THE REBELS PAROLING MCCLELLAN
VOTERS.

Quite number of our men in rebel hands
have been paroled and sent home, with no ap-
parent reason why they should be favored rath-
er than other prisoners. And lately they have
sent through the lines several hundred deserters
from our ranks. Il has come out that they are
sending home Mcclellan voters, and doing it
systematically. They consider a vote for Nc
Clellan worth more to their cause than the de-
tentiOn of a Yankee prisoner. E. III. Coates
stated, i'll speech in Philladelphia the other
night, that a relative of his had recently been
parOled by the rebels on his promise to vote for
Mcclellan. The account he gives is that the
Richmond authorities caused an examination TO
be made Ofall the prisoners OH Belle Isle learn
which party they belonged to. Such as declared
for McClellanswere par0Ied; Those for Lincoln
removed further south. But most Of our men
had got an idea of what was going on, and an
swered questions accordingly. The examina-
ton was made after this fashion,
swell, Yank, how do you feel to-day?" "Not
very well. / wish was out of here. Il sup
pose you do; you would like to be home to vote
for Lincoln next November, wouldn't you2"
mo, sir. 1t is true would like to be home to
vote, but not for Lincoln. If it were not for
him, would not be here to-day, "And who
would you vote for, pray if not for Lincoln?"-
"I'd vote for Little Mac the man that would
put a stop to this war at once, and settle the
matter for ever" What is your name, young
MANI 'R. @, W.-----sir. . "All right; I'll
see if l can't have you paroled and sent home
to your friends.
The same thing substantially is told and
sworn TO by Franklius sSchwenk, of Company H,
18th Pennsylvania cavalry, just paroled and re-
turned from Richmond. His story IS
THAT, on the last day of August 1864, the
director of said hosital general hospital No. 81
in Richmond) waited on him, and proposed to
parole him and to permit him to return home
ifhe would promise to vote for George B. Nc
Clellan at the approaching election; that be The
said franklin Schwenk, 10 order TO escape from
starvation aud rebel atroeity, did make said
PROMISE and therefore was parOled. The said
Franklin Schwenk further says, under his sol
emn oath, that all prisoners of said hospital.
who frankly and positively said they would
vote for Abraham Lincoln, were not paroled but
retained in said hospital.
Such facts as these carry their own comment.
That the rebel leaders are heartily interested
aud earnestly at work for McClellan's election,
there can be no further -Springticld Re-

THE GUSBOAT-MoRE TESTIMONY.

THE eGONDUAI-uOAE TESTl4UN1s
VIM. D. Bickham the able editor of the Day
ton Journal, was the Potomac Army correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial during the
Peninsula campaign. The following from the
Dayton Journal is his positive testimony on the
gunbOat question. How do the Cops like it?
Among the most astounding facts in this
war is McClellan's reply to the Committee on
the Conductof tine War, when asked if he was on
a Gunboat in James River, during the battle of
Malvern Hill. He said-'I do not rememberl'
Every member of his staff knows that he was
The writer Of this paragraph saw him leave the
irOn-clad Galena in the evening of that day
The battle had been raging long time Nc
Clellan passed so close under the stern of the
steamer James Brooks, while approaching the
shore, that we could have pitched copper into
his boat. We shall never forget the look of
scOrn which two British ofiicers-whO had been
McClellan's guests s-exchanged as they saw him
passing. They knew that it was his duty to be
with his heroic army. They were disgusted to
see the Commander-in Chief so far away from
danger when duty and manhood required his
presence. Mcclellan on gunboats during the
battle of Malvern Hill was the meanest picture
that this bloody rebellion has painted.

THE LATE ADVANCE SUFFOLK.
A Severe eFight-Confederate Loss 65-Fed.



FORTRESS MONROE, March 12-The particu.
lars OF the recent advance on Suffolk are as
follows On the 9th instant al advance was
made on Suffolk by the I'd colored cavalry, Col.
Cole. The colonel, with seven companies, ad-
yanced on the southern road, Lieut. Col Pond
with two companies, being In the advance, and
Lieut.. Snyder, with one company, moved for
ward On the South Quay road. Lieut.. Snyder
hrst encountered the enemy, consisting of Ran.
SONS entire brigade Of infantry, cavalry, and
artillery, Ransom commanding in person.
Lieut.. s. sent courier to Col. Cole who i'm
mediately went to his assistance and met the
enemy at Suffolk, where severe fight, lasting
one hour, took place.
Col. Cole shot the commander of the rebel
cavalry and attempted to cover the retreat of
Lieut. Col. Pond, but the enemy, with superior
numbers, intercepted him, forcing him to retire
across the Jericho canal, where he rallied his
force. Lieut.. Col. Pond came mp the Southern
road, attacking the enemy in the rear, and Col
Cole in front, thereby cutting their way through
the enemy's ranks and saving their command
Deserters say the enemy had 65 men killed
Our loss IN killed. wounded and missing was
only 20.
Lieut.. Van Lew, of the Cd colored cavalry.
was killed. Lieut. Col Pond had his horse
shot under him. Our troops behaved most
courageousiy Benz. Hunt, bugler of Company
a, went into the fight, killing several OF the
enemy. The rebels retreated and are now
across the Blackwater, evidently expecting
that we had relnfOrcements near at hand, which
was the case. Gen. Hickman, with his cem.
mand, arrived ut Suffolk as promptly as the
cars could convey them. Our forces now hold
the place.
