duIgeth in this manner:

that Gen Sherman is ready to help, and

Really, the world will begin tolthink that

L OAMppEIr, ESQ, ST Louis. Sc q.

The Journal of Commerce gives the fol-
lowing plain words to a Lincoln man:
You profess to be DESTROYS of re-electing
Abraham Lincoln. You are acting with his
party. You are now surrounded by the
reckless voices of those who, in the heat OF
a political campaign, conceal truth, magni
fy falsehood, misrepresent history, and in>
dulge freely in prophecy. You forget
Yourself the utter contempt with which in
your heart youregard the conduct and abil-
ity of Mr.. Lincoln's Administration. You
shut out Of sight and memory his weakness,
his folly. his vulgar jokes, his terrible blum
ders. j You are now going to vote for him
Mark our words. If you should re elect
him you will blush for shame before one
year is over; and, if you are q patriot, you
would give all your fortune to recall your
-vote.-DeSE - &aG ~ Il So

The 4 White House Chinas..A
Rich Disclosure.

The New York World, in an article upon
the appropriations for the White House.
says: .;yTy ~.tnaU
I WslJ III % happened, I. the early part Of
Mr.. Lincoln's administration, that q bill wa
presented at Washington for payment, by
Messrs., Z. Y. Hsughwout & Co., of this
city, for = chins dinner service, furnished
by order sof Mrs. Lincoln, for the executive
mansion. The amount of the bill, as rem.
dered, was some twenty three hundred dol
lars. There was delay in payment. Messrs.
HAughwout q Go. sent one Of their princi.
pal men to the White House to push the
bill through and get the money. There
were still difficulties in the way, the ma
ture Of which could not for a long time be
ascertainsd. ,.7 a.1. s..,.sa
At last it was found that some clerk, who
had to pass upon the bill, delayed it because
Of the very unheard of price charged for an
American service of china. At length a
dealer from philadelphia was sent for to
examine the china and estimate it's value,
and the appraiser returned eight hundred
dolfarsas its full value, instead o 'twenty
tuISS uuuuESOs 4u0 SoSo dt last Cdul6 UclOTo
tho President, and the representative Of
Messrs. Haughwout i 90. was called and
confronted with the Philadelphia valuation.
"Why, Mr.. President, my firm never
pretended that the china was really worth
more than eight hundred dollars. W. had rea
son to suppose you knew that the difference
between the price of the china and the
amount marked in the bill is for articles
ordered for your private family use, but
% china for the White House."
Honest Abe was cornered and caught.
Like another very unfortunate man, dishon>
est in another. scandalous transaction, in
which he ives caught, he had "not q word
to say" Mr.. Lincoln at last paid the diff
ference out Of his OWE pocket, and Messrs.
Hsughwout & 90. got their money.
We may be In error by a few dollars one
way or the other as to the amounts in
question but if any loyal Republican,
who believes in the honesty Of Gold Abe"
doubts the general correctness of our state
ment, we refer him to Secretary Fessenden
or to Mr.. LincolR himself.

Take Courage.

The election returns come in very slowly
indeed, but enough is already known to
give much encouragement to the friends Of
MCCLELLAN and the Union. In both Penn.
sylvsnia and Ohio our friends have done
nobly, and, while we cannot say that they
have squalled our desires, we must confess
that they have fully come up to our expec
tations. In Pennsylvania, the result of the
home vote is not yet ascertained; small ma.
joritiss are claimed by each of the opposing
parties, but it is certain that Curtin's ma
jority of more than $4,000, last year, has
os<n a0iped out. The soldiers did not vote
In 1858, and their ballots this year ray
give to tbs aggregate Republican vote o
small majority. But in Novembsy a large
portion of the soldier vote will be cast for
''Little Mac" and, at the same time, the
home vote for McCLELLAN will certainly be
several thousands mere than has been cast
for the local Democratic nominees. Penn
sylvania Is thus certainto give her electoral
vote for MCCLELLAN and PENDLrros, ma,
king their election sure as fate. Every
lover Of his country should rejoice at tbi,
certain indication that a brighter day is
about to dawn upon our country.
But we must not let our earnest slacken
in view ofSthes victory that awaits US. Let
u the rather take fresh courage and adj
dress ourselves with new vigor to the task
Work, work, work increasingly until the
election day crowns our labors With COM
piste success. We have the right upon
our side aud we are sure to win. Let every
man exert his utmost influence and do his
best to make our success complete and over.
