ANOTHER CALUMNY RErRACTED.-Some
of our noisiest patriots have seemed to think
that the best service they could do the coun.
try was to destroy public confidence in our
military leaders, and they have had very slight
regard to truth in this effort. Perhaps no
one thing has been so much harped upon as
the alleged protection Of rebel property By
Gen. Mcclellan. Exactly how much founda.
ton there has been for this clamor is now
confessed by a correspondent of the New
York 1fjbane who declares himself thor.
ough radical aud says he has been with the
army OF the Retomac for nearly year. and
now says frankly:
" The protection Of the property Of the residents on
this peninsula whatever might be their sentiments has
been an exception and not a rule. II has never been
done in single instance with the idea simply Of pfo-
teoilng rebe OF his family aud property but only and
IN every case from some local which have known
and which myself 'ica abolitionst as there is
North or SOUTH would have done under the circumst4n

gave them food, bound up their wounds and gave them
rest on beds which the family itself without for the

ONE WAY TO REoRuIr.-At a recruiting

Of the speakers had been urging the men to
sign the roll, and told the women to hurry

A collision occurred on the Potomac rive

steamers Peabody and West Point, involving
the loss of 70 lives. The West Point wa,

convalescent troops of Gen. Burnsides army
She sank in ten minutes after the accident.
From Lieut.. Col. Charles Scott, who was
on board the Inflated vessel, and in charge OF
the troops, hlT5 obtained the following &C.
count Of the affair. We left Newport News,
on Tuesday, the llth, with 254 soldiers,
four officers, three ladies and one child
At Fortress Monroe we took seventeen
men, making in all 279 persons.
On Wednesday evening, off Ragged Point,
on the Potomac, we were startled by shock
and soon discovered that collision had
taken place between our steamer named Geo.
Peabody, bound down the river. The West
Point began to leak very fast, and it was as
certained that she would sink il less than
ten minutea. The Peabody, which had been
partially disabled, could render no assistance,
except with small boats. OF all, 203 persons
were rescued. The West Point went down
IN four iathoms water, about a mile and a
half from the Maryland shore, and nothing
can now be seen of her but the smoke stack
masts aud some wrenched up planks on her
decks All her crew were saved except one
fireman. Up to ten o'clock, two bodies, not
identified, have been recovered and buried. -
