was not COW. This might seem

On md Thnrsday, the Demooratlc

on last Thursday, the Democratic
State Convention Of New Jersey,
nominated Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan,
for Governor. This nomination will
meet the hearty approval not only
of the people of New jersey, but Of
the whole American people. The
jealousy of weak men and the obsti-
nate will of strong minds kept Cen
oral Mcclellan from shining with
that brilliancy which was his right,
and from receiving that support
which was his due. Had he been
sustained in the late war, as Grant
vas afterwards, the war would not
have lasted half so long, and less
lives would have been sacrificed.

Senator Patterson Of South Caro-
LIMA, has been indicted by a grand
jury in his State on various charges
and is in danger of being arrested
and taken home from Washington
for trials at any time. twas thought
for awhile that he could plead his
privilege as a Senator and escape
trial, but it seems to be admitted
now that he cannot thus shield him
self against the felonies charged, and
the Republicans begin to fear that
their rapidly receding majority in
that body will be diminished one by
this process.

The Turks have astonised the world
by their valorous defense against the
Russian invaders, and by the indi.
vidual heroism they have displayed
on the battle field. The teachings of
the Koran that the souls of the faith
full who die in battle in the cause of
Moslem go direct to Paradise, tend to
make the followers of Mohammcd
fearless of death, even if they do not
court it. An army thus inspired, led
by officers trained in the best foreign
schools, in England in Germany, and
even the United States, might have
been expected to make a gallant de,
tense. The expectation has not been
disappointed.
