GENERAL McCLElLAN.-Ths atlantic
Monthly, in its March number, begins to
make some candid admissions concerning
General Mcclellan. We give the following
rs evidence that the most stubborn radio.
alism can occasionally entertain an Incl.
dental truth:
"lf there is any one thing more then
another for which General Mcclellan is
distinguished, it is his ability to make an
army. Men may have their opinions as
to his genius and courage. his politics or
his generalship; they may think he is too
slow or too cautious, or they may say he
is not equal to the emergency, but OF bis
ability to organize an army there is q
concurrent opinion in bis favor"

the late defeat of the Federal forces in
that State, under General Seymour, thus
aliudes to the cause of the REVERSE
He says:
"At the com mencement Of the fight the
Eighth United States colored troops were
supporting Hamilton's battery, but when
their assistance became really indispensi-
bic, by some strange order they lied to
the right in the rear Of the battery, for the
purpose Of joining their right on the left
Of the Seventh Connecticut. Atthat par.
ticular time the movement wss decidedly
an error, for by carrying it out it lef, Ham.

tempt to enflade the enemy on his right,
Hamilton moved forward four pieces, but
before he got into position the rebels on
that portion Of their line had concentrated
all their fire upon him and the 9Th United
States, who had again came up to his sup
port. In twenty minutes time Hamilton
lost forty~four men, killed and wounded,
and forty horses. The Eighth also SUI:

This mysterious fling to the rear Of our
"loyal black allies,' is further noticed by
Lieut.. Eddy, Of the Third Rhode Island
Battery. lie says:
at was our mislortunes to have for
supports negro regiment, who, by run.
ming, caused us to lose our pieces. The
fight lasted three hours, when finding his
small army SO much cut up, the General

This shows how much reliance can be
placed upon negro soldiers.

THE OBSTACLES TO PEACE.

Whenever a democrat mentions
peace. all the supporters Of Mr.. Lin
aoln fall to raving like madmen. Yet
when Mr.. Lincoln offers peace if only
one tenth of the southern people, will
.dop, his plan, they fall to ravins be-
-,ase democrats can't approve and sp-
pIaud the plan. He promises to cou-
csae them every thing if they will on
~ abandon slavery. He would surren-
der TO them Atlanta aud New Orleans,
and abandon the attempt to capture
Richnond and Charleston, if they will
throw up their hats in honor O. his
plan. 49,
tie is willing to give up everything
hut the negro. Yet Mr. lincoln can

independence Of tbs Cpnfe isracy: and

in every proclamation he has made to

them terms Of peace, and ye. no repub-
liean thinks of calling him traitor. "a.
