nrtuIelInu,s Work.

In an article Of two days ago we ex-
pressed hearty regret If it should prove to
be faci that Gen. Mcclellan was to com
nand the combined armies Of Virginia,
considering him incompetent to lead our
armiesin hefeId. We think 50 still, and
reports and information which have since
yetcOme to hand modify cur opinion very
materially as to the value Of that General
to the country at this time. The partially
clear, partially confused reports which had
reached the public for the last ten days
hadleft The impression that the army was
still in good condition for fighting, and
ready to drive the invading rebels from
the advanced position they hadaudaciOusly
struggled for. 1t now appears that the
whole army has returned to the cover Of
the thirty forts which surround Washing
ton and that it is generally disorganized.
Weekswill be requiredto put it in fighting
trim again, and to SO incorporate with it
the constantly arriving new leyies that
they may be most efficient We were cut
generated in the recent battles, and the az
my has lost much of its confidence in some
hitherto popular commanders. Gen. Nc
Dowell is said to be universally execrated
by the army, and Gen. Pope is very gen.
orally sensured. To organize the broken
army and get it ready for another cam
psign viii require active effort and great
Judgment in military formations In this
line Mcclellan stands pre-eminent. He is,
therefore, wanted for this work, and as
the future army is now within his forts, be
will ofcourse command them. The new
men are 10 be brigaded and accustomed to
division manOuvering. A month or six
weeks viii probably be required for this
work, and in meantime they can be in no
better hands than McClellan's. But then,
when the army once more assumes the Of
fensiTe, they will do more service under
another general than he.
Whether the rebels viii remain in their
present position, besieging Washington as
they did one year ago, or more to the
Northward and thence into Maryland, or
return to the RappahannOck, and thence
again to Richmond for supplies remains to
be seen. Upon the location Of the two ar
mics and their relative position toward
each other depends the question Of the fit
est man for the command of the Federal
army Of Virginia.

The Buttle Record, California, Dem
Ocratic journal, said the other day that
"Gov sprague, of Rhode Island was the
only Democratic Governor in America at
the time the war began, and was among
the first to lead our troops to the Nations
capital"
To which the Sacramento Bee stingingly
responds:
"There were SsUeateen Democratic Gov
ernors at the outbreak of the war; all but
four of whom were raising troops to be led
Ito the nations capital anterior to such
action on the part of Governor Sprague-
and the only difference between them was
that while Sprague was going to defend il,

From Eastern ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
the Rebels.

the Rebels.
A merchant Of Cincinnati, who left Mt.
Sterling, KY, on Thursday morning, in
forms the Gazette that Cerro Gordo Will
Iams rebels, being the advance of Hum
phrey Marshars division, had entered that
part Of the State, and had taken possession
of 81 sral towns, including Mt Sterling.
There was the greatest excitement, the
Union people mostly fleeing to the Ohio
river. Six hundred came down in one par
ty, to Maysville, including the Judge Of
the Court and Commonwealth Attorney
The rebels moved in two columns. One Of
these had gone to Winchester, and thence
they would march to Paris. Humphrey
Marshars whole army was moving for
ward to effect a junction with Kirby Smith.
The informant from the best information
he could get estimates Msrshars forces at
ten thousand.
The Gazette also learns from Camp LOui-
ga, on the Big Sandy, that Marshal had
crossed the Cumberland mountains with
ten thousand men and three batteries of
artillery of Ave guns each, and is said to
have two thousand cavalry. The opinion
of the Union men is that the sympathizers
in that region viii join him. Spies and
bushwhackers infest the country around
Louisa. The Fortieth Ohio regiment is
stationed at that place, and ofoourse it is in
danger. Thus tits seen that Kirby Smith
is concentrating largo army at Le1ing-

Correspondents Of the New York Tnbune.l
Gen. Pope told your correspondent that
he has the utmost confidence in Gen. Mellow
ell, and that he was not to blame for the
turningof his left flank on Saturday.
Other officers defend the General to the
last. In the rank and file there is an in
tense feeling against him, and think were
he to appear again before our men they
would not hesitate to shoot him down.
1 believe the feeling is universal, but
still l think Gen. Mcdowell does not mer-
it it. He is said to have been POpe's chief
adviser on Saturday as Sigel was on Fri
day.
Gen. Sigel is put down on all sides as the
hero of the Fridays fight His reputation
as general has been much augmented.
Men who said once, make him commander
of a division, now say, let him lead the
army.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In tyler times, Mr.. Web
ser, in his great Faneuil Hall speech, find
ing that the Wings would not hold fellow
ship with him, asked them "where shall
go?" The great expOunder could not be
locofOco, and there was then no other
party for him to join, and hence he was to
be left out in the cold.
A portion of our citizens who happen to
have a little more Of the Anglosaxon than
of the cOlOred blood of Afric's sable sons,
are in a similar predicament. The Con-
stitution of Ohio says that all free white
male citizens of the United States who
have resided within Ohio during the proper
time, shall be allowed TO exercise the elect
i've franchise. In deciding a question as
to the right of person, with African
blood in his veins, to vote, the Supreme
Court of Ohio, all the Judges asserting,
decided that a man thus situated, if the pre-
ponderance of the Caucasian blood, ,wes over
that of the African, he was a white man to
all intents and purposes-that he was a
'lVhits male citizen of the United States, 7"
and as such was voter. This decision,
before affirmed by the Supreme Court was
thus finally settled beyond cavil as thelaw
of the land
Now a number Of these free i0hits male
citizens of the United States are anxious
to enter the army and battle against seces-
sion and in favor of the Union; but "NO,"
say our State authorities, "yOu can't do it,
you are niggersi You have the right to
vote, for on election day you are white men,
but it wouldhurt the feelings of some very
tender footed gentlemen to see you in the
army, with musket on your shoulder, and
hence, when the country needs the service
Of men to defend her soil, you are aiggers
and can't be allowed to fgh, with white
men"
Why is this, Mr.. Editor2 If we are
white men one or two days in the year, why
can't we be white men all the year round ?
We are white enough to pay taxes-white
enough to vote-white enough to satisfy
the Constitution, yet we are aiggsrS-noth-
ing but niggers, when we wish to marry
woman with a shade more of white mems
blood in her veins than we have-niggers
when we wish to defend our country. 1t
is true, we can go as cooks and servants,
and can take the shovel and the hoe and dig
trenches, but when the trenches are com
pleted we must retire to the rear, as mig
gers who are not allowed TO fight against
the slave owners down in Dixie, because
it might make EN- mad
The Supreme tribunal, which alone has
the right to settle the question, says we are
white men" free whits male citizens of
the United States"-the State officials deny
this, when they refuse us the white mans
privilege of bearing arms to defend his
" own, his native land" We must be
either one or the other, either white or
black we cannot be both at the same time.
Can you tell us which we are, Mr.. Edi-
tor? Can you tell us, as Mr.. Webster in
qEired about himself, where we shall g"
among the white sheep or the black ones ?
Our condition is an anomalous one-sure
we are not hybrid, we must be one thing
or the other. Who then is right, the Court
and the Constitution, or the recruiting
officer? Who can answer?

daughter. She fed in alright, he pursu-
ing. He finally fired at her and supposed
he had killed her. The ball, however, hit
her in the side, breaking two ribs, but not
causing a fatal wound. He then returned
to his wife, who had recovered and was en-
deavoring to escape. he reloaded his gun
and shot her dead. BE has been arrested
