The United States Gazette thinks that even
the war proves that the "pen is mightier
than teh sword" and gives the following
proof;
General Mcclellan, before the breaking
out of this war, had never in all his life CONE
manded OF maneuvered a regiment. He had
been a captain, nothing more. Yet he was
thought to be Generals aud whY2 Chiefly.
because of his able report Of the operations
of the Crimeau War. His report was mere
criticism of the events of the campaign, and
the management of each side-a written Sc
ries of opinions, just such as the newspapers
of the country have given of the progress Of
affairs in the present war. His writings
made him General, and events have shown
him worthy to wear the title. Henry w.
Halleck, of California, has also been made a
Major General for similar reasons. He never
yet has commanded or maneuVered so much
as battalion. But his lectures on "The Art
of War;" which have, since their delivery,
been published in book form, showed him to
have studied the art thoroughly, and the
War Department has on that ground made
him Major General. So much confidence
has the Government in his abilities that his
name has been mentioned as successor to
Fremont, and in still higher connections.
