by eight regiments of infantry„five hun

artillery, of guns each. The position
was finally carried by a most gallant
charge of our men; width enabled us to
gain the rear of all the batteries between
this point and NewbeYn, which was done
by the rapid advance of the entire force
up the main road and railroad.
'The naval fleet meantime was pushing
its war up .the river, tin-Tying their shot
into the liras in front of us, the

away blankets, knapsacks, arms, ate.,

and destroyed the draw of the latter, thus
preventing further pursuit and causing a
detention in occupying, the town by our

mand. But the fortune of Gen. McClellan.
is not a singular one. The , great Burke
has,truly said that "censure is the tax a
man pays to . the public for being eminent."'
Even the noble Mid unequalled Washing
ton, in the darkest days . of the Revolution,
was assailed by malignant envy and de

no sagacious critic think, any comparisons

We have judged Gen. McClellan not as a
Democrat, or a Republican; We have
only . recently learned that he is _Called a

succeeded in driving them back; the ques

is that he did not attack and l'ent, them

Head quarter+ of the Army of the Potomac, I
Fairfax C. IL Va., March 14, L.5.11:2,
Soldiers of the Army of the Potomac;—
For admill time I have kept you inactive,
but not withouva purpose. You were to
be disciplined, -armed and instructed.
The formidable artillery you now ktve had
to be created. Other armies were to
'Move and accomplish Pertain results. I
held you back, that von might give the
death blow to the rebellion that has 'dis
tracted this once happy country. The
patience you have.sbowu,'and your confi
dence in your General, are worth a dozen
Victories.
These preliminary results
,are now Ae
complish6d: I fe - el that the patient labors
Of many .months have produced their fruit.
The Army of the Potomac - is now a real
army = magnificent in material, admirable
in discipline and instruction, excellently
equipped and armed. :Your .commanders
are'all that I would - wish.
The moment for action has arrived, and
I know that I can trust in you to
.save our
country. As Pride through your rank's,
I see in your faces the sure :prestige . of
victory ; I feel that you will, do whatever
Tusk of you. . • .
-The' period of inaction has passed. I
Will bring you face to face With Relieli
and only pray that God may defend the
i 'right.
In whatever direction you may-more—
however strange my actions may • appear,
I to you—ever bearlu . mind that my line is
linked with yours, and that all I do is,to
brinn. you Where I know you wish to he
1 •the decisive battle field.' It is my
I business to place you there. I 'am to
I watch over you, as a. parent over his child
en, and you know that your General loves.
von from the depth of his- heart.
It-shall be my care, as it ever has been
I to gain success with the Ipst possible loss,
but I know that, if it is necessary,you will
willingly folloW mo to our g,raves for our
righteous' cause.
..
God -smiles upon us.. 'Victory attends
- - us: Yeti iyould not have you to think
that our aim is to De attained without a
manly ,struggle. _ I will not disguise it
from you. You have brave foes to epcoun
ter4reetnen.well worthy of the. steel you
,rise. so well. I shall demand of you
great„ . herote exertions-rapid and" long
marches, desperate combats, privations,
peehaps. , We will share all these togeth.
and when this sad. war is over, we will
all or,
return to Our homes, and feel that we
can ask no higher honor than the proud
consciousness that 3ve belonged to the

- far We recently remarked that one of
our Republican exchanges defended Gen.
McClellan from the attacks of the Tribune
and other Northern . disunion organs. We
to-day- copy a,. specimen ofsuch•defence—
a patriotic article from the Binghamton'
Republican, edited by that staunch Repub
lican, -Wm. Stuart, Esq.-, the Postmaster.
We desire McClellan's very many bitter
enemies hereabouts to notice that. this pa
triotic member . of their party brands them
as Traitors, and .insists that they are g,iv-
Mg aid and comfort to the enemy. HaVe
we.a RepubliCan editor in McClellan's own
State, "possessed of patriotism or manhood
enough . to defend the. General-in-Chief of
the Union army from the treacherous foe?
A Poiacv.—lt,seems to us the Repub
lican party is rather in want of a policy
just now. Our leading men have no Hied
views as to the treatment of this rebellion,
that is, with some marked exceptions--
and the party is drifting along, allowing
the Democracy tO make what issues on
us they please. In this there is nothing
but folly. In this,late we must - •have
sonic positive policy, aid it is far hettei
to have an interior one than tobe simply
defending ourselves against Democratic
attack.—Seianton Republican.
We admire the frankness of the above,
and will he equally' frank in a word of ad
vice. Let your party copy Deniocratie
example,-liz: Insist that the existing war
shall be v=igorously proseepted for 'the res
t•oration of the Union under the Constitu
tion, until rebellion yields, - the leaders are
hung, and the delude masses bail the old
flag its their protection. • Meantime, re
sist the money stealers and the disunion
abolitionists: Thus help restore the Un
ion and preserve the Constitution.. Who
accepts our policy ? and who does not ?
We await responses.
;7W — Wendell Phillips, the infidel ad.:
vocate of negro egnalitY, who ealis the

Letter from John W. Granger:
ALEXANDRIA, VA.,
February 22,' mu 2.. )
FRIEND FAVUOT take ,this oppor
tunity to address you a few:Jines:
health continues good, although Lin com
mon with ink fellow soldiers, am consid
erably exposed._
A whiter in the south i* quite different
from a winter in the north. ,We have a
great deal of rain and snow,bnt no sleigh.
ing: Some nights it freezes quite haul,
but generally thaws the-next flay. The
soil being loamy and readily diflbsible an
water, we have- mud: constantly.
We'remained in camp near Washing
ton till February 19th. At 2 o'elo - ck, a.
nh,' we were awoke by the sound of the
bugle. We then made ready. With all
possible despatch to march,- order for
which had been given the previous day.
At 4:30, a. m., wo ate our .breakfast, and
at .6 o'clock, our knapsacks, haversacks,
canteens, 44:c.wcre shift and we stepped
into line ready fori a start. We marched
throngh the city ?if Washington, down
I'enn'a Avenue to Long Bridge, and
crossed over to the Virginia side of the
Potomac.. The Mud was very deep and
our loads heavy, many of us carrying GO
pounds each. About ten o'clock,-a.
we sere ordered to halt, stack arms, un
slinglnapsacks, all& take some refresh-.
ments, which we itAil provided ourselves
with, before leaving camp. -After a halt
hour spent in eating and resting, -we,
formed into line and moved for our new
camp which is about . two and one-half
miles southwest from Alexandria, the not
ed.city of secesh, which is consecrated by
the blbod of -the gallant anti patriotic
Ellsworth. It is now occupied with our
troor., dvery strongly fortified, .
Nir e.arrived at Our place di' destination
at 3 o'cloCk, p. IM The ground was - veryl
muddy, and we were extremely
The next business was to, lay out our camp ;
and•pitch'our tents, which was *no small
job you may dCpead. , A little after dark
we bail our tents tip. Aftertakinga Cold
bit we prepaid flown in the I
mud, first spileAding, our blankets on the
ground and using our knapsacks for a
pil
low. With feet And clothes wet and mud
dv, w.e spent the night as best we c'imild.l
For my part .I did not- rest. very well.—
The next morning the 69th Regiment '
Pa. Volunteers moved and we got
,boards:
and boxes, enough of them to. lay a, floor
in out' tent. The way, we backed lumber
ivas a caution. 'Although we were hun-
gry and tired ; and the rain poured . down,'
we did not stop till we bad a good floor.
We have our quarters in good condition
now, add - feel ourselves at home—well'
contented. •
• Within forty rods of our camp is the
mansion of a brOther- of the notorious
Mason, who is kept a close prisoner in his
own house, • sentinels being stationed
ardund'him, to prevent his communicat
ing with his brother Rebels.
By thelide•of per camp lies a man
who was burned Out by the . - Rebyls last
fall. He then came inside of " our lines
forproteCtion, and now seems impatient
to avenge his wrOngs.. He sayi he has
an "old score of I:vrongs that he means- to
wipeout mien our army , advances on
Bull Run." —"I.
