EG~A correspondent, in mentioning
the difference between Generals Burn
side and Mcclellan, gives the following;
II cannot close this short letter with
out speaking of point of difference be-
tween Generals Burnside and Mcclellan
that even the private soldiers notice and
talk Of When we made the slow marches
and tardy advances under the old regime,
the Commanding Generals headquarters
were always from six to ten miles in the
rear
"All is changed now Gen. Burnside
leads the van. His headquarters are
among the most advanced Cat present
they are not half mile from where
write) He sends his men nowhere that
he dare not himself go with them. Not
that l suppose he will needlessl y expose
himself He is too good an officer for
that But he is ever with the advance.
He watered his horse in the Rappahan-
mock on the l9th-the first man to reach
the river Had the enemy's pickets-
not a stones throw from him Oh the fur
ther shore-known who the large man
ia the slouched hat was, they ight have
tried a shot at him. OF course he knew
this, but doubtless relied on the probable
fact that they had become so accustomed
to a Union Commanding General who
kept beyond long range cannon-shot,
they never imagined for moment that
the leader of our armies would put him
self within reach of a smooth-bore mus
ket He was safe enough, no doubt.
