McCLELLAN'S ENERGY.

McCLELLAN'S ENERGY.
 Col. Forney writes from Washington to the Philadelphia Press;
 "There never has been so much quiet and order in Washington, and so much industry and energy on the part of the young Commandern- Chief of the American forces. Glad to hear what all men have to say-ready to receive statesmen, editors and politicians, he is careful to avoid committing himself to revelation of single one of his plans. You will observe that nothing has been printed, either as to his purpose or his opinions His head quarters,at the resi- dence of Commodore Wilkes, corner of Sixteenth and H streets, is thronged with visitors, and al- Information no matter by whom presented.
 His confidential aids are regular officers, trained in many hard campaign {; he has at his side, in his father-in-law Col. R. B. Marcy, U. s. A., a safe. experienced and prudent counsel Tor. Every assailable point near the city has been carefully guarded with silence and a rapidity that have infused confidence into all classes.
 "The life of Gen. Mcclellan has been double life. He has been an officer of the army and the head of two great railroads and thus he is equally soldier and statesman. He is enough of martinet to insist upon discipline among his men anu euAcieuCly pOlIlcIan Io unuCi o'ano 'no P.o- judicies and interests of the people by whom he is surrounded Hence there is no doubt that, while taking care to protect the Capital, he will exercise sleepless vigilance over the traitors who nestle in our midst The arrest of Faulk- ner was undoubtedly one of his suggestions, and any movements upon the disaffected population hereabouts will not only receive his sanction but be pushed forward with unrelenting vigor. It ts worth recording that Gen. Mcclellan knows Davis Beauregard, Lee and Johnson intimately. He knows their prejudices, their habits, their theories and their ablties and is therefore their master, because, occupying position that will abied to wait until they have been exhausted ny their own factions and by the efficiency of the blockade. It is due to General Mcclellan 70 aad that no one pays more deference to the oplnions Of the veteran Lieutenant than he does. He visits him daily"
