Retrospection.

An old man sat by the cottage fire,
And he watched the children play:
And tear stole down his aged cheek,
But he wiped it not away;
For his thoughts had wandered back again
To the scenes of other years,
And the spirit had found glad relief
In the falling of his tears.
Again he played on the dear old hearth,
And he heard mothers voice,
And the gentle tones fell on his ears: -;
And they made his heart rejoice;
Again he joined in the blind mans buff,
And the game of hide and seek,
And he heard his little sisters voice,
So gentle soft and meek.
Then in the shade by the woodland dell,
He sat with his picture book,
Or wandered to seek some wild birds nest
That hung DER the ripping brook,
Till tired and weary of boyhoods play,
He turned to his home again,
By the rustic stile and the broken bridge.
And the shady old green lane.
And thus the old man sat and unused,
And the tears fell down his cheek,
And happier hour it was to him
Than the old mans tongue could speak
Yet he knew twas but pleasant dream
That too soon had passed Ger
That his eyes were dim and his locks were gre
And he should be young no more.

Its importance is so great that we
transmit it in full:
THE PRESIDENT TO GEN. MCCLELLAN.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9, 1868.
Major General Mcclellan: rE
My DEAR SIR:-Your dispatches
complaing that you are not properly
sustained, while they do not. often d
pain me very much. Blenker's division
was Withdrawn from You before you
left here. You know the pressure un-
der which l did it, and as l thought ac-
Quiesced in it, certainly not without
reluctance.
After you left, / ascertained that less
than 10000 unorganized men, without
a single field battery, were all you de-
signed to be left for the defense of
| Washington and Manassas Junction.
\ part of them were TO 90 to Hooker's
old position. Banks corps which was
designed for Manassas Junction, was
divided and tied up on the line to Win
chester aud Strasburg, and could not
leave it without again exposing the up
per Potomac aud the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad line.
This presented, or would present
when Mcdowell and Sumner should be
gone, a great temptation for the enemy
to turn back from the Rappahannock
and sack Washington. My explicit
direction that Washington should, in
the judgment of all comm anders of
corps, be left entirely secure, had been
entirely neglected. hie =
1t is precisely this that caused me
to detain Mcdowell. .aa4a rqs
do not forget that l was satisfied
with your arrangement to leave Banks
at Manassas Junction, but when tha
arrangement was broken up, and moth
, ING even substituted for it, of course,
was not satisfied. l was constrained
to retain something for it myself, and
now allow me to ask, do you think l
should permit the line from Richmond
via Manassas to this city to be entirely
open, except what resistance would be
presented by less than 20,0O0 unorgan-
ized troops? This is a question which
the country will not allow me to evade.
There is curions mystery cOnnec-
ted with the number of troops now
with you. telegraphed you on the
9th, saying that you had 100000 men
with you. l had just obtained from
the Secretary of War statement, TAX
en- as he said from your own returns,
making los, 900 then with you and ell
route to you. Now you say you have
but 81, 900 when all en- route to you
shall have reached you. How can this
discrepancy of $4,000 be accounted
for? As to Wool's command, un-
derstand it is doing for you precisely
what like number of your own would
have to do if the command was away.
| suppose the whole force which has
gone forward to you is with you by this
time, and if so, think it is the precise
time for you to strike blow. BY de-
lay the enemy will readily gain on you.
That is, he will gain faster by fortifca-
tions and reinforcements than you can
, byreiDforcements alone. And once more
let me tell you it is Indispensable to you
. that you strike blow. sf - 81
I am powerless to help you. You
will do me the justice to remember that
Il always wished you were not going
