The Army Testimonial to Mcclellan.


There is no other thing which the fadi-
calls have made such noise about of late as
the proposed army testimonial TO Gen. Me-
Clellan. The constant cry, th at it has prov
ed failure, is on pas with all their ohe
( ialshoods in regard TO that gallant officer
and ii is further proof that they fear McClel-
lan's ability. We're he so poor an officer,
and possessed so little talent as they claim
he does, there would be no attacks upon
him. The fact lie, they know that he is
one OF the ablest Union generals. Hence
their consian: assaults upon him to poison
! the public mind
In regard 10 the testimonial by the army
| 10 Mcclellan, lis success was far bevond
the aulicipatons of the friends OF that gen,
eral. The basis for subscriptions for pri.
Yates was len cents each but in mary in
stances they refused to limit themselves
10 that figure. In most instances the rank
and file took hold of it with great enihusiam.
In one division alone the sum of ten thous-
and dollars was raised The only instance
where there were any objections raised
were III New York regiment, whose Col.
when raising his regiment, publicly an
nouncec that he would have no one but
Abolitionists in his regim enl, and a Mich
igan regiment and one other from the West
These regiments were all that made any
objections. When the order was issued
putting stop 10 the subscription, the round
sum of thirty thousand dollars had been
SUBSCRIBED Here is The secret of the order
being issued and The amin osity of Stanton
and company. Had the plan proved a
failure no order would have ever been is
sued 10 prevent The circulation OF the subs
ription papers in the army. The failure
OF the men to subscribe would have been
just the evidence the radicals wanted ag-
ainsi Mcclellan but their taking hold of il
with enthusiasm reused the petty iealons-
les OF Stanton and his cliq1e In order,
therefore, TO prevent the fact that the army
still adhered TO their devotion TO their for
mer gallant commander being known, an
order was issued to prevent the subscrip-
ton being taken, and the money was re-
funded
Mos; of the officers contributed literally;
others manifested their regrets that they
were so situated that they dared not take
hold of the matter and push il they desi-
red TO, fearing that il they did they would
be degraded by the War Office at Washing

the staff of General Meade, shows how

Colonel Davis held position on General
Meade's staff, with the rank of colonel.
Being an ardent admirer OF General McClel-
Ian, he took an active part in circulating The
paper, and in swelling the amount subscri-
bed The result is that Colonel Davis
rank was reduced 10 that OF major, and he
taken from General Meade's staff and sent
off TO Santa Fe. Oiher officers are being
treated in a similar manner, and efforts
are being made to degrade all officers who
took prominent part in the work. Could
party meaness, petty jealousies and des-
poiic power go further IN. Y. Heard,

THURSDAY MORNING. FEB. ).


In the Journal of Yesterday, two communica-
tons appear, one representing TO be from an In
diana soldier. and the other from a Georgia reiu-
gee. The former states that in conversation
with rebel prisoner he admitted that 1.-The rebels
were tired of the war" And the latter writes as
follows. and he basis his opinions upon what he
claims to be thorough and practical knowledge
of the feelings and sentiments of the great body
OF the Southern people:
The common soldiers are bitterly opposed to
the conscript act; but the officers impose il upon
them knowing that their lives and their fortunes
depend upon the result OF the war
The army of the South has been tired of the
war for the last twelve months. and but for the
lack of confidence in each other would diSband
and go home ut any hour 1t is unnecessary to
sav that the army of the S,.uth is afflicted with
all manner of disease. with little or no medicine to
be administered for their relief
If these statements in regard to the opposition
to the war in the South approximates the truth.
we inquire if there could be devised
more thorough plan to completely demoral
ize the rebel army to scatter it beyond
the hope Of reconstruction, than by cessation
OF hostilities through armistce of three
or four months? No better arguments can be
offered in favor of an armstice. The moment
that hostiIities cease and the people commence
discussing plans for the adjustment of the sec
tional controversy. the popular voice will resume
its sway in the direction of public affairs As
long continues, power and authority are
restricted TO and exercised by Few, and even
one bold, able and ambitious man may give Ell
tire direction TO the Government What is true
of the North. Is equally true of the South An
armistice would lit this weight aud restraint
upon popular sentiment. 1t would provoke free
discussion upon the troubles OF the nation,
sion and resentment. which war intensiieS. would
yield to the better sentiments ot our nature. and
the recollection of the glorious deeds OF com
mon ancestry, and the prosperity power aud
hgd achieved would eukudle NEW the sentiment
Of national pride Ii the army of the South is
tired OF this war; and has been tor the last twelve
months as the Republican papers represent. why

all some OF the most important and saluiary les
on which ever people learned.
FIRST, u has annihiiafcd in twenty months all
the false and petnicious theories and teachings Of
Abolitionism for thirty ars, and which mere
appeal t. facts and arguments conld not Lave
uniaught IN half century. We have learned
tat the South i not weak, dependent, urenter-
prising OF corrupted by slavery, luxury and Idle
ness; bui powerful, earnest, warlike. enduring,
selfsupporting. full of energy and inexhaustibie
IN resources. We have been taught, and now
confess II openly, that African slavery. instead
OF being n source of weakness 70 the South. l.
one OF her main elements of strength; and hence
the military necessity" we are told, of abolish
ing slavery in order 90 suppress the rebellion
We have learned, also, that the non-slaveholding
white men of the South, millions in number, are
immovahly attached 10 the institution, and are
its chief support; and Abolitionists have found
out 20 their infinite surprise and disgust thar the
slave Is not painting for freedom, nor pinng
in silent but revengeful grief over cruelty and OPP
preston inflicted upon him, but happy, coniented,
attached deeply to his master. and unwlling--at
least eot eagcr-to accept Tie precious boon Of
freedom which they have profiered him. / ap-
zeal TO the President for the proof ] appeal to
the fact haffcwer slaves have escaped, even from
Virginia, in now nearly two years. than Arnold
and CORVALLIS carried away in six months of
invasion IN 1851. Finally, SIR. We nave learned,
and the South, too, what the history of the world
ages ago, and our own history might have taught
Us, that servilc instruction is the least of the
ftlangers TO which she is exposed. Hence, in my
deliberate Judgment, African slavery, as an inst-
tuition, will come out of this coiict fiity-iold
stronger than when the war began.
The South too. sir, has learned most impor-
ant lessons; and among them that personal cour-
age is quality common to all sections, and that
in battle the men Of the North. and especially of
the West, are their equals. Hitherto there has
been mutual and most mischievous mistake
upon both sides. The South overvalued its own
PERSONAL courage and undervalued ours, and We
too readily consented; but at the same time she
exaggerated our aggregate strength and re-
Sources, and under-estimatcd her own; and we
fill in:o the same error; and hence the original
and fatal mistake or vice of the military policy
of the North and which has already broken down
the war by its own wcight-the belief that we
could bring overwhelming numbers and power
into the field and upon the sea. and crush out
the South ut n blow. But twenty months of ter
riblc warfare have corrected many errors, and
taught us the wisdom of a century And now
sir every one of these lessons will profit us for
all ages 10 come; and if we do but reunite, will
bind us in closer, firmer, more durable Union
than ever before.
