An admIrer of Mcclellan.

F. i. Flair, 61st Pa, Pittsburg, Pa,
says that he deeply regrets seeing men
who served in the Army of the Potomac
discrediting the military ability of Gen.
Mcclellan and extolling that of Gen
Grant He served under Gen. McClel-
Ian in the Peninsula, and while al
Generals made mistakes, he does not
see how the campaign could have been
managed any better. Gen. Mcclellan
was bound hand and foot by Gen. Hal
lecik, and did the best he could. If
Halleck had allowed Mcdowell to join
Mcclellan, as the litter begged, 1t
would have prevented jackson striking
us on the right and rear. Mcclellan
proposed something that showed him
great military genius. He wanted to
move the army from Harrison's Bar to
tfie south side of the James, and take
Richmond from that side over the
same route that Grant afterwards fol-
lowed. Halleck would not permit this,
and one of Lincoln's mistakes was in
giving Halleck SO much power.
