allowed the bulk Of his army to be held inactive
by relatively Insignificant Confederate force
(Which he grossly overestimated) while Porter
was being overwhelmed. General Niche says:
Conceding. however, that Mcclellan was
bound make his dispositions conform his
information, such as it was. it is scarcely possi
bic, even with this concession. to justify the
necessity, obligation propriety of fighting the
battle Of Gaines Mill. His strongest friends
and warmest admirers-Porter Franklin
Smith-sustained ii in the expectation that Nc
Clellan would attack Magruder with the bulk
Of his forces on the south side. while Porter was
holding the position TO which he had been
signed to the last extremity. And If in his
own mind he had decided that there was no
alternative but a retreat to the James, il was
incumbent upon him to withdraw Porter from
Beaver Dam Creek in the darkness after his
successful action OF that day.
In fact. there is scarcely an incident Of the
Peninsular campaign. from its conception to its
dreadful close at Malvern Hill, in which General
Niche does not find ground for blaming the
commander-in-chief. Severe this criticism is,
however. it is strictly fair and judicial in tone.
In these respects it is so markedly contrasted

II is pleasant TO turn from the chapters that
deal with the unsuccessful general the pas
sages which describe with warm admiration the
noble minded. able and genial man. McClellan's
personality Notwithstanding a somewhat too
evident egotisn-was singularly attractive. He
won the unbounded affection of his intimates
and OF those whom he commanded. and deserved
IT. He possessed able and well equipped
mind; very great executive ability. and char

have deserved the noble tribute contained in
this closing passage Of General Michies volume
may have been better than military success:
In republican America there is order of
nobility whose titles are God given and among
these there are none that stand higher than
