THE PITTSBURGH POST: FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 18, 1863. GESEBAIB OF THE POTOMAC ARMY Notwithstanding the persistent and combined efforts of the Administration and the entire Abolition press, backed by Congressional committees and public de claimed, to disparage the reputation and services of Gen. M’Clellan, the more we reflect upon his public career, the more brilliantly it eclipses that of all of his suc cessors in the command of the Army of the Potomac. It is now more than a year since Halleck dismissed him becanse he was two slow. He had just fought and ‘ won the determined and well contested battle of Antietam, and was in pursuit of the retreating rebels, when he was re lieved. After that Burnsdie fought Lee at Fredericksburg, and was almost annihila ted ; after that Hooker fought a battle at ChancellorsviUe, and was most shamefully beaten, and the only success we have had Bincewas Meade’s viotoryat Gettysburg, which turned out to be not a very great achievment after ail. The Administra tion, through Halleck, declared that it was overwhelming, but the fact of Lee and'his army being able to return in safety into Virginia, carrying with them immense quantities of plunder, nailed that official falsehood to the counter. At all events, General Meade did not “pursue and cap ture 17 the retreating rebels, and he, unlike McClellan, has not been displaced for be ing “too plow.’’ Thas, after more than a year, since General McClellan command ed the army of the Potomac, do we find the condition of our affairs in that direc tion no better than it was then. Instead of orders for “on to Richmond" we have it announced that our army has gone into winter quarters. It would appear from many indications that the Administration and the radicals, generally, are becoming convinced that the taking of the rebel capital is more dif ficult than they, at first, imagined. We hear no more orders of marching upon the “rebel entrenchments," nor the in flated bunkum of Stanton about the “Lord of Hosts." Oqt authorities are beginning to measure the magnitude of their undertaking ; and are more disposed to make excuses for failares, than to chop off the heads of our commanders. As proof of this we select the following from the Washington Chronicle , an organ of the Administration. It is an extract of a letter from General Meade, the publica tion of which by the Chronicle looks as if the Administration did not consider its author “too slow" in his military move ments. It is as follows : “I am fully aware of the great anxiety in the public mind that something should be done. lam in receipt of many letters, some from persona in high positions, tell ing me I had better have my army destroy ed. and the country filled up with the bodies rf soldiers/than remain ioactive. While I do not N sufier myself to be in flQenced by such communications, I am and have been most anxious to effect something; but am determined at every hazard, not to attempt anything unless my jadgment indicates a probability of accomplishing some object commensarate a«sk*aotujn of life Hftc-ftSßarily io voived. I would rather a thousand times be relieved, charged with tardiness or incompetency, than have my conscience burdened .with a wanton slaughter, use lessly, of brave men, or with having jeopardized the great cause by doing what I thought wrong." Here is the language of a true and care ful soldier, who has more regard for the lives of hia ar my, than he has for the fleeting opinion of restless critics of his conduct. Had Burnside and Hooker acted as Meade is determined to act. onr Army of the Potomac would now be many thousand stronger than it is. But Mc- Clellan, who is of the style of Meade, only infinitely the General, was l—*—» 4wwn by the very persons who now Express satisfaction with the general ship of the latter. The New York Tribune for instance remarks : “No commanding General should fight a battle that he can avoid, unless he feels pretty sure of winning it. Better let a beaten enemy retreat across a great and rapid river unmolested, or retreat yourself at full speed twenty to fifty miles, though your adversary’s force is not your own. And it is Dot the General’s fault if he finds his abilities unequal to a position which he did not seek. He can but do his best; his country has no right to expect more of him. 4 Safe 7 Generals are not so good as great ones; bQtthey are a great deal better than those who are neither great nor safe. Better a Mine River fiasco than a Fredericksburg Blat&h ter. The difficulty with McClellan was not a want of ability as a General; his resisting the extreme measures of the Abolitionists, and hie popularity with the army were hie faults, and for these he was sacrificed He must be got rid of, or the radical at tempts to abolitionize the Potomac Army would never Bucceed. They did get rid of him; although the change has brought the country no military advantages, it en abled his persecutors to carry several im portant elections. If the army has gained no great laurels under Meade, it has achieved victories at the polls under Sta n ton. . But still McClellan survives, and the comparison of his command with the commands of all hia successors demon strates, triumphantly, that his is thebrigh est genins ot them all. He has made the loftiest reputation yet attained by any commander of the Potomac Army. HERN—On Thursday, December 17, William P.aooofJas K. Horn, esq., aged 8 years.
