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.
