SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORLD.

WASHINGTON, October s.,
The intelligence from the front to day i:
quite different from what was generally
anticipated. Passengers by the boat state
that the incessant rains of the past three
days have effectually put an end to all
military operations for the present. There
has been no fighting on our left, or right
or in front of Petersburg, since last Satur-
day.
A rumor, which could not be traced to
any reliable source, and was probably un~
true, prevailed at City Point yesterday
that Gen. Sheridan's cavalry had formed a
junction with Grant on our right.
The troops on Chapin's farm have sc
curely fortified themselves against any re.
bel attacks, and will be able to maintain
their new position as base for future OPP
erations. All of eur wounded have been
removed from the field to the hospitals at
Bermuda Hundred and Fortress Monroe
The entire loss on our left is about two
thousand, and on our right about eighteen
hundred, or nearly four thousand in all.
1t would not be proper to speculate as to
what will Oe the next movement Of Gen.
Grants forces. -
1t is reported here that General Grant is
on the way to this city, though for what
reason is unknown. This would seem to
indicate that there will be no immediate
movement of the Army of the Potomac.

ELECTIONS will be held next Tuesday in
Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana. In the
first named State, members of Congress are
to be chosen, and in the other two, State
officers are to be voted for. Last fall the
Republican candidate for Governor was
elected in Pennsylvania by majority o.
about fifteen thousand: In 1862, the DEM
ocratic ticket was elected by about three
thousand. Last fall the Republican ticket
in Ohio was elected by about one hundred
thousand majority; in 1862, the State went
Democratic by about FIVE thousand. Iu
Indiana also, the Republican ticket was
elected last year aud the Democratic ticket
the year before.
The indications now are that a greater
change is taking place in the minds of the
people against the Republican party and
and its nominees, than there was in its fa>
vor last year. The Democrats will proba
bly, carry Pennsylvania this fall by, from ten
to twenty thousand majority. Gov.
BRouGH, of Ohio, said in speech The other
day, that If the Republican party brought
out all its strength, it would probably car.
~ the State bya majority of forty thousand
thus admitting Democratic gain Of sixty
Thousand.

Mcclellan Meeting To- Night
We are happy to announce that n. M
Grosos, ESQ, of Washington, Pa, will be
present and address the MCCLELLAN Ciut
At Washington Hall tonight. The simple
announcement of Mr.. GIBsoN's name Will
doubtless, be sufficient to crowd the bal!
and we would advise ell who desire to pros
cure seats, to 60 early. Mr.. GIBSON Is one
of the finest political speakers it has even
been our good fortune to hear, and We
promise rare treat to all who may attend
the meeting. j. L. JuDsoN, ESQ, OF Wash
iugton, will also, probably, favor as with q
speech. He is also an orator OF no mean
attainments. We hope the friends OF Con
s.itutional Liberty will turn out in force and
give fresh impetus to the cause OF
MCCLELLAN AND THE UNION.

Our SUFFERING AND DYING PRISONERS.
1t was announced few days ago in a dis
patch from Washington that President Linz
coin refused to receive the deputation from
the suffering and dying prisoners at Ander
sonville, Ca, sent to lay their grievances
before him. Thus the thousands of Door
fellows are left to their fate-except so
many of them as may obtain their liberty
through the efforts of such humane Gener-
ais as Sherman. Lincoln Can give audience
to negroes and turn the gardens Of the
White Houseinto play grounds for negro
picpics, but he will not see the soldiers who
approach him in behalf of suffering white
hulhanity and ask him to save the lives of
thousands of brave men '~

Lincoln's Offer to Mcclellan

The Boston Post says: Ell Postmaster
Blair confirms the report that the PresjA
dent offered to bring General Mcclellan
into the field as an adjunct of Gen. Grant
if he would decline the Chicago nomination!
Make him equal to the 1t. General if he
would not allow the people to make him,
superior, and choose him Commander in.
Chief of both army and navy; but General
Mcclellan preferred receiving his commits
sion from the citizens of the United States
to having it bestowed by Mr.. Lincoln, and
declined the polite offer. Could anything
more clearly expose the falsehood of the
Administration than this attempted bargain?
If Gen. Mcclellan is unworthy the conf>
dence Of the country from natural incapa.
city or from disposition, it would be base
act Of treachery for the President to place
him in command of our armies merely to
remove a rival from the path of his ambi-
ton; if he be worthy Of that command it is
equally treacberous to the country to re-,
fuse him the position his commission emit
ties him to. The President must swing upon
one or the other of these horns.

Another Convert to Mcclellan

Among the speakers at Mcclellan rat
ification meeting at Derby, Conn, few
evenings since, at which some three thou
sand persons we're present, was Mr.. Thomas
Burlock, who had never acted with the
Democratic party and had supported Lin
coin heretofore. He said:
What is the meaning of this great commo'
ton? Why is it that see on this occa.
sion this great sea of upturned faces? How
is it, fellow citizens, that you are here to-
night, after undergoing the fatigues of the
day, instead Of resting for the labors of the
soming week? 1t is because of the upheav
ing OF the people. 1t is because the people
Of this town and country are dissatisfied
with their rulers, and they come here to
render verdict against those rulers, and
to say to that greatest and most patriotic Of
Conventions, "You did your work we'll in

We Hope Not.
The Cairo correspondent of the st. Loui

The Cairo correspondent of the st. Louis
Republican says:
"The people of this place have read With
great interest the exposition of the reign Of
General Paine, which you republish from
the Louisville Journal. They are well sat
is6ed the half has not, and perhaps never
will be told. General Paine Informed one
of our citizens, after be had been relieved
that he had received long letter from
President Lincoln, heartily endorsing and
approving all he had done, and warmly com
mending him as the right man 10 the right
place People would do well to bear this
in mind when they read the narrowing evi
dence that will shortly be laid before the
country by the committee whose duty it is
to investigate the matter"
The atrocities of that nan PAINE are al
most too revolving for belief. When per
sous were brought before him by the pro
vest guard for examination, he frequently
without allowing them the slightest chance
of defence, and often for the most trivia
causes, ordered them to be shot. Nearly
fifty citizens of Paducah were thus muir
dered by this monster Even DAVID HUNrEF
assumes kind of respsctability in com
psrison with PAINE, and that is great dea
for as to say. His endorsement by LINCOLN
if il is true, is the worst thing LINCOLN ever
did-and that is saying q great deal, too
We hope, however, that PAINE lied about
the matter, and that LINCOLN never ap'
proved the savage brutality which charac-
terizsd the reign of the tyrant Of Paducah
LINCOLN has enough sins of own commits
sion to answer for without assuming those
of such brute as PAINE.

The New York T'ibuae recently pub
lished double-leaded editorial exhorting
members of both political parties to mu-
tnal courtesy and forbearance. 1t depre-
Gated all appeals calculated to call up q
mob spirit, or to awaken the baser passions
of the people. All this was very well but
its very next issue contained some Of the
meanest and most scurrilous attacks or
General MCCLELLAN and the Democratic
party which have ever dlsgraced its col
umns. 1t forgot all it's own counsels, and
rallied shamefully against all its opponents
This is fair specimen of the consistency
of the Tribune.
