Gen. McClellan.

The Federal Commander-in-Chief, General McClellan, finds it impossible, even after the recent Federal successes, to give satisfaction to the ‘"On to Richmond"’ gentry of the Lincoln Congress and press. A member of Congress openly declares that McClellan is the only obstacle to complete success, and that great military critic, Horace Greeley, ridicules the idea that McClellan is entitled to the credit of the Federal victories in the Southwest. It is unfortunate for McClellan that he has the reputation of being a gentleman, which, with many of his party, the Tribune school especially, is considered as great a crime as being a slaveholder.
