well known General George B Nc lellan, 80
seriously wounded by General Sheridan during
his recent arbitrary assault upon Messrs.
Early, Rhodes, and others OF onr southern
brethren 10 the Shenandoah valley, is not ex.
pected to recover. His friends In New York
are frantic over his condition, and the most
experienced physicians do not think he will
live beyond November.
GEN. LOGAN, . lifelong democrat of Illinois,
is out for Lincoln. He says that he heard but
purpose TO 60 for Mcclellan, for said he, "the
tendency Of supporting the Chicago nominee is
10 strengthen the rebellion"
MoHs srRAws.-A vote was taken on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad last Sunday, with
the following result, viz; Lincoln, co. McClel-
Ian, IS.
JoBN A. DIX said; "If any man hauls down
the American fig, shoot him on the spot"
George b. Mcclellan said; II any man hauls
down the American a az, ,"exhaust the resources
OF statesmanship" to induce him TO haul 1t up
again.
MACS REcoRD.-War men might stomach
Mcclellan and his record, but how can they
swallow with him Pendeton and his record
with the platform and Its constructorsl
PNDLEroS's REcoRD.-A portion of the
Democracy sustain Mcclellan on his record.
On whose record do they sustain Pendleton 3!

"SwEET ARE THE UsBs OF ADvERsITYo is not

The Albany IN. ~ Argus wishes the army
to move faster. It will move fast enough TO
disappoint the Copperheads; and cautious
enough to prevent the defeat for which rebels

says, "the friendship of two women is always

ST. LOUIS, Oct. G.-General Ewing and sev.
eral officers OF his command reached here last
night, having marched from Pilot Knob to De
Soto with an escort OF forty men, whence he
came TO 81. Louis by railroad. His retreat
from Pilot Knob was unmolested until twenty
miles from Harrison Station, where the rebels
attacked In force, but were driven back by his
artillery. He erected breastworks and planted
cannon, and fought the enemy constantly until
Saturday afternoon, when Col. Beyeridge, with
500 men Of the nth Illinois cavalry, arrived
from Rolla, and the rebels retired.
Early on Sunday morning his command
started for Rolla, which he reached the same
evening with 700 men and all his artillery.
The total loss In the command, including the
siege OF Pilot Knob, diminishing on the retreat,
and engagement at Harrison Station, was
about 800 men, the large portion being prls-
oners.
The latest accounts from Price placed him
SIX miles west Of Union on Tuesday, on the
Jefferson City road. His force consists Of
1000 fighting men and about 5000 camp fol-
lowers. His movements indicate a design TO
attempt to take Jefferson City, install Tom
Reynolds as Governor, and, II possible, hold
the State for the eonfederacy.
Gen. Mower has been heard from, but his
whereabouts Is contraband.

The World argued at length yesterday that
negro soldiers have proved total failure, and
asks, with much assurance "What battle
aelds have they emblazoned with glory1" It
cannot be that the writer has perused the ac.
counts OF last Thursdays fighting on the north
bank OF the James, or he certainly would not
be guilty Of such an interrogatory. All the
narrators agree In stating that the negro troops
conducted themselves In the most gallant nan.
ner, charging with reckless courage upon the
enemy's works and never quailing before the
storm Of death.
"Payne's negro DIVISION" writes Mr.. Young,
the World correspondent, "charged half mile
across an open field without firing q shot, and
carried the rebel works at the point Of the bay
onet. As was to be expected, from the fact
that they were so long erposed 10 The rebel fire,
thcir loss rds very hsdvy, and large number of
their dead are still lying on the field to-day"
A correspondent of another Democratic Jour
nal counted within the space OF a few feet In
front Of the captured works one hundred and
twenty dead sable heroes.
Though many of the stories concerning
negro bravery have been too absurd for belief,
yet It isfolly to deny that they make flrst-class
soldiers. At Mllllken's Bend, Oloustee, during
the first assault on Petersburg, and now In this
last advance, they have exhibited the most
soldlerly qualites-many, very many of them
sealing with their llfe.blood their devotion to
their country's cause.
II is too late to attempt 10 persuade the
people that the negro enlistment act was q
blundcr. The wisdom Of the measure has long
since become apparcnt.-Nc,c York Commercial

tended. No one will consider the day as ended
until the duties 1t brings have been discharged.
Commanders OF districts will uniformly hold

CARDS Instructions, ammunition, and clothing,
either in or ont ofth department, at an hours
notice. The utmost diligence and yigor are

The Copperheads confess to their friends
privately that they have no hope of winning
the next Presidential election. And their
friends, the rebels, confess when they speak
honestly, that their cause can never succeed.
The rebel officers captured In front of But
ler's line in the late battles, who have been sent
here, acknowledge that their armies are SO
much outnumbered that they must, sooner or
later, be oyerpowered by mere numerical su-
perlority, II by nothing else. They see that the
inevitable doom of the Confederacy is to be
crushed
