The Last shadow Of Doubt Re-
moved.

The testimony Of Gen. Mcclellan in the
Mcdowell court of inquiry, and the letters
and orders Of President and Secretary OF
War produced by Gen. Mcdowell in connec-
ton Herewith, contained in our last issue,
clear up the shadow of doubt, il such shad-
ow remained, concerning the causes of the fail.
IRE Of Gen. Mcclellan against Richmond.
IL had been perfectly arranged, and Gen,
Mcclellan set out for the Peninsula on the
distinct understanding, that he should have
the corps of Gen. Mcdowell in the assault
upon Richmond, and in his testimony he says:
~ have no doubt-for IL has ever been my
~opinion-that the army of the Potomac would
have taken Richmond, had not the corps Of
Gen. Mcdowell been separated from IT, IL is
also my opinion that had the command Of
Gen. Mcdowell joined the army of the Poto-
mac in the month OF May by way Of Hano-
yer Court House, from Fredericksburg, we
should have had Richmond in a week after
the junction" 1t was on the Oath of May
that Gen. Mcdowell received the order of the
Secretary Of War, directing him to cooperate
with Gen. Fremont and not with Gen. Nc
Clellan, and his reply to it was: 1.-THE Pres
idents order has been received, and is in pro-
cess of execution. This is a crushing blow
to US"
The President and Secretary Of VA had
taken the conduct of the war in Virginia out
of General McClellan's hands and assumed
it themselves. The immediate consequences
we're, the disasters on the Peninsula, Pope's
disasters in 'front.' of Washington, the rebel IN
vasiou of Maryland, the loss of tens Of thous-
ands of lives, the sacrifice Of untold of trea-
sure, and the indefinite prolongation Of the
war.
The charitable opinion is that the Presi-
dent was the mere passive instrument Of the
Secretary of War and his associate m~arplots
and conspirators to deprive Mcclellan of the
honor OF taking Richmond, as he has since
been their passive instrument in the removal
of Mcclellan from the command Of the Army
of the Potomac.
And thus il is that all the stupendous inter
est of this vast country, and the great expert
ment of the Republican Government, are
made the sport of the Abolition conspiritors
in and about the Administration at Washing
ton.
