ker's evidence before the Congressional committee on the conduct of the war, with reference to McClellan and Burnside's campaigns, says: So far as Gen. McClellan is concerned, if he had any repGen. McClellan is concerned, if he had any reputation left this evidence would annihilate it. On the general conduct of his campaigns, and on the half-dozen most conspicuous instances of his incapacity, General Hooker's testimony is equally conclusive — more so than anything we know of except McClellan's own account. If there be still one man so demented as to think him a General, we beg him to get a copy of the first volume of the Report of the Committee, and read what George B. McClellan has to say in his own behalf. If that does not convince him, his insanity may be set down as hopeless. Aside from its historical value, Gen. H it will expect to discover in him those soldierly qualities and the ability for command which McClellan had not; and in the broader field now open before him will anticipate the display of that cour

, and the corps went into camp on the left bank.--The following day the main body crossed and returned to their old camps, having lost more men and material than McClellan did in the seven days, and so ended the first (and I trust the last) campaign under "Fighting Joe." The feeling in the army is one of bitter disappointment and i seemed to be nothing but his own indecision to defeat him. You can well imagine, without my going into details, what the feeling is in the army. The desire for McClellan's return, which has never abated since his departure, has now become more outspoken than ever. Men talk of it as possible, probable, certain; and rumors of ever General commanding one of the corps, he asked, "In case Hooker is relieved, who is the proper man to command the army?" The General answered emphatically, "George B. McClellan" The other replied, "But he is, of course, out of the question; can't you name some one else?" The General answered, "Yes, Wm. B. Franklin, and aside from t

river below Charles City C. H. The party consisted of the 1st company of the Washington Artillery, Capt Squiers, commanding, a Parrott section of the Loudoun Battery under Capt. Rogers, and one piece of Stuart's horse artillery, with a small cavalry support, the whole being in charge of Col. Lee; and having reached the desired point on the river bank, under cover of the night, they opened fire last Monday morning on the enemy's transports coming up with reinforcements and supplies for McClellan's army. The first transport was disabled and driven back, and as soon as the position of our artillery became known, the enemy brought up his gunboats and shelled them at a desperate rate. Managing, however, to avoid their range, our boys waited till evening, when a large fleet of transports appeared in the river, supported by gunboats. Col. Lee then ordered them into battery on the bank just opposite, when they poured into the Yankee vessels a terrible fire of shot and shell. Having a

nd exultation. The London Post charges the American Government with being all along influenced solely by popular clamor, having never pursued an independent course. The Morning Herald finds it impossible to account for the inactivity of McClellan. Possibly, it says, after the battle of Fair Cake, and the breaking up of Beauregard's army in the West, he does not me his way clearly, and may not himself outnumbered by the enemy, in a position which in impregnable, and from which the enemyWest, he does not me his way clearly, and may not himself outnumbered by the enemy, in a position which in impregnable, and from which the enemy may fall upon his lines and works at pleasures.

s pretty evident that they mean to exert their whole strength, and stake the issue of the war upon the capture of Richmond. For this purpose they will not only concentrate all the forces they now have in existence, but will raise as many more as they possibly can. Lincoln has already called for 300,000 recruits. Whether he will get them or not, is one thing. Whether we ought to act as though he had already obtained there, is another. It is our opinion that we decidedly ought so to act. McClellan, we are disposed to think, has by no means relinquished his designs upon this city. He expects to be reinforced in his present position by Halleck's army, by all the troops he can bring from North and South Carolina, and from Georgia, and possibly Florida, in addition to the recruits already mentioned. This, at least, is our view of the case, although we confess we have no date upon which the opinion is founded. It seems to us that it would be the part of wisdom to act precisely as thou
