If the report of Gen. MCCLELLAN of the campaign of the peninaula, could be laid in fall betore the American people, their verdict would be overwhelming in condemnation of the Administration. No unprejudiced mind can read the corres— pondence between him and the President and the War Department, without con- eluding that he, and only he, had the slightest comprehension of the magnitude of the rebellion, and of the means neces• Gary for its suppression. In fact the War Department appears to have been utterly stupid except for mischief. In yesterday's Post we published Gen. Mc• Ctasimes letter to SnorroN, written after the bloody battle of "Gaines' Hill," a battle which he fought against his own judgment but in pursuance of irnperaave instructions from Washington. The letter in question, the reader will remember was written on the - 28th of June, 1862, and concludes as follows: "If at this instant, I could dispose o (10,000) ten thousand fresh men I could gain the victory tomorrow. I know that a few thousand more men would have changed the battle from a defeat to a vie • tory. As it is, the. Government must not, and cannot, hold me responsible for the result. I feel too earnestly to night—l have seen too many dead and wounded to feel otherwise, than that the Govern meat has not sustained the army. If you do net do so now, the game is lost. If I save this army new, I tell you plainly that I owe no thanks to you, or any other per son in Washington. You have done your best to sacrifice this army. The advantage gained by the over• whelming rebel army at "Gaines' Hill" gave them great encouragement, and caused them to press MCCLELLAN very closely. Bat he was able for them. On the day after he wrote to STANTON, of hie determination to save hie army, he fought the battle of "Ar,Lor's Farm," where our troops repulsed some of the most despe rate rebel charges. Next followed the furious tight at "Savage Station,'' where our forces did admirably. On the follow ing day another determined engagement took place at "Glendale," which was the most obstinate engagement since that of Fair Oaks. It lasted from three in the afternoon, until after dark—about five hours—and closed with the rebels being routed in every quarter of the field. Nothing daunted, however, the furious enemy, knowing his advantages of posi tion and superior numbers, pushed on the day following to renew the strife when the bloody and determined engage meat of "Malvern Hill" took place. It t. . : 811 8, against superior numbers, and in opposi tion to his own jadgmen, but in obedience to the Abolition demand of "On to Rich mond," when expecting reinforcements to save his army from annihilation, Mc CLELLA.N received the following freezing letter from President LINCOLN. It will be sure to show the President's mind after forcing the army into a campaign against superior numbers. "Instead of "On to -Richmond," it implores the General to ' fall back and save his army. WASHINGTON, July 1, 1862-3 P. N. Major General Geo. B. McClellan. It is impossible to reinforce you for your present emergency. If we had a million of men we could nut get them to you in Lime. We have not the men to send. If you are not strong enough to face the enemy you must find a place of security; wait, rest, and repair. Maintain your ground if you can, but save the army mall events, even if you fall back to For tress Monroe. We still have strength enough in the country, and will bring it out. A. LiNcoui. Iu the dispatch from the President to me, on the 2d of July, he says: "If you think you are not strong enough to take Richmond just now, I do not wish you to. Try just now to save the army material and personnel, and I will strengthen it for the offensive again as fast as I can. The Governors of eigh teen (18) States offer me a new levy of three hundred thousand, which I ac cept." 'On the 8d of July the following hind dispatch was received from the Presi dent: RETRACT. WASHINGTON, July 8, 1863-8 P. M. Major General G. B. McClellan: Yours, of 6:80 yesterday, is just received. I am satisfied that yourself, o fficere and men, have done the beet you could. All accounts say that better fighting was never done. Ten thousand thanks for it. A LINCOLY. Oa July the. 6th the President again wrote as follows: WASHINGTON, July .5 1862-7 A. M. Major Genera/ G. B. McClellan, corn. 7/landing Army Potomac. A thousand thanes for the relief yoUr two dispatches of 12 and 1 P. u., yeeter• day, gave me. Be assured the heroism and.ekill of yourself and officers and men, is and forever will be appreciated. If you can bold your present position, we shall hive the enemy yet. After the arduous campaign, Gen. Mc CLELLAY wrote to the President the re markable letter from HARRISON. Land• ing, dated July 7th which we have al , . resoyoblished. The reader will reniein• bee it, because of its advice to conduct, the war for the restoration of the Union, and not for emancipation. The following are the General's reasons for writing it; he says: "While general-in-chief and di rector of the operations of all oar armies i n the field, I had become deeply impress ed with thi importance of adopting and carrying out certain views regarding the conduct of the war, which, in my jade-- meat, werelessential to its objects and its success. Daring an active campaign of three 'months in the enemy's country, these were so fully confirmed that I con ceived it a duty, in the critical position we then occupied, not to withhold 'a candid expression of the more import ant of these views from the commander in THE PITTSBURGH POST: WEPNINDAY MOWING, JA NITARY 20. 1864. chief, whom the CerMitnlionplacee the head cf the armintiand inijries, as well as the Government of the nation.," LOYALTY lit 7UR PILIWIELPHIA Carroll HOUSE Last week we chroilielektlia fact of some of the officials - ni ditrgiti, York Custom House, being detecititi in supply ing the rebels with arms. These detected traitors to a Government to which they were indebted for their daily bread, were some of the loudest mouthedloyal Union Leagues in New York. By the following from a Philadelphia paper, it will be seen that this kind of loyalty alluded to, is alio abundant in that city. The Bulletin says: Mr. Au EN, the cashier, had made up a deposit of twenty-one thousand dollars in gold, which was divided among five bags. These bags were placed upon a stool in side the enclosed space occupied by the cashier, and the latter then went in search of the messenger, leaving the assistant cashier at his desk, inside the railing, but with his back to the money. During the few minutes which elapsed before the mes• stinger took charge of the money, two of the bags were spirited away. The loss was not discovered until the messenger reached the mint, where a count of the money disclosed the fact of the robbery. Mr. ALLEN is positive that he left five bags upon the stool, while Mr. SHIDDEN the messenger, is equally positive that he found but three bags, which h e placed in a single large bag before starting to the mint. The affair is undergoing a strict investigation, but thus far no clue has been found to the robber." HARRISBURG CORRESPONDENC Editor Pittsburgh Post :—From present appearances it seems that we are all at odds and ends politically. Whilst the Democracy devotedly adhere to a Consti tutional course of action, it is very evident that the Republicans are ready and willing to take all the chances necessary to secure all the advantages, and, in the end, an organization. Upon the other hand, the Democracy have acted in the most honor- 1 able manner. As tar as they are concern• ed nothing bat strict justice is asked. The Senator from Allegheny, Mr. Piamv, who claims to be Speaker, and although a po litical oponent, has been generally and liberally regarded as a fair man. His eolitical friends have from the very first. felt that they have forced him into a posi tion which is dishonorable and cowardly. He now feels it—His backers know it— and the people throughout the State, without distinction of party, are ready to accede the fact that his course is beneath the man and his reputation It is not poe Bible that he can any longer so far forget his honor as a lawyer and a gentleman. and one who has any regard for his char acter, as that he will hold out against what common sense teaches him is right. I now predict that in the end he willacknowl edge his error. During all the efforts to organze the Senate the friends of the Constitution and Union, thefiv ert limiDitve4 OlgetAlfmanfully, and deserve the highest commendation for the course they have taken. To-day, aside from those who bad pair ed off there were but twenty-four Senators present, twelve Democrats and twelve Republicans. It being the day set apart for the election of a State Treasurer, it was ascertained that in consequence of the irregulation of the several railroad trains, that the Democracy were in the majority upon joint ballot. The Democracy spurn ed the idea of taking the advantage of this crisis. In accordance with the position they bad assumed no election could take place, because out of the two branches one was unorganized ; eleven new Senators never having had a voice in the selection of a Speaker who should honorably preside over them. A great amount of legislation of a pay ing character is expected by the lobbyists. The old "Buck's," as yet, are not herein person, but have their pimps out on pick et duty looking for the enemy—honest men The Atlantic and Great Western Rail road Company, and the Oil Creek Rail. road Company, each have their stipendi aries here in force. Thus far, to men who are in the back-ground, it is very amusing to see these "hammers" making advan ces to new members—those who have never been initiated. Nearly all of these "borers" are deeply indebted to old mem hers in the shape of "promises t " At this time these creditors are taking the oppor, trinity to enlighten new members, and forming new "rings." It has been openly asserted that a large purse has been made up by honest disin terested men, throughout the State, in order to procure the services of a sharp legislative detective. If such is the fact you may look out for some rich develop ments. From present appearances it would seem that we are to have a gloomy day for the inauguration—it having been rain ing and sleeting nearly all day. THE DEAD-LOCH IN THE STATE SENATE. Letter from Ex-Grovernor Packer WILLIAAIBPORT, Pa., Jan. 12, 1864. How. WM. HOPKINS — Dear Sir: If in these terrible times the community could be surprised at any thing which can hap pen, they would assuredly be astounded with the bold and revolutionary attempt, now being made by the party in power, to.override the constitution, and to usurp the powers of our State Senate. Nothing can be plainer than the consti• tuitional requirement that the "General Assembly shall meet on the first Tuesday of January, in every year," and that them "each House shall choose its Speaker, and other officers." Not only is the Senate authorized and directed to choose. its Speaker, and the House of Rep resentatives to choose its S_peaker, but each House, (that is, every Honse,) as it is constituted when the General Assembly meets, shall choose its Speaker and other officers. This has been the construccion of those sections of the Constitution which lins'obtained without interruption, and without question from any quarter, from the adoption of the constitution, in 1790, until the meeting of the General Assembly, In 1864. The Speaker of a former "House" (as each branch of the Legislature is denominated,) only pre. sides until the credentials of a new "House" are laid before him. Then he A• LINCOLN HARRISBURG, Jan. 18, 1864 EMMETT MU', retire. His dutite have been per- , formed, and his poweri are ended. This is not only according to the constitution, but it is in.striot conformity with the ea• perience of the past. John Tod, afterwards an eminent Judge of the Suprema Court of Pennsylvania, and cue of the fiat lawyers in the State, so read the constitntion v when, at the meeting et the General Assembly, in December, 1815, he took his deat'on the floor of the Senate, and was re-elected to the chair which he hsd just vacated. He was the Speaker during the entire session of 1814-15, and held over, and yet he did not dream of holding on to the chair, whew the new Senate met, in the session of 1816 -16. The only instance in which a Speaker I can hold over, is "when the Speaker shall exercise the office of Governor, " and that case is specially provided for by the con stitution. Recognizing the right of each House, at the meeting of the General As• sembly, to elect its own Speaker, the con• stitntion qualifies that right, and restrains it, "when the Speaker of the Senate shall exercise the office of Governor," and pro• vides for the election of a Speaker pro tempore, only, on such occasions. Why do this, if the Speaker, by virtue of his office, continued, at his discretion, to be Speaker after the meeting of the new Sen ate ? It was foreseen that unless such contingency ware provided for, a vacancy would happen. end the new Senate, by electing a new Speaker. would elect a new Governor. The election must be held ; but the new Speaker, says the constitution, shall be Speaker pro tempore, merely. The present nominal Speaker is a good lawyer, and he knows that, according to all the rules of construction, this special exception named, in restraint of the elec tion of Speaker, excludes all other excep tions, and makes it obligatory on each I new Senate, when the General Assembly meets, to "choose its Speaker and other officers." Thee the framers of the con stitution, themselves, gave it the construc• tion which it has obtained from that day to this. . - What right has the retiring Speaker to i know that the thirty two Senators present could not be trusted to organize the Ben ate? And how can it change his position I if he did know it? Thirty-two Senators term a very tall Senate. Nine-tenth of the business of that body is transacted by a less number. If he be the proper Speak er of the Senate, then there is no vacancy, and can be no election. Is the present nominal Speaker willing to take that ground ? Will he presume to say that each House, at the meeting of the Gener al Assembly in 1864, shall not choose as own Speaker?' Nothing is surer than that the Senate cannot choose a Speaker while there is a legitimate Speaker in the chair. if he decide that his powers and his duties continue, then be decides that there shall be no election. This, in my opinion, is revolutionary, and a flagrant usurpation of power, not justified by the, practice of the past, nor sanctioned by the constitution, but in manifest derogation of both. It is needless for me to e.by to you, atter what I have written, that 1 heartily ap prove the course pursued by those mem• bens of the l-lenate, who stand by their constitutional rights. Tod otherw.se, would be to surrender your manhood. I remain, very truly yours, Wm.

It has been the cu s tom for the past five years to celebrate the "month of Mary" with great zeal and nomp, in the Chtiroti of the Compania or Jesuit Church, aitaa ted at the corner of the Street of that name and Bandera street, and fronting the nlezuela of le Campania. The curate having organised a roligolus association, known as the "Daughters of Mary," has held annual services during said month, winding up upon the Bth with a grand mination of the Church and sermon in the evening, at which all the members were earnestly en t reated to be present. This year, determined to outshine all former exhibitions, he made arrangements to adorn the church with garlands of Lbw era. colossal s'atur'. and with an unpro• cedented number ci lights. He was vain• ' ly remonstrated with by the Archbishop and others in authority, who reluctantly gave their consent to the display. The church was filled with the devout all day, and towards nightfall a continuous stream of human beings, almost exclusively wo• men, poured into the church until every avenue was densely packed, and the steps of the church and far cut into [he plata were filled with a hushed and uneeling crowd The doors were then all closed, save the main entrance, for the doable purpose of preventing the confusion occasioned by late comers and of making the voice of the preacher more distinctly heard. At a lit tle before seven, the assistants began lighting up the church and ware jest fin• ishing the grand altar, the rest of the building being tally illuminated with thousands of lamps, most of them of pare fine oil, when, from a transparent creel• cent, at the foot at the statue of the Virgin, burst forth a jet of flame. The attendant endeavored to extinguish it with his pon cho, but the inflammable liquid penetrated the fabric and only increased the danger. In a moment the flames darted up the garlands of artificia, flowers to the roof, the immense cupola caught fire and the lamps suspended frotrolie roof by. strings dropped and exploded among the densely packed mass of women kneeling beneath. Darting along the wooden ceiling, already heated up the dryness of tinder, the dames ran like hissing serpents the whole length of the church and rolled down in huge, billows upon the compact crowd, that had instinctively sought the main entrance. During the first few momenta of surprise and terror shrieks of sorrow fir the de ,traction of their beloved church resound. ed through the aisles of the buildirig; but when, rushing to the various outlets, all were found closed save one, and that one impassable, loud screams of horror burst from the despairing multitude. For a few moments the heart piercing cries of per ishing women were increasing, they grad• sally grew fainter and fainter, and soon an awful silence reigned within that horri ble furnace. broken only by the angry roar of the flames, or the crash of falling towers. By the lurid glare within could be seen hundreds of human forms, some with faces elevated in prayer to Him be. fore whose throne they were rapidly hast• ening, others with eyes eagerly strained and hands outstretched towards the outer air, imploring that assistance that it was imposetble to give; mothers clasping their little ones close and seeking to shield their darling, from the flames already blistering their own despairing features; children clinging in the frettev of despair to those who would hove gladly died for them, but could only die with them.
