Mcclellan and the Surrender 1t HLar-
perss Ferry.

From the Baltimore American Sept "a. s#A
We are rather surprised to see, that the
New York Times gives up several columns
to an attack, by George Wilkes, on the
military capacities of General Mcclellan in
connection with the loss of Harper's Ferry.
We know here, and it ought to be known
in New York, that the post of Harper's
Ferry was under the command Of General
Wool and not of General Mcclellan. We
know also that before starting from Wash
ington General Mcclellan urged the evac-
uation of Harper's Ferry, and the occupa-
ton of Maryland Heights, on the ground
that he did not believe 1t could be held if
thoroughly besieged- and on the. further
ground that to assist it would greatly in
terfere with his plan Of campaign. In re-
ply to this recommendation, assurances
were given that the post was ssimpregna-
ble," and the recommends Of General
Mcclellan UNDECIDED. The fact is, that
Harper's Ferry could be held as we'll by
garrison oftwelye thousand men as by one
of a hundred thousand, but we doubt if it
could be held long with any force if the
Maryland Heights should fall into the
hands of the attacking party. That it
could have been defended twenty -four
hours longer, with but slight additional
loss, there can be no two opinions. The
extensive works on Bolivar Heights were
either erected for ornament or to resist a
siege-if for the latter, they were aban-
doned without use. Whoever was at fault
there was certainly no fault on the part of
General McC lellan.
A few days since we also read an attack
on General Mcclellan in the New York
Times for not having made reports Of the
seven days battles on the Peninsula. Now
we happen to know that General McClel-
Ian, six days after he reached Harrison S
Landing, placed in the hands of the War
Department full reports of those battles.
1t is therefore no fault of his that these re-
ports have not been published.

Heart BENDING Scenes in our Hos
pitfalls.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Who shall describe, with Thoughts that
breathe and words that burn, in language
that shall compress volume into sem
tence, a sentence into word, the agony
of mind and body, which is the hourly
boon of the hundreds in our hospitals
Aged men and tender boys suffer alike.
One youth, the very picture of manhood's
budding beauty, has lost foot or leg, and
limps along upon his crutch. Another,
with bandaged breast and brow, remem-
bers the fatal bravery which inspired him
on the battlefield, and weeps involunta-
rily, as he never wept before, at the sweet
thought Of home and mother. One touch
ing incident we hear of-one that will
draw tears to every eye, and thrill each
bosom with pang. Several charitable
ladies lately visited one of the military
hospitals. Every refreshment that could
be furnished they supplied. Ice-cream
was handed round, and the poor invalids
eagerly partook of it. In one corner of
the room, however, the spoon and saucer
had not been touched. On the bed, by
the little table containing them, lay a
young boy, his features pale, his eyelids
dropping. A lady gently tanning his fair
forehead, softly whispered, ''the poor little
fellow is asleep-we must not disturb
him."
''No, ma'am, I'm not asleep" he an
swered. 1t was silvery voice, full of the
sweetness of innocence and boyhood.
''Well, my little fellow" continued the
lady, as she nearer drew, care you not
fond of ice-cream
every much so, he replied
''Didnt you see me place this on your
little table?" reaching for the plate of
cream.
"Oh, yes" he answered, TREMENDOUSLY,
''but shut my eyes and cried to my
seif.''
''Cried, my child ? why, what made you
cry, my dear p
ooh, madam if you will pull the quilt
down little, you will see."
''The lady did so, and found that he had
no arms Both of them he had lost in
battle.
Poor little fellow the sympathy of 81
lence and tears was all that could be be-
slowed upon his wounded spirit, The re-
membrance of sister and brother, or father
and mother, of childish frolics and play
mates loved Of yore, was awakened to
soothe the fancy of the little sufferer, and
to wreathe his young brow with the still
tenderer beauty of resignation to the will
of God

Lieut-Col. Moore, encountered 40 Rebel cavalry,
under Jack Allen. half mile south Of tho railroad.
After brisk fire of musketry for twenty minutesthe
endmy were routed and fed. There were no Union
casualties. Blood along the road was found by the
skirmishers we sent out, but no enemy. }

Town of Lebanon, and robbed the Commercial Bank

2. Any figure OF more than 8 sides may be
equilateral without being eQm angular.
g. In any rectllnear figure, il we consider
the perimeter constant quantity, the area
is maximum when its angles are equal.
T. AS the area of any plain figure varies
as the square ofi's perimetsr it follows that
any plainfgare may be 50 extended as to!
satisfy the conditions OF the problem. assa
5. Let us assume that the equilateral fig
ure is qaadrilateral. Then will its area be

II the figure is a rhomJAs, then will its area
vary as the sine Of its angles and become a
minimum when two its angles are reduced
