tract:
ION the 1st of October, finding Mcclellan
pnrposed operating from Harperss Ferry,
urged him to cross the river at once, and give
the enemy battle, pointing out to him the dis
advantages of delaying until the Autumn
rains had swollen the Potomac and impaired
roads, On the 9th of October he was per-
emptorily ordered to cross the Potomac and
give battle to the enemy. or drive them south.
1t will be observed that three weeks have
elapsed since that order was given. In my
opinion, there has been no such want of sup
plies in the army under Mcclellan 40 to pre-
vent his compliancs with my orders to ad.
vance upon ths enemy. Had b. removed his
army to the south side Of the Potomac. he
could have received supplies alznost a. speed
lily as by remaining on thu north side"
