.T;me discloses wonders" Such was
Tho exclamation of the distinguished
r.o,ch orator, when commenting on one
of the periodical revolutions Of his coun-
49, He was referring to the rise and fall
80 beroes-French heroes. 1t Is a very
little time since George B. was in the fine
obscurity of the engineering corps Of the
U. S. Army. Then he theodolited it in
the more lucrative position Of railroad
surveyor. As the war came, so cropped
up Geo. B. A short time ago we were
hurrahing for him as second Napoleon
when the parallel was wholly in the i'm
agination of some of his military superiors
and associates and by them innoculated
in the admiration veins Of too credulous
and a then war-inexperienced people.
Then long persistence, patience, tenacity
of abiding BY the pulled reputation Of
George B. Not until cold soldiers" as
they modestly called themselves, battle
worn veterans, raised in their saddles,
with flashing sword, in invoking gesture,
and declared Mcclellan coward or
traitor, and sealed the patriotic proclama-
ton with their life's blood net until
then, and after, was the grace of popular
ity taken from the brow of rudder-rider
on the gunboat Galena! A retirement
from the army, and altogether from the
affections Of the people, was the immedi-
ate result Of that terrible pursuit of Lees
army from Antietam-five miles in six
days. 4 silent but not secluded vacation
was improved by the young Napoleon
and his abiding friends-the northern
sympathisers with and aiders and abettors
of treason-in such mode as to secure for
George B. the infamous and everlasting
renown of candidacy for the Democratic
party for President Of the United States
in 1864. His incompetency, his coward
ice and treason, as shown and illustrated
IN his campaigns, may not be noted and
remembered in daily recollection by Amer
can citizens Of third generation hence;
but this presidential candidacy will be a
notorious fact of Unreasonable shame.
This portion Of his biography must neces-
sarily be subject for incidental mention
and reference by every speaker from every
stump in every National canvass that shall
hereafter be made. The most ill-informed
man in the country will understand this
section of George BIS GEOGRAPHICALLY
appreciate it, execrate his memory for it.
The great battle for the perpetuity of our
republican institutions was fought on the
civil fields of the last Presidential canvass.
We skip the defeat Of George BIS high
aspirations in the political contest Of 81,
and come to the point that suggested these
illusions to his history. The discounted
and disgraced chieftain of copperheadism
is in Europe. He is taking tour for his
health. How fortunate the time of his
absence. Who 80 fit to receive, and, as
an informal expatriate, welcome his
brother Democrats whom Andy Johnson
is about to give Tckets-of-Leave. We
place it on prophetic record, that George
B. and Gen. Regain and associates who
may be allowed to leave the country, WILL
within six months, be dining and hobnob-
bling with each other in second.class res
taurants in Paris. 1t will be fit " social
re-gathering of the traitors who have
conspired to render this . long and dread
full struggle. II Lee can raise funds to
procure steerage passage to Havre, he,
too, will be in the congenial party-prob-
ably at the head of the table. But JEFF.
Davis will not be there. Where .oiH he
