THE Blow TO PUBLIC CREDr.-The financial
credit OF the country has received . shock from
the disasters to McClellan's army from which it
will not easily recover. Previous to his being
driven back from his position before Richmond
government stocks we're at an unexampled
premium, and the credit of the country never
stood so high. Within week all this has been
changed, and now government stocks exhibit
more unsteadiness than any other class Of pub
lie securities. Who is responsible for this state
OF things! Not Mcclellan, who, in his misfor-
tunes as in his successes, has displayed all the
qualities of an able general but the radicals,
who weakened his command by taking Banks
and McDowelis divisions from him, and then
prevented his being reinforced, although they
knew that he was in . position of the most
pressing danger These are the traitors who
would destroy the integrity Of the republic,
ruin the fair edifcc Of our financial credit, and
plunge the country into hopeless cmbarrass-
ments, to place the negro in position in which
he would be of no earthly use to himself or
others. Thus far they have been successful in
their intrigues. Let them look out, however,
for the retribution that is to follow them. The
country is losing patience and it will not be
long before they feel tho full effects ofthc wrath
which they have 80 industriously provoked.

10 be extravagant This Is, at all events, the
best excuse that caa be made for the depart
ment, in view of tho fact that, at any time
within the last month or two, ffty or hum
dred thousand troops might have been drawn
from other quarters to the support of Nc
Clellan without depriving any essential point
Of occupation of its protecting military force.
In tho failure OF this great and all important
enterprise we have lost the labors of cam
paign, and to repair this loss aud to clear the
rebels out Of Virginia will require an addi-
tional budget of many millions to our national
debt. The President cannot fail now to see
where the responsibility belongs A very sig
nifcant feeling Of indignation Is beginning to
develop itself in the public mind upon this
subject, and directly against the Cabinet, as at
present constituted. Let the President look to
his Cabinet, and to its Redistribution as q
working unit with himself in ia prosecution Of
this war for "ths inte9fsly = the Union" and
not for the extirpation Of slavery, and all yet
may be saved. Let him neglect this essential
duty at this momentoas crisis, and we may 90
on from bad to worse, until all i lost
We can assure the President that the people
of our loyal States arc h1eOming terribly in
earnest upon this point, jaAging from their
latest manifestations in th&s metropolis; and
the time has come when no considerations Of
personal character should stand in tho way Of
the paramount object Of united government
and people in the great work Of supprcssing
this rebellion.

SPLENDID GENERALsHIP OF McCLEILAN.-Un-
der the circumstances in which General Nc
Clellan found himself at the commencement Of
the great seven days. battle in front Of Rich
mond, bis retreat upon the James river and
the gunboats, BY which he saved the army from
utter destruction, saved Washington and saved
the country, is one of the most mastery mill
tary movements on record. With an ordinary
general the forces Of the Union would have
been cut to pieces before the fierce onset Of
such vastly superior numbers. But the cool
ness, skill aud indomitable fortitude Of McClel-
Ian have preserved them for future victories,
when they shall be sufficiently reinforced, to
return to the assault upon Richmond, capture
it, and carry their arms triumphantly into the
very heart Of the cotton States. Even his
most bitter enemies admit that he hos played
the part CT q sagacious and good general in
the late battle-the very men whose clamors
and intrigues prevented his success by depriv-
ing him Of the reinforcements necessary to the
work he had undertaken.
