The Pennsyivanmia October Election— The Repudiation Pemdletoa the Only Hope tor MeCiella The demoralization of the party press is the first and the worst of the inevitable evils at- tending a Presidential agitation. We have seen much Of this in our long and event‘ul ex- perience in American politics, but nothing quite so grovelling, base and blind as the scan- dalous personalities of aome of the party jour- nals of the present day. The republican papers, we must admit, since our late admonitions upon the subject, have materially improved in their tactics against General McClelian; but, on the other hand, his most zealous organs, inflamed by their own folly, are fast approach- ing the condition of raving lunatics. We remember how it shocked the moral sense of the American people when, in the days ef General Jackson, that old hero of the Union was savagely assailed in some base allusions to his deceased wife by Mr. Charles King, of the New York American, who quoted Latin poetry on the occasion, as if to show that a liberal education had not cured him of his inborn inclinations to depravity. This was a shocking example of the demoralization of party journalism; but it was hardly baser than the course now ptrsued by the reckless Bohemians of the World in their mean, sneaking and utterly disgracefal charges and insinuations against the present amiable, exemplary and esteemed lady of the White House. Do the responsible owners of the World know that such flagrant infractions of all the proprieties of civilized society can result injuriously only to the offending parties and their candidate? Let them be warned by the example of Mr. King and its terrible reac- tion that this is as true as the demonstrations of Euclid or Columbia College. We would also admonish Mr. Belmont, first engineer of the present democratic party, that some other reforms in bis working machinery are needed to secure success, or a show of suc- cess, to bis Presidential ticket. For instance, it is generally understood that the result of the Pennsylvania October election will detormine the Presidential isaue; and ,it is generally be- lieved that the democrats in, Pennsylvania are making but little progress towards the recov- ety of the ground they lost in October, 1863, At all events, we concur in the universal pub- lic opinion that unless the democracy carry this October Pennsylvania election, and by a de- cisive majority, Gen. McClellan is destined to an overwhelming defeat. Mr. Lincoln may be re-elected without Pennsylvania; but her October vote is indispensable to McClellan, and by such a reaction as will turm the scale in ome other Important States in November, Feeveraey, inde Supreme | How is this object te be scoured? Give as your thoug btfal attention for « moment, Mr. Belmont, and bearken to our advice. The ex: perience of an old campaigner, free from all party trammels and affiliations, cannot be disregarded. Listen to what we have to say. The canvess in Pennsylvania ia behalf of General MoClelian drags heavily. Whyt Per- sonally be is a popular maa—popular as a eol- dier, 8 6 citizen, as & democrat, ase man of promising abilitics for atatesmanship, and as a loyal, patriotic, Union mane He is the idol of the urncoataminated young war demooraoy, and as their favorite his name bore down ali oppe- altion at Chicago. True, the convention placed him upon a rickety and treacherous platform; but in rejecting it is be mot acquitted of its id- famy? Why, then, this heavy, up hill labor in advancing bis standard among the people? This is the question, and bere is the answer. The pepular enthusiasm which, before the Chi- cago Convention, was awakened, East and West, by the name of McClellan, has been ex- tinguished by its association with the name of Pendleton. Here is the difficulty; and the ob- staole of this dead aad decomposing body must be removed, and at onoe, if Mr, Belmont would carry the Pennsylvania Ootober election. What is the public record of Mr. George H. Pendletoat We are dealing with him asa public man. It is the record, in Congress and out of Congress, at all times ‘and in all Places, from the beginning to this day, of consistent, constant, inveterate and zealous sym pathizer with the cause ofthe rebellion. From hia Congressional reoord during this war we may safely say that, bad bis vote on all import- ant test questions been the casting vote in the House, volunteering and drafting to fill our wasted armies would have ceased; the pay of our brave , soldiers, their subsistence, clothing and transportation would have been stopped; our galiaut Union heroes on the land and water would have been abandoned to the tender mer- cies of Jeff. Davis, and this day we should have had a Southern confederacy, and a .war with England and france, for a mere remnant of the Union, in full biast. This ia the difficulty with the democratic Presidential ticket. Can it be possible that Mr. Belmont entertains so light an estimate of tie intelligence ef the American people as to flatter himself with the dolusion that Mr. Pendleton has now onty to re- main silent to escape unscathed? No, sir. His sileace is understood as a trick, and its object as a dangerous deception. The loyal voters of the North understand this thing is invoiving the uae of a Union sol- dier’s name for a treacherous purpose, a de- basing capitulation to a defeated rebellioa, which will make this people stink in the nos- trils even of poor unfortunate Mexico. Our advice, therefore, to Mr. Belmont, as the, head of the Democratic National Executive Committee, is that be should forthwith oxerume the power with which he was invested, at Chicago, and call together again the national arty convention, {or the express purpose of setii g aside George H. Pendleton as a bud stick of t.mber, and of putting in his place a sound aud acceptable Union man as the proper assoc ate of General McClellan. We presume that Mr. Belmont has fiatshed bis financial buai- vess as the agent of Louis Napoleon for the support of Maximilian on hia Mexican throne, and bas the tine to spare to consider this case of Mr. Pendleton. If not, we hazard the pre- diction that, politically and financially, Mr. Belmont will be more unlucky with his invest- ments ia General MoClellan than he was with the betrayed and unfortunate Douglas. And thus endeth the first lesson. Operations Nerth ef Richmoad—The Valley C@umn and Lee's Lines. We give to-day a map of the several points in the Shenandoah valley and east of the Blue Ridge that are important in the progress of the struggle between Shosidan and Early, or, if the report of Early’s removal be true, between Sheridan and Longstreet. That struggle is now one of the very deepest interest. If we suppose the Virginia Central road to be in running order, then with that road, with the Lynchburg and Petersburg road and the Ka- nawha Canal, Lee bas three lines of supply, yand all of these must be broken up before he The eold ‘and can be forced to fight on Grant's own terms the great final battle for life or death. None of these lines is safe. Lee's greatest apprehension lately has been for the Southside road, and the events of the past few days have shown that he had risked even the safety of Richmond in order to mass his troops where they could be used for the defence of that line. But Sheridan’s defeat of Early, and the rapid race up the valley, brought an unexpected danger to the Central road, and alarmed Lee lest that line also should be lost. His fears for its safety are apparent in the fact that, scarce as men are, and necessary as it is that he should hold the Southside road, he has yet sent several thousand men to reinforce the body that he depended upon to hold the valley and keep open his communication by way of Charlottes- ville and Gordonsville. The column that lately swept down the valley and threatened Washington is now posted solely with a view to cover the Central Railroad and keep it open. It is in a strong position at Brown’s Gap, and if Sheridan leaves it there and moves on he leaves a force in his rear that can cut his com- munications. If he attempts to carry the posi- tion, he must fight a bloody battle at great dis- advautage. Grant and Sheridan will flad a way to get over this difficulty, as both have gotten over others. Sheridan to Charlottesville than Grant is much nearer to the Southside road than Lee would like him to be. Lee already sees how precarious is his bold on the Southside road. With Grant so near to that road ashe now is, Lee dare not keep a large force at Burkesville Junction, for foar that it would be eut off; and thus Grant can by a single march, and perhaps a small fight, close up at once the Southside and Danville Toads. Lee would thus be left with only one; therefore he will take great care of that, and we shall have yet, no doubt, some pretty large operations before Sheridan destroys the road at Gordonsville and Charlottesville; but we can- not doubt that he will do it. It will be seen by the order of General Grant, given in the letter of our correspondent with Sheridan, that Grant has made up his mind to put an end at once and forever to the foolery that has 60 long made the valley a dis- grace to us. Hitherto that valley has been justly styled the rebel granary, It has fod the rebellion at Richmond, it has been a harbor to hordes of guerillas, and it has furnished « con- veniont avenue for the invasion of the North; for the rebel armies could advance down that valley whoa starved out ot Rickmoad and is perhaps nearer Lee supposes, as food all the way to the Potemes. Genéral Grant has wisely determined to put a atop te all that. ‘The Histe:y of the Pomimentar Cam- peigu—Am Auswer to Genera! Nagiee. In another column we give a letter from Judge Wm. D. Kolley, in answer to the one published by us a few days ago from General Naglee. Judge KeHey, it should be remem- bered, made the statement that Gea. MoVlel- lan was not the originator of the Peninsular campaign, but that “the country was indebted” for it to Senators Latham and Rice. Gea. Naglee denied that statement, and went inte the history, not of the origin of that eam- paiga, but of the council of war that General MoClellaa submitted it to—making thereby a pretty strong campsiga document against Mr. Lincola. Judge Kelley now reiterates bis atatement, and goes more deeply into the facta of the origia of the campaign in question. Gen. MoCteilan, we are now told, bad formed no plan of campaign against the rebel army ap to the last of February, 1862, though he had thea been in command of the army seven months. He was thon required to report a plan within tom daya, and it was understood that he would be removed in case of his failure. to do so. “Several” of the ten days had gone by, when Gen. Nagiee wes brought to Washington from camp by a letter frowa Senator Latham, and in the absence of that Senator conferred with Senator Rice on Geu. MoClellan’s difficulty, proposed the Peninsular plan of operations, aud “packed” a oounoil of war to approve of it. Judge Kelley, aow that General Naglee denies hia statements, also declares that ‘thie same General Nagles was his original authority for all those state- ments, and had pablioly boasted of bis share in the matter.in the cars between Philadelphia and Baltimore. Judge Kelley's tetter pnts General Nagtee in @ very unpleasant position, and its murat tor the public is thas the word of even a brigadier goneral should aot be too implicitly relied upon when that brigadier general is « partisan, and is willing to put fortn » campaign doou- ment in the guise of a vindication of bis per- sonal character.
