This defect has been attributed to our enor.

The Bosrox DAILY ADVERTISER, noticin

The BosToN DAILY ADVERTISER, noticing
q statement in the New YORK Evening Post
that Gen. McClellan's plans "wi!l not be in
terfered with" makes the following state
ment ut is no doubt untrue that McClel.
lan's plan will be interfered with for the
plain reason that they have already been inter.
fered with, not to say destroyed-a fact which,
we apprehend, no member of the cabinet
would undertake to gainsay."
This statement is positively contradicted on
the authority of a member of the cabinet"
and, certainly, there is no warrant for it be-
Washington reporters for New York papers.
Some of these Washington reporters are very
inscriptions. Mr.. Stanton has put more re-
straint on their intercourse with the army and
with his department than they like, and they
do not hot hesitate TO contrive ialsehoods
against him. The correspondent of the Eve
ming Post, as ii anticipating the Advertisers
criticism on his dispatch by telegraph, writes
to the Post rs follows:-
The statement made in several journals,
that the president has interfered with Gen.
McClelan's plans, thus risking disaster to suit
the political prejudices OF class of men, am
authorized, by high authority, TO pronounce
entirely false. The president has granted ev.
cry reasonable request of his departmental
commanders. No plans of Gen. McClellan's
have been broken up by interference of the
president, and Gen, Mcclellan will be the first
man to deny these charges if they present
themselves in an authoritative shape"
