averages thirty feet in height, with twelve
ears to stalk, and gourd full Of sheiied

sB- We hope the papers in their anxiety
to exhibit Gen. Mcclellan as a man of tender
feeling, will not unsex him and dress him up
in petticoats. Here is one of the latest effu-
sions copied from the Argus: "On Saturday,
says an exchange, when Gen. Mcclellan re-
ceived information of the successful landing of
Burnsides army ON the south side of the Rap
pahannock, he buried his face in his hands,
and after a long and gloomy silence, he arose
and said he trusted the brave boys would all
get safely back again, but he feared they would
be cut to pieces" We don't believe Burn
sides successful landing made Mcclellan
gloomy, nor do we believe he is so childish as
to expect to carry any strong works without
some Of our brave boys getting hurt.
