How Our Candidate Took his Defeat

The N. Y. Evening Express gives the
following account of a meeting Wed mes
day morning between Generals Hancock
and Mcclellan:
For man who has met the crushing
defeat of his life General Hancock sus-
tains himself nobly. At 8 O'Clock this
morning he went to his official headquar-
tiers, and was soon immersed in his daily
military correspondence. He had read the
morning papers at break fast and knew the
result. Not word fell from his lips; not
movement OF his i'm passive face gave
token of the emotion within. Two or
three visitors called, and were received by
General Mitchell in the Office. At 10
O'Clock the ferry -yacht brought over to
Governors Island a gentleman who had
himself tasted the bitter experience of the
soldier candidate for presidential honors-
General George b. Mcclellan. 1t was a
kindred feeling. doubtless, that drew these
two men together.
swell, General" was the visitors only
greeting.
''Mac. I am glad to see you,'' replied
General Hancock.
81 am sorry" said Mcclellan.
Il am sorry, too,'' said Hancock, s'bat
only ior the people and the party
The other visitors withdrew, leaving
the two generals alone.
