Maior-General Mcclellan.

This kind of stupid meddling with his
plans by Lincoln and Stanton, harassed
General Mcclellan at every step. All the
disasters on the Peninsula resulted from it,
and the great victory of Antietam was won
in spite of it. 'My plan" has cost this
afflicted country hundreds of millions of
dollars and hundreds OF thousands of lives

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 1862.


MY DEAR SIR:-You and have distinct
and different plans for movement of the
Army of the Potomac: yours to be done by
the Chesapeake, up the Rappahannock to
Urbana, and across land to the terminus Of
the railroad on the York river; mine to move
directly to apoint on therailroad southwest
of Manassas o.f ..
If you will give satisfactory answers to the
following questions, shall gladly yield my
plan to yours: W-.
1st. Does not your plan involve greatly
larger expenditure of time and money than
mine? raj biz.
I'd. Wherein is victory more certain by
your plan than mine?
Sd. Wherein is a victory more valuable by
your plan than mine? 'H .yi-g.-
4th. In fact, would it not be less valuable
in this: that it would break no great line of
the enemy's communications, while mine
would? - D..
9TH. In case of disaster, would not a re-
treat be more difficult by your plan than
mine?
Yours, truly, ..

The Death of Mrs. Greenhow.

The death of woman by drowning is
an event that always cxcites the tender
sympathies and pity of generous minds.
1t was the fate of Mrs. Rose A. Green
how, formerly of Washington, to meet
such death at Wilmington, as already
announced. Her life had been eventful
She was q native of Maryland, and quite
distinguished in Washington society. -
Her strong intellect and energy Of char
acter led her take very great interest
in politics. She possessed pei onal graces
as we'll as mental, that added no little to
the distinction she enjoyed. She was
the widow of Dr. Robert Greenhow,
son of Mr.. Robert Greenhow, of this
city, we'll known in other days He
was gentleman of much learning, who
filed the office of translator of several
languages for the State Department OF
the old Government. Ms. Greenhow
had visited Europe to publish book she
had written on the war and her impri-
sonment by the Lincoln Government
This she had accomplished, and was just
returning to the Confederacy, when, on
Saturday last, she met her death. The
Wilmington Journal thus notices the
event:
"As we write-at half past four o'clock
on Saturday afternoon, October /, 1864, -
the corpse Of Mrs Rose A. Greenhow, a
well known, aud, we may add, devoted
Confederate lady, just returned from Eu-
rope is laid out in the chapel of General
Hospital No 4 All the respect due to
Mrs Greenhow's position and character
is, no doubt, paid to her remains by the
ladies of the Soldiers Aid Society, and,
indeed, we may say, by the ladies gene
rally.
Cup to the time OF writing, we have
obtained few particulars. We know
that, on Friday night or Saturday morn
ing, the steamship Condor, in endeayor
ing to come i'll over the New Inlet bar, goi
aground, and that boat from her get
swamped On the rip and that Mrs
Greenhow, being passenger on board
that boat, was drowned. We have not
learned that any other Of the passengers
on the boat perished."
