re- We notice by late foreign news that
Gen Mcclellan has been saying that he saw
no prospect of a speedy termination OF the
war" He left the United States to travel In
foreign lands while his country was engaged
in death struggle with treason, a treason he
was not able to put down when soldier and
imagined that no one else could, and falling
to be elected as President left the country
in disgust. Richmond. the rebel capitol, he
tried to take and could not has been taken
by Grant. What prospect OF speedy ter
mination" he may see IN this when the
news reaches him we suppose we shall
hear bv the next arrival. Like others, he was
so blinded by copperheadism, that his wishes
were father to his thoughts, and like the de-
funct e1-President, his greatness in history
depended on his country's disgrace and
destruction.
Buchanan predicted be was the last Pres.
ident Of the United States. But alas for the
hopes of traitors and their allies, Grant,

EST Last fall, during the Presidential

ESF Last fall, during the Presidential
campaign, when we heard Democrats eu-
logising Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, we
told them they would live to see the day
when they would praise the goodness, sense,
and patriotism of President Lincoln. We
did not think, at the time, that the day was
so near at hand. Hear the New York World,
one of the most bitter and INSCRIPTIONS
Mcclellan papers 1t says:
HAD Mr.. Lincoln started with his emanci-
patton policy in the Spring Of 1851, his ad-
ministration would have been wrecked by
the moral aid which would have been given
the South by the Northern conservatives,
including a large part of the Republican
party. Had he refused to adopt the emanci-
patton policy much beyond the Autumn of
l862 the Republican party would have re-
fused public support to the war, and the
South would have gained independence b.
their aid"
"If we lock for the elements Of character
which have contributed to the extraordinary
and constantly growing popularity of Mr..
Lincoln. they are not far to seek. The kindly,
companionable, joTial turn of his disposition,
free from every taint OF afectauon, pueTlle
vanity, or paroenu insolence, conveyed a
strong impression of worth. sense, and solid
| ity. as we'll as goodness of heart. He never
disclosed the slightest symptom that he was
dazzled or elated by his great position, or
that il was incumbent upon him to be any
body but plain Abraham Lincoln. Mr..
| Lincoln's freedom from any snch upstart af-
fectations was one of the good points of his
character; it betokened his genuineness and
sincerity"
"He has given a signal proof of strong
and manly nature in the fact that although
| he surrounded himself with the most consid-
erable and experienced statesmen Of his
party, none of them were able to take ad-
vantage of his inexperience and gain any
iconspicuous aseendancy over him. All his
chief decisions have been his own formed,

ra Never since the formation Of t

pr Never since the formation Of the
Government has there been an act creating
such intense feeling as the assassination OF
the President Never since the death Of the
"Father Of his Country" has one fallen who
was so deeply and universally beloved, whose

reer Of honest patriotism, or whose death was
so sincerely mourned, as ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

standing these palpable facts, and improba-
BILE as it may seem, yet there are those IN
our midst and in many sections OF the coun-
try who express pleasure rt the outrage and
who sav they have "beard nothing since the
war began that pleased them so much" We
are glad TO know that this pleasure is not
expressed by men of intelligence who under
stand and appreciate the condition o. the
country, but only by those whose ignorance
and stupidity are only egualed by their love OF
and sympathy with treason, and who if they
had been sent into the rebellious States three
years ago would have had justice meted out
to them and have found their proper place.
but they have been allowed TO remain here
and it is the old story, repeating itself CT the
Merciful Man warming the Adder IN bis
breast, only to be stung to death. Even Lee,
Ewel and other leaders of the Rebellion,
who have lost their honor and risked their
lives in the Unholy cause, express sorrow and
adherence at the monstrous outrage, which
is not only infamy to the actors, but stain
upon the bright escutcheon of our country
and shame on the civilization of the nine
teenth century. No punishment is too Sc
we're for these dogs. In New York and other
of our cities and towns they are dealt with in
just and summary manner-many of them
being sent to Penitentary to contemplate
their disgrace. If their hands are not gnilty
Of blood their hearts surely are, and all that
restrained them from taking part in the hor-
rid tragedy was their liliy-iivered gizzards.
Let the dogs be remembered, and let II be
charged against them as something for which
they will have to give an account.

principle or idea it was that kept this con-

in the Declaration of Independence giving
liberty, not only to the people of this country,

was that which gave promise that in due time
the weight should be lifted from the shoul-

DEATH OF JAMES FULTON.

The death of James Fulton, the talented
and accomplished editor of the Wilmington,
N. G. Journal, has called forth from his con-
temporaries many well merited and glowing
tributes to his worth and ability. We do not
think it too much to say that Mr. Fulton, be-
fore the war, conducted the ablest paper in
North Carolina, The Fayetteville Observer,
under the polished Hale, and the Raleigh
Standard, under the sagacions Holden, both
semi-weekly papers, were the only ones in the
State that, in our opinion, could compare with
the journal, under Fulton Among those
who added much to the social enjoyment of
Wilmington during the war, no one was more
genial than Fulton. His dry humor and
sparkling wit will long be remembered in his
adopted home.
