The death OF General Mcclellan which &C.

figures Of the civil war and of our politics. He
will not be ranked however with the creates,
men Of the age, though he win have warm ad.
mrers who will claim that his merits were
never appreciated. The popular estimate OF
Mcclellan is probably the correct one. He was
"a man OF fine military talents and of hizh char
acter, but he lacked certain elements which
enter into the composition OF the winner of
LIES battles. whether In war or peace, and the
absence OF these qualities prevented him from
realizing his aspirations and the hopes Of his
friends. His career. thus limited, WAS credita-
BILE. without being great. He rose to oonsidcra-
bic distinction. and Judged by ordinary stand
ards his life was far above the average, but he
tailed In the undertakings on which he set his
heart and staked his fate, and he died disap-
pointed man.
