The correspondent of the New York
Evening Post thus describes Gen. Nc
Clellan's- recent appearance before the
Committee on the Conduct Of the War /:
. . He is a most singular witness. The
committee made very litLe progress with
him. TIE impression left upon the
minds of the committee is that lie is
either very stupid or very shrewd, be
ing IN The latter alternative so shrewd
hat lie affects stupidity. When an i'm
portant question is asked him. he waits
for long time before he answers it
sometimes for twenty minutes, and then
is very guarded in his reply. If asked
nm opinion, he replies Well, that de-
ponds on great many other things ;
or. ii is difficult TO give an opinion,
and so on"

BEFORE VlcKsBuRG, Feb. 22d, 1863.
Hon John Van Buren
An extract from your late speech has
Just come under my notice. 1t has the
clear Cd Democratic ring, ard contrasts
SO strikipgly with the spurious emana-
tons Of latter day Democratic impostors
that l cannot forbear to hail it, 1t re-
minds me Of the better days Of the Dem
oc,alic party, when, under the inspira-
ton of jackson and your father, its boas-
ted watchword was "The Union: it
must be preserved" Responsibility to
to that sentiment, upheld the arms of
both those magistrates to the extent OF
my ability and the sacrifice of home and
its endearments, and am now bearing
aims, amid disease and death, against
the armed enemy who would desecrate
it.
Northern peacemongers, who would
dishonor that sentiment by proclaiming
an armistice in the face of rebelious
and defiant enemy, but add pusilanimi-
ty to treachery, and truly, as you ener-
getically say, "wll be carried away if
not by "lhe torrent" of public opinion,
eventually by force of arms.
Your obedient servant,
JOHN A. MCCLERNAND.

There is new invention in France,
by Which foot soldier, in heavy march
ing order, is enabled to walk on the
water without sinking. 1t consists of a
pair of India rubber boots and trousers,
all of one piece, which are filled with air
a little below the waist, and heavily
weighted at the feet. With these trous-
ers on, a detachment has frequently
crossed the lake ofVincennes, where the
water is about fifteen feet deep, firing
their muskets and loading as they went.
The men sink about two feet, the water
barely reaching the top of their thighs,
and appear not TO have any difficulty in
keeping their balance and moving ing.
