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 slast 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.

Humors of the campaign.--A rollicking army correspondent of a New York paper perpetrates the following: La Mountain has been up in his balloon, and went so high that he could see all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, and observe what they had for dinner at Fort Pickens. He made discoveries of an important character, my boy, and says that the rebels have concentrated several troops at Manassas. A reporter of the Tribune asked him if he could see any negro insurrections, and he said that he did see some black spots moving around near South Carolina, but found out afterward that they were some ants which had got into his telescope. The Prince de Joinville's two sons, my boy, are admirable additions to Gen. McClellan's staff, and speak English so well that I can almost understand what they say. Two Arabs are expected here to-morrow to take command of Irish brigades, and Gen. Blencker will probably have two Aztecs to assist him in his German division.--Cincinnati Gazette, Oct. 22.

l army. It is from the Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligencer of October 8: A Mutiny among the Union Troops at Washington--General McClellan shot and mortally wounded.--We have received information from a reliable source, in regard to the reported slaughteroops at Washington. It appears that four regiments were required to change their arms, whereupon they mutinied, and Gen. McClellan surrounded them with five regiments. A melee with stones and brickbats then commenced, and to quell the riot, McClelMcClellan gave the order to fire. The slaughter is represented to have been fearful. Surely the Lincolnites have commenced the work of blood and carnage among themselves. A report is in circulation that McClellan has since been shot and mortally woundelaughter is represented to have been fearful. Surely the Lincolnites have commenced the work of blood and carnage among themselves. A report is in circulation that McClellan has since been shot and mortally wounded, but this lacks confirmation.

band free, He will go (Le Baton will) where white people be. He laughs at a wound, thoa he never has felt it, And glories in blood, thoa he never has smelt it. With a shrug of his shoulders that rustles his “bobs,” He wonders, “what next from the Cabinet snobs?” “Will Russell (the Cockney!) be thrown in the sea?” “Will the princes of Bourbon both Brigadiers be?” Le Baton most familiarly nicks the high names; Says, “the old codger (Scott) is always up with his sprains;” “Little Mac,” for McClellan, for Seward, says “Billy.” Talks of “Johnnie Fremont,” and of “Jessie, his filly.” And all of these things with a sodlier-like air, With a swagger and swell and a saucer-eyed stare, As becomes the great stick--Le Baton Militaire. Macaulay gave glory to Hall of Navarre With his oriflamme plume, as a signal afar, For the thick of the scrimmage — the tide of the war; But, bless you, 'twas nought to the one I exalt In the praise of this hero, who never cries “

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 des 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! 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. --Boston Evening Transcript, Sept.

General McClellan's speech.--A correspondent takes the poetic license of thus paraphrasing General McClellan's recent patriotic address to his soldiers: We've had our last retreat, We've seen our last defeat; You stand by me, and I will stand by you; Like Lane instructed, we will “put it through.” --N.

Very scandalous reports are rife concerning Col. Scott, nephew and secretary of the old General. It is boldly asserted that he is the traitor who has done so much mischief by revealing cabinet secrets and the plans of the Commander-in-Chief to the enemy. The failure of the scheme against the rebel camp at Munson's Hill, which was known only to Gen. Scott, Gen. McClellan, and Col. Scott, is attributed to the latter. It is intimated that the suspicions against Col. Scott were so strong, that his friends advised him to quit the country, and that this had something to do with the sudden resignation of Gen. Scott and his departure with his nephew and others for Europe. It is probable that these rumors and suspicions have been exaggerated.--Buffalo Courier, Dec. 6.

McClellan's Soliloquy. by A daughter of Georgia. Advance, or not advance; that is the question! Whether 'tis better in the mind to suffer The jeers and howlings of outrageous Congressmen; Or to take up arms against a host of rebels, And, by opposing, beat them?--To fight — to win-- No more: and by a victory, to say we end This war, and all the thousand dreadful shocks The flesh's exposed to--'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To fight, to win, To beat! perchance be beaten ;--ay, there's the rub; After a great defeat, what would ensue! When we have shuffled off the battle-field, Must give us pause; there's the respect That makes calamity a great defeat. But shall I bear the scorn of all the North, The “outward” pressure, and old Abe's reviling, The pangs of being scoffed at for this long delay, The turning out of office--(ay, perchance, When I myself might now my greatness make With a great battle?) I'd not longer bear To drill and practice troops behind entrenchments, But <

By pressure, not by slaughter.--General McClellan, so writes a Washington correspondent, is using untiring industry in getting the army into the best possible condition, while it is more evident, every day, that he does not mean to use it to obtain military glory, but to carry out a plan similar to that of Scott--to quell this rebellion by a mighty pressure, and not by a mighty slaughter.
