Mrs. Greenhow is quite oracular in reverence to the campaign. She predicts that Gen. McClellan will not be able to strike a blow at Yorktown for many days, and when he does he will be defeated by the rebel army which will be one hundred and twenty-five thousand strong. She avers that the political enemies of McClellan here are intriguMcClellan here are intriguing to have him defeated so that he can be put out of their way, and intimates that the rebels being aware of this, shape their plans accordingly.
