MCCLELLAN AND BEAUREGARD.

Mr.. Russell, in letter to the London
Times, dated Wasbington, October 7, speaks
thus of the commanders of the two conte ndiug
armies ou the Potomac -
"Whep ! had the pleasure Of conversing
with General Mcclellan for the first time be
asked me several questioRs, with evident inter-
est aud friendly curiosity-not unusual on the
part VI Generals in reference TO their autago
nists-respecting General Bsnuregard. 10
his case there WAS all the more reason for such
inquiries, in the fact that they we're old fellow
studeuts and class mates. To my mind there
is something of resemblance between the men,
Both are below the middle height. They are
both squarely built, aud famed for muscular
power since their college days. Bsauregard,
indeed is lean snd thin ribbed Mcclellan is
full and round, with Nspoleonic tendency to
embonpoint, subdued by incessant exercise. -
Beauregard sleeps little McClellan's temper.
ament requires full share af rest; both are
spare aud Spartan in diet, studious and quiet
Beauregard is rather saturniDe, and, if not
melancholic, is of grim gaiety; Mcclellan is
genial even in his reserve. The density of the
hair, the squareuess OF the jaw, the frmness
ard regularity Of the teeth. aud the outline of
the features are points of similarity 10 both,
we're not OF the true Louisaniau Creole lint,
while Mcclellan is fair conpexiuned. Beau
regard has dark, dull studeol's eye, the dull.
ness Of which arises, however, from the forma.
tion, for it is full of fire, and ts glspces are
quick and searching. Mcclellan has deep,
clear eye, into which you can look far and deep,
while you feel it searches far and deep into
you. Beauregard has something of preten.
sion in bis manner-not hauteur, but q fold.
ing armed, meditative sort Of air, which seems
to say, Don't disturb me; I'm thinking O:
military movements" Mcclellan seems to be
always at leisure: but you feel at the same
time you ought not TO intrude too much upon
| him, even when you seek in vain for the
| grounds of that impression 10 anything he is
doing or saying. Beauregsrd is more crafty
subtle, and astute: Mcclellan is more com
! prehensive, more learned, more impressona
BILE. Beauregard is a thorough soldier -
Mcclellan may prove he is a great general
The former only looks 20 military conseqnen
ces, and disregards popular manifestations
the latter respects the outer world, and seei
political as we'll as military results in what be
orders They are both the creatures of acci
dent, so far as their present positions are con
cerued. 1t remains to be seen if either cat
control the current of events, and il in eithe
the artilleryman or the cavalry officer OF tn,
United States Army there is the stuff arount
which history is moulded, such as that Of th
artilleryman OF Britnu or the leade. Of th
Ironsides."

Ca THE BLocKADR.-The London Times
has changed its tone in regard to the interfer.
ence Of England in the blockade Of the South.
ern ports. The Times comes to the wise con.
clusiou that England has no right to interfere.
We take the following extract from leading
article in the Times, on this subject:
at is no part Of our duty to interfere 10 this
unrghteous quarrel, and we feel cure that
Eugland would rather undergo much suffering
than to break through the PLAIN rules Of inter
national law. Having recognized the Confed
crates as bellgerents, we are bound by laws
which admit Of no doubt or debate to respect
the blockade which the Northern States have
established. This blockade has been duly no.
t6ed, it has already been acknowledged by
our Government, ond been submitted to by
our naval officers on the station. To break it
iu any way would be an act of war against the
Government Of the United States, and any
hostilites which might follow would const-
tote an unjust war on our part, which, what
ever its issue, would stain the reputation OF
this country, and expose US TO the just re-.
proach Of the Americans 10 otter times. Such
acts we feel sure, England will not commit
even to save her great manufactures. When
ever the Northerners have established an ef.
fectual blockade they will be free to keep it up
without interference on our part"

FROM EUROPE.

The London Times, in an editorial on the
Efforts OF class in Lancashire 10 induce the
British Government to interfere in America
and break the blockade, says that England
would rather undergo much suffering than
break the plain rules of international law.
She has recognized the blockade and must
abide by it. To break it would disgrace and
stain the reputation OF England. England
will not commit such an act even to save her
greatest manufactures. The Times, however.
spys that the blockade is not eyerywbere

Government that it is only q real blockade
that can call for recognition. The article
concludes by saying that it would i'll become
