May "A, 1851, he was commissioned major
general in the regular army, and upon the
retirement OF Gen. Scott, November l, 1851,
he was appointed general-in-chief of the
armies of the United States. In March
1862, having been relieved of the command
Of all the armies, except the army
of the Potomac, he took the
field, and Nov. 2, 1862 was superseded by
Glen. Burnside. Under orders, Gen.
Mcclellan repaired to Trenton, N. j., and
took no further part in the war. He re-
signed from the army on the day of the
Presidential election 1864, he being q
candidate in opposition to President
Liz coin, and received 81 electoral votes,
Lincoln having PIP. He soon after went to
Europe, returning in 1868, and engaged in
practice as an engineer, having charge Of
a numsser of public works, including the
Stevens floating battery, superintendent
of docks and piers in the city of New York,
and construction of the railroad bridge
over the Hudson river near Poughkeepsie.
In 1877 he was elected Governor of New
jersey, serving one term, since which he
has lived a retired life. His habit of mind
was scholarly; he translated from the
French a manual of Bayonet Exercises
adapted for the use of the United States
army, also a volume of government re-
ports of the Pacific Railroad surveys, a
volume Of the reports of the European
commission (he being a member thereof
visiting the Crimea in 1850, "The Armies
of Europe" and the "Report on the
Organization and Campaigns of the Army
of the Potomac" His personal life was
blameless, and his public career may safely
be left for the discriminating justice of
impartial history.
