Dear Post; Prpsuming that you would
be'pleased to learn a true expreesi6n'ot the
feelings of this old regiment, (G3d P. V.-)
and.’.in .foot ‘of the 1 whole Army of ihe
;£?t?mac> I ;Bhall be, pleased, td give you
the thoughts of an enlisted man, arising
from eighteen months’ experience among
my comrades, perhaps heightened by the
memory of a dozen gory fields. .
Von are aware; dear sir, that the paper 8
tell na that the Army of the Potomac ha a
entirely recovered its imrale, partially lost
by Burnside’s “reconnoissance in force”
across the river; that the mad campaign
only added vigor to the great, heart of the
army, and that wears all burning to meet
the detested fue as soon as the elements
permit.
Now, sir ; all this is an unmitigated false
hood. _ This army, although as brave and
patriotic as ever trod on earth, repudiates
it. It has no snch feelings and never gave
vent to snch expressions. A few officers
in high rank are not to be taken as an
exponent of the true feelings of an army,
for to utetr extended vision the.horrors of
a battle are truly splendid, for in snob a
case never waa adage moretrnethan “dis
tance lends enchantment to the’view.”
No good soldier haß any desire to meet
the enemy again, and I have strong doubts
if any. other' has. But a brave soldier is
brave man; no matter what eircum-'
I stances surround him, and, be will crosi
tbs river and march up to the deadly bat
terics of Bebeldom with ns much prompt
ness as ever. • Bat what heart have we for
dome this? Have we net met the enemy
no lisa than twelve times and fought him
with' unexampled bravery and tenacity,
pouring out onr blood like water and
! sacrificing our friends that we value next
to our country ? I reply, nothing but
honor. Suppose we have doubts about oiir
ability .to crush the rebellion V Suppose
We feel timid in expressing those doubts.
I ask who has a better right to know, and
knowing speak, it. . . • . -
I shall not prolong this correspondence
at present, but if wished for I will con

ual Republican journal, recently publish
ed'an article on military operations in the
Southwest, in which the Commercial, af
ter reviewing the position of affairs, comes
to the conclusion that we need one “who
can perfect the orginization ofourtorces,”
and who can übb the well tip the
bayonet,” and “bring into. service our
superior physicial endurance and our pre
ponderance in artillery.” The following
is the conclusion of its article:— National

‘•Looking upon this matter from a

subject that has done much to dissipate
the prejudices that for a while pfeyajiledj

GEN. MoCIIEiaiAM AND GEN.
It witl be remembered by our regular
readers that in the! National Intelligencer
ofDeceinberothwe inserted Glen. Hal
leek’s official mode to the Secre
tary of War, pjnder date of November
28th, “of military [operations since
23d of jJnly last, Jyhenf|-ifi' cbmplihrice
with the President’! ordef of fply tub,
he assumed cqmmhnd-pf the army as
General-in-Chief.’'lj" ’-' I V'
In that' report nthe .. General-in-Chief,
after alluding to a change in the projected
operations of Gen. McClellan, held the
followinglanguage : .f | H -
“What caused hi n to views,
or what his plan of‘campaign teas, lam
ignorant] for about this" time he ceased to
communicate with the id regard to his
operations, -sending hiz reports directly to
the President”
Commenting on this point in the same
number of -the Intelligencer containing
General Hallech’s report, we wrote as
follows: % '• 0~ "
“Itappearsthat towards the dose of
Gen. McClellan’s military) administration
he ceased altogether to correspond with
the General-in- Chief, and\ sent all his re-:
ports directly to the President. Ihis, we
must say ,' strikes us an extraordinary pro-,
seeding, considering that Gen. Halleck
was the General in- Chief, and ae such had,
in .his own words, ‘assumed the command
of the army.’ Why he. should have been
shorn for a time of his just prerogatives
with regafd to the Army of the Potomac
does not appear, though the irregular
nature of the proceeding tails, we think,
for some explanation. If he is to .be held;
responsible as General inlChiefh&shoul'd:
bathe General-in-Chief in. fact and mot in
name, continuously and not at intervals.’’
Such were the comments we -thought
proper to make in the month ofi last De
cember on this disclosure |of what seemed
to us a military impropriety, encouraged
by the President onithe part of General
McClellan at the expense iof the General
in-Chief. ‘ For it appeared that the Presi
dent, availing himself of his prerogatives
as Commander-in-Chief, did not think it
even necessary to commdnicate 1 to Gaft
Halleck the nature of the reports he re
ceived from the Command » of the Army
of the Potomac. I
At a later day, rathe Intelligencer of the
oth instant,we returned to the same topic,
(or the purpose of giving it a more elabor
ate discussion, ana jin at article on the
functions appropriate to the name and
style of the'office nominally held by Gen.
Halleck, we sought to sbo;wthe repeated
instances which evinced aj complete sub
ordination of the views of the Geheral-in-
Chief to those of the President in certain
matters which, from Iheif nature, would
have seemed rather to fall withinithe pro- 1
vince of Gen. Halleck.
So long aa the military character and
official dignity of Gen. Halleck were at
stake in this discussion the impropriety
to which we allnde passed)among oar co
temporaries without! obseijvation or com
ment. So far as we are aware, this jour
nal was the only one which signalized the
informality in question, and called for an
explanation. It does not appear that
General Halleck himself made any repre
sentations to the Secretary o( War or to
the President by way pf protest against
what he might have justly, regarded as a
degradation from jits legitimate pre
rogatives. i
A publication which will be found in our
report of the proceedings had iu the House
of Representatives on Tuesday evening
laat comes to shed more light on the mat
ter. It is presented in the) shape df a-let
ter addressed by Lieut. jGen. Winfield
Scott to Mr. Secretary Cameron, under
daW of October .4Lb, 18G1, while the former
Was nominally holding, the) office df Gen
brdl-in-‘Chief, but when, In jeertain instan
ces specified by Gen. Scott, hia legitimate
authority was disregarded by General
McClellan, not only, with the knowledge,
but with the consent lot the! President, the
Secretary of War, and BOtUe other mem
bers of the Cabinet, For itjis a partlof the
complaint of Gen. Scott,that McClellan had
' ‘hardly entered upon hia new duties when,
encouraged to communicate directly with
the President and certain fa embers of the
Cabinet, he in a fewjdays forgot that he
had any intermediate! commander, and has
now long prided himself jin treating me
with uniform neglect, running into disobe
dience of Orders." 11 !
No notice, so far as appears, was taken
by the President or Secretary of War of
the complaints thus madej by Gen. Scott,
thongh the latter had asked, “has, then, a
senior no corrective power over a junior
officer in case of such persistent neglect
and disobedience ?" Gen,) McClellan, we
are left to infer, cobtinned to make re
ports to “the President and certain Secre
taries with the concurrence) and support of
the Administration.
.In accordance, therefore, with the inti
mation-contained in the concluding part of
the letter of Gen. Scptt, now grst brought
to light, the veteran General-in-Chief,
three weeks after this protest, to wit, on
the 31st of October, tendered his resigna
tion, which was accented by the President,
who immediately apppiatedGen. McClel
lan to fill the vacancy created by Gen.
Scott's retirement fro)m the; office of Gen
eral-in-Chief. . j |
; Those who recur to) the period when this
transaction took place will remember with
whet pleasure the accession of General
McClellan to the chiefbommand was hail
ed by the country, especially by that class
who had Bneered at ( the illustrious Lieut.
General Seott„on the score pf hjs advanced
yenra and military prudence. The Presi
dent, in his annual message to Congress,
in the month- of December) following the
appointment of Gen. MoClelJon to the post
of General-in Chief, held the following
language:
1 Since yoar last adjournment, Lieuten
ant General Scott has retired from the
head of the army. Daring his long life
the nation has not been unmindful of his
merit; yet, on calling to mind how faith
fully, ably, and- brilßihfly he has served
the country, from a tune far back in our
history, when few of. the . now living had
been horn, and thenceforward continually,
i cannot but think we) are still hia debtors.
I snbmit, therefore, tor your consideration,
what, further mark of recognition is dne
to him, and to ourselves, ha . a grateful
people. J i
“With the retirement of Gen. Scott
came the Hxecntive dhty of appointing in
ms stead a Genetal-in- Chief for the Army.
it is a fortunatedreufastante thatneitM ay
tmcouncilnor country was there,‘ so fariHi
4%rmm ofiopiaibn.as to 1
mtptaper person tb-I>e selected: The re- J
tW n 9 Chfaf repeatedlyexprfssed his judg
ment in favor of GeneralMcCleUaii for
the position ; and in this the nation seemed
to give a unanimous. concyrre/iMC The
designation of General McClellan, is.
therefore, in a tonsidhrahle degree, the se
lection, of the country) as ..whir as of the
isxecntive; and hence there : is better
reason. tQ hope there will be giten him the
confidence aria cordial support thus, bu
fair implication, promised, land without
which he cannot, with' so full efficiency,'
sente the country.” j,. , ,
After paying this high tribute to Geu.
McClellan, the President immediately pro
ceeded to makethe to
thdconsiderations which had;justified the
consolidation of.. $e functions of-,Gen.
pfllellan as comumndertof the Atfay’-of
le potomae and those of the General-in
Chief. We quote front the message, as
follows ; s-1 r . j- -• | j |
“It haß been said that one bad general
is better than . two good ones; and the
saying is. true, if taken to mean no more
than that an arpiy is letter directed by a
single mind, though inferior, than by two
superior ones, atvarianceahd cross, mr

Variance andcross pniTioees” which it was'
Bought tb avoid by the retirement of Gen.
Scott and the appointment of Gen. Mc-
Clellan in his stead. And to this ap
pointment it appears "Gen. Soott gave his
asßeut and approval. President Lincoln
expressly Eays, sin ■ the message' 7 -above
cited, that “the reti,ing Chief repeatedly
expressed his judgment tri favor of Gen'.'
McClellan for the position." We are left
to believe, therefore, that the acts.of in
snboridination recited In his letter to . the
Secretary of War had left no. impression
on themind either of-Gen. .Scott oraafthe
Administration to the prejudice of Gen.
McClellan.
And such being the case, we are at Borne
loss tO'Conceive the motives for now giving
publicity to, the letter of Gen. Scott, as
whatever the military offences committee
in the. premises by .Gen. : McClellan, they
have. been long-since: -condoned by the
President, with whose, "encouragement,”
according to the representations of Gen,
Scott, the offences were committed.. Is it
desired to aim a blow- at. the j President
over the shoulders of Gen. McClellan, by:
imputing, to, fhe former a collusion with,
the latter in visiting indignities on a
veteran General ..who has retired from
aetiyajservioe ? (Thy is it, then, that si ini

ifff Ssilj. improper for him. to.mako. his .re-;
ports directly to the President in the
month of October last, when he, *as shb-'
ject to the orders of General HaUeck.—
And why Hub expression of; surprise,
so late in finding occasion for utterance,
when the letter of Gen/ Scott simply
serves to Bhow that, by the assent, or
rather, we should say, -the “encourage
ment ' of the Administration, the milita
ry relations of Gen. McClellan to the
President were the same under Gen. Scott
as they were already known to have -been
under Gen. Halleek ?
In a word, these disclosures merely in
, dicate that the. President, in exercisingdris
[ prerogatives as Commander-in-Chief,. has
not been careful, any more qnder Gen.
Scott than under Gen. HaUeck, to enjoin
on commanders in the field that subordi
nation to the Genewi-in-Chief which we
have sp constantly insisted to be due to
the latter. It is known , that, for a time
. after the relief of Gen. McClellan from
• the dnties of General-in-Chief, the Presi-
I dent administered onr affairs without the
| aid or intervention of any such officer,
and, since he called Gen. HaUeck “to take
I command of the whole forces of the
Untied States," we have seen that that
I command has been,, in more than one
I sense, rather nominal than real/
I We need not repeat what we have said
I before in deprecation of the system of di-
I vided military administration—with com
manders reporting sometimes to tbe Gen
j eral in-ChiefandßOmelijae3“encoaraged”
to report directly to the President. It is
Ino fault of an officer that .he should re
I P9 r t. acco|, ding to .the wish or will of the
I President, tbe constitutional Commander
I in- Chief, but it Beemsdo ns a fault in any
I system of military administration that such
I from regular and nni/orm rules
lof proceeding should be tolerated, mnch less
I ‘ <e “conragea.' ’ As we said a few days ago,
I before this letter of Gen. Scott came to
I add a new confirmation to our argument
jin behalf of Gen. Halieck, so we say
■ again, that when the President, has sum*
[ moiled to his aid a General-in-Chief who
| has, made the art of war his special study,
I“® Should digifie with that.ofiieer a dne
| share pf labor and responsibility; nbd give
[alto to Urn General commanding in the
field, his just proportion of du'y and ser
vice, without subjecting the one or the
other to those cross purposes which,spring
from confusion and the want of official
subordination. In this way the nhlion
migm hope to secure from the President,
from the General-in-Chief, and from the
field officer, each in his several station,that
effective service which results from the
reciprocal action of co operative agents
employed in a common work and wisely
distributed in different spheres of duty.
