GENERAL PRMs OPINION OF The UNION AR.
MEs-In another portion of this journal we
publish an article written by General Prim.
the celebrated Spanish commander, who came
to this country at the period when General
Mcclellan was in command of the Army of the
Potomac. General Prim visited this army. and
bis remarks upon it will be read with interest
lie praises the soldierly appearance of the men
their spirit and endurance, and pays well
deserved tribute to the skill and tact Of their
commander.
General Prim evidently appreciated at their
just value the exertions which had created in
80 short time an army Of we'll disciplined
soldiers He was struck with the immense re-
sources Of our government and the real power
and determination OF the North. He regards
the United States "a the FIRST nation in the world
because no other can maintain in the field
armies amounting to over . million Of men, at
an expense Of several millionsa day, all without
demanding foreign loans. The self-relance OF
the American people strikes with wonder this
experienced soldier, who knows that in such an
element lies future success and power. The
Generals letter Is extremely interesting, and
we call particular attention to Il.
AT this period, when 50 much malignant and
unmerited abuse Is being heAped upon General
Mcclellan, the testimony OF 50 important per
son ~ General Prim will be received at its Just
value

The APPROACHING M0CLELLAa MASS MEET
NG.-A grand mass meeting of the political
friends Of General Mcclellan is appointed for
Thursday evening next at the Cooper Institute.
We have every reason to anticipate an imposing
demonstration in numbers and in enthusiasm;
for the name of the Generals admirers is legion,
and their confidence in his military and politi-
cal abilities is strong They believe too, that
be has been unjustly dealt with by the admins
tration. and they are anxious to make manifest
this opinion. But when we hear that that old
political fossil of bygone age, Amos Kendall,
is to preside at this assemblage we think it
probable that it will not finally settle the Pre-
sidential question. There was meeting some
months ago of some of the odds and ends OF
the old Know Nothing concern at Cincinnati,
at which Mr. Kendall figured as chief cook and
bottle washer; and by that little meeting, If we
are not mistaken, General Mcclellan was pro.
claimed its Presidential candidate. Mr., Kendall
will perhaps have the same class Of struggling
politicians around him as the managers Of this
Cooper Institute meeting II so we can hardly
congratulate General Mcclellan upon the load
he will have to carry. Knowing, however, az
We do, that he does not aspire to, and has no
desire for, the Presidency, but that he does de-
sire to be restored to active service as O SOL
dier, we have only to say let him still exercise
his patience and discretion, and he may yet
be amply rewarded under the administration
that is to come. Meantime why do not the
friends Of General Fremont in this city get up
a grand mass meetingf They must speedily
begin to move in something more than little
ward associations or they will be TOO late for
the train.

by such tricks. Or are they really In earnest
in this national movement. and do they intend
to risk all and win all by III If so, they will
succeed II so, the people will 60 along with
them But we have right to demand of them
some further proof or sincerity They have
been false to past pledges and have broken
past promises, and must not expect to be in

together their committee and unanimously re-
port the address already published. No day is
yet fixed for this, but Wednesday will be the
best, because it is the earliest Then let them
call State and a national convention and
proceed regularly to work Should they do

The WASHINGTON HETaHTs CONFESSION AND
THE KNGsBRlDGE RAMRoAD-We observe among
the applications for railway charters now be-
fore the Legislature one for q railroad TO

ever Of merit this application may intrinsioally
possess, there is one thing about Il which should
stamp the proposition with suspicion, II isun-
fortunate for the application that among those
making it Is . person who was active
in getting up the recent barbarous at
tempt to cut UP Washington Heights and
destroy the attractiveness Of that beautiful
region by laying out ten broad avenues within
its limits, and in mapping out the land in
way best to suit spectators in corner grocery
lots to the infinite prejudice of the interests Of
villas which now ornament that charming To-
cality, This influence will seriously impair
the prospects of the Kingsbridge railway pro
ject, just as it has aroused the Indignation Of
people Of good taste and judgment by its un-
civilized attempts to transform terrestrial
elysium into tract for the breeding of low grog-
geries, with the usual attendants of drunken
HESS, Vlce anu Crlihe We nave olalmeu tnaG
this Washington Heights Commission should be
abolished, as being unnecessary aud unwise,
and as crimnally neglectful or wilfully igno

Of all concerned in the business for which it
was appointed. The Legislature cannot now
do better work than to abolish it at once,
and to wipe out all its past proceedings as
they would any legislation that is marked by
SO much corruption and profound ignorance.
In the meantime, or OF the same time, the Legis-
lature should lay aside this project for the
