Col. WILLIAM MCCANDLEss is the DEM
ocratic candidate for auditor-genersl in Penn
sylvania, and is often spoken of by the party
as the soldiers candidate. The following let
ter from the Colonel dated July 80, 1864,
shows what kind of soldier he was at that
time:-@ :
No. $50 WALNUT ST., PHILADELPHIA.
Sir,-I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt OF a communication from the Secre-
tary of War, dated the 21st inst, informing
me of my promotion to the position of brig
adler general of volunteers. This appoint
ment l decline to accept. In order that my
motives for so doing may be clearly under
stood, will state that when those who adj
minister this government readopt the original
intention of prosecuting this war for the re-
storation of the Union, I, together with hun-
dreds Of officers and thousands of men-at
present out of service-will be found ready
and willing to return. Until such time con-
slider thepost of honor to be the private sta
tion.
WILLIAM MCCANDLEss
To Brig Gen. L. Thomas, ACjt-Gen. u. S. A.
The Pennsylvania people, in view of this
fact, will not probably call McCandless to any
"post of honor" but leave him to enjoy the
sweets Of retirement.

The New York World says that Through
out its whole existence the Republican party
has been nothing but organized hatred of the
southern states and southern statesmen. :"
OF course, then, says the Philadelphia Press
the three amendments to the constitution,
which are but the triumph of the Republican
party's principles, are but organized legalize
hatred of the southern states and statesmen
and what becomes of the "new departure" ?

Found Drowned.

New York, October 23.--The body
found in East river this morning has been
identified as that of young Pryor, son OF
Roger A. Pryor. 1t is not known in
what manner he came to his death, and
perhaps the mystery may never be cleared
up. A peculiar sadness attaches to this
severe domestic affliction in the bright
promise of the manner and loveable
character Of this young man. He had
but little more than year ago graduated
at Princeton with higher honors than had
ever before been won in that institution
by the most distinguished of its Alumni.
The Intervening period has been spent
BY him in great part OF Cambridge, in
England, where he won prize in math,,
ematics. A few months ago he returned
to the United States, and has since been
prosecuting the study of law in the Office
of his father.
