President of the United States
and the soldiers choice, for four years longer

A Pleasant Surprise.

Some ten days since a lady from the coun-
try wrote to Major Mann, Paymaster in the
U, S. A., inquiring if there was not some way
by which she could procure one or two months
pay, due her husband, who was prisoner OF
war.
Her husband had been a prisoner long
.he' dnring which she had received none OF
MS pay, and was in need of it.
mayor Mann prepared the necessary papers
anu forwarded them to her for her signature,
win such Instructions as were necessary to
make her applications accord with the orders
and regulations of the Department.
The papers were returned to him and wero
at once forwarded to Washington for nav ment
On Monday last the Major received check
payable to the order of this lady, for s1o2e %
which he at once forwarded to her.
No discount made to pay claim agents.
Major Mann's office is in Clapp's Block, and
he is ever ready to attend to all cases coming
Within his sphere of action.
