Gen. Mcclellan and his Plans.

Amid the obscuritv with which our polite
young general wells his immediate Intentions
there are some broad facts that stand out in
sufficient relief TO indicate the main outlines
of his plan. He has for weeks been prepared
to resist an attack on Washington, and he has
now so strengthened the dcfences of the city,
ard is so strongly reinforced by the arrival
of new troops. that there is no probability
that such an attack will be made. This
leaves him at full liberty to choose his own
time for trial Of strength between the two
armies. Indications are daily thickening
that he is making vigorous preparations 10
assume the aggressive. Notu outstanding the
apparently impregnable works, line within
line, with which the approaches to Washing
ton are already fortified. he still keeps large
bodies of men at work on Entertainments,
thus rendering the city defensible by fewer
and fewer troops, while numerous regiments
are ordered this week from various parts of
the country to the national capital. As
Washington needs fewer and 'fewer men for
its defense more and more men are collected
there; which indicates as clearly as any
broad fact can indicate any intention, that
General Mcclellan is preparing to abandon
the purely defensive attitude he has hitherto
held, and smite the rebels, with some heavy
blow, on a point of his own selection The
large bodies Of troops which are now arriving
al Washington can do efficient service behind
its strong entertainments, where discipline
makes comparatively little difference, while
the better drilled soldiers, that have been
longer under his command. will be released
for active and aggressive operations against
the enemy. N. Y. Void.
