 R'eri to my dying day. 
 How in Viiginia's miry swanij^ 
 
 Week after week we lay. 
 
 Your stars shone briji;htly, I,ii,tle Mac, 
 Your gloves wera white as snow ; 
 ■ But icp, poor soldiers in the mire, 
 Were tlounderiug to and fro. 
 
 The rebs laughed at us, iJttle Mac, 
 Who could their mirth condemn i 
 
 V\ e toiled like muskrats in the mnd, 
 The negroes toiled for them. 
 
 'Twas kindrsess in you, IJttle Mac, 
 
 To set no negro free, 
 'Twaa kindness to your s^oitthern friend f. 
 
 But rather hard on me. 
 
 'Twas manly in you, Little Mac, 
 
 To leave our toes their slaves, 
 They doubtless needed them to dig 
 
 Their trenches and their graves. 
 
 But 'twas not easy. Little Ma', 
 
 For us, woi-n out witJi toil, 
 To meet such foemen as we met 
 
 f pon the sacred soil. 
 
 They fought us fiercely, Little Mac — 
 
 Had nought to do but fight ; 
 Our y-uiis were rusty with neglect ; 
 
 tlxw spades alone were bright. 
 
 And you remember, Little Mac, 
 
 That famous "change of base ;" 
 To us that fought that seven-days' fight, 
 h was no pleasant i-ac©; 
 
 Y<nt say 'twas eaity. Little Mac, 
 
 But /reinember well, 
 'Twas hard to see friends fall so fast, 
 
 And leav3 them where they fell. 
 
 And all who fought there, Litttle Ma«, 
 
 Will tell, and tell you true, 
 That it's no easy thing to save 
 
 Freedom and slavery too. 
 
 ]\'o, not so easy, ].,ittle Mac, 
 
 For I was there to see ; 
 And when you try that work again. 
 
 Pray do not call on me.

SOLII^OGiXJIES OJE' -A. I^^A-TI^IOT. 
 
 Mac Wounded. — We regret to state that the well known General George 
 B. McClellan, so seriously wounded by General Sh< ridan during his r-cent ar- 
 bitvarj assiiult upon Messrs. Kaily, Rhodes, and others of our southern brethern 
 in the Stieuaadoah vaUy, is not expected to recover. Ilis friends iu New York 
 are frantic over his condition, and the most experienced physicians do not think 
 he will live beyond November. 
 
 Gbn. Logan, a life long democrat of Illinois, is out for Lincoln. He says 
 that he heard but one offi'-tr in the army of Atlauta avow hispurp^.-fie to go for 
 McClellan, for he said, '" the tendency of supporting the Chicitgo nominee is to 
 Btrenghten the rebellion," 
 
 John A. Dix said : " If any man hauls down the American flag, shoot him on 
 the spot." George B. McCleilan eaid : "If any maa hauls down the Americaa 
 flag, 'exjiaust the resourcwe of stateBmanship' to induce him to haul it up 
 again." 
 
 Mac's Record. — War men might stomach McCfeJlan and his record, but 
 how can they swallow with him Pendleton and his record, wSth the platform 
 and its contractors! 
 
 Pendleton's Record. — A portion of the Democracy sustain McClellan on 
 hia record. On whose record do they sustain Peudltton. 
 
 Shoulder TO Shoulder. — While McClellan was in the army, Pendleton was 
 voting against paying him. Now, both stand shoulder to shoulder. 
 
 A Democratic paper said on Saturday last : — " The frst armistice has been 
 asked by General Sherman, and granted by Hood." This is a mistake. The 
 first armistice was asked for by General Lee and granted by General McClellao, 
 after the battle of Antfeiam, under cover of which Lee escaped with liis entire 
 army across the Potomac. 
 
 If you are a friend of law and order you will go for Lincoln and Johnson. 
 If jou are for guerilla warfare, highway robbery, bushwhacking and assassina- 
 tion, you will go for McClellan and Pendleton, without any advice of ours. 
 
 When the rebels invade Pennsylvania they generally come down the Shen- 
 andoah, but now Sheridan has shut the doah, they can hardly corae the Shenan- 
 agHn. 
 
 " Take two of earth's detested names, 
 
 'Iscariot' and * lago,' 
 And ' trembling coward,' and you have 
 The conclave of Chicago." 
 
 Not Bad. — On the reception of the news of Sheridan's victory at one of our 
 popular saloons in this city, the following colloquy occurred between the bar- 
 keeper, whose name was Dan, and a customier named Jim : 
 
 *' Good morning, Jim." 
 
 "Good morning, Dan, what's the news?" 
 
 " Another glorious victory — wliat will you drink ? "

 Yes, after the lion has eaten the lamb. 
 
•'Are You for Peace, liitlle MacT' 
 
 " Are you for peace?'' 'Vallandigham said, 
 
 " Are you for peace, Little MacV" 
 And he jrave a sliglittoss of his head, 
 
 And palled him well on ihe back. 
 
 " It's a very strong point,'' Vallandigh.im said, 
 
 "It's a very ntrong point, Little Mac! 
 My platP)rm of peace is much belter than lead, 
 
 To bring our friend Jefferson back. 
 
 " I have traveled the South, as you very well know, 
 
 I have traveled the South all through, 
 And I found that your fame had 7iot traveled slow, 
 
 For they were all in favor of you. 
 
 '•I'm for peace, Little Afac! '' ValLnndigham said, 
 
 "I'm for stopping the war to-day ! 
 If you get on my platform with aoldier-like tread. 
 
 We can easily manage the pay. 
 
 " Planks that are planks !" Vallandighara said, 
 
 "Are planks that only mean peace ! 
 And a frown and a shake of your soldier-like head 
 
 Will make all hostilities cease. 
 
 " Will you call to the crew under Butler the Beast 7 
 
 Will you call to the crew, Little Mac ? 
 Will you call to the minions dial darken the East, 
 
 And send them to Vankee-Iand back? 
 
 " Will you say to the hordes of old Lincoln, the King, 
 
 Just say to the hordes little Mac— 
 They must stop all the war — for 'tis not the thing, 
 
 To win our friend Jefferson back !' 
 
 Then Little Mac looked at the buttons he wore, 
 
 And he gave all his buttons a look ; 
 And the epaulettes that on his shoulder he bore, 
 
 And the sword at his side as it shook. 
 
 Then Little Mac leaned quite aback in his chair, 
 
 With bis foot on the table sat he, 
 And he answered — •' I reckon that you can prepare 
 
 Just such a nice platform for me ! 
 
 " I'm a soldier you know ! I'm a soldier so brave, 
 
 And can fix it jusl ready to suit; 
 Ton go for the platform, — ' twil <lo for a show, 
 
 And I'll put a spur in my boot!'' 
 
 So Vallandigham Maximus brought out iiis tools, 
 
 For a builder of platforms was lie. 
 And he chalked out a thing with his pencil and rule 
 
 That Jefferson gloried to see. 
 
 But little Mac thought it was hardly the thing 
 
 For a soldier so bravo as he. 
 And he put on the spurs, and gave it a fling 
 
 For the people who fell at his knee. 
 
 And the platform is there with its tottering planks, 
 
 And the soldier is there to-day : — 
 May they both reach the soltly moss-covereu banks 
 
 Where the river is salt for aye !

 Ist. McCldlau planned and ortloreJ the aJvacc* 'upon Ball's JJlafT, and waethe oause 
 of that siau(^l»ter. 
 
 2d. MoClellan wasted a month iu besieging Yorktown, defended by a garrison o/ only 
 8,000 men, while he hud 55,000. 
 
 3d. McCiellan eu(J"er«d his army to be surprised, with heavy loss, at Fair Oaks. 
 
 4th. McCldlan by nt-gleeting to fortify his flanks and rear, all )wed his whole position 
 before Richmond to be taken iu reveree, and ordsred a disastrous retreat befora a single 
 corps of the euemey. 
 
 6th. SleClellan ordered a retreat from Slalvern Hill without caus« or justification, after 
 our men had achieved a glorious victory there. 
 
 6th. McCiellan by thwt retreat prevented Pope from coming to his aid by the way of 
 Lynchburtr, and thus pi-ecipitated upon Pope's email force tlie whole of Lee's army. 
 
 7th. McCiellan neglected for thr-'e weeks to obey an order to move his army north- 
 ward to effect a junction with Pope, and that time Lee used to move his own army 
 against Pope. 
 
 8th. McCJiiJau withheld rcinforoements and supplies from Pope, which would have 
 enabled tlie iMtler to beat back Lee successfully. 
 
 9ih. McCh'llan opposed all ihe military and naval expeditious against the rebel sea- 
 board, which he knew were essential to render the blockade perfect. 
 
 10th. McCiellan opposed the divi(~ion of th« Army of the Potomac inl<» corps, and only 
 did divide it when peremtoril}' ordered to do so by Secretary Stanton, although he must 
 have known that no army of that size could be maimged without such divi^jion. 
 
 11th. McCiellan neglected or refused to take the held at the Jiead of the Army of the 
 Potomac and commence a campaign until compelled to do so by the orders of the Presi- 
 dttit. 
 
 12th. McCiellan suffered the Potomac to be blockaded by the enemy for months, when 
 he could have prevented it. 
 
 12th. McCiellan did not participate in the battles fought by his army, but was in every 
 ease distant from the battle, leaving the subordinates to manage for themselves. 
 Ji.. 14th. McCiellan delayed his part of the operations iu West Virginia until the enemy, 
 whose retreat from Rich ilountain he was to stop, liad been beaten by llosecraus, and 
 e8ca[)ed. 
 
 15th. McCiellan magnified Quaker guns and scattered pickets of the rebels at Munson'a 
 Hill into a formidable fortification, defended by a strong garrison, and began a careful 
 campaign against it, until an adventurous Union man went up to the place and discovered 
 the cheat. 
 
 16th. McCJelkin suffered himself to be deluded in lij^e manner at Mauasses, and was 
 undeceived in precisaly the same way. 
 
 17th. McCiellan never seemed to have any accurate knowledge of the rebel forces, as 
 he reejularly magnifieid theh* strength on the autiiority of pretended sfdes. 
 ■ 18th. McCiellan allowed Buell to kfep an army of 120,000 men i lie, (it bay b*-fore a 
 rebel fo*'ce «f less than 50,000, while Hulleck's forces uuder Grant were doing the very 
 work confided to Buell. 
 
 19th. McCiellan kept the whole immense Arm3- of the Potomac lying idle, through , 
 long winter, without ordering the coii!?ti'uction of winter quarters to shelier the men fron 
 ike inclement weather; the only apparent reason for this course being a desire to con 
 ceal the intention not to move the army. 
 
 20th. McCiellan sacriliced 12,000 men at Harper's Ferry by withholding Fraiiklin' 
 corps', either fiom succouring them or reinforcing Burnside at Aiitietam. 
 
 21st. McCiellan caused the slaughter of the Corn Exchange regiment by the foolisi 
 cros-ing at Shepardstown, Md., in precise!}' the same maisner as at Ball's Blutf. 
 
 22d. McCiellan refused to move his army against Lee after Antielam on various pre- 
 texts that it could not be moved, although upon being superseded by Burnside the 
 latter moved the army with the greatest ouderity.
