HaIleok,s Opinion Of McClelIan.

A CAIRO correspondent says: In eonversa-
ton with gentleman from St. Louis last
night, learned some things that I must con-
fess were new to me, and as think the idea
will be new to the public generally, and as in
presenting it 1 shall not transcend the rules
laid down for the government of the press, 1
win endeavored to jot it down. The gentle
man I referred to I know to be warm per-
sonal friend of Gen. Halleck, and shares much
of that stirling officers favor and confidence.
Hence, a weight viii be attached towhatever
he says such as does not accrue to the sayings
ofordinary men. The conversation turning
upon the operations Of the army here and else
where, asked:
"What is Gen. Halleck's opinion of Gen.
McClellan2"
" Sir, said my friend, d" have heard Gen
HalleoE1 say, in substance, repeatedly, that he
considered the military skill, science, and pen
etration OF Gen. Mcclellan as second to that
of no man living; that whatever had been
done in the West and elsewhere was but the
carrying out of lIcCIelan's great plan Of the
war; that the general idea of each and every
one of these movements was the fruit of his
foresight and knowledge of war and its appli-
ances; and that Mcclellan had rough-hewn
the whole work, and only left the finishing
touches to the department and division COM
manders."

Anothor Monstar Cannon -.

Ok Saturday morning another fifteen inch
Rodman gun was cast at the Fort Pitt Works
We have already given the details Of casting
these huge pieces Of ordinance, and need not
here repeat them. The rough casting in the
pit weighs about $4,000 pounds, and nearly
forty tons Of metal were melted for the puF-
pose in three furnaces. The furnaces were
fred about FIVE o'clock, and at eight minutes
past ten the first furnace was " tapped. A
line of troughs, or runners, had been laid
from the furthest furnace, some eighty feet.
the second furnace, about midway, joining in.
and the two streams enptying with that from
the first furnace, into a large cauldron at the
edge of the pit, from which two streams di-
verged aud passing around the pit emptied
into the gun on opposite sides of the core
barrel. The furnaces were tabled in success
sion, and nearly all the metal allowed to run
out before the next in order was opened. At
twenty-four minutes past ten the mould was
filed, in inst sixteen minutes from the open
ing of the first furnace, showing that the metal
must have poured into it at the rate of nearly
two and half tons per minute.
This is the third successful casting made Of
fifteen inch guns, and the work viii soon be
regarded as an every day performance, each
successive casting having been made with less
trouble than the preceding one. The gun
will be finished with all possible expedition,
and, like the other, sent TO Washington for
its christening. PittsBarg Dispatch, H..

HOVE again Our proud boat is blowing
in the river, with Cincinnati in the distance.
From the residences on either side there is a
perfect tumult Of cambria, hailing the wound
ed patriots as they pass. Look at them, and
see the tears gisten in their eyes, as they
acknowledge the grateful welcome. One fel-
low whom we call q Uncle John, as stout
as an oak, and who don't care for bullet
wound that runs from his side to his breast
as he wipes away tear from his sunburnt
cheeks, says:
"Dang If boys, can't helpit. Whowould-
MT fight for such people and such country?"
And an Irishman, who recovered from a
wound received at Donelson just in time TO
get another at Shiloh, responds:
An sure ye are right. It's the daceutest
country in the world, an has the dacentest

A MAN in Federal uniform rode into Fay

Iy with the citizens, said he belonged to an
Ohio regiment, allowed a citizen, who asked
permission, to examine his gun, removing the
cap before handing it to him, dined at a tavern
with his gun on his lap at the table, had his
horse fed and left. The citizens thought him
one of Morgan's men, Notwithstanding lis re-
presentation. A short time after, however,
they were undecieved. Coming four or FIVE
miles on the road to Huntsville. he overlook
an old white men with four negroes and three
wagons Of bacon, he forced them to drive
their wagons close together, put fodder under
them, take out the mules and retire a few
steps. Then, lighting march, he set fire to
the wagons, consuming them and their con-
tents. Riding to church, a few miles dis
tant where preaching was going on, he asked
the minister if any soldiers were there, and
saying, if there were, he wanted them. Re-
ceiving q negative answer, he rode away, and
crossed the road ten miles this side of Fayette-
vile, with two other Federals That is the
last we have heard of them. The owner of
the bacon and wagons returned to Fayette-
vile with his negroes and mules, and report
ed his misfortune. Several men went in pur-
suit of the bold marauders. but failed to find
them.-HutsUiIe Democrat
