shall hear his lame mentioned; and shall he
enabled TO read bis partlsan5' lame apolosies
ter a series Of failures, without a parallel in
history IL respect IF the gigantic discrepancy
between large means and small achievements
then he will dfoep ont of sight, unless.
indeed, the army just relieved from his com-
mard should meet With disaster, in which
Improbable contingency his adherents nav
again sourd his prai5es. Bu5 even then do
not believe it possible that recourse will be
hid to hin; but On the contrary, I think q
new man, if Feed be, will rather be taken.

Gen. Hooker was disappointed at the ap-
Folnfnient Of Burnside, and could It for
some daye be made to believe that lie Sas am
sllcg more than lotu1n te7ens for himself
But his friends we're oyerruled, as I hare
written you before, and he and they will with
GU dnunt give Gen Burnside their heArty
support. As the ranking general, Gen. B I'm
side is entitled to the position, and his ap-
pointment is, 50 far as can lesrn, more s.tis-
than that Of Gen. Hooker would have been
q circumstance which must, after ali, be taken
into consideration, snd which is attributable
to the old friendship between the two officers,
friendship which received its dessh bio = im-
mediately after the battle OF Antietam. Wnen
Gen. Burnside brought charges against Gen.
McCleilau's near friend, Gen. Fisz John Por-
ter, for falling to support his att sck,
when, moreover, he Lad suggested plan
tor renewing the battle Oh Thured:y, the alien
alton began. And since tha- time s1rauge in-
dignities have been put upon Burnside BY
AIcC1el1.n, which eliminated ln the order bid
ding farewell to the army, and containing not
word in praise of his success sor. How str
kingly in contrast it is with Gen. Burnside's
first order, and with the chi1AlIlc waste OF day
upon the par 1ng ceremony. Such things as
this point to = 1ltttencss OF miud, which grows
out Of the same root Of petty personal pride
that bears McCIellan's reticcncs, his so-much-
extolled VirIue-a re1cence which is. how
ever, confined to his personal lips, and does
rot extend to those Whoare at liberty to speak
for him and to carry Oh the naTspaper war in
his behalf.
