On the 10th day of September, Sheri

Early. and gained a brilliant victory:
then followed the great success at
Fishers Hill, and subsequently was
fought the great cavalry battle near Stras
burg. in which eleven pieces OF artillery
and some hundreds of prisoners were
captured from the enemy Just one
month from the date of hi- first battle
with Early, the Youthful and glorious
Sheridan crowned his series of victories
by giving a crushing defeat to the most
popular General after Lee. in the rebel
service. Three years ago we went crazy
over 4 General, who, in expectation of
results To be accomplished, was called
the Young Napoleon; but great com
manderes are nodded in the crucible OF
actual war; and from the battles of three
years a General has arisen, whose brilli-
ant exploits compare favorablv with
those of Napoleon the Great in his first
campaign in italy.
Four great and victorious battles in
single month, resulting in the capture of
thousands of the enemy, seventv-Aine

which cannot be set down TO the account

shows that the political ambition of the
'.Young Napoleon had its origin rs far
back ~ the pcninsular campaign, and
that his motives were fully read by the
soldier who was far more than his equal
in every respect. The letter has never
before been printed:

The Chinese Rebellion.

The ImpcrialiSts have captured the
city of Nankin, slain the leader OF the
rebels, and captured some of his associ-
ate chiefs. Nankin fell into the hands Of
the party of Chinese order on the 19th of
July. This event Is regarded As virtually
ending the rebellion III China, and al
ready the English, who have given aid
TO the Imperialists, are discussing the
propriety of Withdrawing their interven-

Fourteen hundred years ago Nankin was
a city OF palaces and pagodas, and its
inhabitants swarmed like ants. For a
thousand wears it was the metropolis OF
the Empire. Now. says the Times:

The New York Evening Post publishes
the following opinion of Little McClcl
Ian. entertained by n Democratic friend
of his, whose name will be furnished if
desired:
l have stood by Mcclellan as long as
could, and only ceased To apologize for
him when l found it impossible. The
great danger which will attend his cleva
tion to the Presidency will arise from
the pliancy of his temperament. He al
ways was and is now, by the constitution
of his mind, mere reccpticle of the
thoughts and purposes OF other men.
He never had an original idea or an in.
dependent volition. He was always n
satellite of some stronger will, and acted
only as he WAS impelled and guided by
others, In his academic life he was the
follower OF such men as c. W. Smith
and Eitz John Porter; in his military life
he has been guided by the same class, in
domestic life he i ruled by the women
about him, and in political life he will be
blindly led by the counsels Of Wood and
Nallandigham.
