forgotten this.
Very well. Certain just and severe strict

were soon loaded, and preceded by an open
car containing splendid brass band, they
proceeded to Roxbury, where the little folk"
were entertained in an appropriate manner.
Professions of children, gaudiIy arrayed with
flowers, bearing banners with appropriate
emblems, were frequently seen during the
day marching through the streets In the
afternoon they assembled at Music Hall,
where was prepared for them u most interest.

Intelligence Of the capture Of Fort Macon
arrived this morning, and caused great cx-

weeks ago an entcrprising publication had an

1t Is gratifying fact that among the entire

But why were the rebels permitted to 90.

at hand and the time is ut hand when il
should be made public, The rebel army has
escaped only because General McClellan's
plan was intcriered with, and in All essential
particular upset, by the secretary Of war
Gen. Mcclellan proceeded down the Potomac
with the understanding that Gen. Mcdowell
was to follow him with his corps Paymcc 1t

Gloucester Point by Mcdowell Had this

who is auswcrablc for the escape ofJuhnSon's
army-a blundcr which has dcfraudcd our

This explains McClcIlans dispatch from
