George IL. Mcclellan.

From The Louisville Journal Of Saturday.
There is no more honored name among
the great living warriors and statesmen OF
our country than that borne by the gentle
man who has Just been defeated in the race
for the Presidency. lie was submerged
beneath a sea of falsehood, vilification, and
detraction, such as we hope never to see
again in our political contests. He is de-
feated, but his record is unstained by one
speck of dishonor. On last Saturday night
there was great display in the city OF New
York in his honor. An immense torch
light procession took place, the post of honor
in which was awarded to the Mcclellan
LEGION" composed of returned veterans,
and eight or ten carriages contained the
manned who had fought under him. The
route passed the hotel at which the General
was stopping, and The Journal OF Commerce
says, surrounded by large number of our
eminent citizens, he received the greatest
ovation ever offered to a son of America,
and those who watched his face especially
marked the emotion with which he heard
the touching and eloquent shouts of the
soldiery of the LegiOn-the men of many
battle fields for the Union that he so loves.
"Dear General" "Oh, General" "God bless
you, General" "Come back to us, General"
"George, George" and a hundred other
cries Of affectiOnate devotion, rang in his
ears as the long procession of wounded
MANNED veterans passed through the dense
crowd i'm front of him. That they love
him. no one who stood there could doubt,
and even the people ratified the testimonial.
History will do him justice, and when par
tisan rancor has subsided that Justice will
be speedily awarded.

Rebel Accounts So. The Campaign
Ended.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch, Nov. 81
PETERSBURG, VA, Nov. 8, 1864.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch, Nov. 81
PETERSBURG, VA, Nov. ., 1864.
The campaign of '64, in my opinion, has
ended. There may be few more recon-
noissances, dash, or sally, but the stub
born fighting is over; and Petersburg and
Richmond, after an unparalleled expendi-
ture of blood and treasure, are safe-still
unreduced by the enemy.
The army hereabouts are preparing for
the winter. The men in the trenches must
suffer good deal, though they are fixing
themselves up as comfortable as possible
In the rear, the quartermaster, commissary,
ordnance and medical departments are
making themselves comfortable. Houses
are being built and everything gotten ready
for the Snow King when he shall, as he
must, ere long, proclaim truce.
The army Mt this time is well fed, the an
imals are well foraged. and the Transports
tion is all in excellent condition. The
troops, too, are well supplied with good,
substantial clothing, and, believe, are all
well shod. The Government seems to be
doing better than ever before, so far as
taking care of the army goes.
The quartermaster, commissary, ordnance
and medical departments have been cleared
of all able bodied men except teamsters,
and they are being gradually relieved by
negroes. These bombproOfs number some
four to five thousand and are valuable ac-
cession to the sighting department" OF
General Lees army.

a xYnrd in senson.

We cordially indore the following time
ly and just paragraphs from the New lork
World
The heartless insincerity, during the late
campaign, of the Republican press IN their
wholesale charges upon the Democratic par
Nv OF treason, sympathy with the rebellion,
dis,nionism, and what infamy not, Is DEM
onstrated by their utterances since the cam
paign. Gen. Mcclellan, after all, Is Union
man, good General, and patriot. The
Democratic party really is at heart for the
Union at all hazards. This Is the burden of
the chorus to which the Abolition organs
are now attuned. We leave the readers of
those Journals to measure the compliment
10 their intelligence and integrity which
this rctraction of two months of persistent
SANDER implies. But we put in protest
right here against the impudent assump-
tion of these same Journals that the appeals,
assertions, and arguments OF the Democra-
CIV have been rs heartless as their own. We
have absolutely nothing to retract, nothing
to qaalify,notlling to attenuate. Mr.. Lincoln
we still believe to be what we have pro-
claimed him to be. The leaders of the Re-
publican party and their principles we still
believe to be what we have tried to per-
suade the people that they are; and the
events of the next four years will prove 1t.
The difference between the ideas of the
Republican and the Democratic party is
still heaven-wide, antagonistical, irrecon-
cilable. The men and the ideas of the Re-
publican party will drive the nation to a
disunion peace. The Democratic party
would have restored Union and peace.
The Republican party has as utterly re-
fused Cancellation or compromise to the
Democratic party as it has to the South. It's
utterly inadequate to thepolitical situation,
for it repudiates the only policy by which
the North can be united or the South di-
vided. In the greatest convulsion OF mod
ern times, Mr.. Lincoln and his advisers
scorn to administer government so as to
command the confidence, represent The
ideas, or conciliate the support OF the mass
es even of the North. They are content to
please and to represent in their policy the
mere faction of mere majority. If sue
cess in restoring the Union be impossible
to men who represent the average of the
Republican party, how hopelessly impossi-
BILE is success 70 the men and the ideas of its
most radical fraction. Some glimpse of this
truth begins to be caught by the RARubli-
can leaders, and they are anxious to define
the duty of the Democratic party. They
have quite enough to do to take care OF the
duty of the Republican party, and we advise
the expenditure of their energies in that
direction.

FriShtful Murder Of Three Fed
eraI Officers.
From The Louisville Journal, Nov. l2.l

From The Louisville Journal, Nov. l2.l
A scene of the vilest turpltude occurred
at or near Greenton, Lafayette county, Mis-
souri,, on the evening of the 1st inst, the
fiendish murder of three Federal officers.
AS the S9th regiment Indiana volunteer
infantry, 1st brigade, Sd division, 10th army
corps, marched through the place en- route
for Glasgow, three officers, Major Samuel
Henry, Assistant Surgeon John p. Porter,
and Lieutenant Harles Ashley, Quartermas-
ter, all of the S9th regiment. halted at
house near the road and asked for dinner.
The lady told them that she had nothing
cooked, but that if they could wait she
would soon have warm dinner gotten for
them. The officers consented to wait. A
half hour or more expired in preparing the
dinner, during which time the command
had marched on and had got well nigh out
of sight, when these officers had finished
their meal, left the house for their horses,
hitched at the fence near by, where they had,
upon going into the house, left their arms
hanging to the pommel of their saddles.
Before they had reached their horses, three
men in Federal uniform dashed up on horse
back between them and their horses and
arms, ordering them to surrender. The Off
GERS at rstregarded itasa joke, in which the
Doctor, still putting his pipe, attempted to
join; but upon cooked revolvers being pre-
sented to their heads, they too late discov-
cred that they were at the mercy of fiends
whose hands were stained with human
blood and whose garments were fringed
with white mems scalps. After their SUR
render they were taken to the woods, short
distance from the road, where they were
most frightfully murdered and robbed.
They were all three shot through the head.
On the ID inst. their bodies were found and
brought to Lexington by citizens. On the
Sd inst. they were buried with military hon
ors in the city cemetery and in good metallic
collins, so that their friends can easily trans
fer their bodies. -a

A Fair Election.

's' A dispatch from Cairo to the Associated
Press, printed yesterday, contains the fol-
lowing precious piece of information in re-
gard to the election in Tennessee:
'.The vote of Memphis was-Iincoln 1904.
Mcclellan 1923; which was informal and
rejected"
Tho obsequious tools of ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN thought it probable that the vote Of
Tennessee would be necessary to elect I'm
coin, and this is the way they intended to
accomplishit. MCCLELLAN received in that
city 2,623 votes, majority of one thousand
lover LINCOLN; but the Federal officials who
rule Tennessee as a fief of the Abolition
party, pronounced this vote ''informal," and
of course threw it out, while the vote for
LINCOLN was formal and. allowed to
pass. Despite ANDY JoHNsoN's infamous
: and despotic oath, nearly three thou
sand votes were polled in the city of Mem
phisagainst the ticket he was on. They were
''informal" votes, of course; anything against
LINCOLN and JOHNSON must necessarily be
informal in the eyes of those worthless. The
election In Tennessee was something more
than farce--it was crime, for which LIN
coin and his tool JOHNSON will deserve the
denunciations Of history, even though they
were a thousand times elected to the highest
offices in this country.
We have in this election in Tennessee an
instance of the success of a war Of shbju-
cation. The Administration does not con-
slider community loyal until it is willing
to vote the Abolition ticket. The Federal
army has occupied Memphis more than two
years, yet at the end of that time it is dis
covered that two-thirds of its people refuse
to establish their loyalty by voting for loyal
candidates. At this rate OF progress, will
some Abolition mathematician tell how
many years will be required to make the
whole South loyal?

POPULAR MAJoRITIEs.-The Administra-
tion papers are claiming that the result OF
the late election isan overwhelming popular
Endorsement of Mr.. Lincoln's policy. Is
no such thing. The overwhelming popular
majority does not exist. In many of the
States the vote is close, and it is doubtful
whether the Republican majority on the
popular vote of all the States entitled to
participate in the election is more than 2O0,-
900, if it is that much. Allowing that the
vote of these States is as large as that cast
by them in 1860, the total vote at that time
being 3,754,770. Mr.. Lincoln's majority, es-
timating it at the figure given above, is only
five and one-half per cent. of the whole
vote, and is likely to be less than that.
When the immense efforts employed to Sc
cure Mr.. Lincoln's reelection are consider
ed, the majority obtained by him must be
regarded as small indeed, and anything but
strong popular Endorsement of the policy
of the Administration.

The Barber Poet.

Jaques Jasmin, the famous Gascon poet,
died recently at Agen, his native town, aged
sixty-six. His grandfather was beggar,
his father hump-backed tailor. A priest
educated him, but destiny made him bar
ber; and ON bright blue flag, bordered
with gold, in crossing the street near the
entrance of the Promenade du Gravier, at
Agen, might be read the words, ''Jasmin,
coiffeur." This hairdresser, whose poetical
reeitations were worth all the talk of the
whole of his fraternity, who never refused
to perform the usual duties of his trade,
and never denied his humble origin, re-
ceived, in his time, laurel crown Of gold
from st. Clemence Isaure, Toulouse; gold
cup from Auch; gold watch, chain and
seals from Louis Philippe; an emerald ring
once worn by the Kings lamented heir, the
Duke of Orleans; and personal c0mpli-
ments from high and low. In 1910 Jasmin
went to Paris to recite his poems, and he
obtained-it is understood through the late
Duchess of Orleans-a pension of 1000
francs from NJ. de Salvandy, the Minister of
the Interior. He also received, shortly af-
terward, the Cross of the Legion of Honor,
but declined to accept any employment
which would take him away from his
"Sweet South and his hairdressing busi-
ness. He Travelled from town to town of
LDe DOubn IcCibiiiB lis PoOuy INV ou ohSiOho
troubadour. II am indeed a troubadour,"
he once said In the innocence of his heart,
"but am far beyond them ALL they were
but beginners; they never composed a poem
like my 'Francouneto.' Jasmin was a
great reciter-an improvisatore of passion
ate gestures and extraordinary play of
feature--and evidence of his talents in this
respect is afforded in a very interesting
account which was given of an inter
view with him in the "Bearn and the Py-
renees, of Miss Costello, who, in that work,
gave English versions of several of his
poems. Il am accused Of vanity" he ex-
claimed on the occasion of this interview,
shut 1 am a child Of nature, and cannot
conceal my feelings; the only difference be-
tween me and man of refinement is, that
he knows how to conceal his vanity and ex-
ultation of success, which ] let everybody
see.n Jasmin was, in short, extremely
vain, full of Southern passionateness of q
somewhat childish character; but he was O
kind-hearted worthy man, who never dis
claimed his origin, but whose pride 1t was
to have been able to support his parents;
who was never above "frizzling hail" as was
said of him, though he wore the Legion Of
Honor; and who always was kindly and
charitable to those whom he never refused
to own as his brethren-the poorest OF the
| poor. ne al- VI -3s4-af fsfli

The Right Spirit.

To honest OppOnents-those who really
believed that the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln
would imperil the liberties of the country,
and who, believing it, labored earnestly and
ceaselessly to compass his defeat we have,
we can, and do extend a brothers hand, and
withit goes our sympathy. Toerr in judg-
ment upon measures, and especially politi-
cal ones looking to future policy, is but
human. AL of us stand in the category of
humanity in that particular. But when we
have each done our best and stand approved,
by our own judgment and conscience, we
can cheerfully leave the great issues settled
yesterday to the unfoldings of the future.
Administration Paper Of NOv. 9u.
I'VE are most happy to quote the above
paragraph from an Administration paper
published in one Of the Eastern cities, as
breathing the spirit of true patriotism. 1t
is so different from The Journals article in
which it invokes LINcoLN's vengeance on
the Democracy, that the contrast is
really refreshing. We are not of those
who believe it right in the heat of
political conflict to falsify the position
or misrepresent the purposes of others.
1t has never been our creed, that the political
speaker or the political editor was entitled
to do that on the stump or through his col
umns, which he would blush to do in the
ordinary intercourse of social life. The pro-
fame heresy, that the end justiies the
means, has never received any favorable
recognition from us. n
Ifin anything intelligence and conscience
should rule, and upon which the calmest
decisions of the intellect should be brought
to bear, it is, in our view, those political
questions which affect, and necessarily
most yitally affect, the welfare, not to say
the liberty, Of the people. While we can
not bring our reason to accept the bright
anticipations of our Republican brother
who wrote the paragraph at the head of
this article, in view of the result of the
late Presidential election, we shall
be quite as happy as he, to find
our fears unreal, and our doubts
s'the baseless fabric of dream" whatev-
er may be in store for our country in the
future, leteyeryspan ''hope on, hope ever"
and faithfully perform his every duty; and
among these duties, not the least is, to
strengthen the bonds of Neighborhood, as
of National Union. Let the spirit of Love
supplant the spirit Of Hate among our peo-
pie; let brethren once more dwell together
in unity.

STRONG PRESSURE FOR THE REMOVAL OF
SECRETARY STANToN-The Pennsylvania
Republican leaders have resumed their raid
on the President and insist upon the sup
preston of Stanton in the Cabinet kitchen
as sine qua non of their support OF the Ad-
ministration hereafter. They want Gen.
Butler and represent that Pennsylvania
particularly, and the country generally,
will not be satisfied until the change is
made. Pennsylvania will persist that she
has a right to be heard until her wishes are
acCeded to.
