GRN. mcCLRLLAN,s VICTORIES.

Trusting that it will not be deemed factions,
nor an evidence Of hostility 10 the Administration,
we venture to say that We think Gen. McClel-
Ian has the right idea Of the Great Rebellion and
the proper mode Of dealing with it. Roads are
very bad in Western yirgnia-much worse than
in Eostern--aod the hills far more numerous and
sleeper; horses and wagons are scarcer there
than on the Potomac, and artillery lees abundant
and accessible; yet he seems to have ways of
getting on. Our notion that the Rebels attacked
from all sides OF once, could no shift their forces
from one point to another. and so could hardly
avoid defeat on ali hands may be very absurd,
but it can hardly be reasonable to say that We
like the works and ways Of Gen. Mcclellan,
commander Of the main Union army advancing
eastward in Western Virginia. May his shadow
never be iess!
