MAJOR GENERAL RosEcRAHs.
Major General W. s. Rosecrans is the
hero Of the first campaign in West Nir-
gnia, the battles of Iuka, Corinth, Muir
freesboro, and the campaign against Chat.
tanooga. His poitico- military record is
we'll known. Originally a Democrat, the
and his personal influence led the vast
! army opposition to Vallandigham and the
Democracy during the last Gubernatorial
election in Ohio. General Rosecrans,
With his brotheD Bishop Rosecrans, aud
Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, have
led the anti,slavcry Catholic sentimen. of
the West in opposition to the Democrat

allowing the soldiers to vote. His great
anti slavery letter is still fresh in memo
ry. lie is for Lincoln's re election
ADMIRAL FARRAGUT.
Admiral Farragut is the great naval
hero of the age. For his views upon the
question of peace, we commend the doub.
ting to his speeches in New York during
the Russian Adm,rafs visit He is an
earnest supporter Of tho Governmcn;
which has so ably sustained him, and,
withal, belongs to Tennessee, slave
State. New Orleans was not captured
by Farragut according to McClellsu's
plan.
MAJ)E GENERAL HOOKER.
Major General Hooker, undoubtedly
brave and able General, and often term
ed the "Ney' Of the army, is we'll,
known skeptic of General McClellan's
ability and policy. But for Mcclellan,
Gen. Hooker declared Richmond might
have been taken; and be concurred with
General Kearney in saying that the first
grand failure of the war was due to the
sheer iucapacity of General Mcclellan
There are no copporheads in the army"
said General Hooker before the Union
League of New York; "the soldiers will
fight well, and they will vote well olso."
At the beginning of the war Gen. Hook.
er was a Democrat.
MAJOR GENERAL KEARNEy.
Maj jor General Philip kearney was one
Of the real heroes of the campaigns. A
ssnsiemau OF wealth, uu ufIicer Of unri-
vailed education and experience, he gave
all his advantages and talents to the war,
and fell a martyr to his cause at the battle
of Chau,illy. His end was embittered
by the reflection that he fell a victim to
incapacity, which rendered the efforts of
brave men fruitless. In several we'll,
known letters he wrote home that the
campaign was "beiDg fought by drible,s,"
that the army was "under the control Of
imbscllity or something worse" and that,
soldier as he was, he could almost wish
he was back again to his quiet home III
New Jersey. One of his letters close
with the memorable declaration, II tell
you that Mcclellan is burnt out!" When,
after the battle of Malvern Hill, won
when General Mcclellan was on board the
gunboat, the order TO retreat to Harri-
sons Landing was received, Gen. kear
ney said:
II, Philip Kearney, an old officer, en-.
ter my solemn protest against this order
for retreat; We ought, Instead Of retreat
ing, TO follow up the enemy and take
Richmond. And in full view of all the
responsibility of such declaration, |
say to you all, such an order can only be
prompted By cowardice or treason"
General kearnoy was a staunch Dem
ocrat.
MAJOR GENERAL M'CALL.
Major General George A. Mccall, one
of the heroes of the Pcninsular campaign,
and the organizer and leader of the fa-
nous Pennsylvania Reserves, democrat
ic candidate for Congress two years ago),
declared in recent letter:
II now believe, as | ever have beiev-
ed, that it the Union is worth preserv-
ing, it is worth the prosecution of the war
to a successful conclusion With regard
to tho conduct of this war, cannot say
that have approved or would now in

ministration; but regard any Admins.

MAJOR GENERAL BUTLER.
Major General Benjamin Butler, one
of the most able and distinguished Breck,
inridge Democrats at tho outbreak Of the
war, has never allowed any doub: as to his
patriotic position. In his latest express
sion ho sa;s:
"Can it be that any true man, especi-
