tant Disclosures.
Fro m a late number of the N. Y. Herald,
we obtain copy.of the letter of Gen. Nag
lee in reeerencc-to the attacks of the enemies
of Gen. Mcclellan upon that officer. He
shows up mnch of the secret history of the
Peninsular campaign, and of the attempt
madegeven atsthat early date TO cripple the
resources of the Commanding General, and.
defeat his attempt to capture Richmond. In
cidentally he brings up Gen. Mcdowell land
the coalition made by him with certain officers
at the head of the, Government, includingl
Stanton, to- defeat any smoEement made By
Mcclellan. 80
This man Stanton. is the person who fur
nishes dispatches for the reading of the peo-
Pile although at this day there are but. few
silly enough to give any credit whatever to
anything appearing over the signature of
Stanton. He is proposed, it is reported
through his own telegraph, to fill the vacancy
on the Supreme Bench caused by the death
of Judge fancy. To show the miserable
character the man has, and-his fitness for the
position, we give a short extract from the
letter of Gen. Naglee who, from his long SER
vice in the army, probably knows him as
well as any man in the country. He says of
Stanton
CHOW Judge, you know, or should know,
that the reputation of4Mr. Stanton for truth
and veracity is not above suspicion, and that
you maxwell, believe anything thatmay be
saidsregarding his great incivilhy and rude
fness, for not excepting yourself have never
seen nor heard of, an officer or civilian who
did not condemn him for the utter want of all
fof;the requisites of a gentleman"
The. following statement of the losses of
FGen. Gra6ts during the Summer will astonish
some of9the sanguine Republicans who. have
heard of nothing but a succession of victories
In that quarter for six months. He says

fPeninsular campaign.and The condemnation

| The Administration papers have abused
Mcclellan for an alleged military incapaOity.
What do they think of the following Rropo-

i remind you that, within the last sixty days, a
confidential. friend of the President was sent
to offer him one of the mostimportant COM
