LhooM ana Goneret ucClellan 10 being
pressed ts Disgrace to the enlightenment Of
our oouatry and source Of serious perm to
the public peace. The Lincoln papers assail
the character Of General Mcclellan with every
epithet Of obloquy. He Is denounced as
"gunboat general" coward" "traitor." and
90 forth. while ell the many thousand loyal and
gallant mon who support him csms in for .
liberal sprinklius Of the Same abolition dirty
water. The MoClelLan papers arc not behind
in the same unwholesoms and disgrsceful &C
Hvty- Not content with challenging the per-
sonal honesty 0 our national Chief Magistrate,
they have Of late. both thro ugh their daily and
weekly organs, put forth insinuations to the
discrsdit Of Mr.. Lineoln's wife, charging her
in ono instance with accepting bribes, and Ia
another with so~s' paltry peculatioa in .
crockery bill.
Unless these abominsble practices OF the
partisan press arc checked in Hme we shall mest
assuredly hays scenes Of violence before tbs
idea Of next November. This II revolutionary
period. aud tho minds Of men are inAamed BY
unwontedi passions. As to the attacks upon
Mrs. Lincoln. they only injure, and that seri-
ously. the side from which they emanate. She
has outlived and lived down. by her modest
courtesy and gentleness, the ISLANDERS with
| WHICH secession sympathizers at Washington
assailed her on her advent to the White House.
Let us fight it out as men. says General Sher-
man in bis recent pitby and characteristic let
ter to General Hood; and so will say oil de-
cent citizens in reference to these attacks upon
the matron and wife who is by national
comfy, the FIRST lady Of our land. We feel con
fident that General Mcclellan muss disapproye
this style Of warfare iu his behalf, and, how
ever reluctant he may be to interfere in such
matters, would suggest to him the proprety OF
giving his partisans hint to Improve their
manners.
AS to the attacks upon General Mcclellan
made by the Lincoln organs, they are foul and
disgraceful beyond any parallel in partisan
warfare Is it really the wish Of the Lincoln
papers to persuade the American people and
the world at large that every citizen who sup
ports General McClellan's claims to the Presi-
dency is at heart traitor desiring the disrup-
ton Of our Union and the success of the jeff
Davis conspiracy. Or how long do the chief
organs of this Lincoln faction believe that they
can with impunity pursue the work Of villifying
General Mcclellan As coward, "poitroon,"
TRAITOR aud so forth, In q city which will.
beyond any peradventure. cast from sixty to
eighty thousand votes in his favor at the next
election?
In the present nnamed aud revolutionary.
condition Of the public mind any spark may
serve to kindIe conhagration that will not be
extnguished without bloodshed. There will,
we fear, be attacks upon the offices of the
newspapers engaged in these scurrilous out
pourings and we shall have the misfortune
to see the editor Of one Lincoln organ sus-
pended on a lamppost at his own corner,
while the editor OF another Lincoln organ
keeps him company on the lsmppost oppo-
site. Every act OF violence thus committed
in the democratic metropolis will be re-
taliated in some one or other Of those rural
districts in which the Lincoln men are strong,
and, as the upshot of the whole scandalous
quarrel, the loyal States will be plunged into
riot anarchy and indiscriminate lynching.
These consequences we regard as inevitable
unless greater moderation of tone be imme-
diately evinced by the partisan writer's Of the
Lincoln aud Mcclellan press.
Everything Coming Down with .
Crash.
Gold has been coming down for several days
past and is now considerably below two hun
dred. Before long it must be at one hundred
and forty. which is about the Legitimate pre-
MUM. The prices of everything are coming
down with gold. Stewart has marked his
goods down to two hundred; but he must mark
them lower now that gold has again fallen.
Provisions are coming down. The butchers
and bakers are coming down. The tailors and
hatters aud shoemakers are coming down.
Those who want to buy should wait for the
crash. IL will soon come. Spectators and
, speculating merchants and speculating dealers
are beginning to come down, and the people
generally will be benefited. Everything is
coming down, and coming down with crash.
The reason OF all this is that the rebellion is
coming down. Early has come down already.
80 has Mobile, IL the current reports be true.
Grant will move presently, and then Lee will
come down Then Sherman will come down
on Hood like thunderbolt, and nothing will
be left Of she so-cslled confederacy but few
starved negroes, good deal of waste paper,
and the mortal remains Of JEFF Davis. Then
Macmillan will come down from the throne
now totterng upon French bayonets. Louis
Napoleon, who begins TO feel very weak, &C.
cording to the foreign correspondents, will
come down also. Lord Palmerston will come
down. with Earl Russell at his heels. We shall
have the Jack and Gill business all around.
A great many people, at home and abroad, on
thrones and Of thrones. at the North and at
the South, copperheads and aboltionists, bond
and free, white and black, will certainly come
down when the rebel rag 10 hauled to the
ground and the flag OF our Union goes up aud
