Precisely why they called him they did not know, and I fancy they have not yet found out. But the war had hardly begun, and his department was the only one in which anything had been done; and, forgetting how cheap pen and ink are, they took it for granted that the author of such glowing dispatched must, in fighting qualities, be the ante-type of Frederick, of Bincher, of Wellington, and of Napoleon. So, "click" went the telegraph, and, quick estan express railway train can run, George B. McClellan appeared in Washington, and assumed the command of the army of the Potomac. Having set up an idol, all patriotic men, of high and low degree, instantly commenced offering incense at its shrine — though nobody could tell exactly why, nor has anybody yet found out. Everybody reposed implicit confidence in him; all waited for his nod with reverential aspect; his slightes

Not a bit of it. Like Message, of whom Napoleon said, "His head is never so cool as when a thousand cannon are thundering in his ears," our Field-Marshal possesses his soul in peace, and directs the telegraphic censer to reiterate the chronic fact, "All is quiet along the lines of the Potomac

As the new year approached, "Why don't be moved" said some impatient observer, infatuated with the delusion that war means fighting. "He is waiting for something to turn up!" responded grave believers in strategy. Well, it did turn up at Hill Spring. --Why don't be move now ? He is waiting for Burnside. His plan contemplates a general once upon the foe all along the lines from Hatteras to Kansas. When they are ready at the extremities, the centre will fall with crushing weight upon Manassas, and the rebellion will be ended. Be patient. By and-by the gallant Burnside, after encountering and mangling obstacles immeasurably worse than all the mud that can be piled between the Potomac and the Rappahannock, opens fire at Roanoke in the East, while Fort Henry, on the Tennessee, and Donelson

The public, not then knowing that he had neither planned nor fought a single one of the battles he described, and had not even been under fire in Western Virginia, and that he was entitled to no more credit for any of those victories than the writer of this paragraph — the bewildered and appalled public, and the horribly frightened officials at Washington, who, in their nightly dreams, saw visions of Beauregard and the Black-Horse cavalry crossing the Long Bridge, instantly indicated McClellan as the man to supplant Mcllowell. Precisely why they called him they did not know, and I fancy they have not yet found out.
