ANOTHER RAm-MCCLELLxly TO PREVENT r.
We are apparently to have sn.,thsr raid, and
Stanton will know the particulars In about
thirty days from now, which will be after the
raid is all over. In the meantime let tbs Presi-
dent cut loose from the abolition train for Q
little while, and prevent this second advance
Into our territory by appointing General
Mcclellan to the same command under which
no fought Antietam--the command Of Gall the
troops for the defence Of the capital" He will
quiet the country at once In that way, and
General Mcclellan will organize force and
prevent the invasion. Moreover, II General
Mcclellan pursues the enemy and catches up
to him he will not come away without battle.
He will not stop because he cannot get across
the Shenandoah river In the presence of the
enemy. Let the appointment be made now,
before Stanton hears ANYTHING about the raid
KITCHEN TABLE TALK AT TBE WHITE House,
Old Abe is genial, easy, garrulous old fellow,
possessed of an immense amount Of certain
kind Of intellectual activity. Repressed and
kept In order for certain time every day by
State labors, his brain afterwards bubbles over
in little jokes, and he even relieves himself by
mere talk-Ro matter on what subject. He
talks in the garden and in the garnet, upstairs
and downstairs and in the lady's chamber; but
be talks moro than all when he goes into the
kitchen and spends IN hour with the plump and
good natursd girls, which he often does; for
Mr.. Lincoln, like Louis XIV, loves to make his
own coffee; and, like George H., he Is particu-
lsrly fond Of frying his own 6sh-when he has
no other fish to fry.
Day before yesterday be laughed very much
over Stewards trip to the army, which bothers
the papers so much, and which he said was
merely trip to see Ben Butler, and to see
what guarantees Ben would give for good be-
havior In case they gave him the War Depart
ment.
Old Abe is amused immensely at the middle
that Stanton has gotten into, and no joke can
give sufficient expression to his merriment.
He almost turns q summersault whenever he
thinks Of 1t. Stanton was brought into the
Cabinet, he says, by Seward, and not by Chase,
and Chase acquiesced in tho appointment; but
now that Stanton is going on SO dreadfully
Seward is rs anxious to get him OUT as any one
else. Old Abe believes that Stanton will sup
port the nominee Of the Chicago Convention If
that Convention dominates any one else but
Mcclellan.
Stanton's row with Grant is getting worse and
worse, because Stanton will not do anything
that Grant requires, but insists that Grant is
responsible when his resistance to Grant brings
trouble. He wants to make Grant responsible for
the raid into Maryland, and Old Abe is certain
that Grant will not stand It. Grant will make
o row on all the points at which Stanton has
played cross purposes-as in keeping Banks In
command of the department to defeat his su-
persedure; in preventing Ord from having the
command at the Monocacy and in still keeping
Sigel in his command after all his recent
failures.
Old Abe, finally, seems to be satisfied that
Meade, as he expresses 1t, "wont dol" that
Grant must have more mon, and that Hunters
West Virginia expedition failed through DISC
bedience Of orders.
