REVIEW on TIE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC
GOOD MATERIALS FOR WAR.
Yesterday there was a review Of General
MDowelrs division by General Mcclellan nj
the other side OF the Potomac. rode over in
the forenoon and found the troops drawn m in
the medows which extends from the river
towards the ttc-de-pom
No army in the world has finer horses than
those which have been collected by the activity
and Efforts Of the QuartcrmaSter General,
Meigs. Prince Napoleon was much struck with
their superiority. The carts are almost equally
good and numerous. There can be no want of
horses for their cavalry, or for romount horses,
as long as the atteiage is so good. But finer
than either horses or carts arc the men. With
the exception Of such regiments as Kcfrigans
which were hastily enlisted in New York, and
are not set provided with uniforms. no army
prescrts greater If any presents an equal,
number OF tail, robust, stoGt-UmbGd men, in
the prime OF lie. do nol speak Of special,
crack regiments, but of the average of the
whole mass. Imperiecty disciplined as they
necessarily arc, these troops would, am satis-
fed, inilict severe rcpulsc on the Confederates
if they advanced to the assault Of the tOrmida-
ble redoubts, connected by long lines Of abattis
and curtains, which cover Washington Oh the
south, and are rapidly cncircng it on the North
also.
y GOOD WORD FOR CEN. M'DowELL.
On arriving on the field, found the troops
already in occupation, drawn up in two lines,
and lying down behind their piled arms. Gem
efal Mcdowell and his staff were in front, and
some 90 or 30 persons, of whom more than
two-thirds were soldiers FROM the camp above,
composed the whole of the spectators. be-
iieye the gallant officer whose modest and truth
fu report of the battle OF Manassas must have
secured for him respect and sympathy in Eu-
rope will soon be relieved from the indignity Of
such a small command as that to which he has
been reduced after having led great army.

/ travelled gentleman, and yet in his own native
city there was to be found journal which de-
| clared he had lost The battle by his personal
| incompetency, and that he was sitting in his
| tent drunk and playing cards while the fight
was going on.
