Gen. Mcclellan. Memoirs.

HIS PAPERS IN GOOD CONDITION AND PERFECT
ORDER - THE WORK ALREADY ACCOM-
PLIsHED.
From the New York World to-day.
When Gen. Mcclellan died he was at work
upon an article for "Scribner's" on the battle of
Antietam. The work was not finished. In the
generals library was found the manuscript
just he left it, with books of re:ereuce appro-
priately marked, his order-book and copies of
letters which he had received and sent Since
his death and since IL has been learned that
Gen. Mcclellan was writing his memoirs Gen.
Fitz John Porter has been almost daily in
receipt OF communications and kilograms from
publishers in Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago
Buffalo, Cincinnati, Boston and ST. Louis, ask
ing for the privilege to put the work before the
public. Gen. Porter in each instance referred
the matter to Mr.. w. c. Prime, Gen. McClellan's
executor, literary and general. Mr.. Prime has
as yet made no arrangements for publication,
owing to the unfinished character of the work
Gen. Mcclellan had written up to and through
the Peninsula campaign and was getting his
material ready for the time he was in charge of
the defenses at Washington, prior to the time
when he was called for the second and last time
to the command of the Army OF the Potomac
1t will be necessary for the editor, whoever he
may be, to fill in the hiatus from July to Septem-
Der, 1862, and to put the finishing touches on
Antietam. One mystery of the second Bull
Run that Mcclellan is said to have cleared up
in his description of the battle is that where
troops which he failed to send into action
Mcclellan shows that Porter had only 10 900
men, and that 5000 of them were, owing to
Secretary StantOns orders, at Frederick and
virtually out of Porter's hand, while the rest
were under fire continuously.
Mr.. Prime said last night that Gen. McClel-
lans affairs were in the same condition when
he died. Nothing had been done to promote
publication because there were other business
affairs TO be settled first. He would say, how
ever. that all the dead generals manuscripts
had been carefully packed in trunks in the
same systematic order in which they had been
left, together with the books of reference and
working material which Mcclellan had used
There were several of these trunks packed full,
and they HAD been removed from the country
house ut Orange to the city house on Washing
ton square. There had been a large number of
offers received to publish the works, but under
the circumstances nothing whatever had been
done in this direction.
Neither Gen. Porter nor Mr.. Prime could give
an approximate idea of the number of volumes
the dead generaliS memoirs will make.

Pherson SO v1ciousiy that he finally sat down
and told them they could take care of the cleo
tiuns without his assistance. The consequence
was that the republicans came out ahead, elect
