When lie was at West P oint, he affected
to fraternise especially with those from
tileSouth; and to have little sympathy
with those. from his own section We
dare saysthis was genuine, and that he
really was anxious to serve under jeff
Davis in this war, but the high bribe
offered by Iineoln was too much for
his easy virtue. He was not the man
to sacrifice his interest to sentiment,
and of late has shown disposition to
become as extreme in his antagonism as
in his friendship for the South -
Such, is the statement Of the leading
paperin the South. 1t cannot fail to
rouse the last particle of latent energy
in Gen. Mcclellan to punish the auda-
cious ealup niators,. if it be calumny,
and to ayenge the breach of confidence,
ifit be true; SO that, in either view of
the case, We look for the same effect
upon Mcclellan, which the first shot at
Fort Sumter produced upon the coun-
try. And for this, we again thank the
Dfspates.. But the Dispatch is not
alone. The fire has been opened along
the mholeJipe. Takeanother specimen.
The Richmond Whig copies the above
and adds the following:
"After the battle of Rich Mountain,
both Mcclellan and Rosecrans declared
to Confederate officers, who were pris-
oiiers of war, that they would much
rather be leading an army against
Massachusetts than Virginia. This can
be proved by uniinpeachable authority,
if denied This boasted soldier and
"gentleman" of the North is as much a
hireling and adyenturer as any Hessian
in his ranks IF he has any conscience,
it rebukes him daily for the base work
in which he is employed. When to
tiispangs of remorse is added the shame
Of defeat, his condition will be such as
even an enemy may. pity" ~
This is probing to the quick
Thousands Of Massachusetts men are in
Gen MeClsllan's army. The Richmond
Wig says it is ready to prove that
Mcclellan told the rebel officers "that
he would much rather be leading an
army against Massachusetts than Vir-
