We commend to the attention of the quill ant

We commend to the attention of the quill and
steel pen warriors the following sentence from a
Washington letter:
A General like Mcclellan man who has
done 50 much, and who is ready to DO more, and
who will fulil every just expectation OF his coun
try If he is permitted to take his own course
must be entirely trusted. Those who hamper him,
no matter what theory they may suggest, are as
Stunning a fearful responsibility.
There is some significance in the remarks
above quoted. From certain indications it is evil
dent to us that there is a growing distrust of the
generalship of the present commander of the
army of t e Potomac. The telegraph intimates
that he is to be superseded by Gen. HALLEcK
who has been ordered from California. We doubt
whether this change is now intended 1t is prob
able the report is put out to spur Gen. MCCLELLAN
to an onward movement. There can be but little
if any question but a pressure is to be brought
upon the Administration to force the army of the
Potomac into aggressive operations upon the
! enemy. We are informed that General Nc
CLELLAs's command is in admirable condition,
and fully prepared IN numbers, discipline
and munitions Of war to successfully cope with
the rebel army. The question is then suggested
will the Federal forces remain idle. or upon the
defensive. when the rebel flag iaunts in defiance

skill and sagacity Of General McCLELLAs? Sen

In an article discussing this topic, the New
York Journal Of ommer remarks that there
are two extremes of opinion in reference to the
future of our foreign trade. neither of which
have any just foundation in our past experience
or present condition. One Of these views is
highly rose colorej. and represents the future of
trade and commerce as likely to be far more
prosperous under the pressure of our political dis
turbances thaa it could possibly be in a time of
peace. According to this theory. we shall i'm
port nothing but gold. and the falling off in the
exports of cotton win be more than counterbal-
anced by the increased shipments in breadstufs
and provisions. This dux of gold will render
accumulations easy and abundant and, there
fore, whatever may be the fortunes Of war. mer-
camille fortunes will be rapidly made and secure
ly held. The other extreme lies deeply in the
shadow, aed the opponents of this opinion are

The telegraph informs US thattwo OF our vessels
