The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tmes says: ?. 1919 fj3.
1T . not improper now to say that Gen
eral MuClellan's plan Of the campaign Of the
peninsula was, when he had got into position
hsfors Yorktown, to hsve General Mellow
ell push across to the head of the peninsula
with So Goo men and cut of the rebel retreat
that has now taken placs. n this plan had
bsen carried out not 4 regiment Of all the

but the phn was changed At Washington
alter General Mcclellan got before Yorktown
and changed without his knowledge or con
sent: His enemies blame him now for let
ting the snemy sway, the very thing above
oil others. that McClellan's plan. il followed
would have saectually prevented" .,>,a., ~.
With regard to. the authenticity of the
slow We know nothing. Probably; the cor.
respondent sf the 7imfs knows about 4.
much about the matter ~ We do. which i.
not enough 70 bet On. The policy and feas-
ibility II the plan indicated by the foregoing
quotation. however, is perfectly apparent to
every one and with regard to tho imprope,
interference Of the Washington military
civilians, It was some time ago stated that Gen
Mcclellan had fled in tho office Of thu Score
tary Of War, = protest particularly setting
forth the particular items which he protested
sgainst. 10 that If hs should be unsuccessful
and his failure should b owing to such in
reference. tho blama might rest where it
belongs. In his official report Of tho evac
uaticn however, he says nothing to indicate
that things are working contrary to his hopes
or expectations. He speaks with tho utmos,
confidence Ct being able to ''drive the enemy
to the WALL" and all his preparations indi.
cate that he was expecting them to leave. So,
although it appears to US that it would have
been good warfare to have gotten a force in
the rear Of the enemy as rapidly as possible
yet it may not have been any part Of the or.
isinal design. II it was not, and things arc
working in their contemplated order, we yet
have confidence to believe it will come out
all right. But ws.confess we can see but
little advantage to be gained by the capture
Of Richmond unlsss the army is broken cap,
tured' o. dispersed, Notwithstanding some
Of our exchanges seem to be jubilent over
the prospect Of the speedy unobstructed
march of our army to Richmond.

The Pittsburgh Landing correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press gives the follow

General Grants army was surprised on the

and used it to their great advantage. They
bulchered some Of our pickets with their
fearful hooking Mississippi knives, the gag

within their lines.
They exchanged uniforms with those
whom they killed, performed mimic guard

A letter from Europe gives the following
account Of tho Olandestine marriage Of the
Prince Of Wales, several months ago, 70 a
fair subject Of the Emerald Isle:
The enthraller Of the Princes heart and
recipient Of bis troth is beautiful young
HiberDiau lady which be met and fell in
love with during the period Of military
training at the Curragh Of Kildare in Ire
land, whore his Royal Highness had appro-
priated 10 him, little removed from tho
main line Of tents which formed the en-
campmeut, neat hut with pretty little
garden attached to il. Though he had
everything to mako him comfortable there,
during the idle days and long evenings, no
sometimes cantered of TO see some Of tho
Heading gentry Of Kildare, whose demesnes
fringe the great plain on which the Prince
was stationed. To ono Of those houses in
particular, and which was inhabited by a
family Of ancient aud almost historic stand
ling, his horses head was oftenest turned
and his visits became so frequent that they
ceased TO be formal.
Nothing was suspected by the Prince:
mentors, until ono afternoon two young Ia
dies galioped over the green sward, pulling
up in front Of the Princes hut, and tho alac
lrity with which he came out TO meet them
and his particular manner to the youngcl
one, attracted the attention Of an officer in
high rank who happened at the moment tc
be calling on the Prince, and who, being a
veteran in love as we'll as in war, faneied he
saw something moro than the mere polit
euess of a young Prince to ayoung lady
The visits were repeated, and they were al
so seen riding about tho country. How

slavery VS.. enc Union.

Parson Brownlow, always intensely pro-
slavery, in bis recent speech at Columbus
said
"Loyal men 10 all the Southern States
ought to be protected in the enjoyment Of
all their property, personal and real, inclu-
ding negroes. But the negroes Of the dis
loyal Rebels, as well as all their other prop
erty, should be coniscated and taken from
them. And while l now hold the princip
les l have always held, yet if the South
and l will go South and tell the people
there the Same thing-if the South will be
mad enough to press this issue Of slavery,
and will make the issue a final one--that
they must have slavery even if it be neces-
sary TO sacrifice the Union--if the question
become Union without slavery, or slavery
without the Union, l say exterminate every
slave. Let US have the old Union-the
glorious Union, with the Stars and Stripes
the Union organized and handed down
TO US by our fathers. Though every other
institution perish, North and South, let u;
stand by the Union. and preserve its hallow

The Paris correspondent Of the Baltimore American
writes follows:
However unsatisfactory the dispatches
may be, all doubt as to the state Of affairs

subsequently, when the regular mails reach
their destination. The conviction that the

ed and the Union To be restored in all its
original integrity, is 10 longer general 10

of tho Secession agents cease attempting to
bolster up this iniquities conspiracy, and
simply express the hope that the war may
soon como to an end. Many French states

plausible argumentof rebel emissaries, were
long disposed to countenance an official rec
ognition of the South. Late events have
