Every victory they have gained has been gained in their newspapers, and nowhere else. Who can count the achievements which these knights of the pen have attributed to the knights of the sword? How adroitly these newspapers, which published so much, covered up the ghastly number of their dead and wounded at Rich Mountain, at Bethel, at Vienna, at Bull Run, and even at Manassas! Who can tell to this day the number that has been slaughtered upon the decks of their vessels in their various attacks upon our land batteries? Who more indebted than Gen.

McClellan is trying to teach the same lesson to the Northern journalists.we now recollect is a telegraphic dispatch published soon after Gen. McClellan had reached a point in Western Virginia, where he could have maned out to be true after all. But that truth was the fault of General McClellan, and not of the press.
