MCCLELLAN Goisa UEDEK.-The Cincinnati
Commercidt is of opinion that Mcclellan has
been out-generaled by Beau-egard, and il i.
pretty evident that the former Is doomed to
the fate O. those Of his predecessors Who have
fallen under the ban OF Biacl. Republican
condemnation The Cgnimerciul SAYS
Events may speedily demonatrate that the
commander OF the army OF the Potomac has
been completely cut-generaied by Beaure-
gard thai the occG patiOn Of MUGsonS and
IIasou's hills, ANA the other advance positions
from which the rebels have fallen back was
:. teint TO cover up important movements il,
other quarters; that, having served their pur-
pose, these positions were ahah don ed, not
from fear Of flank movement not because
the rebels were aA. stricken By the immense
preparations going On in front OF them, bat
beca no object could be- served by holding
them an hour longer While the army of the
Potomac has been liz rently watching the pro-
gress or their Entertainments and daily eX-
-pecLiag an attack in front or in Il Ink, large
bodies OF troops have been thrown iuto West
ern ire lula and Tennessee. to inforce Les
and ZOilicOrer.
Our dispatches from Washington this
morning, indicate that such suspicious have
finally been aroused there, and that instead
OF Washington being III danger, the real per!
and the real field Of operations, are hundreds
of miles from the Potomac. -Ianassa is SO ad-
mirably fortified py all aceounts, thar il can
be readily held by 5o.oeo effcieu, men against
twice their numbers. This would enable
Beauregard to detach p, 900 men for opera
tions in Tennessee, and = many In Western
Virginia, and yet leave hifo L contingent
force OF over $4,000.
In any event, we hope the West will be
permitted 10 retain whatever forces she has
ready or organizing for the field, to support
those already contending with heavy odds in
Western Virginia. Kentucky, and Missouri, -
The coming week will probably Geyslope
abundant opportunities nor their empioy-

that burden the air, II il very evident that
