Clellan was being conveyed to Washington, rushed into the presence of the General, and, showing the tattered banner, said: "General, I have carried that flag under you throughout the whole war, and now I want to shake hands with you." At this the Sergeant burst into tears, when McClellan replied, taking him by the hand, "Never let it go, will you?" All who witnessed it were deeply affected by the scene. Most of the time on board the train was spent in conversation with Gen. Augur. At Manassas Junction Gen. Sickles came on board and held a brief interview with him, when the train proceeded to Washington. The removal of M'Clellan's staff officers The New York Herald, of the 15th, has an editorial evidently trying to stir up some symptom of manliness and resistance in the people of the North. It is founded on the arrest of two of McClellan's staff officers, and the following is an extract from it: Hitherto the arbitrary arrests made by the Administra

atedly as Caesar had. But, as Caesar finally, accepted and was assassinated in the Senate-house, so Gen. Burnside, if he should go on as McClellan had in success, might find himself destined to a similar fate. But it was said the draft had been indefinitely postponed. Perhaps this neglect to reinforce our army, and the removal of McClellan, would turn out all for the best — he could not say as to that; but he had his fears whether Gen. Burnside would be able to save his position and prevent Lee from occupying our capital. [Sensation.] In replying to the attacks of the Tribune, Mr. Van Buren said he was as profoundly ignorant of military matters as any Brigadier-General. [Great laughter] He would not state his incapacity in any stronger language. [Renewed laughter and applause, and cries of "Busted."] His means were small, and growing beautifully less under the war tax. [Laughter.] He had, however, contributed $100 at the meeting of the Bar, which was as much as he could affo

ves, whose precedents on that very question were as clear and as precise as could be desired. As an illustration of this, he said to our Minister that, at the time of the war between the Allied Powers and Russia, the United States had ostensibly carried contraband goods in Russian ports, and constructed ships for the Czar Nicholas, and that not with standing the protest of France and England. He did not want to believe, as he had been told, that either the President of the United States, Mr. Pierce, or his Secretary of State, Mr. Marcy, were at all encouraging such unlawful acts. He preferred to think that they did all they could to oppose them, but the fact that they could not succeed ought to prove to the Minister of the U. States how difficult it was for the English Government to stop the contraband trade between English subjects and the rebels. The private letter which brings the details of this conversation says that, in conclusion, the British Minister promised Mr. Adams

, Mr. Van Buren said he was as profoundly ignorant of military matters as any Brigadier-General. [Great laughter] He would not state his incapacity in any stronger language. [Renewed laughter and applause, and cries of "Busted."] His means were small, and growing beautifully less under the war tax. [Laughter.] He had, however, contributed $100 at the meeting of the Bar, which was as much as he could afford. He had read Mr. Seward's letter, saying that the war was substantially ended, and Mr. Lord's letter, that the lawyers' fund was ample; and what more could he be expected to do for the prosecution of the war under such circumstances? He could not call in question these reliable authorities. Mr. Van Buren further answered the Tribune, and said the wonder to him was, that after the election the newspapers did not stop telling lies, in order that they might do it all the more effectually next time. [Laughter.] As to persecuting the war, he repeated what he had heretofore said:

ding the numbers and devotion of the "Army of the Potomac," McClellan does not know how many friends he really has in the country, nor will he until he shall have entered the great metropolis. A letter in the same paper, from Warrenton, says: Monday was occupied by Gen. McClellan in passing among the various camps, reviewing his troops and taking a final leave of both officers and soldiers. The course was first to Fits John Porter's corps. Sykes's division of regulars, like old Romans, were serious and grave in their demonstrations of regret. Yet there could be seen the heavy heavings of their breasts as Gen. McClellan rode past them and bid them an affectionate farewell, and urged them to do better for Burnside than they had done for him. It would be but an idle repetition to describe the greeting received at each several corps as Gen. McClellan passed through them. It was one round of numingled regret and sorrow manifested in every variety of remark, in every man

He said: The Democratic party was the opposition party, and it was decidedly opposed to this administration of the General Government. [Applause.] It was the business of the Administration to have a policy, and of the people to sustain it wherever it was possible to do so. He had said during the canvass that he was in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, and that the army had ought to advance to Richmond under McClellan. [Great applause.] He had said that Gen.

He did not propose now to say anything against the honesty of the President. He would presume that the President was an honest man. His friends called him "Honest Abe." [Laughter.] He never knew an honest man named in that way. Neither Azariah C. Flagg or Stephen Hallett was ever called by that name. [Applause.] A Voice.--Honest Fernando Wood.
