b9 The Richmond Enquirer contains
the following hit at Mcclellan, which,
we are ashamed to confess, is not so
much burlesque but that it lets the /
truth shine through;
ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
Oct 10, SPIN
Hon. E. IT. Stanton, Secy Of Var:
In the execution of long-conceived
plan, / have decoyed the pestiferous reb-
ell Stuart across the Potomac for the pur-
pose of capturing him and his horse
thieving, eoat-stealing, rear-drlVlng clan.
The meshes of my net have been admir-
ABLY laid, and the poor futterer cannot
possibly escape. By sort of poetic in
spiration, this Scotch descendant OF some
cattle-lifting Mac was decoyed over at
Mac C6ys Ferry Nothing half SO hap
DIV, or ingenious, was devised at Sebasto-
Let me ins anticipation of the certain
| and joyful result, congratulate the glori-
Gus Union on the capture fthis High
land cateran. He has been stencil
in the nostrils and smoke in the eyes
of the Union troops ever since his tramp
around my rear in June last. de, too,
has been ever the avant-courier of the
motley crew of rebels on my right flank.
We have him now-and there will be
"no more Bull Runs"
Respectfully,
| G. B. MCCLELLAN,
