A Story OF GIN. NcCLKLLAN.-The WASH
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquir-
er tells this story of Gen. Mcclellan. 1t may be
true: "Gen. Mcclellan is in the habit Of riding
around occasionally in citizens dress, accOnpa-
nisd BY few Of his staff. A few days ago he
vas walking through one of the encampme nts
across the Potomac, and passing the rear of the
tents, he saw bucket Of coffee standing near
. fire. He asked what it was, and one of the
soldiers said coffee 1t looks more like slops,
he replied. oh, said the soldier it is not fit to
drink, but We have to put up with it, and GU:
other food is not bit better well, whose
fault is it: he asked. 'Oh, our Quartermaster
is drunk most Of the time, and when he is not
he il studying how to cheat Mcclellan
passed on, and seeing more evidences of the dir
~ and slovenly manner in which the Quartermas.
ter conducted his operations in bis tent, he &C.
costed him with the remark that the men were
complaining of bad treatment from him. The
Quartermaster few into . passion, and swore it
was none of his business, and he had better not
come sneaking around trying to make mischief
Mcclellan answered him, telling him he had bet
ter be cautious how he talked. Quastermaster
replied, Who are you, that you assume SO much
apparent authorisy?' 4 Am George B. McCleL
Ian, and you can pack up your traps and leave =
The Quartermaster was struck dumb, and Nc
Clellan turned and left him. That evening the
Quartermaster left to the tune of the Rogue 3
Aarch,s played by some of the boys who had
got wind Of it, They have now got Quarter
master who does not get drunk and cheat and
that regiment would risk their lives at the can
mons mouth for the man who does care how the
men are provided for. The story has been cir
culatsd around some of the camps. and the Off
GERS are now always on the lookout for the Gen.
eral, and of course do not have too much lying
around loose"

marks:
at is difficult to exaggerate the financial sig
nifcance or political importance of this great ne

history Of nations. and the successful conclusion
of which reflects the greatest honor on the pres
