GENERAL MCCLELLAN has been sus
pected If entertaining strong pro slavery
and So thern feelings, and one event in
his life certainly gives color to the sus-
picion. He, for long time, preferred
TO take up his residence in the South
and while living in New Orleans was an
intimate companion of BEAUREGARD.
His Sonthrcn proclivities were at that
time not concealed. Indeed 80 well
known were they that QUITMAS selected
him as one of the five officers required
TO assist him in commanding the fiji
clustering expedition against Cuba, un-
dertaking during the AaministratioI Of
President PIERCE, but nippe3 ia the bud
by Governor MARCY, Secretary OF State,
vino prevented the expedition from leay-
ing Mobile.
We may add 10 the foregoing the fact
that. when General Mcclellan was made
Commander in Chief of tho Union armies,
the Richmond papers charged that he
had offered his services to the Southern
Confederacy when the war began, and Tie
General has neper DENIED Me charge. All
these circumstances, taken in connection
with the favorable results To the Con
fedelacv of his generalship, may account
for TIE great respect with which the
South has always spoken of the American
Napoleon.
The charge that he had offered his
services to the rebel cause, we say, has
never been denied by him-at least never
in such q way as to bring out the eyi-
dence of it, If there was any. And we
have no doubt but it j. true. His whole
course since the war, and his history pre-
vious to it, all go to show that he is just
the man to have done such thing, and
then. add to this the fact that some Of
the Richmond and other Southern papers
charged hin. with having done SO, or pub
lished the fact to the world, and the
other fact that he has never had the
courage or thought it worth while to
deny the charge. The conclusion is hard
to avoid-the suspicion possibie-that he
is as much Of rebel as a Union man.
and st the beginning of the war was ready
to go over to the South and fight for the
rebel cause, had they offered him the
necessary Inducements, or considered
him worth having. Gazeas.

1t is related Of President Lincoln that re-
Gently farmer applied to him to secure his
assistance in collecting bill against the gov
eminent for damages done by troops passing
through his premises. The President refer
red him TO the proper officer, whose duty it
was to attend to such matters. But the man
was anxious that Mr.. Lincoln should examine
the case personally, and give an order to have
it settled. "Then," said he they will attend
TO 1t at once otherwise may have to walt a
long time" '.But, have no time TO attend
TO such things" said the President at won't
take but few minutes" urged the man. ''You
remind me of what occurred to friend OF
mine on the Mississippi river" said the Pres
ident. He was a captain Of a steamboat, and
when passing through the rapids he always
took the wheel, and steered the boat himself.
One day when he was in the most difficult
part Of the stream, a boy came blubbering up
10 him, crying, captain, Captain !" well what
do you want ?" 20, do stop the boat, I've lost
my apple overboardr'
The farmer saw the point of the story, and
wisely concluded to collect his bill in the usual
routine manner.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out from general use should
have their efficacy established by wel-tested expe-
rience in the hands of regularly educated physi.
clan, whose preparatory study fits him for all the
duties he must fulfill; yet the country is flooded with
poor nostrums and cure-alls, purporting to be the
best In the world which not only useless but al
ways injurious. The unfortunate should be PARrio-
ULAR in selecting his physician, as it is amentabs
yet incontroyertable fact that many syphiliic pa
tents made miserable with ruined constitutions
by matreatment from inexperienced physicians in
general practice; for 1t Is point generally conceded
by the best syphiiographers that the study and
agement of these complaints should engross the
whole time of those who would be competent and
successful In their treatment and cure. The mex
perienced general practitioner, having neither OPP
portunty nor time to make himself acquainted with
their pathology, commonly pusrues one system OF
treatment, in most cases making an indiscrimiBate
use of that antiqusted and dangerous weapon, Mer.

In starting the PORTLAND DAILY Press the
Proprietors were influenced by what they be-
leyed to be demand of the loyal public senti-
ment of the State, and the generous reception
which has met with, and the unexpected meas
ure of success which has uniformly attended it
thus far, afford the most satisfactory evidence to
the proprietors that they did not misconstrue the
public demand. The Press has been in existence
but one year and half, and thought was COM
menced with no previous canyassing, and with
the field to superficial observer, fully occupied
by papers having old associations and honor
able antecedents, yet in its brief history 1t has
gained circulation never before attained by any
daily paper in the State, and hold upon pub
lie confidence and respect most encouraging to
the proprietors, and stimulating to their cher
ished desire to satisfy the public wants by max
ing such q paper as shall be deemed public ne
cessity by the loyal people of Maine.
Though the Press has had a success far ex-
ceeding the most sanguine expectations of its
projectors, and though comparatively few sub
scrbers have been heard to complain Of its ac-
knowledged DEFICIENCIES, and few demands for its
improvement have come to the notice of its pro-
prietors, and though it may have been all they
could afford to make it at the past and existing
exorbitant prices of printing materials and stock
and with its present patronage, yet the proprie
tors have long felt that it is far short of what
leading journal in the commercial and financial
center of the State should be; and that the en-
terprise, the wealth, the public spirit and the
asst increasing population of Portland demand,
and should therefore sustain, such efforts as are
necessary to make paper commensurate with
the growing Importance and commanding posi-
ton of their CITY.
The Business of this city should demand much
more space for its advertisement than her num-
erous merchants and manufacturers have as yet
claimed FORTS accommodation while the great va
riety and importance of the news Of theday-For-
eign and Domestic, Civil and Military -imper-
atively calls for more attention than the patron
age actually enjoyed by any paper in the State
would justify bestowing upon it. The Proprie-
tors of the Press, reposing implicit trust in the
good sense and the liberality of the people of
Maine, and their willingness to sustain all en-
terprses having for their object the promotion of
our common veal, hope the day is not far dis
tant when they may, with full confidence in sue
cess. mike
