A PERTINENT TLLusrRATIoN.--Col. A. T.
McReynolds, Tor three years in command oil
the lst New York cavalry, an old Democrat,
whose devotion to Mcclellan has been con
spicuous, said the other day :" used to tell
an anccdote, when was on tho stump for
Buchanan, which exactly illustrates my pres.

An avaricious ielow-in dividing tho flock

ness for Billy would induce him to select the
pen where nc was. But, instead of this, and
as if aware of the object of the arrangement,
he quietly went up to Billy, took him around
the neck, and said to him Billy, you and

WANT OF DycrsIoS.-Sydney Smith, in his
work on Moral ph losophy, speaks in this
wise Of what men lose for want Of little
brass" as it is termed
A great deal of talent is lost 10 the world
for want Of a little courage. Every day sends
to their graves number of obscure men,
who have only remained IN obscurity because
their timility has prevented them frem max
ing atirst effort, and who, if they only had
been induced to begin, would in all proba
bility have gone great lengths in the career
OF fame. The fact is that in doing anything
in tho world worth doing, we must not stand
shivering on the bank thinking Of the cold
and danger, but jump in and scramble thro
as W. can.
1t will not do to be perpetually calculating
risks and adjusting nice chances it did ai
very well before the Hood, whom a man could
consult his friends upon an extended publ
cation for hundred and fifty years, aud live
to see its success for seven centuries after.

his particular friends, till one day he finds

THK P0WEsHlEk lNSURRECTION.
Mike Gleasenss Testimony -. Price ia
Invade lOWa...The q. A. k.,s
sworn to Aid Him.

NAe..~s
Nike Gleason, one of the assassins Of
Woodruff and Bashorc, is lying in Jail at
this place. His left thigh is badly shattered,
but it is thought no will recover. The other
prisoners who were mentioned as being here
last week were started for Davenport, under
strong guard, last Thursday. G,cason's
deposition has been taken. Hs declined Civ.
ing any testimony except with the under.
standing that nc was to shield himself His
testimony, for the mos: part agrees with the
statement Of BashoIc, which We published
last week. lie says that when he arrived at
the drill grounds, it was already known that
the Marshals were in the ncighborhood, and
the company, some thirty or forty Of the
members being present, were solemnly con.
sulting as to the best means to put tho mar.
shals out Of the way. He says further, that
II was understood before they dispersed that
the marshals were to be killed and while he
thinks there was no formal order issued, or
a special detail made, il was generally under
stood and agreed that John and 10. Fleener
ard Sam. Bryant were to do the deed. He
does not say there was any opposition to the
determination to kill the marshals, but all
acquesced in it. Gleason says that he and
Bashore were shot at the same volley as they
were walking along tho road and that the
men who did the shooting were behind them
and partially concealed by a fallen tree. 1t
may be noticed by the way that while Ba
shores mortal aud only wound was in the
back, the shot that wounded Gleason came
from the front-a discrepancy that Gleason
did not explain. But 1t is not worth while
TO spend time with Glcason's evidence on
this point BY his own confession he was
member Of the company and q party to the
assassination Of the Marshals.
Gleason further testified that the Sugar
Creek military company were expecting Price
to invade Iowa this fall, and that they were
sworn to join him aud to render him all the
aid in their power. They were carefully in
structed in the signs and passwords so they
could readily make themselves known TO
Prices men. One Of their strongest oaths
was that declaring death to any member Of
the Order who should disclose its dcsigns.--
lie testified further that there were members
Of the Order in Oskaloosa Ms well as in other
places. A copperhcad lawyer Of Montczuma
was the head man Of tho organization in
Poweshiek county.
In view Of the disclosures which have re
Gently been made in Indiana, Illinois, and

JAMES Russell Lowell makes the following
vivid and life-like photograph Of the copper.
head conglomeration that nominated Little
General Mcclellan:
The Convention was rag bag of disssnt.

Mcclellan and isis Platform,

The Chicago platform paid little regard to
" the public record " Of the man they placed
upon it. The second resolution declared:
That this Convention does explicitly dc.
clare as the sense Of the American people,
that after four years of failure to restore the
Union by the experiment Of war;" &c, &c.
Is this the sense Of the American people ?
Let Geo. b. Mcclellan answer:
"Alter calm, impartial and patient con.
alteration Of the subject, subject which Dc.
mands the closest thought on the part OF
every true lover Of his c untry, | am con.
vinced that by proper employment of our
resources it is entirely possible to bring this
war to a successful military tissue. Clsl.

The Chicago platform further declares that:
Justice, humanity, liberty, and the pub.
lie welfare demanl that immediate efforts be
made for cessation of hostlities with view
to an ultimate convention Of the States, or
other peaccablc means, TO the end that at the
earliest practicable memcnt peace may be re.
stored on the basis Of the Federal Union Of
the States" .-.
Is this the true policy, to throw down our
arms? Is there no other road to peace and
a restored Union? Let Mcclellan answer
! bellev" that necessity preliminary 10
the re. establishment of the Union, is the en-.
tire defeat or virtual destruction of the or.
ganized military power Of the Confederates.

where there are always as May equally

was not his worst error. AT an early Pc
riod, he introduced to the notice of the
House two forged letters, attributed to
prominent politicians in Indiana. aud made
them the foundation of charges of disloy-
atty against the Democracy of that State
They were proved to be forgefies by evil
dence which would have satisfied any Jury

was slnw illing to make recantation of his

evidence to sustain the charge. and he was

Gen. Mcclellan mt TicOnderOgu

Gen. Mcclellan left Saratoga on Tuesday
on q quiet trip to Lake George and vicinity.
The citizens of Whitehall, learning that he
was to be at Ticonderoga on that afternoon.
determined to make him complimentary
visit. Accordingly the most successful and
enthusiastic impromptu affair ever witness
ed in that section of the State was immedi-
ately arranged. A steamboat was charter
ed and band of music engaged. and hum
dreds of people flocked to the dock to take
passage on the boat to pay their respects to
Gen. Mcclellan on the historic ground oil
Ticonderoga. Before the steamer had reach
ed that place, it was nOised about the neigh
borhood that Mcclellan had arrived, and
the people came pouring in from the val
leys and mountains in swarms. The hotel
where the General was stopping was be-
sieged by the crowd. anxious to see the fa-
nous Commander of the Army of the Po-
tOmac.
On the arrival of the boat. with music
and banners, the enthusiasm of the crowd
was greatly heightened, and though the
General had come there in a quiet manner,
and was desirous of escaping observation,
he was compelled to make his appearance
before them. He was introduced to the
people In neat speech by Mr.. Smith. of
The Whitehall Times. The reply was short
but eloquent. he referred to the RevOlu-
tionary memories connected with the spot
upon which they were standing. to the he
roism of Col. Ethan Allen when he called
upon the Fort to surrender i'm the .'lrame OF
God and the Continental Congress-" and
expressed the hope that the country and
the government secured tn lis by the heroes
and statesmen. of that day might be pre-
served intact, and handed down to future
generations. lo3 h4t
The occasion is represented as being one
of great interest, and in striking contrast
to any demonstrations on the part of the
shoddyites.

Il have received reliable intelligence that

a vote of the people of Norfolk, whether
they desire civil goyernment to be contin-

A FREMONT paper says that Old ABE is
very much distressed about the daily ex-
posure Of the frauds and swindles of his
friends, such as HENDERSON, and that he is
becoming alarmed lest his indiscriminate
exercise Of the pardoning power should re-
dound against him. 1t is a little remarka-
BILE that every thieying contractor and
swindling officer yet convicted, who claims
to be supporter OF the President, has had
his sentence annulled or modified, while
those opposed to LINCOLN have been visited
with the severest punishment for the most
triiing ofienses. Old ABE is in singular
iy UNPLEASANT dilemma. If he don't pardon
the thieves out the prisons to which they
have been sentenced, he will lose their sup
port; and II he does pardon them, he loses
the support Of those who are not thieves
and swindlers.
