General McCiellan's Report.

The North American Review has an art-
Gle ON the report of Gen. Mcclellan. We
clip few paragraphs:
Disguise and soften il as we may, the
campaign on the Peninsula was a disastrous
failure-a failure months long, like bad
novel in weekly instaments, with ITO be
continued" grimly ominous at the end OF
every part. So far was it from ending in
the capture of Richmond, that nothing but
the gallantry of Gen. Pope and his little
army hindered the rebels from taking Wash
ington. And now comes Major General
George B. Mcclellan, aud makes affidavit
in one volume octave that he is great mil
itary genius, after all. 1t would seem that
genius is of two varieties The first finds
the enemy, and beats him the second finds
him and succeeds in getting away. Gen.
Mcclellan is now attempting change of
base in the face Of public opinion, and is
endeavoring to escape the consequences of
having escaped from the Peninsula. For a
year his reputation hared upwards like q
rocket, eliminated, burst, and now, after as
long an interval, the burnt out case comes
down to us in his report.
There is something ludicrously tragic, as
our politics are managed, in seeing an Ad-
lulHlStIdllOu lnpclcu W pTlnJ u Cdm pdiku
document (for such is General McClelan's
Report in double sense), directed against
itself Yet in the present case, had it been
possible to escape the penance, it bad been
unwise. We think that no unprejudiced per-
son can read the volume without melan-
choly feeling that General Mcclellan has
foiled himself even more completely than
the rebels were able to do. He should have
been more careful of his Communications
for line two hundred and forty-two pages
long is likely to have its weak points. The
volume before us is rather the plea Of an
advocate retained to defend the General s
professional character and expound his poll
tical opinions, than the court colorless, un-
impassioned statement of facts which is
usually so refreshing in the official papers
of military men, and has much more the
air of being addressed to jury than to the
War Department at Washington. 1t is, in
short, letter to the people of the United
States, under cover to the Secretary of War.
Gen. Mcclellan puts himself upon the coun-
try, and after taking as much time to make
up his mind as when he wearied and i'm.
periled the nation in his camp on the Po-
tomac, endeavors to win back from public
opinion the victory which nothing but his
own over-cautiOn enabled the rebels to
snatch from him before Richmond.
Of his manner of making war the re

M'CLELLAN's HELPLEssNEss.


From the time Of his taking command
till his removal he was constantly asking for
more men, constantly receiving them, and
them after he got them. He could not
move without one hundred and fifty thou
sand pairs Of legs, and when his force had
long reached that number the President was
obliged, by the overtax impatience Of the
country, to pry him up from his encamp-
ment on the Potomac with special order.
What the army really needed was an addi-
ton Of one man at the head of it; for a
General, like an orator, must be moved
himself before he can move others. The
larger the army, the more helpless was Gen.
Mcclellan. Like the magician's .fdnptus,
who rashly undertook to play the part of
master, and who could evoke powers that
he could not control. he was swamped in
his own supplies. With every reinforce
ment sent him on the Peninsula, his estimate
of the numbers opposed to him increased
His own Imagination faced him in superior
! numbe at every turn. Since Dou Qh&ote s
enumeration of the armies of the Emperor
Alifanfaron and King Pontapoin of the
Naked Arm, there has been nothing like
our Generals vision of the rebel forces,
with their ever-leng list of leaders,
| gathered for the defence of Richmond"
Of the character of his mind he says,
justly:
MCLELLAN's MENTAL CONSTITUTION.
General McClelan's mental constitution
would seem to be one of those, easily elated
and easily depressed, that exaggerate distant
advantages and dangers near at hand
minds stronger in conception than percep'
ton, and accordingly, as such always are,
wanting that faculty ofswift decision which,
catching inspiration from danger, makes op
portunity success Add to this kind o.
adhesiveness 1--WE can hardly cali it obstinacy
or pertnacity) of temper, which can make
no allowance for change of circumstances
and We think we have tolerably clear no
tion of the causes of Gen. McClellan's dis
sstsrs. He can compose good campaigr
beforehand, but he cannot improvise ont
out OF the events of the moment, as is tn
went OF great Generals. Occasion seldom
offers her forelock twice to the grasp of tn
same man, and yet Gen. Mcclellan, by tn
admission of the rebels themselves, ha'
Richmond at his mercy more than once"
The General was spoiled by the politician
! in the opinion of the reviewer, and sue
, cumbed not to the enemy in his front, bu
to the one hundred and fifty thousand voter
! behind him:
: 'If Gen. Mcclellan had been as prong
in attacking the enemy as he showed hin
self in this assault on his superiors, we thin
his campaign on the Peninsula would hay
ended more satisfactorily"
