McCLELLaN's OPINION OF ARMIES, Gen. Nc
Clelian, in dis book reviewing the Crinean war,
10000 men may easily be crushed by the On,e,
hitting attacks of superior numbers; but when
it comes to an army Of 100000 disciplined men,
no overwhelming masses can avail against them
without military science and discipline; because
the greater the multitude brought against them
the more ssrely it works its own destruction, as
such numbers casnot be handled without disci-
pine and instruction. and are in their own way.

Fl. MoNRoE, Nov. 4.-The following extract
is from the Richmond Examiner of Nov. 4th.
and is from the report Of Capt Hunter, dated
of the coast OF North Carolina, on Confederate
steamer Curlew, Oct. S0th:
AT dawn yesterday we started, and on our
way looked in at Beacon Island and Ocracoke.
bu. saw nothing with certainty of the enemy at
or near either point. We then started for Hat
teras Inlet, and when near the position of the
inner buoy, the enemy opened fire upon US from
the fort and two or three OF their steamers, with
out injury. In coming within easy range,
sighted the rihed gun at the Hat Lane, and
fred. The tort and steamers continued to fire
at US as rapidly as possible. We fred six
shells aud the stern gun at them five times Ii
is uncertain whether the enemy sustained apy
injury. The vandals fired 20 shells at us. only
one Of which came near. Feeling that l bad
carried out the spirit and instructions, with
drew off and waited within half mile of buoy.
hoping to draw the steamer outside When we
fred the stern gun the fort returned the shot,
We stood back and fred another shell and then
took our departure. All hands displayed great
enthusiasm and seemed delighted when one stea-
msr began to move towards US There were at
anchor inside, sixteen sailing vessels and three
steamers. The steamer Spaulding is hourly ex-
pected at Fort Monroe and we will then have the
news 1.-THE fight. Nothing has been heard from
Hatteras for two weeks5
The Richmond Examiner of Nov. 4th, says
the work on the Merrimac is still incomplete.
and there is great complaint Of the mperftction
of the iron work as furnished by tho foundries
there, and adds 1t is certainly high time she was
completed.
The correspondent of the Examiner com.
plains that Gov. Letcher, who had visited the
Peninsula to look after its situation, had done
nothing on arriving there but eat hog fish and
drink.

lowing from California:
How FRExoxr IS REGARDED IN CALIFORNIA.
"A dispatch to the Associated Press, dated San
Francisco, Oct 49, says: "Gen. Fremont's
movements in Missouri form the principal topic
Of conversation and newspaper discussion. Old
Cslifornians, the press, and well-informed men
generally concur in representing Gen. Fremont
a. totally incompetent to creditably discharge
the duties Of his present position. His personal
friends maintain that he is brave and daring,
and think he would distinguish himself in CON-
mand of brigade, but few believe hun fitted
with either the business capacity or virtual skill
and Judgment needed at the head of . great
army. Calculating men say it will cost $780,
OOO, 900 to accomplish under Gen. Fremont what
might be accomplished with $40, O0O, 900 under
. prudent and ssgacious Major General. rs
We are told that this removal will cause much
troable in the camp-that both officers end SOL
diers will refuse to fight under another COM
mander. This is fabulous; but if there are any
such officers or soldiers, who have enlisted in
this war to fight for Fremont and not for their
country, say shoot them, on sight. What is
Fremont or any man, in view of the vast inter
ste at stake? OLD LINE WIG.
