Beecher on the President, Seward
and McClellan.
The editor of the Independent, in a leading ar
ticle, gives full-length portraits of three con
spicuous men :
The same fatal influence at. the center .par
al red the Cabinet, tied up the President, and
laid a spell upon the army. What that influ
ence was, and by whom wielded, it will be the
business of the future to search out. Another
chapter is to be added to the history of re
nowned folly and illustrious weakness.
BECRETAILT SEWARD.
• Then, it may be, some Macauley will leave
to us such a portrait as this : Chief in latent
influence was a man of Ideas which had no phy
sical consequence s. An optimist ; not without
sagacity in merely intellectual problems, hut
foolish in affairs. He had the very conceit of
hope. So certain was he of the favorable ten
dencies of great natural causes, that he scarcely
deedied it needful to exert special volition un
der them. He was wise in ideas and foolish in
things Whatever could be settled by thinking
he managed skillfully. But it was his infatua
tion to suppose that all things could be managed
by thinking. He was an Idealist rich in the
top of his brain ; lean and feeble in the bottom.
So, all matters that lay upon the earth he
treated as if they were shadows, that came and
went, without human volition, by the move
ments of the sun. His realities began where
common men's ended, in the realm of mere
ideas He was utterly devoid of the instincts
of physical forces. He couldhate but could not
fight. Without wisdom in direction of practi
cal affairs, he had such acuteness, ingenuity,
and mind force, that his criticisms and judg
ments weighed much in the shaping of other
men's practical, politics. His inordinate hope
fulness lit up the future with perpetual bright
ness, and led him to frequent prophecies. And,
like all uninspired prophets, the failure of his
predictions abated no jot of confidence in his
provision, and he still covered old disappoint
ments with new promises. He was at once the
zealot and the coward of the Administration.
PRIMIDAINT LDIOOLN
By the side of such a man was placed a man
remarkable in not a few respects. Genial, kind
to a fault, but, above all, with strong instincts
of justice, with strong but hoinely sense, and
with a reasoning faculty unusual in its methods,
slow and odd, yet at length reaching broad re
sults, and generally sound ones. Well versed
in local politics, but untrained in national ad
ministration he became the President of the
United States divided, at a. time that required
the utmost human sagacity joined to firmness
and decision. He was both firm and facile, ob
stinate yet changeable. Resisting persuasion
and reasonings with singular , constancy, he was
11, is, in certain maids, to accept sudden and
unripe advice, and to precipitate rash action:—
Mistakes arising from these causes, served not
so much, through experience, to produce saga
city, as to render him fearful of other mistakes,
and so, of following any counsel. Upon such
a mind the confident counsels of an optimist,
whose future was all knight, who was insensible
to physical reality, who found little difficulty
in the administration of mere ideas, could not
fail to be great. When, in perilous ti.t.es, a
President is slow from conscientious timidity,
his worst counselor is one who, from excess of
hope, tells him that there is no need of action,
I and that waiting is wisdom ! While caution
and conceit were maintaining feebleness at the
centre,
there might have yet been much pro
gress, had the armies of the Union been led by
enterprising generals.
It is one of, the extraordinary events of the
times, that two generals, to whose hands chiefly
the campaign year was committed, were by Int
-1 ture and sympathy fitted to command, under
an administration where irresolute honesty took
counsel of indolent hopefulness.
MINERAL m'auILLAN
"General M'Clellan has secured for himself a
place in history. But it will be by his acciden
tal association with great events, rather than
by any important influence he has had in pro
ducing them. He is a man of large perceptive
and moderate reflective intellective intellect.
He is without genius or even moderate intuition.
He. digs out his conclusions as laboriously as
i ota' is Ang from mines. He received a thorough
military education. And whatever could be
accomplished by studiousness and untiring
industry no man could better accomplish than
he: But he sees nothing and knows nothing,
till it is 'educed to the level of his practical
reason. Especially, he lacked sense and intui
tion of human forces. The wise use of physi
cal matter makes an engineer. The wise use
of men makes the general. McClellan is only
an engineer:
"But, such a man was competent to great
results bad right dispositions and sagacious
political faith come to his help. But he was
possessed by an imperative caution that work- .
ed sometimes toward irreeolution and some
times toward obstinacy, but never toward dar
ing enterprise.
"His anxiety
.to be fully prepared was
morbid. Ile was never yet ready. There was
always something yet to be dune before he
deemed it wise to venture. He heaped up
preparations. He had never enough men,
never enough arms, or elothing, or munitions.
The whole east drained toward his camp.
And when, more than any general that ever
commanded on this Continent, he had at his
command'every resource of the nation, he was
'still unready." At length, when patience was
worn out, and the President, the Cabinet, and
the whole country clamored for activity, he
felt the possible dangers before him, even more
than all the pressures of Government and
country behind him, and demanded more men
And more means, complaining that he was
hampered and thwarted.
"A log of wood lying upon the spring grass
is mightier, by its dead pressure against the
hidden roots, than all the lawg of growth.
And so a respectable engineer, but inert gene
ral, lay upon the army like a spell of death,
or of motionless enchantment. The same
fate that gave to the arwy a McClellan on the
east of the Alleghenies, raised up a Buell on
the west. It is difficult to say which excelled
in practical torpidity, Buell or McClellan.
Whichever figure one contemplates, it seems
Impossible that another should excel him in
laborious uselessness. Both were insatiable
in demands, and both wasted immense resour
ces without any important advantage. If there
is anything yet to be exhibited of military in
sufficiency, some new men must be imagined,
createdexpresaly for it; for every conceivable
part of insatiable demand and miserly reten
tion of forces and means has been exhausted by
the great Oriental Via inertias, and the Occiden
tal Via Inertias.
MISCELLANEOUS
"THE SUM OF TUN WHOLR MAITSB., " as to
Gen. McClellan, is thus ably and well stated
by the Cincinnati Gazelle:
No one pretends that our milit ary operations
under Gen. McClellan have been any check or
obstacle to the establishment of the Southern
Confederacy. His noisiest advocates do not
pretend that they ever would le, if be had all
the resouices of the people, for they a'lege the
result of his performance as proof that is is im
possible to conquer the rebellion, and therefore
it must be settled by our submission.
In fact, so far from Gen. McCiellan's opera
tions being any obstacle to the establishment
of the rebel confederacy, they have aided it by
giving it the prestige of military sucoess—the
only thing ,that will establish a new nation in
the eyes of foreign governments, It is that
which caused Mr. Gladstone to say to a British
audience, "the southern leaders have created a
nation." The Iseult of his military operations
has given dignity to a rebellion which at the
beginning bad no cause has given the
Southern Confederacy an appearance of gape
rimity in the eyes of the world, by an exhibi
tion of imbecility on our part, with greatly
superi .r means. It has done nothing but build a
founds , ion for the rebel Confederacy. A con
tinuance of the same management could have
resulted only in the triumph of the rebellion,
the dissolution of the nation, and such an
exhibition of military impotence on the part of
the north that it would not be entitled to a
national character, and woad not command
the respect of foreign governm nts sufficient' to
protect it from foreign aggression, nor of the
respect of its own people to save it from further
dissolution Those who would have General
McClellan retained from partizan considers
dims, would do it to this end. The only way,
of escape from it was by his removal.
CONDITION ON RIOHNOND.—A 'letter from Rich
mond, in a Charleston paper, says :
" Richmond is now worse than Naples, worse
than B:dtimore was when Winter Davis was the
Wilkes of the Plug Ugly swell mob of that
lawless city. No one thinks of going into the
Cimmerian streets after nightfall without arms.
A large and well organised gang of cutthroats
has taken the town.' They lie in wait at
almost every corner,
well provided with slung
shots, billies, brass knuckles and all the other
devilish impliments of mischief which the city
highwayman uses to disable his victims, and
they attack everybody that walks alone, foten
times gentlemen when attended by ladies.
That they are not found out Is matter of grave
reproach to the city police. But this corps is
so small that they can do little for the protec
tion of a city spread over 911 immense surface
of ground, and without a light from one end of
it to the other."
A MONKEY Sum. —A few evenings since,
Dan Rice's big monkey escaped unseen from
his confinement, at tithed, Erie county, and
started up street iu quest of adventure. He
Stopped at Dr. Ely's re4ience, which he took
possession of immediately, driving the family
out and causing considerable consternation.
A babe lying in the cradle was badly bitten in
the fool, and Mrs. Ely was also bitten in the
hand. When the doctor arrived, he found the
monkey playing with a lighted lamp. Jocko
was quickly knocked over and secured.

us by her superior speed. The same night we
captured the rebel steamer A. B. Sigur, She is
a small boat about the size of the Fanny Nat
chez, and is very useful.
" Yesterday (November 3) all the gunboats
went up Bayou Team, f and the enemy about
fourteen miles from here, and passed above the
obstructions they had sunk in the T. the. The
boats engaged th,ln for two hours. and drove
them off including the Cotton. The Kinsman
bore the brunt of it and received fifty-four
shots in her upper works and hull, and bad one
man killed, (a soldier of the 21st Indiana) and
five wounded.
"The pilot, John ' bad his leg badly
shattered, and died to-day from the effects of
amputation. Captain Nolt, on the Molina,
received three shots, and had two soldiers of
the 21st ILdiasa killed while working the guns,
and one man badly wounded.
" The Diana received three shots. but had no
person hurt. She will have to be hauled out,
as her stein is shot away." The Calhoun receiv
ed eight shots, but fortunately they did no
material damage.
"Capt. Wiggins fought his ship nobly. He
was to such a poetic,' that he received all the
fire from the artillery on the shore, and at the
same time bad the Cotton playing upon him.
He, however, drove the artillery away, anti put
several shots into the Cotton.
" The whole rebel force was there, number
ing between three and four thousand- men,
with, it is said, seventy field-pieces. It is re
ported to-day that we did them a great deal of
damage, and that the Cotton is sunk. They
had thrown up a mud f ,rt on this side, but
evacuated it on our arrival. An attempt was
made to remove the obstructions, but without
seems; but I think that when Gen. Weitzel
arrives, so as to afford protection from the sharp
shooters on the banks, we cm do so.
"Thu enemy destroyed one thousand hogs
heads of sugar, a lot of molasses, and also burnt
ninety eight cars and steam engines.
"The Cotten is iron-cased, and did some ex
celkint shooting. She mounts one long 52
pounder, four 24 pounders, and two 6 pounders,
rifled suns. The iron-casing on the Kinsman
and Diana turned the shot beautifully.
"Lieut. Buchanan has not returned from
another trip up the Techo, with the Estrella.
He had three men killed by a shot. The Cotton
was there. They had a battery on each bank,
but he succeeded in driving them all oft I
think the Cotton is estimated, as our shell
glano d •off. She was on fire once. We could
plainly see our shot strike her, but she fights
bows on."
