Give Credit Where it Belongs.

The Washington correspondent Of the Spring
field Republican,, writing in reference to she
claim now set up that the victories Of the last
two weeks are the results Of the wonderful STRAIT
epy Of Gen. Mcclellan, aud the fruits u the
long delays that 80 dishearcned the Nation,
says
There Is something Of a dispute going 90 be
tween the friends and enemies Of ten. McCIei
Ian here His friends give hln all the credit
for the late victories in Virginia and Tennessee
The enemies Of Gen. Mcclellan say that be was
opposed to the Burnside expedition. and to any
forward movement in keutuey and tennessee
till the middle Of March. Perhaps the Truth
hes midway between the extremists IN TINS
matter IL IS fact tina, Gen. Mcclellan was
opposed to the Burnside expedition and 1t was
owlug entirely to the determined energy Of Sec
retary Wellcs and President Lincoln that the
expedition sailed Your correspondent haoW5
this to he a fact It is probably true thar Gen.
Mcclellan was opposed to an ma0tedi0ie advance
on Forts Henry and Doncison, though the plan
now beng acted upon met with his entire APP
proyal. Gen SCOTS friends claim that he lald
out the work now being cXecetcd IN Tennessee,
but it is an lndsputbe TACT that Gen Fremont
last September suggested it 10 a long and able
letter to the president, which document yes
terdly had the pleasure OF reading
The same writer also alludcs to the Prosi-
dents despatch to Gen Lander,-to which we
haye heretofore called attention ,--anl says
The complimentary letter Of the president to
Gen. Lander j. noticed here as containing an
implied ccnsure Ut some OF the generals On the
Potomac. The following passage is the one re-
!crrcd to - You have shown how much may
be done III the worst weather and worst roads
by spirited officer at the head OF a small force
Of brave men, unwilling to waste life in camp
nsI,ea the enemies Of their country are within
Feach Stanton wfOte the despatch, rs he says,
- by order Of the President but it Is easy to
perceive that the language Is the Secretary $.
Perhaps no rebuke was meant, but II not, =
language was unfortunately chosen, for the ga
liant brlgadiers and colonies connected with our
Potomac armv. who occasionally patronize
Washington hotels, take it as censure upon
themselves and their leader. Mr.. Stanton was
visited the other evening by two brgadicr
who venturel to ask little respecting The ia.
ture. flis reply was, - Gentlemen, there is bu
one thing before you, and before US all-c
mat fgh '' Already the inspiring energy
of the Secretary Is making itself ielt IN th'
army Tic soldiers call hun "a game cock,
" Gully boy, and such other rough and hmi
liar nieknames as pass current among the raul

and bruins combined. lis sale % say that a
