The Triumphs OF the Union Arms.


The first fruits of the sagacious policy of
General Mcclellan are now visible to every
eye, and harvest of glory may soon be ex-
pected. The "On to Richmond" journals are
beginning to find out their own ignorance.
They have at length discovered that the Ohio,
and not the Potomac, is the main base of opera

the White House slops are thrown He cannot
even tell what closet contains the remains Of

to dive into the drawers, inspect the escretores

the only results Of this immense affair are
general laugh at the expense of Paul Pry Hick-
