and must advance. In Missouri, Kentucky, and Northwestern Virginia, we may bide our time and opportunity, select our positions, and fight them only when it is policy to do so. They propose too, to go to the relief of Eastern Tennessee. Let them try it. When they have marched through Kentucky, it will be impossible for them to keep up communication with the North, and their invading army will fall an easy prey to our forces. We must conquer Washington and Maryland on Virginia soil. McClellan is required by the whole North to advance. He must advance or resign. If he, or the General who succeeds him, advances, we will be sure to defeat them at Centreville, or Manassas, or at some point between Washington and Richmond.

McClellan in demanding of Lincoln a modification of Cameron's report, the Philadelphia Inquirer takes up the gauntlet in McClellan's behalf, and pitches into the Post in the following severe language: An article copied in our news columns this morning, from the New York Evening Post, of yesterdaon a rumor from Washington, that formal at once insults the President and wantonly assents General McClellan. It even goes so far, in its fanatic seal, as to eagerest that the General-in-chief shouln disaster, and from which it was rescued by the soldierly ability and untiring energies of Gen. McClellan.--The article from the Post is animated by the same insane real which reland the "on to Richat cause again in peril of the deplorable results caused by that pyrometry. Thus far, General McClellan has shown himself too thorough a soldier to be moved from his duty by newspaper clamor, an
