a. Little knowledge. .

The Post, true to its habits, when hard
pushed, drops argument, and meets our expo
sure of the absurdity of its structures upon
General Mcclellan for transferring his army
from the Potomac to the Peninsula by poor
attempt at a sneer. 1t csrps at our use of the
term strategic increment in connection with the
late operations on the Chickahominy-saying
in its smart way that tive had illways sup
posed that wher armies were in The presence
Of each other engaged in actual fighting, their
movements were regulated by what is called
tactics" Now we used the phrase strategic
movement" because it expressed precisely
what we meant to say. The falling back upon
the james river was strategic, not tactical.
1t was not prompted by the battle at all,
but made in accordance with previously ma
tured strategic plan, and would have been ex-
ecuted had no battle taken place If the Post
will refer to Jomini, or any other elementary
writer on war, it will find that tactics is the
art of well disposing of lines of battle, while
strategy is the art of settling the base and d.
rection of operations in campaign. It was
precisely this last art which Mcclellan followed
in transferring his base from the Pamunky to
the james river If it was not deliberate
strategic movement, but simply make-shift
forced upon him by the exigencies of battle,
it must be regarded as misfortune instead of
an advantage The movement Soas strategic.
Though the censor of Mcclellan don't so I'M
derstand it, the General will survive.-N. Y.

Senator Wade had an earnest debate on tie
Steubenville Railroad bridge bill with Penn
sylvania Senators who opposed T.
Nothing could be done but aojourl.
In the House, Hunters letter on the negro
regiments, stirred Up highly exciting debate.
Gov. Wickliffe and Thaddehs Stevens were
thechief speakers. Wieklife denounced Hun
ter, and inYeighed against the savageness Of
negro warfare. Stevens avowed himself for
immediate arming and diseiphning at least a
hundred thousand negroes. He would put
them in the front Of the battle, aud he wanted
no more of his kindred countrymen called to
lay down their lives in this war until the rebels
have been stripped Of their sinews Of war.
General Hunter had done that which, if
this Administration rebuked him for doing,
they would deserve to be driven from power.
Stevens speech was an intensely radical and
resolute one. 1t excited Mallory to an in
tensely high degree, who declared among
other things that Secretary Stanton had told
him that be would have nothing to do with
arming the negroes, and had ordered the ar
rest Of any officer who asked leave to RAISE q
regiment of contrabands. Richardson, OF
Illinois demanded why taen was not Hunter

ONO CONVENTION.

We call the readers attention to the finale
Of the Cincinnati ConsD,erciaEs report of the
Democratic convention of Ohio, which we
print on our first page. The prior action and
resolutions of the meeting appeared in our

lively report of very dull and foolish affair,
an affair as disgraceful to true democracy, as
it is certain to prove detrimental to the inter.
ests Of that once great party, which secession

The London Herald maintains it is time for

The proceedings in Parliament were unim-

The Herald says it is impossible to account
for the inactivity of NLcClellan's army. That
since Fair Oaks asd Beauregard's reinforcing
the rebels, Mcclellan may ind himself out
numbered and likely to meet disaster, which
may change the whole aspect of the war; for
a reverse to Mcclellan involves the ruin of his
army and the hopes of the Federal Govern
ment.
