The farmers, for miles around have no forage whatever for their horses and cattle, and many of them have no provisions for their families. There is a dark future in the prospect for them. Several that we have conversed with state that they would like to go into the State of Maryland and rent a farm until the war is over. They would make the attempt if it were not for the idea of leaving their dwellings; and once they desert their homes, it is all day with them. Straggling soldiers and teamsters make short work of unoccupied tenements. Great complaint is still made by the soldiers relative to provide us and forage. Yesterday over two hundred wagons were all day at Belle Plains waring for forage, yet they were compelled to go back to their brigades and regim

of all mankind. But a General who can do such a craven need of blood is not likely to put himself in the neighborhood of danger. Gen. McNeil, like General Butler, whose evil fame he has now eclipsed, will keep himself out of harms way. It is, however, to be feared that when the tidings of this treacherous cruelty reach the Confederate chiefs, they also will thing it necessary to make the innocent suffer for the guilty. It is very possible that if this had occurred before the invasion of Maryland the Confederates might have slaughtered in retaliation at least an equal number of the 11,000 men they paroled so lightly at Harper's Ferry. It was in deeds like these that the horrors which occurred during the civil war in Spain took their rise. Even Cabrera was not so destitute of excuse as this McNiell seems to have been.

lly distrustful of his own abilities. The descendant of a gallant officer of the older revolution, the husband of the grand-daughter (by adoption,) of General Washington, the inheritor of a large estate, and the trusted leader of a great and victorious army, he is nevertheless accessible to the humblest and most ragged soldier in the ranks, courteous to his officers. just and kind to the citizen, and with all and above all, a meek and humble Christian. During the time the army was in Maryland an officer of high position in the country suggested a number of reasons to Gen. Lee in support of a grave measure then under discussion. Among others, he remarked to him that he was trusted by his Government, had the hearts of his soldiers, and possessed the entire confidence of his country, and that the army, the Government, and people, relied implicitly upon his patriotism and genius.
