fortunes of Gen. Mcclellan, i'll private
letter, recently received says:
Judging from what l see and hear,

trust and pray that they may remain so;
and that this army has ceased to be an
engine with which to experiment and to
test Generals, or rather men, to find out
if they could ever become Generals.

He does bat change the form ol materials

indeed, to their utility, or beauty, or
