Hemorate the military services of Gen.
Mcclellan. 1t is a sad disappointment to
be deprived of this opportunity to meet
my comrades Of the Army OF the Potomac
and to review the campaign and the bat
ties In which we followed our gallant ana
accomplished leader who created that
glorious army
mo commander ever enjoyed more Of
the confidence and affection of his troops
than We gave to the hero of Antietam,
and IL is a supreme qualification for all
of US to see this recognition OF his char
acter and achievements placed in the Cap
ital he saved from capture In July, 1851.
and again in August, 1862. Sincerely
yours, DANIEL /. sICALEs

Gen. Howard quoted the following re-
mark made to him by Mcclellan after
the campaign in Virginia: i have been
long enough In command OF large army
TO learn the real insigniiicance OF any
man unless he depend upon power
above" and added:
Gen. Mcclellan was my beau ideal Of
that class Of generals who win the
love Of their soldiers by earnestly and
persistently caring for their interests, as
a father cares for the interests OF his
children
