We have held the opinion that
Mcclellan and Buell. were the best
Generals the Federals have got
The very intelligent army cores
3 pondent of the Savannah Repub-
lican, in>a late letter, thus speaks
of Mcclellan, after the Maryland
battles: 2779i5t.1
"It,may not be improper to sug-
gest here, that the people of the
Confederate States have been led
to- underestimate the abilities OF
Mcclellan. In my Judgment, he
is incomparably the best officer in
the Federal army, if not the equal
OF, any in the Confederate; and if
he had such troops as ours to COM
niand, the world would not be long
in finding itout. His disasters are
not Justly attributable to his lack
of generalship SO much as to the
character of his troops. The
manner in which he conducted bis
retreat from Richmond, and his
conduct of affairs thus far in Ma
ryland, are enough to entitle him
to be ranked with the ablest COM
manders on either side. Officers
tell me that a close inspection OF
his works before Richmond, and a
thoroughexamination of his move
ments, from day to day, after the
: battles commenced, did not disclose
one solitary mistake or blunder on
ahis part. He did the best that
could be, done at every point, under
the circumstances, and with the
material he had around him. Ii
is safer to, give our enemy credit
for too much ability, than too hit
tie. Tg - h

TIE Buffalo papers report that all rail
roads running Eastward are ehoked with
freight. They have much more offered
than they are able to carry. Freight
shipped from Chicago for Buffalo by the
several routes has been frequently from
twenty-five to forty days in transit. This
delay cannot well be avoided till the lake
is open again. The earnings of the New
YORK Central Railroad for four months
ending February lst, show the enormous
increase of 81, o45, $50 over the same pc
Rod year ago. or more than per cent
on the capital stock. The earnings of the
Buffalo, New York s. Erie Read for two
weeks in February, were S3l loIr gain

increased earnings of Sls-2sl (or 81 per

Among the curious documents found on
Roanoke Island. we have received copy
of letter addressed to General Henry A.
Wise by the captains and lieutenants of
his legion, at the time when his feud with
Floyd was at its height. They attribute
the inaction of theslegion to Floyd's ham
pering and badgeriug of Wise, and tell
Wise they believe there is political con-
.pirscy against him, and ask him either to
obtain the exclusive control of his legion
again as an independent command, or, dis
band it. The legion was then at sewell
Mountain, in Western Virginia.

A Perplesea Nortn carollnlan.


A letter from Roanoke Island sets forth
the perplexity of one of the natives in an
amusing light:
During the battle of Roanoke, the house
of one Samuel Jarvis, at Shallow Rock bay,
was used as hospital for wounded rebels
The 9Th New York was in occupation, part
of the force bringing in prisoners from
time to time, aud the rest engaged in cook
ing their evening meal, which was supper
and dinner in one. Mr.. Samuel Jarvis, the
proprietor of the premises SO summarily
occupied by the Zouayes, farmer and
fisherman, was a bewildered individual.
His family was in one of the negro houses,
and he was outside mourning over the
events of the day. He had nothing again
the North, and had sold great many shad
to go there. But the troops bad killed one
of his pigs, and his wife had lost her tenn
per and fiatirons. 'Do you own any ne
groes, Mr. Jarvis? well, did, but three
of 'em went to Hatteras last week, two
more have run away, don't know where,
and there's one in the kitchen I'll give away
If anybody wants him 1t was clear case
of uumistakabIe collapse. He was assured
that his remaining property would be pro-
tected, and that all Deficiencies should be
made good if he was loyal" -s

GEN. Scorr was asked last summer how
it was proposed to conquer the rebels
The veteran slowly shut bis hand. The
gesture was more eloquent than Words
1t told the whole story of the campaign
from its opening to its elimination. The
hand has begun to close-the pressure has
begun to grind at the heart of the great
conspiracy. Slowly but surely the re-
teutIess fingers are Tightening about the
throat of the monster Day by day, hour
by hour the avenue of escape is narrow
ing, the possibility of avertiug its doom is
becoming more and more remote. The

England,s Escape from In1amy.

John Stuart Mill, the celebrated English
writer on political economy, has. an srti-
Gle in Frazsr's Magazine upon American
affairs, in which he speaks of the escape
of England from 3 war with the United
States as an escape from infsmy, and
says:
ave could have acted no otherwise than
We have done; yet it is impossible TO think,
without something like a shudder, from
what We have escaped. We, the emanci-
pators OF the slsve-who nave wearied
every court and Government IN Europe
aud America with our protests and re-
noustrances, until We goaded them into at
least osteusibly cooperating with Us &c
prevent the easiaTing of the negro-we,
who for the last half century have spent
annual sums equal TO the revenue Of n
, small kingdom, in hlocksding the African
coast, tor a cause in which We not only
had 10 interest, but which was contra
r. to our pecunisry interest, and which
many believed would ruin, as many
amoag US still, though enormously, believe
that il has ruined. our colonies-we should
have lent hand 10 setting up, in one of
the most commanding positions of the
world, powerful republic. devoted not
only to slavery, but TO pro-slayery Propa-
gandism-shouid have helped TO give a
place in the community OF nations to con-
spiracy of slave owners, who have broken
their connection with the American fede-
ration on the sole ground, ostentationsly
proclaimed, that they thought an attempt
would be made TO restrain, not slavery
itself, but their purpose of spreading sia-'
very wherever migration or force could
carry it. There is no denying that our at
titude towards the Gontendiug parties, II
mean our moral attitude, for politically
there was no other coarse open TO US than
neutrality has not beea that which be-
comes people who are as sincere enemies
of slavery as the English really are, and
have made as great sacrifices TO put an
end to it where they could."
