McOrrLLAN.-A correspondent of
the Bay City Press, writing from the
army of the Potomac under late date
says:
We all feel our loss in Nc Cellan.--
Had he been here we would have had
breastworks thrown up in the night to
fight behind in the daytime. You can
now see what the Northern bull heads
have done in takiag our leader from us,
in whom we had 80 much confidence,
and placing another in his stead and
nrging him on before he was ready.
Look at Yorktown! Mcclellan knew
that TO assault the rebel works would
be madness; so he ordered breastworks
thrown up, and as soon as tho rebels
saw that our chance was as good as
their own, they skedadded.
