The london Times bursts into a shout
.of enthusiastic delight at the nomination
of Mcclellan and PendIeton, and the
principles which they have been selected
to represent. .a
We have always Insisted, says the
Times, that the North could not subdue
the SOUTH, and the proof is the Chicago
I Convention aud IT'S nominations.
After three years of tremendous effort
the Americans confess themselves con-
Iqucred, shouts the Times, and the proof
is the Chicago Convention aud its nomi-
nations.
They are forced to try to conciiiate and
compromise, sneers the Times, aud the
proof is that the Chicago Convention has
nominated a General vino first discovered
that his coontrymen were whipped.
But can they coax the South back
again? asks the Times. No, it is simply
Impossible, replies the Timcs to its own
lquestion victors are not in the habit Of
receiving terms from the vanqui5hed. -
Couqucrors dictate their own terms, Gays
the Times, and the Southern leaders are
not such fools as to refnquish what they
have proved their ability TO hold.
! We understand, says the Ii1aes, the
! Chicago talk about Union. 1t is tub to
i. the whale. We 30 not wonder the Con.

! Their success would have taken from US
our commercial sceptre. 1t would have
been fatal blow at our precious aristo-
cratic system. It would have stimulated
the hopes ofour poorest classes, and have
made thom suspect that they were not
born to starve. 1t would have encour-

the name of the United States a by-word

look to them as their last, hope-and
therefore the English Tories aud all our

ns2- Some of the Mackite papers are
reporting that the battle of Gettysburg
was a victory only because it was reported
to the soldiers that Gen. Mcclellan was
IN command. The soldiers might read

was Dever to be seen on the day of bat
ties, when gunboats and other safe retreats
were to be obtained The only place be
was ever known to be in the front was
during q retreat.

That General Mcclellan cherished
tcellugs Of personal respect aud liking for
lhe rebel leaders has been well understood
before uow. Here is an apt piece Of tcs-
timohy 10 that effect from Col Metcalf
Of Kentucky, who said recently at :. pub.
lie meeting:
Il got uy eyes opened on that young
Napoleon 10 the spring Of 1861. l went
TO see General Mcclellan, and in the
course Of the conversation, ] said to him
that JEFF. Davis was scoundrel aud a
repudiator. He (McClcllan) Strengthened
himself up quickly and said, I do assure
YOU, sir, that you are mistaken. Jeff.
Davis is a perfect gentleman, and will
not do anything untecomiog a gentle
man. Well, if traitor, conspirator,
thief, rcpudiator, and the civil devil who
is insdgating ali this murder is his beau
ideal OF perfect gentleman hope our
country will never be cursed with his
morality ana virtue at the head Of affairs"
Could a man thus swift to resent an
imputatiol on Jeff. Davis Je expected to
desire to sec the rebellion crushed?

New MAIL RoUrE. --For the more speedy
communication between this place and Fort
ress Monroe we understand that General
Butler has effected the necessary arrange
ments with the Post-Ofice Department
to have the daily mail-boats between Bal
timore and Fortress Monroe stop at this
place, leaving mails from, and taking them
to, each of the above named places. The
boats each stop off the Point about mid
night, and small tug-boat is employed to
take mails and passengers to and from them.
This arrangement will work excellently in
good weather, but when it is rough the tug
is unable to 60 ont, and consequently We
have to do without mail. But notwith-
standing this, we think the new line much
preferable to the old one-horse concern
that has frequently kept Us without mail
for several days in succession

TAKING THE Darn. Between eighty
and ninety of the rebel prisoners from the
State of Kentucky, having taken the oath
of allegiance prescribed by the President
in his late amnesty proclamation. left this
place on Saturday last, en- route for their
homes in that State. There arc hundreds,
and even thousands, more among the pris-
oners at this place who are waiting but the
opportunity to follow suit They are sick
of the war and are anxious to forsake the
GLORIOUS cause" which has been the source
of all their misery. Many who, a month
ago, were as rampant rebels as at first, are
now seeking reconciliation with their in
jured Uncle upon the terms above men
toned, and in all probability "a few more
of the same sort" will do likewise before
an opportunity offers to return to Dixie.

The flag was then hoisted to the breeze,
