THE nomination Of Mcclellan is very of.
fcnsivc to two abolition traitors in
the North and rebel traitors in the South.
C,mwcnting on the nomination Of McClel-
Ian and Pcndle.on, the Richmond Sentinel
says
The only practicable moral we can draw
from all this is that the Confederate States
never had more urgent need Of an effective
army and diligent CONSUMPTION, and vigiant
leaders, and all men to the front, than they
have at this hour.
From the fact that, since the Chicago
Convention, the adm nstration organs OF
the abolition and Confederate governments
have oyerilowod with denunciation OF our
nominees, while gold has steadily declined,
we can Draw the most hopeful auguries Of
democratic success in November.

(Co,naIunicated.)

Mr.. EDIToR.-A certain woud-be-
great man of the town of Pierce
county, has made an onslaught upon the
nominees of the Baltimore Convention,
Mhich Convention he terms "a clique of
old fossils, packed for the purpose of nom
mating old Abe
Now the charge that the Baltimore
Convention consisted Of a ''packed clique
Of old fossils" or WAS n well preserved
piece of antiquity, might be sustained in
Pickwickian sense, but no other. But
the charge was made for fling at our
noble President, and the Convention that
re-nomiuated him, and fling back the
foul ilnpI::.;inn with indign alton and
scern.
To prove that tue Baltimore Couven-
was composed of safe counsellors, even
though they be called "pscked set of
fossils" by those who hang to the coat
tail of Fremont, and that neglect Of
their advice may be disastrous, | have a
case in point.
SoLoMoa had long and prosperous
reign, and at his death left kingdom
which for wealth, grandeur and strength
was without rival. His son, REHoBo-
AM, went down to Schekem to be crown
ed king. When the Israelitas apr called
to him to lesson their burdens, he took
time to advise. He first counseled with
the old men, ";he packed set of fossils"
who had stood before Solomon and there
learned wisdom. They advised him to
tighten their burdens, and to speak kind
ly to the people. He then advised with
the hot-headed radicals, who told him
not to grant the peoples request, but to
''lay on Macduff" He rejected the ad-
vice of the ''fossils" and followed the
counsel of the radicals" and the result
was most disastrous, as by that means
the most glorious kingdom then on earth
was reft asunder.

THE SHow.-Last Saturday a large
crowd collected at the ferry here to see
the big elephant swim Lake St. Croix.-
He did it in very modest manner, 60
inc into the water with his clothes on,
and keeping all but his head below the
surface.
A large number from this side attend
ed the Show at Hastings. The only fault
we had TO find was that the animals
were not provided with suits of summer
clothing. The weather was excessively
hot, yet the birds were arrayed in the
most rich and gorgeous style, the bears
had on their heavy black oyercoats, and
the lions long hair hung clear down his
neck. There was the usual side show,
where the amiabIe and interesting young
lady, in dress of wonderful shortness,
danced Enthusiastically, to the delight of the
lockers OH. Taken altogether, it was, as
advertised, Great Moral Show, and
should be well ratronized by good peo-
pie who think it wicked to go to Circus
where they have a ring, trained horses,
and clown.

A FACT WORTH KNowING.-All gro-
GERS are compelled to sell the staple arti-
cles of heavy goods, whether they make
large profit or not, but in shelf goods
and many articles of which the purchaser
is not a Judge, they sell those upon which
they can make the most profit. In this
way worthless Saleratus is sold, and in
no other. The grocer who intends to
sell the best goods and rely upon fair
profit, will always keep De Land & Cos
Chemical Saleratus, and thousands Of
dealers will sell no other.

But for the mother fair and bright,
She rested in undermining night.

OF TENNESSEE.
PATIENCE

AGAIN we stand upon the threshold OF
the Nations natal day. That day which
bsslned so gIoriously upon our arms one
wear ago, brought with it the hope that
another "FoURrH" might find the Rebel
lion vsnquished-the Republic entire
the Nation united and free.
That hope is yet unfulfilled. Tne ag-
ouizing prayer of the Nation for a Peace
born of victory aud hallOwed by justice,
IS yet unanswered.
Still the stupendous struggle goes on
Still are marshalled the mighty armies OF
The Union. with banners battle-torn, with
shrunken columns, but invincible in their
determination to uphold Freedom. and
Government, and Law, at whatever
east.
What we at home need, is patience. -
We need fortitudc to bear the inseperable
losses Of war, and that clear cOmprehen-
son of the vast interests at stake, which
shall make no sacrifice seem too great,
~ burden too heavy, SO that the end be
obtained. We need to gather courage
from the heroic example Of our living
soldiers, and inspiration from the sacred
memory of the dead.
Thinking of those who have so freely
..iven their lives for the Land they love,
III us say with Gen. MCCLELLAN:
"ShaH il be said in after ages that we
lacked the vigor TO complete the work
thus berunl That after all these noble
ives freely given. we hesitated. and fan
81 IN keen straight on until our land was
~avcdl Forbid it. Heaven, and give us
.itmpr, truer hearts than that.
Oh. spirits Of the valiant dead, souls OF
our slain heroes, lend US your indomita
lie will, and ii it be permitted you to
commune with those still chained by the
trammels of mortality, hover around us
in the midst of danger and tribuIation-
cheer the firm, strenthen the weak. that
none may doubt the salvation of the Re.
public, aud the triumph Of our grand old
flag"
Let us adopt the spirit of that patriotic
invocation, aud dedicate this birth day OF
the Nation to the strengthning of our pa
tience, aud the fixing of the firm resolve
never 10 doubt or faIter, till the great
work Of subduing tie Rebellion and es-
tsblishing frOe government is accomplish
81.
"GoD bless our native land;
Firm may she ever stand,
Through storm and night.
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave.
Do thou our country save.
By thy great might.
