MCCLELLAN AND the ARMY.-The
Washington correspondent of the Chi

many harsh things to say Of Gen. Nc
Clellan, writes in his last letter:
81 have disbclieved the repor is of the
armys affection for Mcclellan; being
entirely unable to account for the phen,
omenon. l cannot account for it TO nv
satisfaction now, but l accept it as a
fact. Even Gen. Hcintzelnan. whose
entire disbelief in Gen. McClellan's
ability is well known, said forty.eipht
hours ago that he was the only man in
whom the army, as a whole, had conf.
dcnce; the only man who could lift il
out of its present Generalization. Gen.
Heintzclman, as well as other witnesses.
not especially friendly to Mcclellan
testified TO tho enthusiasm with which
the soldiers welcomed their old com.
mander."

SUNSHINE

Scclusion from sunshine is one Of tn,
misiortuncs OF our civilized life. Tho

substituted. The upper story had boen
divided into sixteen small rooms, e: ch

his clothing, and exposed himself to the
direct rays of the sun. Lying on the
lounge, and turning over from time to
tlmo, each and every part of the body
was thus exposed to tho lfo giving rays
of the sun. Several London physicians
candidly confessed to me that many
cases which seemed waiting only for
tho shroud, were galvanized into health
by this baptism in the blessed sunshine.
Many years ago, clergyman who

10000 fighting men and 200 chariots--
in all, 100000 men and 1000 chariots.

10000 were slain.
a Roman fleet, led by Regulus

For hundred years and moro church

nobly decided; dying men have left their

and IN all this time tho evangelical

producers would remain at homo. Now
they are far worse than idle. Their
weapons arc costly equipments; but
harvests perish, and cities are ruined
by their presence.
England is contributing fearful

In the course of our miscellaneous read
ing, we came across the following goot
story, which illustrates the value of
bit of practical information, when an
piled at the right time:-
In tho Plaza before st. Peters a
Rome, stands tho most beautiful obelisl
in the world. 1t was brought from the
circus of Nero, whero it had lain buried
for many ages. 1t was one entire piece
Of Egyptian marble, ~ feet high, IL
feet square at the base, and Sfect square
the base, and 8 feet square at the top
and is computed to weigh about 47O
tons, and it is suppose to be 5000 years
old. Much engineering skill was re.
qnrcd to remove and erect this piece OF
art; and the celebrated architect, Do.
minico Fontanc, was selected and en-.
gagged by Pope Sixtus ", to carry out
the operation. A pedestal, 80 feet high
was built for its reception, tho obclisk
brought to its base. Many were the
ingenious contrvances prepared for the
raising of it to last resting place, all of
which excited the deepest intcrcs. among
the people.
At longth everything was in rcadi.
ness, and day was appointed for the
great event. A great multitude assem-
0led 20 witness the ceremony, and the
Pope, afraid that the c'amor OF the pco.
pie might distract the attention of the
architect, issued an cdict containing reg
ulations to be kept, and imposing the
sevcrest penalties Oh any one who
should, during tho lifting of the gigan.
tic stone, utter single word. Amidst
suppressed excitement of feelings and
breathless silence, tho splendid monu.
mont was gradually raised 10 within a
few inches OF tho top of the PEDESTAL,
when its upward motion cca,ed; it hung
suspended, and could not be got furth.
or; the tackle was too slack, and there
seemed to be no other way than to un.
do the great work already accomplished.
The annoyed architect, in his perplex
ity, hardly knew how to act; while the
silent people were anxiously watching
every motion of his features to discover
how the problem could be solved.
In the crowd was an old British sail.
or; ho saw tic d fliculty and how to
overcome it, and with stentorian lungs
he shouted, "Wet the ropcs!" The Wig.
liant police pounced on the culprit and
odged him in prison; the architect
caught tho magic words, he put this
proposition in force, and the cheers of
,he people proclaimed the success of
ne great undertaking. Next day the
British criminal was solcmnly arraigned
before his Holiness; his crime was un.
ieniably proved, and the Pope, in SOL
'mn language, pronunced his sentence
o be that he should receive pension
during his lifetime.

The Devotion Of the Troops 90 Gen
Mcclellan.

We have been permitted tn publish
the following private letter, written by
| w. w. Curtis TO his sister in this place
II shows the high estimation in which
Gen. Mcclellan is held by the Army of
the Potomac, those who have been un-
der his immediate command for the last
year:
"Well, from frs. to last, VIC heard
but ono word For Gods sake, send
Us Mcclellan where is Little Mac?'
oh, for the old boots of Mcclellan to
rally around y Ii was the constant cry
OF the victims Of the Army Of tho
Potomac, and Pope's own men caught
up the infection and caught up tho cry
until 1t almost amounted to mutiny--to
say the least it was Generalization.
Well, the army was ordered back, and
on Monday Mcclellan, with small es-
cort, rode out to view the fortifications,
and Glanced to meet the returning
columns. will not undertake to de-
scribe the scene that followed. You
have heard Of Napoleon's return from
Elba. This was of the same enthusi-
astic character. AS soon as he was rec
ognized thetroops sent forth such cheers
as only soldiers can give. The General
rode rapidly along, gracefully acknowl-
edging the compliment by raising his
cap, while for miles and miles could be
heard the lusty cheers as he came in
the presence of new bodies of troops,
until distance reduced the sound to
what was little moro than an echo. No
other man could that day command
those troops or bring forth such cheers.
"His re.appointment was a necessity,
for the army was no better than flock
of sheep. The men l'ke Banks and
Sigel-- they do NOT like Pope or Nc
Dowell (although the last named think
is victim of circums tances), but they
cling TO Mcclellan with a devotion that
would seem like infatuation. And now
SEQ in what prcdicamcnt the country
has been placed by miserable politicians.
They have educated the poplar senti-
ment at the North 10 believe that Nc
Clellan is an imbocilc--a coward-an
incompetent officer "a braggart "a
traitor! have heard all this and more.
As consequence, the sentiment know
1t the Nnorth is strong against him, and
his appointments at this time may cast
chilling effect on tho public feeling.
But the brave veterans who carry mus.
icts, and who verify their patriotic
leeds, give Tho lie TO ali these charges,
Ind | would sooner believe ono of them
With thousand swearing blustcrcrs and
,rowlcrs like Ben. Wade, Of Ohio. Oh,
low l hope that my native State will
end some decent man in his place this
winter. He has done moro TO impair
he confidence Of the people in tho
resident and our Generals than any
