The Daily Dispatch: August 5, 1861., [Electronic resource], A military Dictator. (search)
A military Dictator.
--Maj. Gen. McClellan, who supersedes Gen. Scott, was the President of a railroad in the West when he was appointed a Maj. General by Lincoln.--He graduated with high distinction at West Point, and was in the army for several years, in which he gained considerable reputation as an officer.
After the Mexican war, he resigned his commission in the army and accepted the Presidency of a railroad at a salary of $12,000. It is said that, when he accepted the commission frothe Presidency of a railroad at a salary of $12,000. It is said that, when he accepted the commission from Lincoln, he stipulated that he was to retain his salary as President, thus evincing characteristic Yankee zeal to look after his wages.
If he should not, in turn, like Scott, be superseded and disgraced, we should not be surprised to see him at the head of a military despotism, and to see him superseding the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States.--Nashville Union.
From the Choctaw nation
--The National Register says the crops in that section are abundant.
Wheat, rye, oats, barley, are all fine and gave a handsome yield, and corn was never more promising.
We clip the following from that paper:
"A company of 80 or 100 men was organized here yesterday, consisting mostly of Choctaws; they paraded in our streets, and then proceeded to the election of officers.
A flag is being presented to them, as we go to press; they will march for the scene of action today, if our information is correct.
They are a fine looking set of men, and if old Lincoln could have seen them, marched up in front, singing an Indian war song, he would have trembled in his boots. "
