DEAR GAZETTE :~All is ‘ Quiet on the
Potomac.” The terrible demoralization, in-
subordination and mutiny, prophecied by
rebel synpathizers as sure to attend on Me’-
Clellans removal, are not yet discernable.—
In fact, the wholesale “resignations” which
I do not doubt 'were really threatened, have not
been heard Of at the Department. At least
they had not been this pm, for Itook espec-
ial pains to enquire. A certain class of
shoulder-strapped gentry who have hitherto
formed the swell mob at the Hotels and
Drinking Saloons of this City, have indulged
in a large amount of larger talk Of the utter
ruin and destruction which would result from
any interference with their ideas of the cam-
paign or with their idolized leada', but re-
sults prove that all such talk is harmless
twaddlc. In short I may as well state in
blunt Saxon, that the claim hitherto made
that the fighting men of the army held Geo.
ll. Mc’Clellau in any such wild idolatry as
has been persistently asserted byhiredretain-
(rs, is the most stupenduous lie of this whole
campaign, and the Lord knows that syste-
hnatic and gigantic lying, has been the lead-
ing feature of nearly all army reports and
movements. That there are a class in the
ranks who, when the quartermaster and com-
missary are clever and punctual,care for noth-
in g more, is true, and this class it is which
shout hozannas to the stolid and immovable
idol set up for worship by intriguing Officers
and despicable politicians; but to assert that
the carnestmon, those who made sacrajfices,
of home comforts and bushess interests. in
going to the war in the belief that the rebel- p
lion was to be squelched out in a few months
time, (as it certainly might have been,) these
men are suffering a restive impatience which
no pen can describe, and these do not threaten
insubordination at the President’s delicate
convictions of duty. The removal of MO-
Clellan, therefore, has had no more effect
upon the great Potomac Anny, than the
casting overboard of the fisherman’s anchor
stone and painter would have upon the cur-
rent Of that now historical river. A simple
“ch-chug,” a few circling ripples which soon
vanish—a few air bubbles, which burst as
soon as they reach the surface, and all is
smooth again. and the rapid current of events
sweeps on, uncontrolably and irresistdbly as
before. ‘ ,
Both the admirers and Opposers of the Me-
Clcllan programme have been both industri-
ous and ingenious in their assignment of the
reasons which induced his removal, but I
think t‘ Uncle Abe” summed it all up months
ago when he pronounced him, in his clear
logic but homely phrase, “an augur that
uouldn‘t bore.” It is historic fact that at Wil- .
liamsburgh, when he refused to. reinforce
Hooker and his brave and imperilled divi-
sion, he wouldn’t bore. Again, when he refu-
sed to save our army and our cause, under
Pope at Centrevillc, hetoouldn‘t bore. Again
at Antietam, when he occupied a. height
overlooking the unequal contest of Hooker's *
Division engaging the entire rebel army from
’" A.1I.t 3?.M. " ' 5
‘ l 0 ,and duvmg them two. Regiment, present on Nov. 11th, in which
miles at that, he refused to engage the enemy -
at. any other point, he didn’t here, except to
rebel advantage, and when Burnside dc-
Inanded reinforcements to s u at a in him
against overwhelming odds, he didn’t bore—
:my more than he did in leaving either the
traitor or cowardly Miles unsupported at
Harper’s Ferry, and in giving the rebels a
quiet day of truce in which to withdraw
their trains and forces to the other fie.
Last. though not least, after parrying every
urgent entreaty to move forward, on the 6th
of October he was peremptorily commanded to .
press forward and engage the enemy, but he
wouldn’t bore, and so the President determin-
cd that he wouldn’t be bored with such a
general any longer. The President has a.
Comical vein which invariably runs into the
most serious matters, and while I happen to
know that there are reasons cogent and con-
clusive, (which it is not best for thepublic
interests should now be made public,) 'whieh
determined the Executive action, he ‘never—
thcless puts it to those who persist‘in boring
him about the matter, after this fashion :—
“ You see, both the friends and the cue-
mies of ' my administration agree that the
elections have gone against us because of the
general dissatisfaction at the want of a more
rigorous prosecution of the war! The demo—
crats in Ohio and New York distinctly insist-
ed that the triumph of their candidates would
serve as a rebuke to me, and cause a general
waking up and increased vigor in War mat-
°tcrs, and I am told that many tried Republi-
cans joined in with them in this view. The
fact is, gentlemen, the democrats did state:
more truth than is generally their wont. I '
admit the plea, and as their democratic gener- '
at has been the only clog the Administration ,
has had,I accept their rebuke and hereby
dismiss him I”
The agricultural reader may have witness--
ed the comical confusion of a breechy steer
when attempting to jump the pasture lot
fence it finds itself imprisoned in a pen! It.
bears no proportion, however, to the load put
upon the McClellen men who whine about
the President. But that I may not be accu-E
sed of the prejudice common to every earnest
fighting oficer and soldier in the army, and to
Commanding General Halleck, and the Gov-
crnmcnt, I copy a few excerpts from the fel-
cgraphic duel carried on between Gen. Hal?
lock and Gen. McClellan, while the former:
was insisting uponhis advancing, as called
forth by the Secretary Of War’s demand up-
on Gen. Halleck for the truth Of McClellan’s
claim that he could not advance on account of
deficiencies and delays in forwarding him
supplies. [For Gen. Halleck’s letter see first
page] This letter, be it remembered, is from
his personal and political friend, Gen. Hal-
leek,—he, who, after the Gen. Pope disaster:
induced the President to reinstate him in
command, though strongly against his judg-
Inent.
But a trace to the deposed General. I
part with him with no undue or ungrouuded
prejudice. He has proved himself an augur
that wouldn’t bore, and although his mis—
management has cost the nation millions of
': money and thousands of more precious lives;
it may be that we have no one that could
have done better. He is undoutedly ages
nial, social and kind-hearted man and com—
petent engineer, and it should not be deemed
a personal attack upon him to avow the con—
"viction’that he has shown himself unequal
to the enormous magnitude of the work be4
fore him. That political feeling had nothing
_ to do;;With his removaLevery man in his
,isenses must believe.‘ Burnside is of the same
I
ed none the less by really loyal men because
democrats, nor is Banks the less esteemed
because of his republicanism, and none would
have yielded him a more unbounded mead
of praise than your correspondent, had his
works justified his professions.
Of his successor, Gen. Burnside, I have
great hopes, and if the next thirty days do
. not serve to illustrate both his driving energy
l and his discretion, I shall own to a sad dis-
appointment and gloomy mortification. I
do know, though not permitted to disclose,
that his military genius is already at work
with Halleck, Hooker, Heintzelman, Sigel,
and Banks’, in such a movement as must, in
my humble judgment, under Divine guid-
ance, send this rebellion reeling to the wall.
But if he shall as iguominiously and per-
;Sistently fail as his predecessor, I for one
shall as impatiently await his removal and
as heartily rejoice at its consummation.—
The stake is too sublime and fearful to hang
upon fate or destinies of any mere man. As
Gov. Andrew mOst forcibly and beautifully
states it—“ It is the great cause Of demo-
cratic, constitutional representative govern-
ment which is now on trial, not the cause of
any man on earth. We are contending for
the very hopes of a future, for a grand and
wonderful people, over whose full angels
might pause to weep. The interests of no
public man, civil or military, demand the
thought Of a loyal human being among us.—
And they weaken and belittle om moral po-
sition, while they tend to demoralize the pub
lic heart and mind, who attempt to hang the
issues of national life on the sword Of any
leader. Wisdom will still live when all of
this generation has gone under the dust;
and the people, country, and humanity will
live when all who are now counted great, in
peace or war, will have been forgotten and
lost, even to history.”
Yesterday Ivisited Fairfax Seminary Hos-
pital, and found young Thorp of Redding,
(wounded and taken prisoner at Cedar Moun-
tain,) nearly well and ready tO join his old
5th Regiment again. The 2d Ct. Battery is
located about two miles north of the capital,
and in full sight Of where I now sit writing.
I rejoice to learn that our fellow-townsman,
Geo. F. Daskam, is accredited to be one of
the best soldiers in the corps. The 27th is
at Chain Bridge, near Lieut.-Col. Woodford’s
N. Y. Regiment. The 19th and 15th are
near Alexandria. I shall endeavor to reach
the 17th on Monday. They are far in the

Col. Chapman and the Fifth.
Capt. Geo. W. Corliss, Co. C, 5th Conn.,
B.
Cedar Mountain, was taken prisoner, and
finally paroled, and returned to New Haven,
where he has since been publishing in the
Courier a series of sketches of that battle.—
In one of these sketches, he asserted that
Lieut.-,Col. Stone led the Regiment during
the fight at Cedar Mountain, and insinuated
that Colonel Chapman deserted his com-
mand, and that he had in his possession evi-
dence going still farther to the Colonel’s pre-
judice. Having confidence in the discriptiou
of this battle which We had received, we Dev-
er placed any reliance on Capt. Corliss state-
ment, thinking he was Mistaken, and would
correct the statement himself. But instead
of doing so he still claims the statement to
be true. This places the Capt. in a very un-
enviable position, as it has called out a card,
signed by every Commissioned Ojicer of the
the statement is pronounced a falsehood.—
The Officers say:
“We know that 001. Chapman, and no oth-
er man, led this regiment during the battle
of Cedar Mountain, Aug. 9th, 1862, and that
there and everywhere his conduct has been
such as to merit our highest respect and es-
teem.” . y
In addition, we have the testimony of
Lieut. Chinery who was in command of CO.
B, during the battle, and was taken prisoner,
just after Col. Chapman was. He states pos-
itively that Col. Chapman was in command
near him, spoke tO him, and saw him when
within 60 feet of the rebels, wave his sword,
and cheer on the Regiment; and when the
trap into which they had fallen was discov-
ered, he heard him give the order to Maj or
Blake to retreat, and says the Major had
hardly r’epe ted the order, when he fell dead.
The Fifth is a pet Regiment in this vicini-
ty, and we make the above notice Of this af-
fair in justice to Col. Geo. D. Chapman.
Lieut. Chinery having been exchanged,
left tO-day (Monday) to rejoin the Regiment.

W Fanny Fern, the distinguished au-
thoress, has lately attended a political or pa-
triotic public meeting, and with genuine
womanly curiosity wants to know “who pays
the bills? She says when she asked certain
gentlemen the question, they laughed at her.
If Fanny, “ or any other woman,” really
wants to know, we would advise her to ap-
ply to members of some “Volunteer Aid
Committee.” After she was satisfied on that
score, we should not be surprised to hear her
ask, in the simplicity of her innocence, “where
all the money goes to that is raised for such
purposes ?" But we would not advise any
one to ask the question.

The Dead Soldiers OfGreenwich
Among the many towns in Connecticut
which have contributed largely, and suf-
fered severely, .in their sons, sent to the
defence of the National Government and
Union in this War against secession, the
old town of Greenwich deserves honora-
ble mention.
In company I, Of the 10th Regiment,
C. V., which formed part Of Foster’s Bri-
gade, in Burnside’s Expedition, (which
was exposed to the perils of a tempestu-
ous voyage to Hatteras Inlet, then close-
ly confined on shipboard—first from the
time of their embarkatiou at Annapolis,
on the 5th of January to the 8th of Feb-
ruary, when they fought the battle Of
Roanoke Island, then from the 10th of
February to the 13th March, when they
were engaged in the conflict Of' N ewbern,
—during which period they suffered so
much from. being cooped and cramped, in
inaction and exhaustion, that we wonder
at the spirit with which they fought and
conquered) in that well-organized com-
pany were three young men of the name
Of Mead; DANIEL MERRITT MEAD, Esq,
the captain Of the company, son of Ed-
ward Mead, Tnonas R. MEAD, the 2nd
Lieutenant, son of 001. Thomas Mead,
and HENRY H. MEAD, son of Sanford
Mead.
These young men were neighbors and
friends, who had grown up together from
childhood, all members of the Congrega-
tional Church, of which Rev. J. H. Lins-
ley, D. D., is pastor.
Soon after the battle Of Newborn, the
honored career,of Henry was closed by
fever, and his body was brought home to
be buried. Daniel Merritt Mead, who
had been promoted to be Major of the
Regiment, was struck down soon after;
by the same disease. He lingered in the
Hospital until about the first of Septem-
ber, when he was placed on board the
steamer, arrived at home on the 5th, and
died on the 19th. The funerals of these
young men were attended by a great
concourse of citizens.
Thomas was early transferred to 00.
G., in the same Regiment, in which he
was appointed lst Lieutenant, and then
Captain. This company was made up in
good part from the towns of Darieu and
New Canaan, and was first commanded
by Capt. Isaac L. Hoyt, of Stamford.
He died at an early period of the cam-
paign, and his body was brought home
for interment. On the 19th day Of Sep-
tember,.the next day after his promotion,
Capt. Mead was ordered with his compa-
ny, in connection with Company E., of
the same Regiment, to Washington, N.
0.. to hold a fort erected at that place,
Of which, it would seem, be was placed in
command. Soon his health began to give
way ; and on the 25th Of October he sank
to his long sleep. His body arrived at
his home on the 7th of November, and
was buried on the 10th, very near those
Of his comrades in arms. Hls funeral
drew together a large congregation. The
discourse on the occasion was delivered
by Rev. S. B. S. BISSELL, at the united
request Of the family and the pastor of
the deceased.
Captain Mead was a fine specimen of
the Christian Soldier. He was early
trained in the Sabbath School, in which
he was long a teacher. He united with
the Church at the age Of 14 ; and was
ever faithful and consistent in both these
relations—and as a christian he won the
confidence and love of his men. Lieut.
Benj. L. Graves says Of him :-—“ He was-
dearly loved by us all. He was ever
ready for duty, and was, in my opinion,
the best drilled Officer in the Regiment.
His character was above reproach ; and
we shall never forget the example and
counsels that his daily life held up to us
all.” Before the conflict Of Roanoke Is-
land, Capt. Mead wrote :-——“I hope to
do my duty on the field Of battle, and if
I die I hope for salvation from eternal
wrath through the blood of J esus." On
another occasion he wrote :—-“ I have no
regrets that I volunteered in the cause of
Truth, Justice and Humanity. Ifiny life
is required on the altar of my country’s
good, I am ready."
Captain Mead was 26 years of age.
Since his burial the body of another
Greenwich soldier has been brought
home’—3Cllpt. BENSON, of ‘Co. I,fof the
17th Regim’t of Connecticut Volunteers.
He also died of fever, at Washington, D.

pedition under command of Gen. Weitzcl.
Our forces encountered the enemy in con-
siderable strength at a place called Lab-

official account of the affair we publish.
Two hundred of the enemy were killed,
wounded and taken prisoners, and one
piece of artillery captured. The rebels,
were pursued-in the direction of Berwiek’s
Bay, where Gov. Moore was supposed to
be. The 12th and 13th Ct. Regiments
were a part of the expedition ; they did

Gen. Burnside has issued a general or-
der dividing the army under his command
into three grand divisions, named respec-
lively the Right, Left and Center Grand
Divisions. The first, consisting of the
Second and Ninth Corps, will be com-
manded by Gen. Sumner; the second
consisting Of the First and Sixth Corps,
will be commanded by Gen. Franklin,
and the third, consisting of the Third and
Fifth Corps, will he commanded by Gen.
Hooker. In addition to these there will
be a corps of Reserve, consisting of the
Eleventh Corps and such other troops as
may hereafter be assigned to it, under
command of Gen Sigel.
The Savannah Republican of the 5th
says it has generally been resolved on,
both by the army and citizens, to defend
that city; to yield possesiou to the inva-
ders only when its walls shall have been
battered down, and nobody left to dispute
theireutrance. . Gov. Brown renews the
call for negroes to complete fortifications.

Union Victory in the West.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12, 1862.
The following was received at the
headquarters of the army to-dayz—
LAGRANGE, Tenn. Nov. 11, 1862.
To Maj-Gen. Halleck, General-in- Chief:
The following dispatch has just been
received from General Davis, at Colum-
bus:—
“The expedition commanded by Brig.-
Gen. Ransom has proved a great suc-
cess. It came up with Col. Woodward’s
rebel force, 800 strong, near Garnetts-
burgh, and ,after a. short engagement,
killed sixteen of his men, among them
one Captain and two Lieutenants, and
taking twenty-five prisoners. all their
horses and fifty mules, a large number of
arms and equipments, half the camps of
Woodward’s men, including his own,
routing the whole concern and driving
them out of the State of Kentucky. Our
loss was three killed and seven wounded.”

Successful Operations in Texas.
The navy department has received vol-
uminous dispatches from Rear Admiral
Farragut, dated Pensacola bay, October
13th. After stating that Galveston, Cor-
pus Christi ahd Sabine City and the ad-
jacent waters are now in our possession,
he says:-—"A short time ago I sent down
on the coast of Texss acting volunteer
Lieut. J. W. Kitridge with the bark Ar-
thur, the little steaner Sachem, and a
launch, with which force he said he could
take Corpus Christi and the waters adja-
cent, whence we heard of so many small
craft running to Havana. He succeeded
very well, took the places, made several
captures, and compelled the enemy to
burn several of their vessels. But on one
occasion, venturing on shore with his
small boat, he was surrounded and taken
prisoner and carried to Houston, where
they paroled him on condition that he
should go north and not serve until regu-
ularly exchanged. I next sent the Ken-
sington, acting master Cracker command-
ing, with the Rachael Leaman and ‘a
launch with a howitzer, to Sabine Pass.—
He too succeeded well. He found at the
bar one of the mortar schooners, Henry
James, acting master Pennington com-
manding, whom he invited to take part
with him, which he did, and according to
acting master Crocker’s report performed
his duty with great credit. They took
the fort and are still going ahead finely,
having taken several prizes. one of which
arrived here yesterday with dispatches.
I next sent commander Reushaw, with
the gunboats Ocrasco, Harriet Laue,
Clifton and Westfield, to take Galveston,
which he did in the shortest time and
without the loss of a man. It appears
that the first shot from the OraSco ex-
ploded directly over the heads of the men
at and around the big gun, their main reli-
ance, and the enemy left. A flag of
truce was hoisted and the preliminaries
arranged for a surrender, which took
place on the 9th inst. Corpus Christi,
and the adjacent waters are still held by
the Sachem and other small vessels.”
THE LATEST FROM OUR FORCES.
By advices received from our squadron
on the coast of Texas it appears that a
couple of vessels will remain at Galves-
ton. The Others have gone on towards
the Rio Grande. Up to October 20th,
no troops had arrived to follow up the re-
cent naval successes, aud the rebels hold
the country arOund Galveston, and fre-
quently make lincursions into the city at
night.

In the course of the evening he introduced
an Esquimaux family he had brought

The wife is the best Esquimaux interpre-

most confident belief that, having traced
the fate of Frobisher,s missing boat’s

rector Of Trinity Church, New York city,
died on Friday week Of disease of the
heart, in the seventy-six year of his age.
He was called to Trinity parish in 1811,
and was probably more widely known
than any other clergyman of that city.
In the year 1860 he preached his semi-

the singularly appropriate text: “I am
Old and gray headed, and I have walked
before you from my childhood to this

A general advance in the price of news-

war. On some articles of prime neces-

equal to thirty per cent. In addition to
this the Government taxes them three
percent. on the paper they use, three

three per ce'nt. upon their income, if they

l Liquidating department The details of
the affair are as yet shrouded beneath the
impenetrable veil of official sceresy, but
enough have transpired to indicate the
extent of the dcfaleation and point out
some of its participators.
Some few days ago a. clerk in the liq-
uidating department was arrested for de-
stroying valuable books of record in his
department. It is alleged that thisfact
led to the investigation of the affairs of
his Office, and that it resulted in the dis-
covery that wrong entries had been made
in numerous instances, and that the books
were destroyed probably with the View
of concealing the crime.
The search for evidence continued and,
as each thread Of testimony was taken
up and followed, it led the inquirer through
the ramificatiOn Of the customs and point-
ed directly tO the agency of other clerks.
At present sixteen persons employed in
the liquidating department have been
suspended and the investigation still pro-
greases. As to the amount involved it
cannot be stated with accuracy. Sever-
al sums varying from $150,000 to $250,-
000 are mentioned, but none with a suf-
ficient degree Of accuracy to warrant them
being taken as positive statements. The
facts it is presumed, will be made public
in a few days—Com. Adv.
W Speaking of the frauds the Tribune
says that one of the principal entry clerks,
who has been fifteen years in office, is under
arrest, and several others are suspended.—
Every one of these clerks is an old Demo-
cratic employee, kept in Office (contrary to
the usages of their own party) by the pres-
ent Collector.

13‘ the Tribune states that an officer
in one Of the Rhode Island Batteries,
while at Fitz John Porter’s headquarters
on Wednesday, remarked, “after this we
may as well give up, and acknowledge the
independence of the Rebels.” Half an
hour later he was surprised by a summons
to Burnside’s headquarters. He admit-
ted he made the remark, but stated that
he did so under excitement, and said more
than he meant. “You have now an Op-
portunity to retract it,” said Burnside;
“but if I were not persouually acquainted
with your antecedents and your loyalty,
you would have been instantly dismissed.
Neither you nor any other Officer, high
or low, can utter such sentiments and re-
main in the army.” The Ofl’ender made
a full retraction and apology.

COTTON PRODUCING IN ILLINOIs.—We
learn that the experiment, made last sea-
son, of raising cotton in Illinois, has prov-
ed a complete success. It is estimated that
twenty thousand bales were produced,
and the staple is pronounced equal to the
best Tennessee cotton. Wherever enough
seed Was sown, the yield was sufficient to
net to the cultivators a much larger prof-
it thau wheat. One field of five acres was
declared by a Tennessee planter to be as
thrifty as any he had ever seen in his own
state. Besides, it has been found that
free white labor is no more expensive
than slave labor. If the seed can be pro-
cured, the product in Illinois, the next
year, will be immensely-increased.

THE WALLED Laue—The wonderful
Walled Lake is situated in the centre of
Wright County, Iowa. The shape of the
lake is oval. It is about two miles in
length and one wide, in the widest part,
comprising of an area of some 2,000 acres.
The wall inclosiug this area is over six
miles in length, and is built or composed
of stones varying in size from boulders of
two tuns weight down to small pebbles,
and is intermixed with earth. The top
of the wall is uniform in height above the
water in all parts, which makes its height
to vary on the land side according to the
uneVeness of the country, from twO'to
twelve feet in height. III the highest
part the wall measures from ten to twelve
feet thick at the base, and from four to
six at the top, including each way, out-
ward aud inward. There is no outlet,
but the lake frequently rises and flows
over the top of the wall. The lake at the
deepest part is about ten feet in depth,
and abounds with large and fine fish. such
as pike, pickerel, bass, pel't

are plenty upon its bosom. At the north
end are two small groves Of about ten
acres each, no timber being near. It has
the appearance Of having been walled by
human hands, and looks like a huge for-
tress, yet there is no rock in that vicini-
‘ty for miles around. There are nO visi-
ble signs Of the lake being the result of
volcanic action, the bed being perfectly
smooth and the border of regular form.—
The lake is seventeen miles from Boon
River on the west, eight miles from Iowa
on the east, and about one hundred miles
from Cedar Rapids. It is one of the
great wonders Of the West, and has al-
ready been visited by hundreds of curi-

Gen. Foster’s Expedition.
The expedition of Gen. Foster in North
Carolina seems to have closed. The
troops were at Willinmston 0n the 8th
to march to Plymouth on the 9th and
embark for Newberu. The Object of the
expediton was to capture two rebel regi-
ments near Plymouth. Owing tO the in-
elficiency of one of our Colonels, acting
brigadier, the expedition was delayed
twenty four hours, and the rebels escaped.
The expedition, as We have stated, went
within eleven miles of Tarboro, and sent
out reeonnoissances to within five miles
Of that place. The rebels were found to
have massed a large force there, and to be
receiving large reinforcements. There
was a great swamp in front of us, and it
was not deemed prudent to attack ; our
troops, therefore, retreated without loss
to VVilIiamston.

Surrender of Harper’s Ferry.
The Commission appointed to investi-
gate the circumstances attending the
surrender of Harper’s Ferry has report-
ed. The report is somewhat lengthy, but
makes some strange revelations, and will
repay perusal. The character of the Olli-
cers composing that commission, Gene-
rals Hunter, Cadwalder and Augur, Maj.
Don Piatt, Capt. Ball and Col. G. Holt,
give a weight and importance to the re-
port not to be overlooked.
The report deals severely with Col.
Miles, and speaks Of the conduct of Gen-
erals Wool and McClellan. in connection
with the Harper’s Ferry affair, in this
wise :
It is not necessary to accumulate evi-
dence from the mass that throughout
scarcely affords one fact in contradiction '
to what each one establishes, that Col.
Miles was incapable Of conducting a de-
fense so important as was this of Harper’s
Ferry. The Commission would not have
dwelled upon this painful subject were it
not for the fact that the officer who pla-
ced this incapable in command should
share in the responsibility, and in the
Opinion of the Commission Major-Gene-
ral Wool is guilty to this extent of a
grave disaster, and should be censured for
his conduct.
The Commission had remarked freely
on Col. Miles, and old Officer who has
been killed in the service of his country
and it cannot, from any motives of pel-
icacy, refrain from eensureiug those in
high command, when it thinks such cen-
sure deserved. The General-in Chief
has testified that General McClellan,'af-
ter having received orders to repel the
enemy invading the State of Maryland,
marched only six-miles, per day, on an
average, when pursuing this invading eu-
emy.
The General-in-Chief also testifies, that
in his opinion Gen. McClellan could and
should have relieved and protected Hat.
per’s Ferry, and in this opinion the Com-
mission fully concur.
