Gen. Mcclellan on Gen. Lee and Gene
raj Surrender--Grave Charges Against
the Young Napoleon.
WAsnIN0roN. Sept. 2. 1861.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1864.
To the Editor of the Washington Iele-
graph;
SR; am informed that Gen Geo.
B. Mcclellan has resigned his commission
as Major General in the regular army, and
| am, therefore, at liberty to make public
the following statement touching his char
acter as an officer. In the summer Of 1862
| was near the headquarters of the General
in-chief. He was sitting on a camp stool
in front of his marque; and with his head
in his hands, he remarked: - Lee is q
great man-a great General--a very great
Geueral!" His tone was despondent, and
was caused by the news of Jacksons raid
up the Shenandoah valley. A similar movs-
ment in these latter days does not seem to
make Gen. Grant unhappy.
Later during the same summer, was at
HarrisOn's Landing with the Federal army
and obtained the following facts from a staff
officer; and one of the ablest and most dis
| tinguished Judges New York ever produc-
ed, who | believe, was an eye witness of
most of what he related. While our army
was moving down the rebels at Malvern
Hill, as they came up to our guns four lines
! deep, General Mcclellan went on board OF
the iron-clad Galena with proposal IN his
! UpSSeSStOH " ShEEdHcttT tKc dMp ~ Nt
Potomac to Gen. Lee. Commodore Rogers
demonstrated with him and begged to be al
lowed to pass up the river and take n po-
sition to defend the army until the will of
the President could be obtained.
After much entreaty, Gen. Mcclellan sent
courier to Fortress Monroe, and tele,
graphed his intention to Washington in
cipher, which he said seemed absolutely
necessary in auxiliary sense, The Presi-
dent answered promptly that the army
must not be surrendered in any event.
death and destruction were better,and sent
his answer by General IIaileck to Harrison s
Landing. The sequel is known,
Now, sir, / challenge a denial of thit
matter, and il cannot be made in salts
factory way. Tho facts will descend tC
posterity, showing Gen. Mcclellan to have
been weak and Incompetent American
General, and to be incompetent, and yot as
sumo the rank Of General, has been Sc
down by the highest military authority as
equal, if not worse, than treason, per Sc.
am. sir, with great respect, your obedi
ent servant, VIRGISIAS.

AUTUMN PLANTING OF SrRAwBERRIRs.-A
correspondent of the Country Gentleman
says;
"AIi growers Of strawberries in the re.
gion around Now York, make the most ex-
tensive autumnal planting between the 10th
OF November. We plant new beds until
the ground is closed by frost, and always
with success. Professor Hmtsman says
his most successful paintings are those
that are made latest. Such as are planted
the latter half OF November we cover with
layer of sedge, straw or hay, for the pur-
pose of keeping it on when the ground be-
comes frozen; as by thus shutting out the
suns rays we cause the ground to remain
permanently frozen during the winter.
We find that it is not the permanent cold
that Injuries the plants, but the thawings,
which draw out many plants so that their
roots become exposed, aud are then winter
killed"

not appear TO touch the prisoner at all,

been killed by shot in the head, and lie
produced the matted hair and stuff cut
from and taken out of the wound. 1t was
all hardened with blood. A basin of warm
water was brought, into court, and, as the

ballad. The other half had beeu found in

mac, and is evidently taken with General
Butler of whom he speaks as follows:
:" No other man has so impressed us
with his thorough and comprehensive
grasp of public affairs. lie understands
the rebellion its causes and its cure, per-
fectly. He has no fears whatever that the
South, when once its Military and political
leaders are driven out, or killed, or cap
tured and hung, will be difficult to govern.
In fact it will, in his opiEion govern itself
peaccably and perfectly. The people there
have been more accustomed 10 submit to
their leaders than the people of the North.
Here there is more Individual thought,
more personal freedom, and parties more
rapidly and more surely disintegrate under
the influence of conflicting opinions. Hence
when once their infamous traitor leaders
are out of the way, mingled as they will be
with u large emigration from the North
and from Europe, they will rapidly become
a quiet, orderly and highly prosperous peo.

Died Yesterday,

Every day is written this little sentence
" died yesterday so and SO. Every day d
flower is plucked from sunny home, u
breach is made in some happy circlc--a
jewel stolen from some treasury of love.
Each day from the sumner fields of life
some harvester disappears yea, evory
hour some sentinel falls from his post. and
is thrown from the ramparts of time into
the surging waters of eternity. Even as
we write tho funeral of one who died
yesterday winds like funeral shadow
along the street.
Died yesterday" Who died Perhaps
it was Il gentle babe-one whose laugh
was as the gush of summer rill, lettering
through bower of roses, whose life was
a perpetual litany-a May-time crowned
with passion flowers that never fade. Or
mayhap, it was youth, hopeful and gem
erous, whose path was hemmed with flow
ers, with not serpent lurking underneath;
one whose soul painted for communion with
the great and good, aid reached forth in
an earnest struggle for the guerdon in the
distance. But that heart is still now he
died yesterday
Died yesterday" A young girl pure
as the orange flowers that clasped her fore
head was stricken down as she stood at
the altar !; and from the dim aisle of the
temple she was borne to the garden of
the slumberers." A crowned man girt
with the hollow pomp of victory, and at
days close sitting under his own vine and
fig tree, fell to dust even as the anthem
trembled on his lips; and he, too, was laid
"where the rude forefathers of the hamlet
| sleep" An ancient patriarch, bowed with
age and cares even as looking out upon the
distant hills for the coming of the angel
host, sank into dreanless slumber, and on
his door post is written. died yesterday
Died yesterday" Daily are men, wo-
men and children passing away, and hour
ly i'll some graveyard the soil is flung upol
the dead. As often in the morn we find
some flower that bushed sweetIy in the
sunset has withered up forever, so daily
when we rise from the biYouac, to stand
! again at our posts, we miss some brother
soldier, whose CHEEKY cry in the sieges and
struggles of the past has been fire from
our hearts.
Each day some pearl drop from the jew
eled thread of friendship--some Tyre ia
which we have been wont to listen, has
been hushed forever. But wise he is who
mourns not the pearl nor tho music lost
for life with him shall pass away, gently
as an eastern shadow from the hills, and
death be triumph aud gain.

THE DYING SUMMER.

Dying Summers gently gliding
Into Winters frigid grave;
While the fallen leaves are hiding
Beauties that around her wavol
Still, are gems Of beauty glowing,
AS the grove she tesselates,
With the floral wonders growing.
Wonders that her life creates!
Rich and gorgeous Is the pillow
Where she lays her dying head,
Midst the gold-fruit ripe aud yellow,
And the flowers blue and red.
Happy Summer, bright aud airy,
Brilliant transient. hugCr still;
With thee, life aud fay and fairy
Vanish all from mount and rill
Roses sweet with dewdrops weeping,
Woo thee lovingly to stay;
Silly streams and cascades leaping,
Bid thee not in haste away.
Laughing hours Of sunny gladuess
Fall-winds still will blow away;
Leaving leaves 10 sigh in sadness,
As they wther day by day.
While the sultry Autum's breathing
Perfume from each dewey flower,
Summers hand is gently breathing
Garands for her parting hour.
Youthful June and July glories
With their beauties pass away
Serve but as MeD,ento Morris
Of all pleasures bright and gay.

We sit at home, nor feel that they
Who fight upon the distant plain
Are falling foster day by day
harvest of the slain.
We lightly walk the busy street
Wh re trade and gain roll swiftly on
They march battlefield to greet,
And die as it is won.
The trumpet calls them in the night
To die for freedom and the boom
vi cannon from the tortressed hight
Still calls them TO their DOOM
Unmoved we read Of how they fell
To shield the starry flag from shame
Dauntless through storms of shot and sholl
In the red battles flame.
Brave hearts are Seating for us there
Amid the conflicts teYerish breath;
This hour, what soldiers hurried prayer
Is said for you, in death.
They lie upon the lonely hill
Or backened plain, in dreamless sleep,
Their rest eternal. Never will
They wake, like us, to weep.
We rise each day to weary toll
And hourly strive-their work is done.
Their blood will consecrate the soil
Their lives SO nobly won.
