goes, and If any battle takes place, they, having
. more perfect knowledge Of the country than
the troops from the cotton States, generally act

Whenever the rebels retreat, they retire from
the ranks, don their home uniforms, and when
our soldiers in pursuit pass their places, they
find these soldiers of yesterday plouehing un-

verify, are based upon a full historical state
ment of the circumstances of the occupation,
defense, and final giving up Of the post.
1t is the facts and not the commission, that
fix the dishonor upon the living and the dead.
Had not Col Miles been diSgracefully unfit
tor his command, Maryland flights would
have been fortified and rendered easily i'm
pregnable against any force of the enemy.
Had Col. Ford defended the Nights, after he
was assigned to the post, with decent ap-
pesrance of courage, it was still in his power
to have held his position until reinforcements
arrived. Had Gen. Mcclellan marched to
the relief of the besieged with decent activity,
after he was informed of their danger, the en-
envy would have been compelled to raise the
siege, the position would have been held, the
divided rebel army would have been exposed
to attack from the united army of the Poto-
mac, and might have been routed and beaten
in detail. The Interior consequences of thus
saving this position, cannot be estimated
The rebel invasion of Maryland would have
been properly avenged. The battle of Antie-
tam, with the loss of eight or ten thousand
strong men to our side, would not have been
needed, and we should not now have had
to record the apparently successful escape of
the entire rebel army in Virginia, which the
country is to-day contemplating with unal-
Logged chagrin.

THE PRESIDENT DEMONSTRATES.

NHToh the new 1OrE Times
IL Is stated to lis that president Lincoln has
on two occasions written to Gen. Mcclellan.
reviewing in detail his military operations,
and demonstrating his failures to respond to
the wishes and just expectations Of the gov
eminent. One of these papers was prepared
just after Mcclellan had landed on the PENN
Sula, the other after the battle of Antietam;
and we have heard both spoken Of as master
pieces OF military criticism. 1t is a meian-
choly satisfaction to learn that tie president
OF the United States, who is the commander
In-chiet OF all its armies, and who is response
Die, before God and the country, for the beha-
vlor OF all its generals, did not keep General
Mcclellan in command Of the army of the Po-
toIhac from any confidence in his capacity or
fitness for the place. Why he did retain him
so long after he had satisfied himself that he
ought to be removed, it might be curious,
though it would be useless to speculate. Wa
trust that the first act of congress. when if
meets next month, will be to call for all the
correspondence, and all the documents of ev-
cry Kind, which can throw light on the extra
ordinary campaigns Of this unfortunate COM
mander.

The military commission appointed to in.

Quoted the defence without ability, and
showed throughout such lack of military ca
p"city as to disqualify him for a command in
the service;' Gen. Wool, for placing such an
incapable man as Col. Miles in command. as
beng guilty to this extent of a grave disas-
ter and should be censured for his conduct -
and Gen. Mcclellan of whom the report
speaks as tollows:-
The commission has remarked freely nm
Col Miles, an officer who has been killed in
tue service Of his country, and il narnot
from any motives of deicacy refrain from
censuring those in high command. when !,
thinks such censure deserved. The general.
in-chief has testified that Gen. Mcclellan az.
ter having received orders to repc the enemy
invading the state of Maryland marched
only six miles per day, on an average, when
pursuing the invading enemy. The general
in-ehief also testiies, that in his opinion Gen
Mcclellan could and should have relieved and

the commission fully concur"

GEN. ALFRED PLEAsANToN, whose name
often occurs in the dispatches from Virginia,
is doing brilliant work down the valley. He
seems to be the first cavalry officer who has
fathomed the tactics of the rebel Stuart, and
punished him for his audacious raids within
our lines. He is a native of the District of
Columbia, forty years of age, by profession a
soldier, and believes in hurting somebody
if he must fight
