ore sanguinary battles; no more thinning of ranks to reinforce the great army of the slain, no more jealous rivalry for the leadership; no more political warring and, conspiracy; no more victories or defeats — the record is made up. There only awaits to be written the account of the death struggle, and the history of the proud and great Army of the Potomac is complete. The ambition that has at one time and another inspired its successive chieftains; the relative merits of Scott, McDowell, McClellan, Pope, Burnside, Hooker, and Meade, its different leaders; the true and authentic account of its unparalleled campaigns, separated from party bias and political purpose, leading to the exaggeration of this or the concealment of that important fact; the calm judgment of impartial witnesses as to the balance of advantage gained or lost in different battles, and the merits of different plans adopted, one after the other, for the attainment of the same end by different captains; all this, and

All the negroes, except the men able to make soldiers and work on the fortifications, had been put out of town into shanties in the woods to shift for themselves. The Yankees have Treasury notes of all denominations down to five cents, and cent tokens made of copper. These latter are private affairs about the size of "Nickels," and bear various devices and mottos, among the rest a cannon with "Union;" another has the motto or legend, "Peace for Ever." One Mr. Mittnaght (Mr. Midnight) makes safes, and has the picture of a safe on his token, which serves the purpose of a business card. One has a head in profile, adorned by a fine moustache, which is said to be intended for George B. McClellan. They are well gotten up, very little interior to the new U. S. nickel cents, and much superior to the old ones.

The capture of New Orleans — McClellan's Orders to Gen. Butler. The following is from the New York Journal of Commerce: Mason Brothers, of New York, have published Mr. Parton's history of Gen. Butler in New Orleans, containing much new matter. It seems that Gen. McClellan is entitled to the credit for laying down the plan of operations in the Southwest, and if Gen. Butler had done all that he was ordered to do we should have had a very different story from there. Gen. McClellan's Gen. McClellan's genius and foresight are admirably exhibited in the orders under which Gen. Butler went to New Orleans, and whatever credit is due to military operations there clearly belongs to the young Commander in-Chief. The following are the orders: Hey commanders in your vicinity, never losing sight of the fact that the great object to be achieved is the capture and firm retention of New Orleans. Very respectfully, your obedient serv't, George B. McClellan, Major-Gen. Commanding, &c., &c.
