THE BATTLE OF GAINES, MILL.

There are two or three points in McC!el.
lan's career for which even his most lnfat-
mated followers attempt no apology. For
instance his coWardly stampede On boarathe
gunboat Galena-leayipg his retreating army
to It's fate; his keeping Fitz John Porter's
corps Of 81 600 men out Of the fight at An
tiet2m, and his refueal to pursue Lees ar
my, when 1t was discovered they were re-
treating; and thirdly, his failure to reinforce
Portef's corps at the battle Of Gaines Mill.
III regard to the last named, 1t will be recol~
l,cted that nearly the whole rebel army, led
ly 6tonewan jackson, fell on Porter's corps
OF g, 600 men ard routed 1t, while Mcclellan
looked idly on. The corps made stubborn
fight, and resisted the rebel onset for seven
houre. but there are limits to human nature

but these, after gsllantly fighting half an
hour were outhsnked, and eHept away By

il one OF McClellhn's bosom friends, was
constrained to eny u1der oath In relation to
this battle, that "had he been reIrforc-

POLITICS THE Army.

As was said recently by your cores
pendent IN the Army of the Potomac, one
feels purer and freer atmosphere, out
here among the blue. coated and travel.
stained soldiers of the Union. Here YOU
miss the hated hiss of the Copperhead.
and fsel rejoiced to hear instead the hope.
iul and hearty sentiments daily and hourly
uttered by this portion Of our glorious
army. Mo one IN these camps, NOS even
the little drummer boys, have. particle
of doubt AS regards the ultimate success
of the Union cause, and can scarcely
lnsgine worse fate for the vile, aud
heariless men who so strenouslv uroe
peace measures upon the people, than to
show their heads i'll the army Could the
soldiers have their way, Cspperh eadism
you'd soon vanish and the ilco.iohs this
Fall will feel how vast aud weighty is the

ton OF the day. People may sheer il they
will about the soldiers vote, and say that
they cannot vote as they like, but as their
officers dictate, but can tell your readers
that although soldier is accustomed to
implicit obedience and the strictest dis
c'plne, yet IN matters not military he is
not the man to allow others to dictate to
him his line OF conduct. But either vav,
it makes no material difference in the
grand result. Both officers and men are
united on the one great question of carry.
ing on the war to successful Termination,
for they have too often faced the enemy.
and lost TOO many comrades by the casual
lies of war, to think now, even for mo-
ment, OF q compromise or any other
ending Of the war save that of the total
and unconditional submission Of the reb.
