Mcclellan N The ARNY.-The following
is an extract from private letter written by
an officer in the Army of the Potomac
suppose You would like 10 know what the
army thinks about Mcclellan. Well as far as
can learn, and there is good amount of talk
on the subject, Mcclellan has lost about all his
army friends since ne connected himself with
the~Copperheads and Peace men. The nomi-
nations made at Chicago will receive very little
support from the soldiers They cannot see
how they can vote for both war and peace
man. The cry with them is war until the
rebels lay down their arms, and are willing to
take what terms we are willing TO give them
Men. who q month since were strong for Nc
Clellan, now call him q traitor. Ale will
receive nine out Of ten votes in the army.
Massachusetts regiments are all for him. The
Western troops are the same. Little Mac
lost his friends in the army when he was put
