the di>astcrous consequences portrayed the
Senator will result from retaining the

it would probably have been better to have

GEN. MCCLELLAN's Report The Louis
vile Journal speaks of the report of General
Mcclellan, on the conduct of the war, as
follows:
General McClellan's report wins golden
opinions from every true man who reads it,.
And not few Republicans are frank enough
to confess their opinions. The editor of the
Newburyport Herald a Republican paper
of Massachusetts, is one of these. "Gen.
McClellan's report" says the \ wburyport
Herald, sis admitted on all hands to be
one of the best written papers that has ever
come from the press. AS a political docul
ment it will he as much in demand as was
the biography of the Pathfinder in 1866;
Cabin 1t may be many years before it will
be judged impartially. Politics have become
so mixed up with our military affairs that
our commanders cannot expect justice by
this generation. We have never doubted
that Mcclellan was first of our military men.
Possibly Grant may be his equal for practical
operations; but the fighting in the East and
West has been so widely different that we
can make no comparison between them.
Grant has never had to fight Lee, who is
inferior to neither of them, and probably
second to no military man in the world. >
And what the Newburyport Herald confesses
thus boldly, many other Republican papers
confess less boldly. 1t is plain that at heart
even the Republicans deeply respect and
admire General Mcclellan. For the sake Of
human nature we shoulG be sorry if they
did not.

The ExtraVagances of the Day.

The Washngton correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Daily News, an administration
paper Of the most servile type, draws the
following picture of the condition of affairs
which the Lincoln rule has brought about:
1t really seems seasonabe and necessary
to sound the alarm. The earnest word of
warning ought TO be spoken. The extrava-
gances Of the day and the expenditures for
Iuxures are unexsmpled, even in the history
of our wasteful people. There is an impress
sion abroad among the peopl that, as green
backs are so plenty, and every one feeling
so prosperous, it is perfectly right and proper
for every one to spend as freely as he likes
Indeed, there seems to exist no sort of con-
scientious feeling in regard to the duty of
economy. The people are eXtravagant to
the last degree All dealers in expensive
goods, everywhere throughout the country,
by common consent, concur in the statement
that there never was such demand for the
most costly wares. The precious stones,
diamonds and pearls, have never been in
such demand or commanded such high prices.
Gold Watches ornaments and bronzes, ee
giant carpets, silks, brocades aud satins-ex,
pensive furniture, paintings, costly dinner
wares and choice wines-aIl, all are con-
tinually sold and are orpamenting the dwell
hngs, the persons, or tickling the vanity or
paates of our people. This madness of folly
and unprecedented spirit of spending and
dashing out, is not alone confined to the
wealthy, but all classes of society have gone
fnerv mad About the first thing thought
of, after money comes in possession, is not
the idea of a solid or substantial investment,
but spending in tinery, dress, baubes and
toolery. The wives and daughters of shops
keepers, mechanics, Teachers of country
parsons, lawyers, doctors, still buy silks and
sa'ins, pianos, and carpets, as if they Tor the
country were ust as well off as they ever
were. Judging 10y the extravaganza of the
people, one is forced to conclude that the
nation does not seem to recognize that it is
in war, or that its habits of economy have
anything to do with its ability to pay the
public debt; on the contrary, the inference
would seem to be that somebody else was
spending for the war, while we spend for
foreign luxures. What a terrible delusion;
though terrible as is the delusion, unless we
get wisdom, and improve it by thorough and
speedy retrenchment, we shall only realize it
in its full force when it is too late to profit
by wisdom. The press and the pulpit owe
1t to themselves to express the fallacy of
arguing ourselves rich because (paper) money
is plenty, while the country is involved in
the most gigantic war of modern times, and
national debt of some millions per day
is growing upon our hands.

Wool SHIPMENTS FROM SoLANo COUNTY.
The shipment of wool over the Suisun
wharves this year is largely in excess of that
of any previous season, and promises to re-
lieve the failure in some other products
From March lst to May l8th-a period of
eleven weeks-there were 1874 pounds,
or nearly So tons, shipped by the steamer;
about 5 tons were shipped prior to that date,
and tons in another way. Some of this
wool comes from the Clear Lake region
whence we may expect to receive large grain
shipments this season, if prices keep to the
height promised. Some 20 tons of wool
have just been shipped from Cache Slough.
1t is said of these shipments that the fleece
averages Of better quality than heretofore

REBEL Iron CLADs FROM EURopE.-The
Baltimore correspondent of the New York
World says:
In regard to the iron-cad vessels that
have been built for the Confederates in the
ports Of Great Britain and France during the
last eighteen months, nv information is pos
tive that they will find their way across the
Atlantic before the end of June. Arrange,
ments have been made for the transfer of
those vessels that were built for the "Emper-
or Of China" to parties who cannot be iden-
titled with the South; and after the transfer
has been made, the governments Of England
and France can no longer interfere with
them. The parties alluded to will take them
to a seaport in some other country, where,
by process known in maratme practice,
the vessels will ultimately come into the pos
session Of the agents of the confederacy.-
These vessels, Of which there are about
twenty in all, are built expressly for ocean
navigation, and some Of them are Of the
same class as the Warrior and La Gloire
They are all constructed in the very best
manner by the most experienced European
shp.builders, plated with iron or maleabe
steel to thickness that defies penetration,
and mounted with ornaments far superior to
anything now ahoat in American waters.
These will prove an element of strength on
the rebel side, the Importance of which has
been entirely overlooked by the administra
ton, intent on its utopian negro schemes.
When these vessels reach our shores they
will not be used for defense To break the
blockade of Charleston, Wilmington and
Savannah will be their first attempt. And
after that it is expected that they will attack
soma of the seanorts in the NOrthern States

The Importance of County Newspapers.

Among the manv imperative duties de-
volvng upon Democrats, we regard united
and cordial support Of County newspapers
as the most important. A consistent and
ably conducted Democratic newspaper ALWAYS
exercises a great influence in its county and
State. All other influences combined are
not to be compared with it. How much
more this influence is increased when each
Democrat feels personally Interested in its
success-when each Democrat makes It's
cause his own. Democrats, your duty is not
discharged when you simply take a copy
you should labor to increase its subscribers
and thus increase its usefulness Ia this
way you can assist and strengthen the Demo
cratic party more, than five times The amount
of labor aud money spent in any other man
ner We have entered upon an mporla ant
and exciting campaign, in which are in
volved questions Of greater magnitude than
ever before agitated the public mind. The
opposition are circulating documents exten.
sively, filled with the basest misrepresenta-
measures and men. To counteract their
wicked influence, to correct their misrepre
sentatlons, to warn the people against the
mischievons tendency of their doctrines
Democratic newspapers must be circulated
the anlidote must accompany the bane, to
preserve healthy atmosphere. We there
fore earnestly appeal to the Democracy
everywhere to subscribe and circulate Demo
cratic newspapers. Mountain Democrat.
