Mr.. EpIroR.-In the 26,h Chapter of

viz:
Answer not fool according to bis fol-.
ly, lest thou also be like unto him.
And the 9Th verse as follows, viz
Answer a fool according to his folly,
lest he be wise in bis own conceit.
And in the Acts Of the General Assem-
bly, Of the State Of South Carolina, in
1861, No. 4569, page Is. the 1st Section
or Article in the Act reads as follows, VIZ:
BE it enacted by the Senate and House

Soldiers Of the Army of tie Potomac !:
Your achievements Of the past ten

You have saved all yoar guns, except a
few lost in battle, taking in return guns
and colors from the enemy.
Upon your march you have been as.

by men of the same race and nation.
skillfully massed and led. Under every
disadvantage Of number, and necessarily
of position also, you have in every con.
tlict beaten back your foes with enor-
nous slaughter.
Your conduct ranks you among the
celebrated armies Of history. None will

On this, our nations birthday, we de.
clare to our foes, who are rebels against

EFFECT OF THE NEWS ON THE NORTH.

EFFECT OF THE NEWS ON THE NORTH.
The News of McClellan's defeat has
caused tho greatest excitement in the
North. The Herald says:
The financial credit Of the country has
received shock from the disasters to
McClellan's army from which it will not
easily recover. Previous to his being
driven back from his position before Rich
mond government stocks were at An sn.
exampled premium, and The credit Of the
country never stood SO high.
Within week all this has been chang.
cd, and now government stocks e1hibi,
more unsteadiness than any other clas.
OF public securities.
The excitement now is but the mere
muttering Of the storm. Wait until the
long lists Of killed and wounded IN the
recent battles before Richmond are pub.
iIshed, and the storm will be then at it's
height. Already the people Of Philadel.
phia boot Stanton's name in the streets,
and declare that no more men will enlis,
while he remains in Office. New York
city has suffered quite as much as PhiIa,

fearful. What will it 30 when the lists

M'cLELLAN's DEFEAT IN THE NoRTu-RU
MoRs AND sPKcuLATIoNs-coMME OF
THE PRESS.
The. recent battle before Richmond en-
crossed every one in the North. 1t was
the sole topic. In long article, revisw.
ing the battle and the situation of Nc
,Clellap's army, the New York Herald
says:
General Mcclellan has failed 10 take
Richmond, and has suffered serious losses
in men, artillery and war like materials
and stores, in his struggles to extrica,e
himself from a position rendered unteua.
BILE from tue heavy reinforcements sen. in
TO the army Of the Confederacy, and from
the very scanty reiuforcements to bis own.
With his army thue weakened by battles
.and disease, he could not hold his White
House operations twenty miles in bis rear
and his entrenched line OF ten miles in
front Of Richmond. His original plan, If
we are not mistaken, was to moke bis
whole Potomac army Of last winter 10
grand semic upon Richmond, sweep.
ing the entire country from the Potomac
to the Valley of Virginia before him, and
contracting his lines as he advanced upon
Richmond, not from the east, but from
the north, thus leaving no loop hole for
Confederate raids into lbe Shenandoah
Valley, nor any chance to the enemy to
cut him off from the base of his supplies.
Unfortunately, however, this we'll con.
sidered plan was Sc. aside by the disor'
ganizing abolition radicals of Congress,
aided and abetted by two o, three poli..
ilcal generals Of the Cabinet.
In the failure Of this great and all i'm.
,portapt enterprise we have lost the labors
OF campaign; and to repair this loss
and to drive the Confederates out of Vir.
.ginia will require an additional budget
of many millions to our national debt
The President cannot fail to see where
the responsibility belongs. A very sig.
niicant feeling Of indignation is begin
ming to develop itself in the public mind
upon the subject, and directly against the
Cabinet as at present constituted. Let
the President look to bis Cabinet, and to |
its reconstruction as working unit with
himself in the prosecution OF this war for
."the integrity Of the Union" and not for
the exirpa,ion Of slavery, and all 70.
may be saved. Let him neglect this 60
sential duty at this momentous crisis, and
we may 60 on from bad to worse until
all is lost.
10 second article the Herald charges
the grossest Encouragement en- the gov.

men Of the criticism of the military au-

There is a time TO keep silence and .

lmond. The campaign to come will re.
'qu're new troops, now plane, and new
combinations, With, perhaps, new emer
