More AccessiOns to the Ranks
Of Mcclellan.

The following announcement appears in
the Washington dispatches to the New
York papers =
"Hon Edgar Oowap, of Pennsylvania,
the eminent aud eloquent Republican
member of the United States Senate, has
come out squarely for Mcclellan and Pens
dleton, The fact creates great consterna
ton in the Republican ranks of Western
Pennsylvania"
Not less gratifying and important is the
following
"Gen. Frank Granger, Of New York
State, ex Postmaster General, and q life
long opponent OF the Democrats, comes out
for Mcclellan. He has never before acted
with the Democrats"
The Boston Courier ADDS to these names
Mr.. Sweetser, Of Lowell, Mr.. Northend, of
Salem, Col. A o. Brewster, of Boston, and
James NJ. Keith, Esq, OF Raxbury. All
these are most effective and convincing

Why was Mcclellan Removeda

We conversed yesterday with a gentle
man who was in Washington City on the
memorable lst and I'd Of September. 1862,
the time of the disastrous defeat Of Gen.
PORE in the second Bull Run battle. He
described most graphically the demoraliza-
ton of the army and the CONSERVATION of
the citizens. Thousands Of soldiers, hat
less, shoeless and ragged, their clothes
having been worn out in the terrible con>
Gets on the Peninsula, came pouring into
the city in wild disorder. Officers stroye
in vain to rally their men, and then yield
ed themselves to the panic fear which bore
down ali before it and destroyed every
vsstige of discipline,
While thronged the citizens, with terror dumb,
Or whispering, with white lips, The foe they
come, they come?
The gloom Of dispair was pictured on every
~coantenance; strong men bowed their
heads in agony, and women w,ung their
hands and wept. Thousands were prepar-
ing to make a hasty fight from the city,
leaving the capital of the nation to the
mercy of the spoilers, and going forth, as
penniless exiles, from homes Of comfort
and laxury. About noon on tho 2 a res
port was circulated upon the streets that
GEoRoE B. Mcclellan had consented
to again take command of the Army
of the Potomac. Immediately every
countenance was Illuminated by tbr
joyful light of hope. Men tossed their hats
in air and shouted for joy. Mourning and
lamentation gave place to tears of gratitude
and gladness. Bronzed and weather beaten
soldiers rent the air with huzzas for their
old commander. Individuals gathered into
squads, squads into companies, companies
into regiments, and the whole army. was
recognized as if by magic. MCCLELLAN
rode out to meet the route ] army, spent
The night in arranging plans and giving or
ders, and when the morning dawned the
old Army of the Potomac presented a firm
and invincible front within the defencss of
Washington. Well knowing the ability Of
him with whom they had to cope, the rebel
army would not risk an assault upon the
city, MCCLELLAN being in command, but,
bafaed in their original design, turned to
the westward, crossed the Upper Potomac
and invaded Maryland. Immediately the
army was set in motion. Those who, q few
days before, had been the pursuers b.csme
now the pursued a great victory had been

49,
What may be the result Of the State
election 81 OHIO Indiana and Pennsylva>
MIA yester day, there can be nothing in
them that should slaeken in the least the
efforts of the friends Of General Mcclellan.
In every State he-is tens of thousands OF
votes stronger than the local aud State or
CARNATIONS. Although we may have failed
in many localities yet in those localities it
is not a vote against him by any means.
There are myriads Of persons who have
made up their minds to support him and op
pose Lincoln, who have nevertheless, from
old party associations and personal friend
ship, voted against the Democracy at the
late electien.a 1t was in vain to talk to
them Of the ,efects of their votes--how
they would be claimed. They did not see
them in that light, and hence the apparent
inconsistency of their political action.
When November comes, and the direct is-
sue Is presented of the re. election of Lin
coin or q change to a mar like Mcclellan,
we shall see how the majority will increase
from the side OF the latter. 1t has been the
effort of the Lincoln party from the Begin
ming, to create the impression that Lincoln
and Mcclellan were the same as running,
at the October elections; ard that all those
who voted the Republican ticket then,
would support Lincoln in November. This
is a transparent f~alsehood, and is known to
be such by every Democrat. Well would
the Lincolnites believe that their chief is as
strong as the Republican organization, but
unfortunately for them, it is not so. He is
immensely weaker; as General Mcclellan
is immensely stronger. AS General Harris
son id 1910 carried Pennsylvania while his
party was beaten in October, and as Gen.
Cass carried Ohio in November when We
were defeated in October, l846, so will Gen,
Mcclellan succeed in States where the
Democracy have been worsted in the pres
liminary contests.
The local elections over, the opponents
of Lincoln will then have a clear field to
work against his success. He will then be
deprived of the advantages that have thus
far been in his favor Let the Democracy
and the other conservative men favorable
to his election rally from hill and dale
The main question is now about to be put
whether this country shall be cursed
: with the worst and most ~prohigate Admin
i~stration the world has ever seen. Our
confidence in the capacity of the people for
self government, and our knowledge OF
their feelings, will not allow US to believe
that it will be carried in the Affirmative.
The hundreds of thousands who voted
against the Lincoln party yesterday in the
States Of Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and
Iowa, will be reinforced by tens of thou
sands of patriotic and conservative men,
who, while against Lincoln, are still in
clined to maintain their old organization;
and the consequences will be an over>

ANOTHER DTscLosURE.-At a public
meeting in Hartford, Conn.,, W. Hammer
sly, Esq, Of that city, a we'll known citi'

of Mr.. Stanton, wrote to that official, after
the battle of Antietam, asking of him An
explanation of the seeming opposition Of
the Administration to General Mcclellan,
and their reneated failure to cooperate
with him in his plans, Mr.. Stanton replied,
in a letter of eight pages, admitting thai
the Government had not sustained Nc CleUan,
and attempting to justify the fact by aIleg-
ing as a reason that Mcclellan was becom-
ing too popular with the army, and that
the good of the cause (tha re election Of
