Drought in New York.

There appears to be quite a Sc
we're drought at the North. The
New York Commercial says.
EThe products Of the garden of
this locality are placed i'll peril
by the long drought to which we
have been exposed. Almost ev-
erything in the realms OF vegeta-
ton, scarcely even the Indian corn
excepted, IS suffering from the lack

the potato vines are withered
and dead, and everywhere the crop

Of the average, unless fertile show
ers are vouchsated at an early day,
if even then they can recover their
growth. How far this calamitous
parching Of earth extends we know
not, and we can but hope that
it is partial. Otherwise it is fear
cd there will be a scarcity Of food
for both man and beast.
In addition to what is given
above, we have seen testimony to
the same point in other journals.
While the North is suffering in
the way indicated and in other
ways, the news from all parts of
the South is, that the crops gath
cred are two and three fold more
than ever gathered before, and
those growing, Of all kinds, thanks
to a kind Providence, never looked

Maj, Gen. George B. Mcclellan.

D4sJ, NSb' U'V'SN - UVt' bun'
We find the following brief out
lire of the antecedents and general
characteristics of this recently and
Isuddenly risen military star, in
lone of our exchanges. 1t. pre-
lsents him as not being a very
dangerous opponent. While we
ldiscover nothing that he has done
to excite dread, we do not think
we should set him down too quiet
ly as incapable Of doing anything.
We should avoid falling into the
same error our enemies have, and
underrate and depreciate their
leaders; ior if we do we may dis
cover the error and regret it when
it is too late. The Scotch-Irish is
a cross not to be despised, either
for intellect OF fighting qaiities,
and it would be we'll to prepare
against a vigorous and determined
capaign-one which viii test our
lpluck, determination, and endur-
ance. This sketch seems to be
written by one whose acquaintance
was of limited duration. The WIZ
ter SAYS
"The desperate manner in which
the drowning Lipcoln Government
has caught at the Mcclellan straw
exhibits, even In their military al
fairs, the peculiar ''irom hand to
mouth" expediency characteristic
which was marked tie political
course of the Northern people
from the civil revolution OF 1860.

in the same steamer when he was
en- route to Europe, with Mordecai
and Delatield, to visit the Crimea.

as to destroy the harmonious ac-

these things, because they indi-l
cate the temperament Of the man,
which is an importont matter III

rash man, that is, he has a great
deal of "dash" about him.
But / do not believe that he
can manage large army. lie
does not possess thatpeculiar organ
ization essential to long-eontinued
effort. McClellan's forte consists
in his knowledge of Prussian and
Austrian tactics, his thorough in
formation in regard to the militia
tary habits Of the German militia,
and bis familiarity with the lam
guage. After leaving Paris, | be-
Geve he went to the Crimea eaG

ago and made a speech On Satur

He had been in Washington
from the outset of this great Rev.
oluticn. He had stood, as it were,
in the very centre of the terrific
explosion of fanaticism, which
followed the fall Of Sumpter; and
witnessed the splendid prepara-
tions for the conquest of the South;
had watched the gathering OF that
Grand Army" the first fruit of
a wild enthusiasm for the flag and
the UnioE-which was to sweep
all before it; and had seen its le-
gions, in almost royal array, march
across The Potomac into to the Old
Dominion. 1t was a gigantic ar
my, thoroughly organized, CON-
oletely equipped, and buoyant
With schemes and dreams of con-
quest. 1t was composed not as
many supposed, Of city vagabond-
.sm, but OF the better class Of men
from home and hamlet, who had
rallied to defend their Capitol,
Government, and Flag. Before
the battle, the spectacle Of power
vas truly appalling. But a very
different picture was. presented at
ter the great conflict upon the
Plains of Manassas.
1t took them six days to march
out; as many hours were more
than sufficient to bring them back.
Scattered like spray before the
skill of our Generals, and the
courage Of our army, they returned
in dismantled fragments, demoral-
lied by defeat, and debauched by
fear. A steady rain had set in at
dawn, and with it these panic
stricken and exhausted wretches
began to pour across the Long
Bridge. The rout had commenced
the night before. Throughout the
day, (Monday, the 22nd,) they
continued to totter in, some IN rags,
some in tags, some without coats
Or hats, and none with any of those
superb military equipments, which
had recently decked them. From
the gates Of the Capitol to the
Treasury, distance Of more than
asmile, they were strewn, IN the
mud and wet, wounded and pros
trate, lurking behind doorways and
skulking in cellars, as though still
haunted by the terrible fire OF a
foe they SO lately proposed to de-
spise. Nobody could exaggerate
the extent of the rout. AT that
time nobody pretended to deny
the disaster, or excuse the dis
grace. They had lost all their
baggage, their stores, their artllle-
ry, their ambulances, everything.
Sherman's battery and Sprague's
battery-thousands of stands of
arms, from FIVE to ten thousand
men, with a countless variety of
less noteworthy, but not less use
ful material, completed their terri
BILE loss, as was admitted on all
hands. 1t was nearly a week be-
fore the most unprincipled could
summon courage to begin again
their usual Dragging, and bullying,
ana lying, and then they did it
with an ill-grace. Ten thousand
men, at the time, might have easily
taken Washington.
