Administration Evidence in Favor Of General
Mcclellan.
DANIEL, drop me a line,

In view Of the attempts Of the Republican
papers to circulate saunders against Gen. Nc
Clellan, we give the following testimony re
specting his abilities and services from vari-
Gus members of the administration:
WAsuNGroN. July 2, 1862.
Major General George b. LcCle3sm:
I am satisfied that yourself, officers, and
men have done the best You could. All ac-
counts say better lighting was never done
Ten thousand thanks for it. A LINCOLN.
Two days afterwards, when Mr. Lincoln
had fuller information, G,n. Mcclellan recciy-
ed the following:
WASHINGTON, July >, 1862.
Major General Geo. B. JECleHm, Command
ing Army Of the Potonsec:
A thousand thanks for the relief your two
dispatches of u and P. NJ. yesterday gave
me. Be assured the heroism of yourself, Off
GERS, and men is, and forever will he, appreci-
ated a LINCOLN.
In August, 1862, Mr.. Lincoln made speech
at the White House, in which he said:
There has been very wide spread attempt
to have a quarrel between Gen. Mcclellan
and the Secretary of War. Gen. Nc
Clellan's attitude is such that in the very self
ishness Of his nature he cannot but wish to be
successful, and hope he will.
x + I know Gen. Mcclellan wishes
to be successful. GEN. JEC1rll,nl is not
to blame fol, asking ,ehat he ,ca,tted and need
ed
IbeIieve he is brave and able man
and I stand here, as justice requires HE to do
to take upon myself what has been charged on
the Secretary Of War as Withholding from
him

IT is said that the military authorities
are about to erect extensive Notifications
at each of the gaps in the Shenandoah
Valley, to prevent further raids WASH
ington Dispatch.
Gen. Mcclellan, three years ago, ad-
vised and insisted upon the fortifcatiOn
of the gaps of the Shenandoah Valley,
q" in order to prevent raids or flank
movement" by the rebels that way. Hal
leck then wrote Mcclellan an imPudent
letter, saying there was no necessity Of
fortifying the Valley if he kept the enc
my busy in front Three years of bloody
experience-during which the Shenan-
doah became " the Valley of Humili-
ation"-has brought Halleck and the
Administration to realization of Nc
Clellan's foresight, and they are reluct-
antly compelled to adopt his suggestions,
which if adopted when first made, would
have saved ten thousand lives. This is
a fair illustration of the imbecile, ignor-
ant and laundering war policy of Abe
Lincoln Ohio Statesman.

TIE Richmond Sentinel quotes from the

pers intimatious that President Lincoln
will make some new offers of recuueilia-
ton to the southern people, and ssys;-
"Read the account, too, Of the burning

marking his path an utter d6s0latiOu.-
After this preparation, after these polite
courtesies, these winning attentions, these
seductive faVors, Mr.. Abraham Lincoln is
to invite rs to his arms. We think Mr..
Lineoln's message or proclamation, will
find US in poor humor to appeeciAte his
affectiOnate sentiments toward us. We
fear he has made too free an exhibition Of
his inner parl0r and Of the winding stair
which leads to It for us to play the part
of the fly in the fable. We shall, Of course.
be very much obliged to him for any kind
words he may speak to rs, and we are
waiting to hear them. But as We do not
ask pardon when We have committed no
Offenses, and are scarcely disposed 10 ao'
cept forgiveness from him for enormous
wrongs he has done us, we shall disap-
point him in the returns we may make for
his extraordinary grace and goodness. We
shall doubtless be unreasonable enough to
consider him as having committed new
imPertinence, and as having added new
insult to the long catalogue OfintoleFable
injuries. But still, let Abraham speak"
The Jackson MississRpiaB discusses the
matter in different spirit, and accepts the
war as the chastisement and cure Of our
national faults. 1t says:
"Let NO man deceive himself. There
never can be peace in this country, If any
State is compelled to rest under the stigma |
of disgrace Hence it is that we must
make peace honorable alike to all. The |
war, therefore, must kill fanaticism, bigot- |
~, despotism and intolerance on both
sides. Before it ends these fell genii Of
destruction and enemies OF good govern
ment will lie buried deep beneath the
ocean of blood aud tears which they have
caused to be shed to appease their insatia-
BILE appetites; and the good genius OF con-
of Christian charity and genuine
will rise up to govern and
bless the land. When this is done, who
can say the war was not necessary Let
us hope that the temper Of the American
people Is even now nearing that consum-
nation 90 deYOutly to be wished for, and
that ft will soon find means of making |
itself known and felt. Beyond all doubt,
the great body of the people on both sides
desire peace to-day. In our opiuion, they /
are willing to conclude it upon terms
which will leave the escutcheOns of both |
untainted with disgrace, and |
If they fail TO make such a peace, il will be |
entirely 70 their own moral
cowardice."

West Virginia, which took place on Mon
day last, the 2sth uIt., In broad Daylight.
It is generally admitted to have been Q
most disRraceful and humiliating affair.
Notwithstanding the warning received the
previous day, by the routing Of his scout
ing party and the capture Of their piece of
artillery; notwithstanding, also, the express
ipiunctions forwarded 70 him previous to
the attack, by General Kelley, to be vigi-
liant in his efforts to meet any emergency
Colonel. Latham, the officer in command,
was unaware of the approach Of the rebels
until they were in the very centre Of his
camp and his troops and the place COM
pletely at their mercy. We regret this for
he sake of Colonel Latham, who has here
tofore borne q high reputation as an eXpe-
rfenced military officer. We understand
that he has been placed under arrest at
Grafton, and trust that he may be able,
satisfactorily, to purge himself of the
charges which may be brought against him
concerning this affair. .at
We are informed that the Government
stores destroyed by the Rebsis Was not
very valuable. The fort was not material
" Injured, the magazine, even, not having
been exploded. Two of the guns were car
ried of aud the remainder spiked, but the
spikes have been drawn and the pieces are
again in q serViceable condition. The
bridges and railroad in the vicinity were
scarcely touched and the travel thereon Is
uninterrupted. The squad Of Rebels who
proceeded to Piedmont were Valiantly and
successfully opposed by Capt. Fisher, of
the 9th Virginia Infantry, and the men un.
der his command, so that the damage IN:
Hicted upon the property Of the Railroad
Company ct that point was very triaiugt
Among the sufferers ct New Greek were
Messrs. T. B. Davis & Co., whose store
was plundered and afterwards burned by
the chivalry. Edward BOchm, son Of the
superintendent of the railroad ct this
place, was among the citizens carried off,
as was, also, Mr.. G. F. Sims, Sutler, aud
A. ]. ROby, an employee in Adams EE'
press Office.
The rebel force is stated to have been
from 1 500 70 1000 strong, led by Gen
Rosser, about fve hundred of whom en-
tered New Greek. The advance guard are
| reported to have been dressed In the Fed
eral uniform. They were piloted IN by
young Mcdonald, son Of the rebel General
| of that name.
