McCrELIANs RxroRr.-Now that this long
expected document Is furnished, the radical
organs are nervously apprehensive lest the
War Department should be indiscreet enough
to allow its publication. The only thing they
can urge against this is its inordnate length, the
report they say, containing from sixty to
seventy thousand words, and the accompany.
ing documents ivc times as much Seeing that
for two long years Mcclellan has silently SUBJ
mi,ted TO their attacks, has offered no word Of
remonstrance against their caumnics, and
awaited patiently his time OF justification, this
measurement BY words of his right Of defence
is carrying party spite to pitiul extreme. If

WHAT IMMIGRATION Is DoMa FOR Us.-There
are some facts connected with the immense In
crease in immigration. to which we recently
for congratulation. We learn from the officials
at Castle Garden that Of the immigrants who
are arriving here there is larger number be-
tween the ages Of sixteen and thirty than was
ever known at any former period. OF these
the major portion are, of course, agricultural
and railroad hands; but the number of skilled
artisans is also unusually large. As general
thing these latter bring some little means with
them. and refuse to accept any other occupation
than that to which they are accustomed. The
high wages offered In our collieries have also
brought over considerable number Of miners,
who are whipped up by employers as soon a.
they arrive. These men csn average easily
from two and half to three dollars day.
OF factory hands, especially fros. the cotton
mills in Lancashire, there u large influx.
Although they come over here prepared to &C
cept work Of any kind, there Is prospect that
they will readily dnd place at their old en-
ployments. Many Of our cotton factories, which
had suspended on account Of the scarcity
and dearness Of the raw material, are now
altering their machinery 20 as to be en-
abled to compete with the English manu-
facturers in the finer description Of
fabrics. This was . result to be anticipated
from the high duties levied by the new tariff,
and, inasmuch as the difficulties created in their
manufacture abroad by the blockade are driving
over here all the best mill hands, an immense
impetus will be given to it in this country. 1t
need not be apprehended that the suppression
0! the rebellion will at all affect the prospects
O. the emigrant by throwing back upon us the
bands that have gone to the war. Leaving
aside the fact that every addition to the popu-
lation creates corresponding demand for
labor to supply its wants, it may safely be an
ticipated that for some years to come there
will be no considerable diminutiou in the aggre-
gate Of our military force, and consequently
no superauity Of industrial labor. II the South
Is to be subjugated it will require large garri-
sons to keep it under; if it is restored on such
terms as will insure its willing obedience. we
shall have full employment for the force that is
now in the field in chastising England and
France for the mean advantage which they have
taken Of US 10 our difficulties.
It will thus be seen that the advance that
we have made towards the position Of a first
class military nation will retard in no degree
our industrial progress. On the contrary, that
which our European enemies predicted would
insure our ruin promiscs to render us more
commercially independent and powerful than
ever
