1t is interesting to note the growth Of
the railway interest of the United States.
From 1926 to 1929 there were but three
miles of railway in the country. On the
1st of January, 1884, there we're 1872 miles
in 1874 the number had increased to 4, 311
miles; in 1854 to 1862. miles and on
the 1st of January, 1864, the amount OF
completed railway had grown to 1850
miles, with 5000 mere miles in progress.

How ANDY JOHNSON WOULD DEAL WITH
TRAIroRs-From the first outbreak of the
rebellion, Andy johnson placed himself on
the side of the Union. When others proved
false, h. remained true; when Others faltercd
he stood firm. He did not wait for "instruc-
tions." It was sufficient for him to know
that traitors were endeavoring to overthrow
the Government, and that they must BE- met
and crushed. In his famous reply to Senator
Lane, of Oregon when asked what ne would
do were he President of the United States. he
said: "The distinguished Senator asks me
what 1 would do with the rebels were Pres
ident of the United States. would have
them arrested, would have them tried. and
if found guilty, by the Eternal God would
have them executed" A man pervaded by
such purpose can b. safely trusted. His
loyalty will stand any strain that circumstan-
ces cah subject it to.

Who First Urged . Dram :

In history Of the Administration Of Mr.
Lincoln. by Mr.. Henry j. Raymond, just
published in this city. we find letter which
". commend to the attention of the sdher-nts
of General Mcclellan who have % violently
opposed drafting to fill the armies. 1t was
written to the President OF the United States
about a month after the battle Of Bull Run.
and at time when citizens were rushing to
arms all over the country. and when volun-
teers were pouring into Washington from cv-
cry State. Here IS the letter:
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. 1861.
Sir have just received the enclosed dis
patch in cypher. Col Marcy knows what he
says. and is of the coolest judgment. lrec-
ommend that the Secretary of War ascertain
at once. by telegram, how the enrolment pro-
cerds in New York and elsewhere, and that.
if it is not proceeding with great rapidity.
drafts be made a: once. We must have men
without delay.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
GEORGE b. Mcclellan.
Major General U. S. A.
The following is the dispatch of Col. Marcy
alluded to:
Iurge upon you to make positive and un-
conditional demand for an immediate draft Of
the additional troops you require. Men will
not volunteer now, and drafting is the only
successful plan. The people wW applaud
such course, rely upon it. will be in
Washington tomorrow. H. Is. MARCY.
We do not find these dispatches in the re-
port of General Mcclellan. They were
doubtless omitted through some inadvertance.
But we cannot help thinkingi it pity that the
General had not, last July, made public this
letter. and urged upon that portion of the peo-
ple with whom he is said to have some infiu-
ence, as forcibly as he did upon the President
two years before, the necessity Of draft and
its expediency.
We hope this war may be closed without
the necessity of another draft; but should 1t
BE- required by the exigencies Of the country
the public will. WI presume. find Gen. Nc
Clelian among the first TO urge it upon the pro'
pl- aud The Government.-N Y. EUentng
Post.
Unfortunately for this conclusion. Littulmak
can't do it. The peace men have it incorpo-
rated in the bill OF sale that he shau't do any
such thing. One resolution even proposes
sending commissioners to "LincoIn"-not
President Lincoln or even Mr.. Lincoln-to
ask him to suspend the draft! What can
the Young Napoleon" do amidst such break
ers: The peace men are growing daily more
discusted with their candidate, aud the
compromise" of placing war man upon a
peace platform. How do they know but what

The Mcclellan Club.

This treasona Bile organization is draw
ing on itself = mountain Of odium
which win crush it to the earth and rem
der it stink in the Hostrils Of the peo-
pie" Evidences are accommodating to
this end, and before the election the
members will be anxious to make aft
davit that they have never belonged
to this back kitchen Of the order Of the
Knights of the Golden Circle.
The Mcclellan Club is reasonable. In
proof Of this we cite its connections with
the disloyal order called Sons Of Lib
eriy," which we gave an expose Of in
yesterdays Daily. Other evidences of
this connection abound, for instance the
fact that it is always closed except to
the initiated, and that its secrets are
guarded with anxious care, and also, the
fact that G. w Mcbride, prominent
member of the treasonable order before
mentioned, is understood to be president
Of the Club
The Mcclellan Club is audacious, and
grasps after the political control Of the
county. Witness the County ticket that
it has issued from its dark and impure
recesses, claiming support for it on the
ground that it is simon-pure Demo
cratic ticket, and expecting honest PEG
pie to vote for it. The ticket is printed
every day at the editorial head Of the
Times, and Is avowedly the offspring of
the Mcclellan Club so, this Club su-
percedes conventions Of the people, and
insolently dictates to citizens for whom
they shall vote and for whom they shall
not vote.
The Mcclellan Club has stultifed it.

Messrs. Allen and Niblack for a joint
canvass of the District except in Du-

ready canvassed. Col Allen will go
through that county while Mr.. Niblaek
is at the Chicago Convention. The bills

day, Sundays excepted" from this time
until the election, and also after night
when possible. Four weeks will be de-
voted to Posey, vsnderburgh, Warriek,
and Spencer counties.
