The TRUTH OF HISToRY-We think
the Hartford Courant runs no ri.k in ma
king the following statement
We think that history will reveal the
facts that at the time Mcclellan was
charged with dereliction in not sending for
ward troops to the aid Of General Pope,
he had virtually been stripped of all his
troops, even to his body guard, and that
he himself was asking for the privilege of
going himself, in almost any capacity
that while tho President was led to be-
lieve from Popc's dispatches that all was
going we'll, Mcclellan was assured that
all was not well, and that when the Presi-
dent learnt of the disgraceful retreat of
our army to Centervlle, he called upon
Mcclellan to take command and save the
army.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Traveller, who has been strongly
anti. Nc ClOllan, says in his letter of Thurs
day: "To day, Mcclellan is rising man.
The soldiers new and Old adore him.
| cannot account for it, but such is the
fact. l reveal no important secret when
state that the Government was compell.
ed to reinstato Mcclellan by the violent
feelings in his favor among the troops
He rode out among the troops yesterl ny.
and they went wild with enthusiasm at the
bare sight of him. What is the secret oi
this feeling in his favor? Who can tell
Under the circumstances, can any one
ccnsuro the President for the course he
has taken?'
The Washington correspondent Of thc
New York Express, speaking of Goa. Nc
Clellan's high popularity among lis sol
ders, says;
On Saturday last, when Mcclellan was
at Alexandria with his body guard of less
then enc hundred men--all the rest had
been ordered to join Pope, and he there
listening to the sound Of cannon, knowing
that his fine troops were being sacrificed
and he not allowed even TO be present-hC
tc,egraphcd to the War Department
again and again for permission to
60 to the battle field even
without command, and only as an
amateur, thinking that bis presence might
cheer his own troops, and at any ratio could
do no harm, but he was refused and alb
solu'cly forbidden
he New York UeroW says that "a
perfect accord now exists between McClel
Ian and the President and the Cabinet,
and all that is asked by Gen Mcclellan
is that he shall be allowed to carry out
his present purposes. Mcclellan said Oh
Thursday he had no quarrel with any one
lie desired to let the past be passed.
We have enough to do to fight the common
enemy, and all he asked was to be let alone
and he would put down the rcbelliou.'

Curtin in a New Character.

Our excentric and yedOubta6Ie Gov
ernor seems to be determined to ex-
haust the subject by appearing in all
sorts of costumes, metaphorically speaking
for it is not known that he donned the
hoops; but his last appearance is either
the Mad Boy in the "Alchemist" or the
Fish Woma'a in some forgotten play
Certainly his speech has neither dignity,
politeness nor decency. Time would have
vindicated him from the charge if false,
and it remains to be seen if wrong motives
were imputed to him.
A dispatch from Harrisburg states that
Governor Curtin, on Wednesday week
addressed the Pottstown Guards, of Mont
gomery county, commanded by Capt
John Henry Hobart. In the course of
his remarks he said that any person who
came TO Capitol Hill, and endeavored to
createthe impression among the soldiers
that improper motives had prompted the
cah for the troops "a report having been
circulated that it had been issued for po-
lidcal purposes was liar, traitor and
a coward lie had called them out for
State defence, and when the present emer-
gsney was over he would Gend them home.

Patriot anil Union, remarks -
We call attention TO the very able and
lucid address of Chas. r. Buckaew, pub
lshed in to. days paper. At any time
an address on public affairs from this dis
tinguished, clearheaded statesman would
command the respectful consideration OF
his fellow citizens, who, without distin-
ction of party, appreciate his rare ability,
solidity of judgment, and honesty of pur-
pose. AT this particular time his opinions
on the great questionc of the day, are of

be attentively read and considered by all
who have the interests OF the country at
