The New Yers City Pres.

Tie Tsnes: There il no mistaking the pur.
port Of Gen. McClellAn's stirring appeal 20 the
powerful and well-trainsd army under his com
mand. Ii means 'On 10 Richmond ~ We
predict that within twenty days Richmond will
be in the hands Of Mcclellan and Norfolk In
possession Of Burnside, and jeff Davis oitnsr
. prisoner In our hands, or q fugitive among the
people whom he has dsludsd and ruined.
The H~oid-This terse emphatic, patriotic
addrefs quickeps the blood like the call Of a
trumpet. II will Inspire the army with invinc-
ible ardor, the nation with rene sed confidence,
and the world With admiration. 1t pc inis on
ward 10 victory.
The TTiblsns.--It is elaborate, exhibits much
patriotic fesliDg, and apologies for the gigantic
failure TO capture this enemy and on the war At
Manassas. Its evident from this a ldrosi that
Gen. McClallsn faais tlie weight OF that enor-
mona kor more deeply perhaps, than any otnr
man In the country. But notwithstanding that
event, the President sees fit to retain him in
hts command, and IL is now our duty " strength
en his hands as far "a possible.
The Worid.-Tho best bulletin Of the war
which has yet been Issued is Geo. McClollAns
address 10 the army Of the Potomac. IL Is
brief, manly and stirring. There IA no appeal
TO base pasions-he appeals 70 tina ncblest.
He has not even lAihsd his political enemies.
he Only promises TO lead his SOLDIERS against
the enemies Of his country. Hs does not de-
iend his plans-he simply SAYS that in the
Course Of their development (Which has also
been the course Of their suocOas) the tina has
now cons when the troops which are the flower
Of our grand army are to move forward 10 the
victory which tbeir discipline and their courage
and tn blessing OF heaven have orooiiAtnOd.

anese officer who hay demand it, but it protects
the wearer from arrest and makes il the duty
the official TO complain to the Consul, whose
duty it will be TO soe justice dons. The British
subjects are excessively annoyed at this regu-
lation, which places them on the same footing
as Coolies, who are requi-ed to wear at their
belts pieces of bosrd some two by four inches in
diameter, inscribed with their names and a
government brand.
