TFrom the Albany Journal. ]

We have always inclined to the opinion that
Gen. Mcclellan wss fn the main man Of
good Intentions. That he suffered himseIfto
become the tool Of dcmagogues, aud held the
degrading relation of Representative
man" to sem,secessionists, may have argued
rather want Of moral stamina than want OF
principle. But it the story that comes to us
from the other side of the Atlantic
has any truth to it, he is, if possible. worse
patriot than be fs General. The tale
runs that an American gentleman Of high
standing Btroilfng into coffee house in
Queenstown, Ireland, overheard conveesa-
tiou between West Point officer out Of the
service nnd IN Eoglishmau, in which ths
former eaated that he had recently paid
visit to tho Young Napoleon" at London,in
which the graye-dtgger Of the Chickahomlny
Swamps expressed himself to the following
effect; "' You did stight to resign. It is i
'sd;sgrace 10 belong to the American army.
1.-THE country has gone to ruin. I staid III it
T. '.as long as I could, and have left it in dis
"gust.'h
Did Mcclellan give -utterance to these
words? For the honor Of THE service, for the
honor of the American name, for the honor
Of our common manhood, we trust not.
Much may be pardoned in a man snaartlng
unter the sting ofpersonal d~feat and profess
sional humiliation, but the person capable Of
Using such words as the above, Is nothing
b. tier than black hearted renegade. HMc-
sC1e1lan said what Is charged. We can only
pray that he will not still further disgrace
the land of his birth By returning to it.

The Richmond Examiner, Of March 25th,

IL carried out In the most thorough style.
Not even West Vitginia is forgotten; aud
the occasion was kanaWha, which fs bounded
By the Ohio river. The vote seems not to
have been very full. It was as follows:
House Of De1eEates-V. Hendrick, /; G. q.

agree to stand, one for the Senate, and the
other for the House of Deleeatess They
