number of Federal troops. Gen. Mcclellan was
in that neighborhood He is one of the ablest Gen.

ror force, he may have captured portion of our
troops. COL Pcgram's command, the one said to
have been captured, numbered only 1000, while
McClelan's force amounted to 10000.
In the Senate Of Lincoln's Congress, on the 18th
