THE ION 70 RIcHAoND' CRY.
The advice gratis OF the New York Times and Tribune
within few days past TO General Mcclellan rels-
tive TO an carly advance to Richmond is
only the result Of ignorance on the part Of
tho editors OF those papers to his intended movements
The general keeps his counsel and does not propose
70 communicate his plans 10 eccentric politicians wh0
II moments Of excitement, will usc them as texts for
political speeches either IN caucus IN the Senate or
House Of Representatives Tho statements already sent
TO the country by the instruments Of politicians that
General Mcclellan has been urged to make advance
either by the President General Cameron, that Mr.
Holt has written here from Kentucky complaining that
advance has not been earlier made in that State Is
without foundation in truth. The fact f., that
Gen Mcclellan is anxious for advance any person
living He has been advancing every day since he has
been In command Of the Army OF the Potomac. He will
''forward march" he is ready and that viii
not be governed so much by his individual wfll
by the muscle and activity of others, Men must DO
drilled, as horses must be broken, before they are
safe for service They must not only have arms
tit TO drill with, but tit to eight with Men
and horses are excellent material for cavalry. but
sabres and ps carbnes also serycoabc; but
tho " on to Richmond " men don't soc IT, Time and
patience viii remedy all these things. Our gallant friends
IN East Tennessee viii DO relieved by force Of
Union troops, who, ia their march, will wipe out
OF Kentucky and afford aid 10 Browrows gallant army. In
order that there may BIO mistake about the matter
TO the effect that there is any difference opinion be-
tween the President and General Mcclellan relative to
the movements or plans OF the latter is without the
slightest foundation III truth whatever The Is
tree OF the Secretary of War concerning Cen. Mcclellan
v ANOTHER TRIBUNE rALsEHoop. ~
There is not word of truth 10 the reported
in the n ibune to have been deliberately nado by Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens 10 tho Monday night, that
After the recent report Of Mr. Cameron had been
cepted by the resident General Mcclellan went to the
latter and threatened 10 resign unless the passages
corning the arming Of the slaves were modified" There
is not the slightest foundation FOR such statement The
General has not pcddled with the political OF the
government He his great object in vicw the crush
ing out Of the rebellion and the restoration Of the nte
rity Of the Union He cares for this grand result
than for mere military glory and will not be made the
instrument Of politicians OF any school,
