Mcclellan Dad.

George Mcclellan, the famous and loved
commander OF the Army Of the Potomac, died
at his Orange Mt home In New Jersey early
yesterday morning from neuralgia OF the heart.
He had been somewhat ailing since his return
from western trip about six weeks ago. but
his case was not regarded serious one till
shortly before the end.
Gen Mcclellan was born in Philadelphia
December 3, 1926, the son Of a distinguished
physician and he graduated from West Point
in 1912, ranking second in class OF 80 and
first in class OF engineering. He served in
the Mexican war, and at the opening of the re-
bellion offered his services TO the Union
in a short, brilliant and decisive cam
paign he cleaned the rebels out OF
West Virginia and saved that state to the
Union, and after the disaster of Bull Run was
appointed to the command-in. n.chief of the
Union armies. He disciplined and compacted
the disorganized and displrted hordes about
Washington into the most efficient army the
world ever saw, and formed comprehensive
plan for crushing cut the rebellion, which had
to be adopted before success was reached.
He was at that time the most popular
and trusted m a n in the / p,
but the llfated Peninsula cam
pagn, which inevitably ended in dis
aster from the fatuous policy at Wash
ington of keeping half of his troops away
from him and scattered round Virginia in half
a dozcn separate armies, turned the public feel
ing against him. Indeed, the Washington med
ding, which insisted on constantly weakening
him in the face of the enemy, very nearly re-
suited in the destruction of his army and he
only rescued it by one OF the most mastery
military movements on record, in the "Seven
Days Battles" Pope WAS then placed in COM
mand ard his army driven back to Washing
ton in great mass of confusion, when the
necks, appealed to Mcclellan to save them
and he responded patriotically, rehabilitatng
the army and winning the victories Of South
Mountain IN d Antietam, when he was
again removed from command just as he was
moving out upon skilfully devised campaign.
Mcclellan doubtless had shortcomings as a
military man. In those early days of the war
no had not acquired the faculty OF swift move
ment which was afterwards learned to be nee
essary. For this reason alone he failed in a
splendid opportunity which blunder OF Lees
had offered to smash his army in detail. But
his patriotism was of The lofliest and most un
selfish hiud. Such was the indignation of his
army when he was superseded after Antetam
that it would eagerly have followed him in an
attack on Washington. II was Mcclellan, insult.
ed and abused as he HAD been, that quelled the
angry shoutings of the soldiers at Warrenton
junction with words of patriotism and suhnis-
sion. When the Democracy nominated him
for president in 1864, he met the "peacc plat
form" with those words Of magnificent cour
age, that no peace was to be thought of that
didn't include the preservation OF the Union.
"Little Mac deserved far better of his
country than be ever received.

The celored peoples state fair in Mississippi
was opened Tuesday by Gov Lowry, accom-

Guiding ex Senator Bruce" "a colored citizen
of Vicksburg made the Introductory address,
and Gen Lowry, IN response, paid tributa to
Mr. Bruce, and was loudly applauded for his
allusion to the ''psaceful and happy relations
NOW ex;stinp between the two races in this
state" The people down there don't seem to
know anything about the terrible race conflicts
which political demagogues tell us are raging.

post-office department. undertakes to
carry messages at II cents each to
any one of the 500 post-offices and
deliver the same by special messenger
at any time between the hours of
seven in the morning and twelve at
night, to the person the message is
addressed to, provided he does not re-
side more than one mile from the post
Office. The special messenger gets
eight of ten cents paid for the special
delivery stamp, but his compensation
is limited to $50 per month. S.

for this city. We are of the opinion
that the special delivery system will
be found useful and convenient in
many cases and in large cities will
prove of great value to the people.
In cities where the free delivery sys-
tenn is in force, the special delivery
letters are not limited to n mile from
the st-office, but will be delivered
at any place inside the free delivery
limits.

The Altoona Review says of Captain
Z. p. Motley, of the Sturgeon Point
life saving station: "No man has
ever had charge of the Point station
that was as well liked by all people,
or that has attended to his official du-
ties more vigilantly, Systematically
and successfully than Eugene Motley.
He has preserved and kept everything
about the station in good shape. x
Z The utmost courtesy has
Away been shown all visitors at the
station by the captain and also by the
crew. This county (Al-
cona) will produce scores of its best
citizens, from all parties, to testify to
the good name Of Captain Motley"
The same paper also speaks very
highly of Captain Motley and his
crew for the manner in which they
rendered assistance to the barge Cen
essee Chief short time ago. AS re-
CARDS ourself, we have known Captain
Motley many years, and found him
honest, faithful, obliging and atten-
tive to his duties, and we don't believe
the charges against him. A person
who has lived many years in place
and borne good reputation, deserves
fair treatment, both from the people
and the newspapers, and he should
have a fair trial before he is found
guilty of dishonest or dishonerable
actions.

We are indebted to the post-office
department for a list of post-offices
in the United States which become
special delivery Offices on and after
October LIST, 1885. The list contains
the names of $50 post-offices, of
which 26 are in Michigan. The AL
pena post office is one of the Michi-
gan special delivery Offices. The law
provides that every city in the U. S.
whose population was 1000 or over,
according to the u. S. census of 1880,
shall become a special delivery Office.
A letter sent to person at one of the
special deliveries, is carried by mes
senger to the person the letter is adj
dressed to. The letters are to be de-
livered as late as IL o'clock at night,
but the messenger is not obliged to
travel more than one mile from the
post-office Of said city. To entitle a
letter to the benefits of the special
delivery system, it will require two

vided the letter does not weigh over
one ounce. For every ounce or frac-
ton thereof the extra charge will be
two cents. Surprising a person de-
