WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. A letter dated Oct %.
TO the Secretary OF War, signed by Gen. Hal
letk, is to be published to day, in which Gen.
Halleck Gays Gen. Mcclellan has been furnished
with every hing in the shape of supplies asked
for, and more promptly than the Other divisions
Of our army. He also says " on the first day
Of October urged him to cross the river at
once ard give battle to the enemy. On the 9th
Of Oct. he Was peIemptorlly ordered to cross
the Potomac and give battle to the enemy, or
drive him South.
twill be observed three weeks have elapsed
since the order was given. In my opinion there
has been no such want of supplies In the army
under Gen. Mcclellan as to prevent his compll-
ance with the orders TO advance against the
enemy. Had he moved to the South side of
the Potomac, he could have received his sup
plies almost as readily as remaining inactive on
the north
