he does, bites Immediately and leaves a sourenir
Clad in blue blouse-like that of Partisan

WHAT NJ CLELLAN HAS DONE FOR WASHING
TON.
In the first place, be the fact morally defen-
slbe or not, the effect of a nesc name is wonder
full in this world. Still more so, new name
which is Synonymous with invariahle success
Ihen. again, men like the incognito under which
Mcclellan travels-all the more as it is not as
sumed, but inevitable froni II. necessities of
his character. 1t is Impossible to imagine q
Mcclellan done in pFe clay. He cannot, in
nature SIT ter his statue, to any other artist than
worker III granite.
He knows very well what we boys used 30
know at boarding school, when the principal On
examination day got up magnificent dIuner
and put the youngsters into their bes clothes,
addressing The younger classes with an uyatia-
bic suave my dear" and paternally pressing
the astonished lads to a secoud instalment of
sem-annual plum puddlng-thas examination
days are the exception to dreary rule of daily
life He will have nobody gotten up to re-
celVe him. He wants the habitual condition of
the days-not their holiday sham appearance.
Hence that blouse, that unheralded approach 10
camps who have no idea of his personnel, who
suppose they see sapper and miner eccentric
ally on horseback, or at the iarthest one OF the
Sturges Rifles, who are McClean's body guard,
and so devoted to him that they would go this
day 10 Manassas behind him, an unsupported
corps.
The fact of MeClellan's having brigaded the
army has now become an old tale to the public
nn0StpntatlnnSIV n4to h..
method with the great bodies Of troops who are
constantly arriving. But for the implied parole
of honor above mentioned, should like to state
the exact numerical amount of the work enjoin-
ed upon him by the necessities of this method
as applied to the vast importing.
Its only possible to say that nothing on so
gigantic scale i'll the shape of military dispo-
sltion has ever been demanded of man on this
continent scarcely on the European. And
though the fact of this new arrangement be now
well known, its results are to be Unreasonable.
For the knowledge OF their field officers, by
sight, and still more by personal confidence
the position of the right field officer over any
given body-the discipline of the brigade as
distinguished from that of the isolated regiment
these desiderata of the utmost Importance
in our future advance. We may add that it is
the conviction of some of the ablest commanders
with whom our editorial delegation consultad in
Ia
Run victory after as well as before O'Clock
P. VI. OF j uly Dist
Washington, since Nee ellan's advent ia no
longer held for target shooting, with an after
pic mic under the marquee of Wizards or
Browns II IS now possible to reach the door
from the clerk S desk or bar without elbowing
epaulettes or getting tangled in dress swords.
Let not these words be thought to indicate a
demon alization of the army before Mcclellan
came. Up to that day we had heard the SER
mon of Bull Run in eloquent cannon-voice, but
the list CT the preacher had not come down on
the desk in personal application.
w said - The panic happened equally to
the French after Solfereino; it was only a
chance it may never happen again" So we
took our cobblers at Wizards when we should
have been in our camps on the hills, noralizing
over the straw at Midnight, about 'remarkabls
ProVidences," forgetting that our soldiers need
ed an eye to their comfort and discipline if that
eye would be their ialisman and inspirer of VIC
tory. Mcclellan came and said, not /" there
may be" but " there shall be" no more panic
And he has taken the means He has made
the ciilcer as Responsible Ior the men.as the men
to the officer.
Without his pass, neither bands nor stars can
junket at midnight. But a night or two ago, a
sergeant approached gentleman high in mill
tary rank, taking his Heck and soda at the
spout OF the little drug store aIder Wizards.
Tic asked him for his pass, and received The in
dignant reply that be was addressing au officer.
g My instructions, replied the sergeant, " are
TO see you to your quarters . ! give you my
word OF honor that will GO ,nere," said the
officer " am obliged, sir,' replied tie SER
geant to give you my word of honor that |
will see you there" And they marched away
together.
1t is this broad mindedness-this view Of
rank as honorable more for its grave respona-
bility than its cloth and metal, and y Ich
makes every true soldier, be he commissioned
or in the ranks, idolize Mcclellan even with
out having seen him. AS for the loyal people Of
Washington, they repose in him with a conf
dence which is like the first Test in port after
voyage of weeks through alternating PREACHER
Gus Gains and dismasting typhoons.
