From the New York Herald
Ign9rante in Inexnected Places.

We were very much astonished by the in
dlcatlon given in General McClel an re-
cent speech that he had never heard of
General Grant General Mcclellan, as
the majority of our readers know, is the
candidate of the Chicago Convention for
President and that Convention In its plat
form proclaimed its sympathy with our
army and navy. Its candidate Is therefore
expected to give expression to that sym
pathy II his speeches, and this General
Mcclellan is understood TO have done at
Orange. He spoke of Sheridan, Sherman
and Farragut; bat he very strangely
omitted the greatest Of all--General Grant
the man who certainly, by General
Me lie .lan's example, is entitled to praise
and glory, not only for his own particular
achievements, but for the achievements of
all the others; for when General Mctiel-
Ian occupied the position that General
Grant now occupies all the victories, East
and West, North, South and everywhere,
were his. He claimed this, and the coun-
try admitted it. But, whether or no Gen
eral Nice elan ever heard of the existence
OF this General Grant, we can assure hlm
that 1t Is the universal opinion OF the reo-
pie OF this country that there Is such a
man. 1t is believed that this General
fought a great battle at Fort DoneIson
quite early in the war, and achieved a
great victory there, capturing fifteen thou
sand prisoners 1t is asserted that he
captured the rebe stronghold OF Nicks-
burg, with forty thousand prisoners, and
gained a great bait at Chattanooga in
the same year 1t is positive y known
that he has fought great battles and been
able TO move his army next day. There
is, indeed, one reason that has tended to
keep him outof sight; he has never made
any great noise in the papers with com
! plants against the bad treatment of the
administration. Yet, in spite of this, his
name is in q | the histories Of the war
How is it that General Mcclellan should
not have met with. it in his reading lately
He has had nearly two years of leisure.
What has he been at?

Letter from Prairie du Chen.
October 2, 1864

My dear Major-
The draft progresses quietly and with
out excitement Our friends the loops"
begin to appreciate the fact that the draft
is no joke, and is as remorseless as death.
the consequence is such 4 rafting of the
dry bones has not been heard or seen since
the vision the prophet saw in the valley.
Our beloved friends of your city were
the first to lay aside their blatherskite and
to discover that it was easier to f the
city's quota than to resist the draft and
''die on their own doorstep or hearth,
thereby polluting those sacred fragments
of former geologic period with the san
culinary effusion from the opened veins Of
the protectors and defenders of individual
freedom Next came Shullsburg begging
for time to Fl up and telling US they had
raised the money and would get the men.
Time was given and l have no doubt the
men will be forthcoming
Lastly, "Oh tell it not in Washington
and let it not be heard in the Union
Leagues lest the uncircumscribed rejoice
and flout the chi dren ofJefcrson Davis"
Benton and New Diggings are down on
their marrow bones to Uncle Samuel
most detested agents, the Board Of Enrol
ment, and have sent delegations, praying
for time, crying ''pecavi," "pecavi," give
US a little time and we too will fill our
Ehap 1iIa
Their cry is as alas ! for Us faithful
and true ''dimicrats," for 10! the agents
and minions of the balloon, who rules in
Washington, those whose Head Quarters
are beside the river, ezen the great river,
the "Massissip," have commenced to draft
our town; and now If we who are drafted,
answer not the call and raise not our arms
to strike with mortal blows our brothers
who are fighting for our great father, even
Jefferson Davis they will make another
| draft upon our town, and if need be still
another, until there will be no man left
who is not drafted And verify we shall
be- compelled to fight our southern broth
rem or skedaddle to Cana "a, leaving our
houses desolate. Now, therefore, we viii
listen no more to those who have led US
astray, coanselling US to resist the draft,
and who now mock at our calamity. Lol
therefore we will deposit our shekels of
gold and silver, and of greenbacks, and
we viii fill our towns quota, and live at
home and not die or skedaddle We will
on the river, even the great river Massis-
sip, who will speak comfortably to the
agents Of Abraham Lincoln the usurper
who rules at Washington, and we viii beg
for time and we will get the men required
Of us; for is it not better to do SO than to
die or to skedaddle? And they did so

not already exist in the United States, we
would like to know what constitutes war.
1t is true there had as yet been no battles
fought, and for the reason that Mr. Blu
c,lanaA the then head of the Democratic
party, did not believe in eoercing the South
into an obedience to the laws Had he
taken the advice Of Gen Scott, the rebel
lion would have been quelled in the bud
and the South been required to submit to
the legal authorities of the country before
they had taken possession of all the forts
and arsenaIs of the southern states.
Fort Sumpter was bombarded on the
18th of April, forced to surrender on the
18th, and evacuated on the 18th 1t was
not until this last named date that Presi-
dent Lincoln issued his first call to put
down the rebellion
In what way, then, we ask, was the adj
ministration responsible for the Inaugural
ton Of the war that has cost so much blood
and treasures

Major General John 4. Logan had
most iattering and brilliant reception here
to-day. \ large number Of our citizens
met a the Wigwam, and preceded by the
Springfield American Band, repaired to
the depot. The train was nearly an hour
behind time By the time it arrized, not
withstanding the rain, an immense crowd
had congregated at the depot who received
the distinguished soldier with cheer or
cheer A Major Generals salute was fired,
under the direction of Colonel Crowell, Of
the Arsenal, and the band played Hail
to the Chief" Hail Columbia" and other
appropriate airs.
General Logan, accompanied by Gene
raj Haynie, was received by the Governor,
Auditor Dubois, Secretary Hatch, and
other prominent citizens, and escorted to
the carriage in waiting In its passage
thrOu h the streets, the procession was
loudly cheered while many among the
large crowd Of officers and soldiers crowd
ed around the carriage to shake the hand
Of the General
When the procession arrived at the
South door Of the Court House, the crowd
had increased to q large concourse, to
whom the Governor, in a neat and appr0-
pirate speech, introduced the General IN
the name Of the people of the State, in
most felicitous manner, to which General
Logan very happily replied;
lie said there were but two parties in
the country at the present time. that com
posed of loyal men, and that composed of
traitors. The party of which Mr. Lincoln
was the acknowledged head was the loval
party, and he was for that party He

gagged. because he di3 not like Mr. Lincoln
or some particular act Of his. traitor to
his country. He said he was called a
traitor, not to his country, but to title

If that was to be traitor, he thanked God
that He had made him one. and he would

of his death.

and the two SevmouTs. He was for Lin
coin and the Union against such men and
all the traitors and rebels with whom thew
sympathized and to whom they gave aid
and comfort.
Such was the purport Of his speech, the
full effect of which, and the peculiar pow
er with which it was deht cred it Is inn
possible for me to gle.
At its close he was greeted with three
hearty and enthusiastic cheers. \ num-

Mr. NALLANDIGHAMs Gown FAMILIAR
FRIEND. '-iu speech at Sidney, Ohio,
Nallandigham thus announced that he
shou support Mcclellan:
''Ihat there may be no misrepresentation,
let me say to you that intend to rote on
the Sth Of November, and meantime to
support, according to the measure Of my
zeal and ability, the nominees of the Chi
cago Conyention-George b. Mcclellan
and George II. Pendleton. Speaking thus
distinct upon that point, | am here to
discuss, not the personal qualifications Of
the gentlemen named-OHc Of achOm is my
0lcn tamiliar .frieRd-but to discuss Deiu-
ocratic principles.
And then he went on to say that Gen
Me- el ans letter made no difference, and
was Of no more Importance than any other
indi idual's letter He said:
They are the private opinions, if you
please, Of Gen. McCleI an, which he has q
perfect right to entertain and publish. ],
having an equa and perfect right to dissent
from them do reject them
II not only entertain the opinions ex-
pressed in the Chicago PLATFORM but | r.
cognize that p atiorm as containing the
law and the prophets of the Democratic
party.
Mr. Vallandigham is Of the opinion that
the Democratic church is ruled by the
" aw and the prophets" notwithstanding
the private opinions Of the priest who
ministers the sacrifice.
