THE SECRET OF McCLELLAN's POPULAR
IrY WITH THE ARMY.-Some Of the News
papers are in doubt as to the reasons for the
wonderful hold which Gen. Mcclellan has on
the soldiers he leads. The following para
graph from an editorial of the A. Y Tribune,
Aug. /, 1861, tells the whole story, and is as
true now as it was then -
"But ,ac personal qualitos of Gen Nc
Clellan and the Characteristics of his mind,
erhsps do more to inspiro confidence in
him as leader than any positive reforms
he proposes to effect. He looks at his arnly
as an army Of men, and Of men who have
brains and hearts and organs OF Digestion
lie has an idea that upon the bodily comfort
and mental cheeriulness Of the individuals de-
pends the trustworthiness of the consolidated
force Acknowledging tho truth of the say
ing, that what one does for himself is well
done, he attends personally to such Of the de-
tails of his camps as he can reach, and exam
Piles Of the mass he is not able to cover. lie
comes soon to know the faces of many of his
soldiers, and to be personally known by all
of them. As an effect Of this they regard
him with an enthusiasm which will send
them with shouts into the most desperate
fight, inspired by desire to win his com
mendation.
All able Generals have declared by word
and act their belief in the truth that personal
knowledge of, and acquaintance with the sol
der, by his leader, are absolutely necessary
for the full development of the formers re-
sourses of bravery. The Little Corporal
could not, in the darkest night of reverse,
make an appeal to his troops that would not
be answered with deathdefying cheer, and
the warmth of affection felt for the great Ma
poleon was born Of his iarsighted care for the
individual soldier If there nave been hun
CRY men sent into desperate battlefelds--il
Colonels aud quartermasters have combined
to deiraud the Government and cheat the pri-
vate of his comiort--if officers have sought
their own pleasure and forgotten tkeir men
if looseness and dull sloth have prevailed
where all should be compact and active, it
will be so no more. A watchful eye, kind
ly heart, a just head, a gentle hand, and a
tongue which will be terrible in ceLsure but
grateful in praise, mark the officer who is now
TO have so important a position under our
General-in-Chief. We may confidently look
for an army well otfcered, well ordered, thor
oughly equipped for brilliant strategy for
courage pervadng the force which will with
stand even that most dreful enemy, panic -
and for future steady advance from victory
to victory"

IRIsH VIII At a war meeting in a surb-
urban town the other night, one of the speak
ers was an lrishman, Ia recruit,) who called
upon his fellow countTymen to come forward
aud enlist, saying that the stout arms OF those
who had constructed our railroads, dug our
canals and laid the " stone-walls' of our
buildings, were wanted by the government
" In fact said he, " there is certain
stonewalr in Virginia that sadly needs lay
ing, and by the blessing Of God we'll finish
up that Job forthwith IrareHor.
While the rebels we're in Frederick, Md,
an officer rode up to group OF young ladies
and said to one ofthem--'I will make you a
present, and at the same time pulling a ring
from his finger, and remarkng that 1t was
made from the bones of Yankee. The lady
refusing to receive the ring, he sneorly said,
"oh thought you were Southern ladies.

CANT CHASE, ARLINGTON HEtoHrs, VA,
September l4,h, 1862.
Mr.. EDITOR IL believe my last was pen
ned from the cobblo stones Of Washington,
the morning after we arrived, and that my du-
ty to the readers Of the Journal this morning
is brief record Of the subsequent events to
the prcscn, time Our stay at Washington
was short. the line Of march being taken up
the next forenoon at o'clock, with KNAPP
sacks strapped on. Passing up Pennsylvania
Avenue to l4th street, tho Regiment filed off
across Long Bridge, and found itself upon the
sacred soil Of the Old Dominion. A ia
through heat and dust with scarcity of wa
ter, brought us to Camp Chase, where only a
skeleton Of the Regiment appeared in the
ranks the remainder having proved unequal
TO the task. Camping ground was shown us
upon a steep hillside thickly covered with
bushes, and the boys pitched in with will
to clear it up. The bushes fairly cleared
away, revealed a legion Of stumps from which
the bushes had sprung, and among which the
tents we're at once pitched. Friday night or
ders we're given to pack knapsacks and be
ready TO march at moments notice The
Regiments did not move, however, and the
boys began to congratulate themselves that
they were to be allowed to enjoy rest in their
new camp long enough to repay them for the
labor they had expended in establishing it,
But alas for soldiers hopes Of rest! last night
Sunday an order was read upon dress pa
radc for immediate departure Knapsacks
were packed, and before twilight that part of
the regiment not upon the sick list were upon
the march to Seneca Greek, near Conrad
Ferry, some five or six miles above Chain
Bridge. The tents will be struck to-day
and follow the regiment with those Of the
sick who are able to march without baggage.
Your correspondent has to acknowledge
his hearty thanks to the boys Of the 10Th for
the present OF staunoh saddle-horse with
which to transport the regmontal mail. Col.
Jowett having intimated that such an institu-
was necessary, the horse was forthcoming
within "A hours. and proves a very valuable
auxiliary to the 'P. O. D. Of the Regiment
ment.
From Surgeon Clark ! learn that there are
3G on the sick list this morning, 25 of whom
are able to march without baggage, and II
who will be sent to the general hospital-all,
however, are in way to recover, and ma
jority Of them in short time. c. A.. C.
