There never was An order given TO Gen. Nc
Clellan. either by the President, the Secretary
or the general-in-chief, for the movement OF
his army against the enemy that he did not
have some objection to make to it, and it was
bis own conduct in every case, while Mr.. STAN
ton was Secretary, that made it necessary to
give him orders. Indeed. IL vas veil known
that Gen. MeClsllan would not carry out such
orders without telling his supegiors at Wash-
inRton that he would do % only after hearing
what he bad 70 say about Il, and even then his

WHAT GEN. PORTER SAID.


Referring to the withdrawal Of the army from
the peninsula, Gen. Fitz John Porter, in his
paper entitled 1.-The Battle Of Malvern Hill. "
in the Century battles and Leaders Of the
Civil War" says:
Contrary, however, to Gen. McClellsn's ex-
pectatious the peninsular campaign of the
Army of the Potomac virtually ended on the
4th OF July. From that date until August IA.
when the army at shutdown took up its march
for Fort Monroe, its commander was engaged
In the struggle to retain it on the James as
against the determination Of the Secretary of
hammock. there to act in conjunction with the
Army Of Virginia"
Not only then was Gen. Mcclellan engaged
in the struggle up to the 18th to retain his army
on tie James. but on the 10th, seven days after
he received the order to withdraw. he wrote to

He did not "hope to be ready 70 move for.

Richmond" While having . struggle against
the Secretary Of War to retain his army on the

against Gen. Haileck's order. / cannot there
