Gen. Mcclellan as A Wit.--The Washington Star, speaking of Gen. McClellan's interview with the press brigade, last week, says:-- Gen. McClellan is not fluent of speech apparently, and doubtless doesn't care to be. That there is some little quiet fun in his composition, was apparent at the interview; and on the suggestion being made that the pictorial papers should be severely talked to for giving representations of our military works and operations, he seemed to think that they could be safely left alone, as quite as likely to confound as to instruct the enemy.--N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, Aug. 7.

Gen. Mcclellan's song.--A musical lady friend has made the discovery that Gen. McClellan's speech is well adapted to go as a song to the John Brown tune. Now, as the soldiers will sing that tune in preference to any other, we think it highly desirable they should be furnished with better words to it; and who knows but they may be willing to adopt this, which is at least unexceptionable on the score of taste and sentiment. Gen. McClellan is fairly entitled to the reward offered by the National Song Committee. We have had our last retreat, We have had our last retreat, We have had our last retreat,-- McClellan's marching on. Glory, halle-hallelujah! &c. We have seen our last defeat, We have seen our last defeat, We have seen our last defeat,-- McClellan's marching on. Glory, halle — hallelujah! &c. You stand by me, and I'll stand by you, You stand by me, and I'll stand by you, You stand by me, and I'll stand by you, And victory shall be ours. Glory, halle-hallelujah! &c. --Bost
