mcCLELLAN,s REPORT.

General Mcclellan, in the report which we
print this morning, argues his own case to the
public in advance OF the Congressional report
on the Conduct Of the War, which is expected
to sum up all the evidence. This report covers
the operations from the evacuation Of Harri-
sons Landing to the battle of Antietam. Just
as a strong argument, however, against o
criminal by a prosecuting attorney is often less
damaging to him with the jury than a weak
defense BY his own counsel 80 this elaborate
argument in his own behalf by Gen. Mcclellan
is quite sufficient to insure his conviction with
out any further hearing. Yet since this ia the
best--indeed the only-plea which the defend
ant has to Offer it's publication ia all that the
friends of Gen. Mcclellan could ask, and all
which in the most cOnsiderate tenderness for
his former reputation it was possible to allow
him.
1t is hardly worth while to review sdch n
performance at length. Its errors, suppress.
sions, Inconsistencies, misstatements, aud per-
versions, will be sufficiently explained and cor
rected by the Congressional report. We Sc
lect few specimens TO show the general
character of the whole.
Notice, for instance, its utter disDgenuous-
ness, of which the first paragraph offers an
example. Concerning the evacuation of Har-
rison's Landing Gen. Mcclellan remarks with
the utmost complacence that it was executed
successfully with entire safety to bis command
and material between the 14th and 10Th Of Au-
gust. But be wholly conceals the disgraceful
fact that he did not begin this movement till
elsren days after he received the order to make
it, and that bis insubordnate delay was Que of
the principal causes of the subsequent disasters
in Virginia. "Had the Army of the Poto
mac" says Gen. Halleck, CARVED few days
earlier the Rebel army could have been easily
defeated, and perhaps destroyed" On that
point Gen. Mcclellan has no explanation to
offer, and his silence must be taken as a con-
fesson Of guilt.
Gen. Mcclellan undertakes to relieve himself
of the responsibility for the surrender OF Har-
per's Ferry, but has nothing to urge which
the report of the Military Commission on that
browning disgrace of his campaigns has not
long since refuted. He left Washington on
the 9TH, charged with the duty Of expelling
tho Rebel forces from Maryland and relieving
the garrison at Harper's Ferry. That post
was not surrendered till the 18th, aud Gen.
Mcclellan had meantime been marching to its
relief by a circuitous route at the rate of
rather less than six miles q day. No doubt
Col. Miles surrendered without excuse, and there.
fore divides the Disgrace with Gen. Mcclellan;
but IL still remains true that, if the latter had
moved with ordinary rapidity, his forces would
have reached Harper's Ferry long before the
time when II capitulated. His elaborate OK

OUR NAVAL ORDNANCE.

That there is radical aud enormous wrong
soms,ohsre in the control and management Of
our Naval service, is too plain to be argued.

American Navy than the whole previous eighty
six years of our existence as People. The

THE POLES AND TIKI PATRI-
AROMA

Since the time when Tom Campbell, having
written the oft-quoted, oft-spouted line
"And Fresdom shieked ss Koscu,ko fell"
felt bound to attend all Polish dinners in Lon
don, in his sprucest blue coat and wig, the
poor Poles have been the pets Of the British
Lion who, beside entertaining other honorable
guests, has munifcenty fed q great number whose
names end in "ski." Mr.. Bull has undoubtedly
been honest in this. Mr.. Bull ia for Freedom
and the Balance of Power! Mr.. Bull can
never forgive himself for having been upon
such intimate terms with the Russian Bear
in 1914. Mr.. Bull has since had pitched
fight with the Bear, and tho fact that
no won no particular laurels therein, and
no advantage except in getting rid of
n number Of senile Generals, has not
contributed to improve Mr.. Bulls temper in
the premises 1t is really astonishing to no.
tice how warmly Mr.. Bull just now sympa-
thizes with the Poles. The Times, albeit not
given to the melting mood, is quite maudlin
upon the point, and expresses "sorrow and
anger at the sufferngs of an unfortunate ma
ton." Now, nobody can like the treatment to
which Poland has been subjected ls" than we
do; nobody can more heartily wish the in'ur-
gents success; and nobody can have a lower
opinion Of English sympathy. There Is some.

MANS sNHUmANITY TO MAN.

A friend called two days since to seek coun-
eel as to his course under these circumstances;
lie is one of firm engaged in hiring at Cairo
fugitives from Rebel Slavery and employing
them in the only industry with which they
are familiar-Cotton-gr some point in
the loyal States. They had intended to locate
in Missouri, but the U. s. Military authorities
at Cairo reasonably objected that Missouri was
a Slave State, and such location might expose
the fugitives to being reduced again to Slavery
in fact, might possibly be intended to do 30.
They were thus restricted to the area of the
Free States, whereof nero fraction will
grow Cotton at all. They procured tract,
therefore, near JonesborOugh, Illinois, and set
to work; but the Copperheads of that County
(Union), which gives 1888 Democratic to 142
Republican votes, are "down on niggers,
and have the eXecrable BLACK Laws" OF IL
linois at their back, so they are hunting away
the poer fugitves, and our friend knows not
what TO do. Meantime, the season Of blowing
and planting for Cotton Is slipping away; and
The result Of this inhumanity will probably be

themselves, and are in truth but larger chill.
