GEN. WADswoRTH who was in com
mand at Washington last summer an
who was not elected Governor OF the
State of New York la { fall, has made
the following confession touching the
matter and manner in which Gen. Me-
Clellan was prevented carving ont bis
plans on the peninsula by the intarier-
let Mcdowell move forward with his
thirty thousand men. In relation 10 the
detachment OF Mcdowell from McClcl.
lan's command, be says:
II was matter OF surprise to me, rs
it was 10 him, and when lie Was sent
from Fredericksburg TO Front Royal
and not on TO Richmond, ms had been
intende |, went to the President, in Vi.
olat'on of all military etiquette, and pro
tested against it.
We presume nobody will question the
Generals seracitv. The reason WHY Nc.
Cle!lan did not take Richmond was be-
cause the ambitious powers at Washing.
ton We're unwilling that lie thoall reap
any such harvest OF glory. They knew
very well that the rebel capital vas IN
his grasp, so At the very mex OF time,
when Mcdowell should have moved rap
idly forward, be is instructed by the
President himself not to GO TO the as
sistance oil the man body lot TO fall
back into the monBtaius. No wonder
that the commander az Washington
threw aside miltary etiqnette aul To-
monstrattd with the President. Rib
mond was tot.el.a-, lle rebei army rrar-
y overcome, and our battle worn troops
dripping with blood wanted only the a..
sisiance Of the fresh warriors urder NJ.
Dowel 10 have dealt tic rebellion n
blew IRON which it would have been
dead and In The grave ere this. Oh there
j IN that one act enough sin aud iniauity
to condemn throughout all time the
present administration. That act cost
twenty thousand men at the second
Bun Run; it cost thirty thousand more
at Aut'etam and llarpers Ferry; fifteen
thousand more al the FIRST battle Of Fred
erlcksburg and twenty five thousand
more at the second battle. How many
more II will cost before Tie rebel capital
Is taken remains 10 be seen.

THE AGE MAN.

Few men die Of age. Almost all per.

passions kill men sometimes even sui

in it, for even though not suddenly fat

bodied men often die young-wcak
men live longer than the strong for the
strong use their strength, and The weak
have none to use. The latter take .:arc
Of themselves the former do not. Az it
is with the bo4y, SO it is with the mind
and temper.-The strong are apt to
break, or like the candle, run; the weak
burn out The inferior animals which
live temperate lives, have generally
their prescribed term Of years.-The
horse lives twenty-five years; the OK
fifteen or twenty; the lion about twenty:
the hog ten or twelve the rabbit eight;
the Guinea pig six or seven. The mum
bers all bear proprtion to the time the
animal takes to grow to its full size.
But man, Of all animals, is the one that

to the report that DR.. Winship, our
