which arrived at Boston on Saturday af-

the church bells from that city which
had been gathered BY order OF General

One of the most striking objects
which presented itself as our steamer

Market, was an immense collection OF
bells lying on the wharf, and covering,

and amounting in number to hundreds.
These we're Beauregard's bells, sent in
response to his call. They we're Of all
sizes, from very large church bells
weighing hundreds of pounds, down to
small plantation and steamer bells.

it stated that the arrears Of pay due by the
government to the Seventeenth Connecticut
regiment-sl3,ooo in the aggregate-were last
week advanced to the paymaster by one Of its
members--a private. This is putting the eli
max to the national humiliation brought about
by radical mismanagement. II Secretary

1t may surprise the European critics of Gen.

as q monstrous combination Of the worst vices
Of Caligula, Nero and Bomba. Euro
peans should remember that be invited Mrs
Beauregard to remain in New Orleans whea
the city was captured by our forces, and that,
in spite of her connection with the rebel leaders
and sympathy with the rebel cause, General
Butler has SO well protected his enemy's wfs
that even the rebel newspapers have had No
complaints, real or pretended, to utter upon
The subject. Coming, as the present incideaA
does, amid the resounding clash of arms, it wiM

Tue HUMANrrIEs AND AMENITIES OF WAR;
From the letter of our New Orleans cores
pondent, published in another column this
morning, we learn that Mrs. Beauregard is now
lying at the point Of death in that city, and
that General Butler has ssnt polite note to
General Beauregard, Of the rebel army, inviting
him 70 visit his dying wife, and promising him
respectful treatment and safe passage through
our lines and back to his command. We hope
that General Beauregard will accept this invi-
tation in the same spirit % that In which II ID

he caused the retreat of the enemy from Mary
land, and insured the safety Of Washington. his
pursuit Of Lee was prevented by the delay Of
the necessary supplies When he was again
stripped Of the command, and Burnside was ap-
pointed his successor, the latter was served in
the same way. The base was suddenly changed
by the War Department; but the railroad from
Aqua creek was not repaired to forward sup
plies, the army and the horses were in actual
want of food, aud the promised pontoons to
cross the Rappahsnnock had not come The
result was that Lee had time to make the heights
beyond fredericksburg stronger than Sebasto-
pol 1t was madness to attack him in front in
from Washington to advance, and Burnside had
no option but to resign. The consequence Is
the greatest and most calamitous disaster OF the
war. That it has not been utter destruction is
owing not TO ths War Department and General
Halleck, but to tho prudence of Burnside, and
Lees want Of vigilance and foresight in allow
ing him 70 escape from TIE traR
Never before, perhaps. in the history Of
war, was such ignorance, vaciliation and inn
beeiiity exhibited by men at the head Of
great nation, and carrying on life and death
struggle in its name, with resources in troops
and money and materials Of war without pa
rallel in the annals of any other country Of
ancient or modern times. How long is such
incompetence to abuse the patience OF the peo-
pie. and to be endured by the President, who,
as their Chief Magistrate has the power to dis
charge all incapable, blundering officials, and
replace them by able and patriotic men, who
would be proud to serve the republic in this
great crisis Of its peril.
The New York herald., 1862-12-19

MORE SIDE WIND ATTACKS on McCLELIAN-
The radical organs, afraid that the last stu
pendous blunder at Fredericksburg will raise
an irresistible clamor throughout the country
for the recall of Mcclellan, are endeavoring to
defeat it by the same indirect and dastardly
calumnies with which they have all along sought
to blast his reputation. In the Tribune Of yester
day, for example, are given extracts from
dispatches alleged to have been sent over the
wires by General Porter during Pope's brief
campaign in Virginia, and which are relied upon
as evidences Of hostility to that officer his supe-
rior in command, and Of contempt for his plan
of operations. The phrases which are thus
construed are these:-'I hope Mack is at work
to get us out Of this" and II hope Mcclellan
is satisfied with what we have DONE" Con-
sidering that to the Army of the Potomac
General Pope owed his not having been cut to
pieces in his memorable retreat upon Washing
ton, we find nothing out Of the way in these
expressions. Il has ever been McClellan's
earnest injunction to those who have served
under him to transfer to his successors the
zeal and devotion to the cause Of the country
which they had exhibited while acting with
him. General Porter conscious that he had
done 30, sought to elicit from his former chief
and friend such q testimony Of approval -
would show that he had satisfied his wishes.
In ell this there is nothing dsrogatory to Gene
raj Pope, nothing to show that General Porter
forget, in his attachment to his old commander,
the respect due to his then superior and to the
rules Of discipline. The object in bringing for
ward matter so puerile ID not to injure Porter,
for il can have no weight in the pending inqui-
~, but to damage Mcclellan, BY suggesting the
inference that the latter controlled unfairly the
actions of his former subordinates after they
had passed under anether's command. Fortu-
natsly there is evidence on record to show that
such influence as he did possess over them was
exercised exclusively for the good Of the coun-
try, and the dispatches to which the Tribune
refers will confirm, instead Of weaken, the gene
raj conviction Of the fact.
The New York herald., 1862-12-19

THE REroRrHD RErursE OF GEN. FosrsR IN
NORTH CARoLINA.-It is a common proverb that
misfortunes never come singly. 1t is reported
through rebel sources, by way Of Nashville, that
General Foster, on Saturday last, the day Of the
battle at Fredericksburg, attacked, with fifteen
thousand men and nine gunboats, the rebel
General Evans, at Kinston, N. c., strongly in
trenched, and the result was that after ten
hours hard fighting he was repulsed.
This was evidently one of the combinations
Of the War Bureau, intended to cut off the
communication of the rebels in their rear, while
Burnside assailed them in front. If we believe
the rebel despatch from General Evans, the
movement has failed. The object of this move
ment Of General Foster was apparently to cap
ture Goldsboro, in order to cut the coast rail-
road at that point, being junction where seve-
raj roads meet, and very important to be held.
Kinston, being on the way to Goldsboro, must
be passed, and there the enemy erected
his earthworks to stop Foster, and was
successful in doing 50. This is the second mis-
fortune in that region. The affair at Zuni, on
the railroad, near Suffolk, Virginia, in which
General Ferry was driven back from the Black
water, is fresh in the recollection of our
readers.
Now, these disasters have arisen not only
from mismanagement at Washington, but from
the conduct Of the radical journals, who falsely
announced that the expedition of General
Banks was destined to North Carolina, in order
to effect junction with the federal forces al
ready in that State, so as to march upon Peters
burg, and thence attack Richmond from the
south bank of the James, while Burnside was
keeping the rebels amused ct Fredericksburg.
The rebel authorities took the alarm and sent
forty thousand men to resist Banks. The result
was that Ferry and Foster have been repulsed;
whereas it is probable that, but for the mischie-
vous canard Of the radical press, these generals
would have had smaller force to contend
with, and, if they had not surprised the enemy,
would at least have whipped him, and accom-
plished the objects Of their expeditions. It is
hard to say whether the imbeciles at Washing
ton or the radical journals are doing the greater
injury to the army and the country.

enough of his other profession to see the danger
which Mcclellan SO earnestly and so eloquently
pointed out. Instead Of applying the proper
remedy, he made matters worse, and played
once more into the hands of the rebels by the
defeat Of another army, which was ultimately
saved from complete destruction, and with 1t
the capital Of the nation, by the man who has
been ostracised to q New Jersey village
jackson, in the Shenandoah valley, with q
comparatively small force, SO worked upon the
fears Of the authorities at Washington that he
paralyzsd $4,000 men-40,0O0 in front of the
capital and 10000 under Mcdowell. The willy
rebel general laid trap, and the War Depart
ment walked into IL. Mcdowell was sent to the
assistance of Fremont and Banks entirely too
late. The result was that Jackson appeared on
the battle feld of the Chickahominy, while
neither Fremont, Banks nor Mcdowell was
forthcoming. 1t was but a repetition of the first
battle Of Bull run.
Thus was Mcclellan sacrificed; and were
it not for his prudence and consummate
skill his whole army would have been
lost, and Jeff. Davis, in less than month
would have been in occupation of the White
House at Warrington. But had Mcdowell been
permitted to reinforce Mcclellan with. his whole
corps, what would have been the results Nc
Clellan solemnly swears 81 have no doubt
for 1t has ever been my opinion--that the Army
Of the Potomac would have taken Richmond
had not the corps of General Mcdowell been
separated from it. It is also my opinion that,
had the command Of General Mcdowell joined
the Army Of the Potomac in the month of May,
by way Of Hanover Court House from Frede-
ricksburg we would have had Richmond in q
week sfter the junction. do not hold General
Mcdowell responsible for failure to join with
