BY information received from the War
Department, we learn that on the Sth of
November, Gen. Mcclellan rendered his
resignation as Major General in the Army
of the United States, and that Phillip Ii.
Sheridan has been promoted to the rank of
Major General. 1t is rumored that the name
of Gen. Mcclellan is to be presented to the
Legislature of New Jersey as a candidate
for the office of United States Senator in
the room of Mr.. Ten Eyck, whose term will
expire on the 4th of March, 1865. Wher-
ever he may be placed, he will do his duty.
and adorn and dignity his position.
The resignation of Mcclellan was right. -
He did not approve of the policy of the Ad-
mtnistration in the conduct of the war As
an army officer, sworn to obedience, he
would have been obliged to carry out that
policy, or else be dismissed from service. -
Either alternative involved the loss of rep
utation, and Gen. Mcclellan consulted both
honor and prudence in his resignation.
The Administration and its creatures are
hostile to him. '"The power behind the
throne greater than the throne itself, Mr..
Edwin Stanton, is his enemy. When, at
the head of the Army of the Potomac, he
was thwartcd, bafied, and counteracted by
the Administration. He was finally rcmov-
ed from his command, and kept in idcness
from the time Of his removal to that Of his
resignation. a Congressional Committee
on the Conduct of the War was appointed
by the Black Republicans. 1t wasted
months Of time and rcams Of paper, and ex-
pended thousands of dollars in collecting
testimony and printing documents, to de-
stroy his military reputation. If Mcclellan
should have been again placed in command
the jealousy of Presidential aspirants, the
cnmity Of stanton, and the rage of the rad
icals, would have been again awakened, anc
the same agencies set at work to dcrangt
his combinations, depreciate his fame, anC
blackcn his character
The Abolitionists loudly boast that the,
can end the war without him. "Verily
verify" say the snuiflers, ''the Lord hatf
no farther need Of him I" They wantl;en
erals who will wade through rivers of blood
to secure the subiugation Of the South ant
the emancipation Of the negroes, and who
will slay all the Amalekitcs, except those
tender virgins who have never known O
man. GTeeaSbUg (/a.) Democrat.

amendment to the Constitution

The Administration journals are specula-
ting on the probability of carrying the pro-
posed amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, abolishing slavery in all parts of the
United States. Such an amendment, in the
mode suggested for its adoption, would re-
quire the assent Of tho Legislatures of
throe-fourths Of the States Can this assent
be obtained ? is the question. There are
now thirty-siX States counting in West
Virginia and Nevada. The amendment
would, therefore, require the approval of
the Legislatures of twcnty-seven States.
There are now, according to Adminstra-
ton reckoning, twenty two non-slave- hold
ing States, namely: Maine, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland West Virginia,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nevada,
Oregon, and California 1t is extremely
doubtful whether all these States would
sanction the proposed amendment. But
admitting they would, five more are wanting
to make up the required number. Where
are they to come from ?
A hot Lincoln paper before us, though
it dobts Kentucky, thinks it may safely
count on Missouri and probably Delaware
No doubt the presence Of Federal bayoncts
and provost guards would be n powerful ar
gument in those as well as in other States,
and greatly aid in reducing the number of
votes against, as well as increasing the num-
Der for any measure the Administration
wished to carry.
But grant them Missouri and Delaware,
the Administration wire -pullcrs would yet
lack three States to make up the three
fourths These our Lincoln contemporary
who knows full well the reckless character
of the master and the party he serves, is o.
opinion that Legislatures could be organized
in Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee, thai
would without hesitation approve tn,
amendment. OF course this could be done
rs easily as many other things have beer
done since this war began, by the aid OF
military force, excluding from the polls al
or nearly all, but partisans Of the Admins
tration. Statesman.

rously caused by mercurial disease, low
living, dsortered digestion from unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits
the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the vencreal infection. Whatever be its
origin, it is hereditary in the constitution,
descending " from parents to children unto
the third and fourth generations" indeed, it
seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81 will
visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their

various names, according to the organs it
attacks. In the lungs, Scrofula produces
tubercles, and finally Consumption; in the
glands, swellings which suppurate and be-
come ulcerous sores; in the stomach and
bowels, arrangements which produce indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints; on
the skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections.
These, all having the same origin, require the

You are against the rendition of the
black man in pursuance of the Con-
stitution; and you give up white man
who has sought an asylum on our shores
without the form or substance Of law or
treaty, and in "pOsitive detiance' of the
law of nations and the Constitution. Your
Executive is q usurper of the powers wisely
distributed to the other departments of the
Government. Here you sit to-day striving
to strike down the only mode whereby one
peculiar clause of the Constitution can be
carried out, and propose no mode as sub
stitute either by State or Federal action
You will not allow an individual to take his
slave by the sanction of the Constitution
alone; you will pass no law to help him.
You will not allow him to go into a free
State and have his right there by jury trial,
because you cannot try the claimants right
to his slave by a jury in free State
You will not allow the law of 1898 to re-
main. which George Washington assisted in
making; yet you strike down all the great
rights of personal freedom for the white
man fixed by the fathers of the country in
our fundamental law, because you are bent,

You are destructionists; you would tear
down all that is valuable and sacred in the

are revolutionists. You were trying for

sought to embroil the States in collision with
the Federal Government, and have sue

every man of you on the other side of the
House who took any part in these seditious
infractions of the Constitution, who coun-
seled individual and State resistance and

oh queen of song! Sweet poetess thy heart,
Which gave thy pen the power loves tale to tell,
In all loves sweetest joys had little part;
It's bitterness, alas ! it knew too well.
How must that heart have priced thy one bright
hour, -
To tell its bliss with such harmonious power
For love to thee was like a wounded bird,
That weary, bears the cruel weapon yet Ez
Nesting within thy bosom which is stirred
By wild, sweet thoughts it never can forget;
Fleeing, ali, soon! refreshed by its calm rest,
Leaving the arrow ranking in thy breast.
Though fame filled high for thee her dazzling bowl,
Till crystal drops jeweled the golden brn,
She gave no rest to thy world-weary soul,
No answer to thy spirits ceaseess hymn;
Love hath a sweeter nectar though he gave
To thee but spray thrown from the ruby wave.
Thy life, which seemed so long to thee, was brief
To those thy glorious gift richly blessed,
And as the sun CLEANS out in bright relief
Behind some sunset cloud within the west
Even so thy genius but the brighter seemed,
That all it's light through clouds of sorrow reamed
