Jntioe to Ger. mcclellan.

There can be no louSer any question but
what Gen. Mcclellan is Military Chief Of
commanding ability, yet he has been de.
nounced throughout the country, by the en-
tire Abolition press, as m imbecile and in
competent officer. aud in every conceivable
way they have used their utmost erdeavors
to lower him in the confidence Of his troops
lie took up his line of march, from Wash
ington, leaving these v;llifiers and michiev-
Gus enemies in his rear, who after doing
every thing in their power to impede his
progress and prevent him from accomplish
ing his design. now that he has met with
some reverses, they labor assiduously to con-
vince the country that lie has been defeated,
that she is 10 General and that he ought
to be superseded. If the truth must
be told they have said this from the
very moment they discovered that he
wss not an Abolitionist. We defy the
world to produce parallel to the frmness,
fortitude, nerve and iro1-hcar;ed pluck
exhibited by the troops under him, on
the blood stained fields of Virginia, in
those terrible days Of faintuess, exhaustion
and overburdeHei energy. It IS q well
known fact, that the Confederates had mar
shalled the flower Of their army fora mighty
and desperate effort; all Of their distinguish
ed Generals and tried soldiers were there.
BeaureEard, Smith, Lee, johnson, Price,
Stonewall Jackson and led their divisions
in person. For the benefi. Of those who h ave
made it their business to speak sneeringIy |
of, or in condemnation of Gen. Mcclellan,
we publish the following letter to The Phila-
delrh Press, from its correspondent Coca
sioual." which is well known to be Fornoy
himself:
WAsHINGToS, July (, 1862.
If General Mcclellan IS able to hold his |!
new position after his wonderful battles, |
running, with various success, through five /
long and bloody days, the cup Of his glory !
will be full. But, whether he holds it or |
not, there can no longer be any question |
that he is military chief OF great and com |
manding ability, and that a maze of unpar-
alleled complications. and against fanatic
and fierce autagonism, he has exhibited
patience, perseverance, genius and courage. /
say this much, not by way of praise. but |
so many great trusts have been reposed, and |
who has not disappointed public confidence |
1t may be said that in a. least two of nv |
former letters ! expressed a different opin- |
iop. And 1t gives me as much pleasure to
retract that judgment as It gave me pain to
record 1t. 1t is unnecessary to recall the
disputes that have excited politicians and
parties on this subject. Enough for the
present, that many who were early and de-
erminately against Gen. Mcclellan, have
been frank and earnest in revising their crit
cisms, and in recan5n9 their ceusure. As
evidence in proof, among a number that
night be cited, the testim ony OF the fearless
correspondent Of the New York Tribune, 4 7
t the head Of the column of General Nc
llellan, may be named. That gifted gem /
leman, after realizing the ouerous respon- c
Utilities and yexatious Of Gen. Mcclellan, :
Ook the first opportunity to DO him ample
ustice in the most public manner. Thou
ands Of others will re-echo the deserved
nd manly tribute to q gallant and long
differing soldier. OCCASIONAL. ,
