Pierpoint (search for this): article 4
r with the people of that State, Similar representations have been made on the part of the people of the 8th Congressional District of Virginia, known as the Harper's Ferry District, composed of the counties of Hampshire, Page, Warren, Clarke, Berkeley, Jefferson, Frederick, Morgan, and Loudoun. Numerous letters have been received here by the Marshal of the District of Columbia, a native of that section, and other prominent residents of Washington, complaining bitterly of the failure of Gov. Pierpoint to order an election. There was a time when it might have been held with comparative safety, and the Union sentiment of the district been freely represented. The responsibility for the Fredericksburg disaster — report of the Congressional Committee on the War. [From the N. Y. Herald, 26 h.] The report of the Congressional Committee on the War fixes the responsibility for the disaster at Fredericksburg beyond the shadow of a doubt. When Gen.

o lead so large an army as McClellan's. This is no discredit to Gen. Burnside, but to those who perpetrated the folly of forcing him into the position. The genius for leading small bodies and large bodies is entirely different. Beauregard did very well with 30,000 men; but when he took command of 100,000 he failed Pope behaved very well with a small, independent command, and with a portion of a great army; but when he took command of large army in Virginia he made a sad business of it. Jackson is an enterprising brilliant General, with 20,000 or 30,000 men under his command; but give him the army that Lee commands, and the chances are ten to one that he would fail. The genius of McClellan is very like that of Lee, and he is the only man we know of at present who is able to cope with him. Gen. Scott indicated him as the best commander for the whole army, and it is the rashest presumption on the part of more civilians--third rate lawyers — to remove him from it, and put in his pla

Christmas day in New York was on livened by the funeral of several officers of the Irish Brigade, attended by Brig. Gen. Meagher and others. It was doubtless a cheering scene.

Sumner swears that he "could have taken Fredericksburg and the heights on the other side of it at any time within three days after his arrival if the pontoons had been there," Gen. Sumner adds that the army was "demoralized" in consequence of the battle, and that "there was a great deal too much croaking and not sufficient confidence" Gen. Franklin testifies that if the pontoons had been ready at the time of the arrival of the army the troops "would have immediately crossed the driving the enid had the enemy chosen to prevent is, General Hooker deposes, that Hallock, or Meigs, promised to have the pontoons down and everything ready in three days. When Sumner arrived there were only five hundred rebels at Fredericksburg; "but," he adds " the same mishap was made there that had been made all along through the war"
