From McCIeIlan's Army-No Fighting OF
Friday.
FoRr MoNRoE. JulY s.

FoRT MONROE, July 5.
The news from Mcclellan is glorious.
Yesterday, the day we all dreaded, fearing
lest the rebels would make combined at
tack upon our lines, instead of having to
meet the rebels, he had clear ground and ac-
tually advanced his army six miles. Praise
God, Mcclellan is safe ! The clouds have
blown by-the sun rises in splendor, and
the Union army. about whose existence the
fears of the nation have been excited to the
utmost height, is no longer in peril.
The enthusiasm of our troops cannot be
expressed in language. The army of the
Potomac is an army of heroes, and to them
the American people owe debt of graft
tude that can never be Cancelled. Il has
braved battle for every successive day in the
week, and against superior numbers it has
won the victory. Lee is in retreat on Rich
mond; $4,000 Union troops have repulsed
10000 of the flower of Southern chivalry.
So much for their Wanting, and so much
for the fiery spirit infused into their souls by
whisky and powder mixed.
Word from the army, this morning, gives
the greatest satisfaction, and relieves the
heart of any load that has oppressed it dur
ing the last week. There was no fighting
yesterday except in picket skirmishing. al
though our lines were extended front for the
six miles above mentioned. Reinforcements
are arriving and pushing on to Mcclellan,
and their appearance on the field is hailed
with shouts of joy. McClellan's ''boys" be-
lieve they can take Richmond any day. and
Nc Clelian is their idol. God bless the no.
BILE boys and heroic commander.

that the treatment they met from the rebel

were held captives was universally kind and
humane, so different from what they lad
anticipated that it was actually surprising
to them.

The New York World, gives an interest
ing statement by Union man who has just
reached that city from Atlanta, Georgia, re-
specting the position of affairs at the South.
From this gentleman's account, it appears
first, that had the recent contest before
Richmond terminated in Confederate de-
feat, the rebellion would have ended, as the
spirit of the South was almost utterly bro
ken by the long series of rebel defeats. Sec
ond, that the rebel army at Richmond previ-
GUS to the late battles, was undoubtedly
fully 100000 strong. Half of Beauregard's
army passed through Atlanta, going to Rich
mond, to this gentleman's knowledge.
Third, that but comparatively small guam
tity of cotton has been destroyed at the
South, as the planters do what they can to
save and not destroy their property. There
viii be an abundance, therefore, for the needs
of commerce whenever the rebellion is end
ed. Fourth, the wheat and oat crops at the
South are an utter failure, and if the corn
should also fail. famine. as we'll as other for
tunes Of the war. will be the fate of the South.

There is no doubt but what the rebels
had plan on foot to capture the whole of
our army before Richmond; aud had it not
been for the shrewdness of Nc ClelIsn, they
would have carried out their designs. They
confess that the yalor of our men, the con-
summate judgment with which the whole
affair was managed on our part, and the
stubbornness with which our brave soldiers
stood up before their overpowering num-
bers-coutesting the ground with them foot

pletely nonplussed them, and prevented

The Americans are people of opinions.
When battle transpires, it is discussed in
all its details with as much familiarity as
though we could see it in all its bearings,
although the scene of conflict may be thou
sands of miles away, and wrapped in all
secresy and mysts d. fla great victory is
won, there is diversity of opinion as to
who shall receive the credit; and if our
arms are beaten. just as great variety of
opinion exists as to who should be blamed
and disgraced from the service. Just now
we are discussing the late battles, and their
good or bad effects, as though we knew all
about the actions and motives of the COM
handing General, the President, Secretary
tary of War, etc. Some say the blame must
rest upon Mcclellan; others denounce the
President; and still another and perhaps
more numerous class, pounce upon Secre-
rotary Stanton. whose praise was on every
tongue but few months ago.
We will close this squib by quoting the
following paragraph from the New York
WEeS' WHICH We thlhk contains a volume
of good sense:
We see little good likely TO come of all
this. What the country needs is courage,
and new army-not ordinations or criti-
cisms of any kind. Indeed. if we had had
less of these hitherto, we might have less
provocation for them now. The great cause
of our weakness has been discussions in
Congress, in the Cabinet, and in the Press,
the merits of different Generals
and the wisdom of different policies. In
carrying on war, the one thing needful is
confidence in the Government and its agents.
Whatever strengthens this aids the common
cause; whatever and whoever weakens it, in
1icts upon that cause blow which may be
fatal.

It will undoubtedly be q source of graf
i6cation to the anti Nc lellanites, that he has
been hauled before the U. S: Senate. The
subject has been brought before that body
by resolution offered by Chandler. of Mich
igan, requesting the President to lay before
them all the orders issued by General Nc
Clellan. his correspondence, as to the
strength of his force, etc., if not incompat-
ible with public interests. We publish the
debate elsewhere. The resolution passed by
a considerable majority, but the enemies of
the Communicating Chief must not take this
as test of his standing in the Senate, be-
cause many of his friends voted for it feel
ing that they did not fear the result of an
Investigation. No doubt the General is very
glad this matter is to be brought before the
people. The truth is just here: the radicals
hate Mcclellan because he does not see ct
to adopt their plan of conducting the war.
We should like Nc Clellan all the better if
he were little more radical on the sla-
very question, but still we don't believe in
the "rule or ruin" policy. The late strug-
giles before Richmond raised Mcclellan
higher in the estimation of thousands of the
people than he had ever stood before. The
accomplishment of one of the most diff
cult feats known to military science, that
Of changing his position right before the face
and eyes of the enemy, has given him
claim to generalship which he never before
possessed. All unbiased men want to see him
out of the scrape. They have more faith
in him now than ever, and feel that he is the
very man that can and will take Richmond.
