General Richard Taylor in North Ameri-
can Review.
After the battle Of ChiCamauga, In
1868, General Grant was promoted TO
the command of the armies OF the
United States and called 10 Washing
ton. In conference at the War Office
between him, President Lincoln and
Secretary Stanton, the approaching
campaign in Virginia was discussed.
Grant said the advance on Richmond
should be made by the James river. 1t
was replied that the Government requlr-
cd the interpOsitiOn OF en- army between
Lee aud Washington, and would
not consent at that late day 10
the adoption of plan that
would bs taken by the public as q con-
fession of previous error. Grant OBJ
served he was Indifferent as 10 routes,
but II the Government preferred its
own-so often trIed-to the one he
suggested, II must be prepared for the
additional loss OF one hundred thou
sand men. Tho men were promised.
Grant accepted the Governmental plan
Of campaign, and was supp Orted to the
end. The above came to me well au-
thenticated, and have no doubt OF its
correctness. During his operations In
the Peninsula and near Richmond,
Gen. Mcclellan complained much Of
the want of support. | think the con-
stancy with which President Lincoln
adhered 10 him was, under the circum-
stances, surprising. He had drifled
away from the dominant Washington
sentiment aud alienated the sympalhies
of his Government. His fall was in
evitablc; the affections Of the army but
hastened 1t. Even victory could not
save him, He fell into the habit OF
saying, "My army" "My soldiers."
Such phraseology may be used by q
Frederick or NapOleon-soVereigns
as we'll as Gcnerals-but officers COM
maud the armies oftheir Governments.
Gen. Mcclellan is an upright, patriotic
man, incapable of wrong.doing. lie
has a high standard OF morality and
lives closer TO II than most men
do q lower one; but It is
TO be remembered that the
examples OF the good are temptations
and opportunities 10 the unscrupulous.
The habit Of thought underlying such
laugu &c, or soon Pngendered by its
: use, has made Mexico and the South
American Republics the wonder aud
scorn of civilization, The foregoing ac-
count Of McClellan's fall, and the cause
thereof, Is deemed pertinent because
be was the central figure in the North
ern field and laid the foundation OF
Northern success. Above ell, he, and
4 gallant band of officers supporting
him, impressed q generous, chlvalric
spirit on the conduct Of the war; which
soon faded away after his downfall {;
and the future historian in recounting
some later operations will doubt If he
is dealing with campaigns of Genera ais
or expeditions of brigands.

SENATOR BARRY made the remarka-

on Wednesday, that he did not think
there were more than two or three
Senator's that understood the Silver
Bill. On this matter that courtesy that
should exist between learned law-giv-
ers ought to have admonished Senator
Barry 10 speak for himself only. The
simple proposition to remonetiz9 silver
coin may be too deep for Mr.. Barry TO
understand, but we think nine-tenths
of the people of Mississippi Of the
South, OF the West, and of the whole
Union, fully understand it. The South
fully understands it, because she can
see no earthly reason for rcpudiating
the coin hat served oUr foreiAthers 80
we'll for nearly hundred years, aud
that enabled France to resume coin
payments with ease. The East under
stands it, because she believes that re-
lief given in this manner to the great
mass Of the people will be at the ex'
pense Of her bondholders and pap
suckers. Cotton understands 1t, be-
cause it continues TO go down
down, and the South and West
up to this tune, have consented tC
