GunbONt Mcclellan.

| evidence is not lacking in regard to
the whereabouts of Gen. Mcclellan dur
ing the battle of Malvern Hill. If Gen.
McClellan's own memory is singularly
! feeble in this instance, that of other peo-
pie is clear and satisfactory. But the
case does not rest Oh any mans memo
ry. The daily journal kept by ward
room officer Of the gunboat Galena, on
which Geu. Mcclellan sought shelter, is
minute and circumstantial in its de-
scription OF his movements. 1t records
the fact at 10 A. NJ. of July LIST, 1852,
while the battle of Malvern Hill was
commencing, Gen. George r. Mcclellan
was " taking little nap on board the
Galena ; and at 1880 T.. NJ. of the same
day, while the battle was in full pro-
gress, Gen. George b. Mcclellan was
"quietly smoking cigar on the quarter
deck, y of the Galena. TO his credit it
is stated that "he seemed little anx-
ious." And shortly after he was sent
for, his presence being urgently de-
manded on shore. Then boat Was
manned, and he put Off p.
This ward-room officer was, until
Gen. Mcclellan had demonstrated by
his Peninsular campaign his utter want
of capacity, and grave deficiency of patri-
otto spirit, and so richly earned his re-
moval from command, a warm admirer
of the young Napoleon. His evidence
is DISTINGUISHED and candid and Sats tho
matter IN question entirely at rest.

Gszs" III 1861 Horatio Seymore expressed
himself in favor of the Montgomery
Constitution, in preference to that of
the Union. Since then he has been one
of the chiefs of the Copperheads, always
doing what he could to secure the sue
cess of those who have rebelled against
the Union. The Copperheads made him
Governor of New York two years since.
They have nominated him again for
the same office. He was President of
the Chicago Convention, and it's plat
form was one that pleased him then.
Yet his friends" want the voters to
believe that the man who admires the
Montgomery Constitution is in favor of
carrying on the war until the object of
his admiration is buried out of sight

FACE THE MUsIC.-Those dispatches
recently published, disclosing the trea-
sonable operations of the Peace Demo
crats of the North, trouble the Demo
cratic papers amazingly. Several OF
these papers suppress these dispatches
entirely, believing that their publication
would have bad effect on the prospects
of Mcclellan. They are afraid to face
the music. Well they may be, for the
evidence is conclusive that the party in
the North which is led by Vallandig-
ham & Co., and which contemplates the
election of Mcclellan and the overthrow
of the resentadministration, has shown
itself to be essentially treasonable.-DeS
