Eurnside's EulOgy of Mcclellan

have known General Mcclellan most init
mately as students together, as soldiers in the
field, and as private citizens. For years we
nave lived IN the same family, and l know him
as well as know any human being on the face
OF the earth, and know that no more honest,
conscientious man exists than Gen. Mcclellan.
l know that no feelings of ambition, beyond
that OF the success of our cause, ever enters his
breast. All that he does is with single eye,
single view to the success of the government
and the breaking down of this rebellion. I
know that nothing under the sun will ever in.
duce to swerve from what he knows to be his
duty. He is an honest, Christian like and con-
scientious man and let me add one thing, he
has the soundest head and the clearest military
perception of any man in the United States.

The Germans in St. Louis must be pref
ty angry about these times. The Anzei-
ger says:
The Lincoln party has ceased to exist
amongst the Germans of st. Louis. The
great violator of the Constitution, and
still greater butcher of men, Lincoln, who
neither can carry on war nor wants to lis
ten to peace; the destroyer ofthe country,
who remains unmoved in the face of the
greatest misery, and who can crack Jokes
like Nero while Rome is burning-this
stupid and heartless man, whom the people.
in an unhappy hour, to their everlasting
disgrace and misfortune, put at the head
of this republic-this so called honest. bat
in reality, out and out hypocritical, Abra,
ham Lincoln, has no party amongst the
Germans of st. Louis.
