Death of Gen. McClellen.

Gen. George B. McClellen died
suddenly at Orange, New Jersey, on
Thursday of last week. "Little Mac"
as he was dubbed in the army, had
great opportunities presented to him,
but was unable to grasp and make the
most of them. He posed before an
anxious world who was eager to exalt
him into hero and great man, but
alas! he proved sham and utter
failure. both as soldier and after as
Statesman. Yet in the face OF history
and stubborn facts, some of the pa
pers are striving to magnify him into
a hero! One of the most fulsome of
these panegyics appears in the Cecil
Whig. Turn to the back files of that
paper and true history of the man
and his criminal laundering IN the
swamps of the Chickahomony will be
found, where his cowardce and in
competency wasted by disease, delay
and vacilating the finest army that
ever appeared on the American Con-
tinent. Remembering these dark
avs of anguish to every true heart.
and the denunciations of Kerney, the
one armed hero, Sumner and other
brave men under him, such fulsome,
soldering of any mans memory, who
hadn't even sufficient of the elements
of greatness about him to admit of
greatness being thrust upon him,
makes one sick unto the point of
vomiting.
