Arnold and Mcclellan.

In connecting these two names we don,
mean to draw any invidious comparison be.
tween the two Generals. Gen. Arnold was
an able and successful fighting officer
Gen. Mcclellan never was. Arnold led in
many hard fought battle the patriot sol
diers of the Revolution, against the Tories
and British. Mcclellan was the idoized
commander for season of the armies of the
Republic. Arnold in turn led the British
and Tory forces against the armies of Wash,
ington. Mcclellan is in his turn standard
bearer of the faction that oppose the soldiers
in every thing, and who are mouthed by JEFF
Davis Rebel hosts in terms of praise.
Arnold rds a traitor; we don't assert that
Mcclellan is, but the coincidence is singular
that they should both in turn be chosen
leaders by the friends of, and bitterest foes to,
their country.

A Hard Blow.

On last Monday Gen. Sheridan struck the
friends of the Mcclellan faction one of the
hardest blows they ever received, placing
some 1000 of them hors du combat, he sent
the scattered army of Early whirling through
Winchester. throwing away guns and bag,
gage. The Rebel soldiers greeted our ad-
vancing columns with shouts for Little Mac,
who in turn answered back with defiant
cheers for Old Abe. But when that day $
battle was done the servants of Abraham
had captured, wounded and slain 1000 OF
the servants of Little Mac, and taken much
friends of Little Mac in the North they held
down their heads and wept sore, for great
was their distress.

We learn that letter endorsing
Mcclellan has lately been received by gen
tleman in Baltimore from Mr. Severn Teakle
Wallis. Since the controversy with Senator
Sherman we have not heard of Teakle, and
certainly his present position does not tally
with his infatuated letter of that date. Then
the illustrious /" martyr to Southern rights
exhausted the language in denunciaton of
his arrest and all the participators therein.
.Nop he advocates the election to the Presi-
dency of aman the only sensible act of whose
military career was the incarceration of the
conspirators at Frederick. We learn, how
ever, tina. Teakle wrote the letter from New
York city, and when we consider that the
Hon. Ben Wood says McClellan's private
talk is perfectly acceptable to him and that
Seymour " friends are Little Macs chief
advisers, our surprise is lessened Perhaps,
learning that the distinguished gentleman
late from Fort Warren was in the city, Fitz
Napoleon may have sent for him and prom.
Used that as a requital for his wrongs fifty
aboltionists, with Seward and Stanton at
their head, should be hung as soon as the
Democratic President should be elected
Perhaps he may have promised Teakle seat
in the Cabinet next to Vallandigham. Per.
haps he may have intmated his desire to
send him to Spain, a land which Mr.. Wallis
describes in a "book !" or perhaps he may
have signifcd a purpose of making him Dis
trict Attorney for Maryland, so as to give
Kane fair trial. Who knows?
In view of any of these things coming to
pass, we advise Severn to insist that Kane
shall again be Chief of Police that Bradley
johnson S rihemen shall take the place of
the Delaware cavalry; that the Maryland
Guards shall again garrison the city of Bal
timore; that Trimble shall relieve Wallace;
that Winder shall be made commander at
Fort McHenry, so as to take good care of
abolition prisoners; that the troops going
back from the Capitol under the armistice
shall not pass over the sacred soil of Mary.
land; that Winter Davis, Montgomery
Blair, Swami, Creswell, Webster, Hicks and
few others shall be hung up with Seward
and Stanton. and that perfect peace shall
reign in Maryland, with all constitutional
rights respected to the letter, including the
right to larrup your own niger and steal
United States property. In default of all
this, let Teakle tell the Young Napoleon
promptly that the Maryland Peace men will
not support him. The little grave digger
may stout it out for time, but he is bound
to succumb. The only thing now standing
in the way of the promise being kept is the
fact that every Rebel in Maryland will just
have to serve Father Abraham nolens volens
during the next four years, as they have in
the past. This may not suit the little Jack
of Spades; it may not suit the fastidious
martyr of Fort Warren; but it suits the
loyal people, and these worthless will have to
succumb.

Every Man to His Calling.

In times of war men Of military talent al

all former wars, is strikingly illustrated and
verified in the present Rebellion, by the ca

evidences of their ability to lead the Union

Loves Labor Lost,

The Democrat labors hard in last week s
issue to prove that the threatened split of
the Pace faction from Mcclellan was all
healed. There was no necessity for this. -

Lee Army, were throwing up their hats for
Mcclellan. That isn't the place where the
split is to be looked for. The loyal Demo.

The Mcclellan Quartette,

Gentle reader, it is not new product of
the muse dedicated to the Hero of Retreats
that we are,about to introduce to your notice,
but a bevy Of youthful orators that have come
up out of the ranks of Seccssia To pine
through Cecil county d" for the Union. =
Their Exhibitions are styled :" Democratic
Mass Meetings. They offer to sing free for
the edificatior of all opposed to 8 Disunion "
80 Exorbitant Taxation 80 Negro Equal
ity =" Revolutionary Schemes of Adolf
tionists." These are four fine ballads which
will doubtless tickle the ears of seccssionists
hugely. The Rebel cause in Cecil is entirely
desperate but show of common Grafton
for the good old times must needs be kept
up after fashion, like the celebration of
Christmas and SO our youthful quartette
band will sing tonight at Fair Hill, and on
next Wednesday evening at Battle Swamp,
the four abovc-named ballads, in which
McClelan's fetes on the fields of bloody
Mars and the pastoral triumphs of the Peace
full Pendleton will be entwined by the muse
of cloqucnce into beautiful rosary to lay
on the tomb of those two heroes of the
Dimokracy" in November.
Considering how near is their day of DOOM
these swans will doubtless sing very plain
tive and sweetly The 18th and 18th of next
month being the last days of that great and
time-honored institution, political negroi3m
some very moving passages will be cited in
its history, and very tender strains touched
to its memory. Many tender associations of
the minstrcls are doubtless interviewer with
the time honorcd institution = many of our
fathers have been made poor by the divine
right of negro ownership. and their sons
still poorer by their devotion to the same
sacred privilege. But, alas, these things are
passing away. The Abolitionists are over
running the land, changing her negro novels
to comfortable dwellings for white men, and
making her barren and slave accursed fields
to blossom as the rose. The minstrels will
sing of the decline and fall of this great and
peculiar Institution, and the last DAYS of the
slave era in Maryland. The great battles in
the history of the shareholders Rebellion

speeches Pcndleton has made in favor of dis

The Victory in the Valley.

The Valley of the Shenandoah, heretofore
our VALLEY of Humiliation, has become
the "Valley of Triumph Gen. Sheridan
has turned back the tide of defeat, and won
victory, decisive. complete, and of sub
stantial results. The battle on Monday last
was desperate one, the most prolonged
and severe yet fought in the Valley-the
Rebels were in strong force, and contested
the field obstinately, but the result was de-
cisive and glorious. The enemy was whip.
ped at all points, and our supremacy in the
Valley established.
The result of the battle may thus be sum-
med up from the official dispatches. The
enemy was attacked in an intrenched posi-.
ton, his lines carried at all points, and his
army forced to retreat in disorder through
Winchester, which is now in our possession.
We captured over six thousand prisoners,
more than three thousand unhurt, and three
thousand wounded. We also captured five
pieces of artillery and fifteen battle flags
Al his dead were left on the field. The
loss of Rebel General officers shows how
severely they were punished. Gems. Rhodes,
Gordon, Ramseur and Wharton were killed,
and Gems. Bradley r. johnson formerly of
Maryland,) Iorke and Goodwin Wounded
The total Rebel loss in killed, wounded and
captured will hardly be less than eight thou
sand, a heavy total out of an army of thirty
thousand men.
Our own loss Gen. Sheridan saws is Sc.
we're, but it can scarcely be half as heavy as
that oft the enemy, as we lost no prisoners and
retained possession of our wounded. OF
General officers we had only one killed.
Gen. Russell, of the Sixth Corps and
Gems. Upton, Mcintosh and Chapman
wounded. Gen. Sheridan describes the
conduct of our officers and men as superb.
and makes special mention of the gallant
conduct of Generals Wright, Crook, Emory
and Torbert
