Death OF Park Benjamin.

This well known writer died at his residence,
in this city, last evening, in the 55th year OF
his age. Mr.. Benjamin was born In the year
| 1909, at Demerara, British Guiana, where his
| father, a native Of Norwich, Conn, was en-
gagged In mercantile business. The new "Amer-
lean EncyclopU ila" has the following account
Of him:
An illness at an early age, improperly treated,
caused him permanent lameness, and he was
sent to his fathers home, in Norwich, for medi-
cal advice and to be educated. He studied
two years at Harvard college, graduated at
Trinity college, Hartford, In 1929, began to
practice law in Boston in 1882, and was one OF
the original editors of the Nsp England Maya
zine.
In 1887 he removed to New York, edited, In
connection with G. F. Hoffman, the American
| Monthlv Md9dzuis, and subsequently was asso-
ciated with Horace Greeley in editing the Nsp
Yorker. He was next engaged, in connection
| with Epes Sargent and Rufus W. Griswold, as
editor of the Nev World, cheap weekly period.
ical, which republished the best articles Of Eng.
llsh magazine literature, and received original
contributions from many spirited writers. AT.
ter five years he sold his interest in this jour.
nal, and has since appeared frequently before
| the public as lecturer both in prose and verse
| His poems, which embrace many popular lyri,
cal and satirical pieces, have never been col
lected, but are found scattered through the re-
cent periodical literature Of the country.-Mu

McCLELLAN's APPROVAL OF TIL
PEACE PLATFORM.

The New York Nttes is revealing the secrets
that Little Mac had agreed TO the peace plat.
form in advance. Very likely he did agree to
it. But when the platform was found to be so
utterly dlstasteful to the public that no hope OF
electing a candidate who should stand upon 1t
squarely, Belmont and Barlow, no doubt, d.
rected him to write letter ignoring 1t, and he
acted according to the orders Of his superior
officers. OF course the peace men we're not
consulted In the little arrangement. 1t was
believed by the high contracting parties that
the Woods and Vallandighams would acqui.
esce in silence, in order to come in for their
share of the possible spolls. Both wings of tho
Democracy now find they have been sold.
The NctsS of yesterday says:
So well.sc.tled seemed to be the policy Of
III Democratic party, that, by common con.
sent. r"l after free and open interchange Of
oplDi ID, those planks Of the Chicago platform
'-t'ng to peace, were, by common consent,
l.,rrl upon more than two months before
the Convention met. Early in the month Of
July Msl-we have 1t upon the authority of a
| IelC.-.; from Indiana, who was selected by
| the delegation from his state to act as one OF
the committee to inform the candidates Of the
| action of the Convention-the platform, with
its peace planks, almost word for word as
adopted, was presented to Gen. Mcclellan, and
was by him approved both in It's letter and in
its spirit.
What produced the sudden change which led
to It's subsequent repudiation, II is for General
Mcclellan and his friends and not for us to say.
without the platform adopted at Chicago he
could not have been nominated. Contrary "a
the usual course, II was first agreed and the
| candidate, not only with the consent of Ills
friends, but after their active exertions, waf
placed upon 1t. Between the time Of Its adop
ton and the nomination of the candidate fol
President, one entire day interviewed. The
platform was published on the afternoon OF
Tuesday in the city-tho nomination was madt
on the following day.
1t was seen and read by Gen. Mcclellan, and
he had full time to telegraph to his friends In
Chicago his repudation II no could not nor
would not indorse II. He did no such thing
His confidential friends approved the platform,
and they urged his nomination upon 1t. its
repudlaton was an after thought, when he had
secured the tempting prize for which, despite
his assertion TO the contrary in his letter, he had
laboret long, or else-and we should be sorry
| to believe this-it was settled purpose to de
ceive, to secure the suffrages Of the delegates
and then to repudiate the principles which SO
cured his nomination, and thus to deceive mel
whose only fault was believing him true to hi
professions and those Of his friends.

The Situation In VIrgInIa.

From the Richmond Examiner, Sept. O.
The news is important. The enemy's cam
paign In Georgia is finished for the present.
That immense army which left Chattanooga
four months ago is shattered. Although sue
cessful, 1t can do nothing more until heavily
reinforced, rested, supplied with new clothing,
arms, and ammunition. 1t must remain at
Atlanta till completely reorganized; and that Is
a work which cannot be effected In day, nor
in month.
But the campaign in Virginia is not finished.
The fall OF Atlanta is the signal for a desperate
effort against Richmond. All the troops of the
Mississippi are In motion towards Virginia.
General Grant announces that he wants one
hundred thousand fresh men TO capture Rich
mond; but with those fresh troops he will GER
tainly succeed.
That he will get the troops is quite proba-
BILE. 1t Is still more probable that he will cx-
pend the force under his hand in an immediate,
desperate effort to push his lines through the
South.side road.
| We hope that 1t is needless TO call attention
To these prospects. We hope 1t is still more
needless TO dllate on the importance Of holding
our own in Virginia at this time. 1t Is easy TO
do lt-easer than ever before, If Lo fatal blum

CHANGE OF FEELING IN THE ARMY

gentleman from the Army of the Potomac
who has accompanied that army in all Its cam
paigns, from Manassas to Petersburg, reports
that an entire change has taken place in the
sentiment of the soldiers generally, and most
Of the officers In regard to Mcclellan. His let
ter of acceptance has dlvested from their minds
every vestlge of respect which they felt for him
before. His faint praise of the war policy, un-
accompanied by a direct denunciation OF tho
peace platform, has filed the patriotic hearts
of our soldiers with disgust.
