In no respect is the unfsirness'and par
tisan littleness of the Abolit ion presi more
plainly shown than in the labored efforts
they all niake st the present period to dis
parage Gen. McClellan by contrasting his
services with those of Gen. Grant in Vit.-
giins, We do not take up a copy of these
unprincipled organs of a still more un
principled administration without finding
souse paragraph in it eulogising General
Grant to the skies, coupled with sneering
allusions to_the assumed timidity, treason
or want of generalship of the man who,
more than any other living public per
sonage, possesses the affections of the
troops who fought under him, and of the
country. The wide-spread manner in
which this system of misrepresentation is
conducted leaves no room for doubt as to
the motives that induce it. The opposi
tion leaders fear Gen. McClellan as the
candidate of the' Democratic party; they
know his- popularity among the people
and the esteem possessed for him by the
soldiers, and they are determined, if pos
sible, to secure their seats of profit and
power for four more years, even at the
cruel sacrifice of his reputation.
We do not believe that General Grant
sympathises •with or is in the slightest
manner responsible for these efforts. The
little opportunity the public has had of
judging of his personal character does not
encourage the belief that he would be a
party to the wanton destruction of a- bro
ther officer's fame, for political ends, much
less build up his own by the same du
badly efforts. '•On the contrary, we have
information from lu!liareeS that deserve
much credit, that at the outset of his cam
paign he solicited the assistance of Mc-
Clellan, and was prevented by the same
malicious spirit which has ever prompted
the Administration to risk any disaster
to our cause rather than abate one jot of
its partisan fealousy and meanness.
The persistency with which the Aboli
tionists continue to draw comparisons be
tween the results achieved by the two
generals, to the apparent discredit of Mc-
Clellan, obliges his friends to step forward
in his defense, and if in doing so the facts
should not appear as creditably to General
Grant's services as his new found admirers
declare, we have only to say, that it is out
of no ill , will towards him they are pre
sented. Far be it from us to say one word
in disparagement of his admitted abilities
or to •=press a doubt of the patriotic
spirit which contrels his actions. He may
not have done what we believe could bare
been done, but until we know all the cir
cumstances, which :Controlled him, we
shall not be guilty of adopting the disre
putable course of the Administration press,
by assailing him for acts the responsibility
of which do not probably lie at his door.
What we desire to show . is simply this,
*that General Grant,whatever may be his
talents, has really done no' more nor even
as much, taking all things , into considera
tion, as Genesal McClellan did and could
have performed had he been given the
opportunity. To prove this position let
facts be submitted to the consideration of
a candid public. Here is a brief statement
of the comparative situation . and treat
ment of the two which cannot be truth
fully gainsayed :
. Grant has an army of 15u,000 men; Mc
Clellan bad but 95,000.
-
_Grant has full control of the entire for
ces in Virginia ; McClellan was restriated .
to those under his immediate command.
Grant has the active co-operation of all
the Departments at Washington ; McClel
lan was incessantly interfered with by
some of them, and the chiefs of two at
least were his- avowed and, unrelenting
enemies.
Grant procures all the reinforcements
the Government can• send him ;
lan had • 40,000 of his army taken away
from him at tIS outset of the campaign,
and afterwards appealed in vain, for them
to be sent to his assistance.
Grant has the advantage of 'a trained
and experienced body of men ; McClellan
had to convert his army out et raw troops
and with inferior facilities.
Orant has the t ie,4 .. ;mfit of atll his prede.
cessors' experience in Virginia; McClel
lan had to obtain his information as beat
he could and often under the moat dis
tressing difficulties.
Grant has an army doable the aim or
Lee's ; McClellan's was never equal to the:
enemy* and at the commencement of the
seven days' retreat it was hardly more
thin half that of the latter. ,
Grant is sustained by the entire Admin.
istrstion and its party ; McClellan we , th e
object of their most vindictive hatred, and
they did all.they could to embarrass his
efforts.
Grant has• only to ask anything at
Wubington that he desires, end it is sent
to him; McClellan's appeals ware fre
quently not listened to, and when they
were, the answers were so dilatory as al
most to have been useless.
The _ respective results are familiar to.
the country, and can be judged by the
reader for .himself. If it should appear
that, with fewer men, len advantages, a
stronger foe, and against the steady inter
ference of those who should have sus
tained instead' of endeavoring to crippl.,
"'shim, Gen. McClellan led hit, army nears I.
to Richmond; with smaller loss of lift,
aid in a shorter, time than Gen. Grant,
then we contend
,that nothing in the lat.
ter's career shall be construed to the dis
paragement of the former, not to use
stronger language.

that the itealinp under Lincoln's admin

Were this statement; to come from some

Loyal Leaguers and exclusive patriots ;
but its author is no less wpersonage than
the heavy Abolition chairmen of the 1
tary Committee of the United States Sen..;
ate; its - reliability, therefore cannot be
questioned. It follows then that dpring
the past six months men s and money
enough . have been raised to have crenated
the rebellion at once. The question ari
ses, why has it dot been accomplished t
Senator Wilson may well say, remarks the
World, that no nation in history hat ever
made such tremendous exertions "Shave
the people of the North to supply men
and money to their Government ; anti he
might have added, with equal justice, that
history records •no other instance of vast
means so wickedly and idiotically wasted.'
We presuMe, however, that the secret of
this matter is, that . the . money hmi been
spent, the men put upon the pay rolls, but
that they are not to be found in the armyc
We verily believe that an investigation
would show that of the, one hundred and
twenty-five million dollars appropriated
for recruits, at least one-halt of if found
its way into the pockets of the fellovis
who are now bawling for LincOln and
Johnston. If seven hundred thousand
men have been recruited, the country has
a right to know where they are, and it is
amazing that this matter has not 4ttraoted
more attention in Congress. It should be
understood, moreover, that the number
mentioned by Senator Wilson does not
include the hundred day men, two thou
sand of whom, it is known, have been sent
to the field.
Another fact mentioned in this official
debate throws some light upon the capon
ditnres of hpman " life during the recent
battles in Virginia. General Grant, it is
officially stated, was re-inforced by forty.
eight thousand men up to the Bth of June
last.' How many more since then is not
known ; but it must be a very gfeat num
ber, as reinforcements are constantly go
ing forward.—Pittibuiy Post.
Republican Papers en tie helped, ei the
Military Campaign.
The Washington correspon.deint of the
Springfield Ikpubikan writes as follows:
" The rebels claim that they have had
si series of victories since the present year
opened,.and no defeats to speak of. The
rebel papers know very well how to lie,
and when i to lie ; but on the whole, they
do not quite equal our own. ;Look into
almost any of our journals; and you will
see that 'Grant's successes' are!the theme
of daily Comment. One would think to
read them-that the march upon Richmond
had been crowned with immense victories
and that Lee was holding hisi breath in
mortal terror-of his foe. What are the
facts ? Simply these : Gen. Grant has lost
fifty thousand men ' • has fought pluckily
with Lee, inflicting heavy leases upon the
enemy ; and is in front of Richmond. He
has not beaten the enemy, and has two or
three times attempted a general assault,
and been repulsed. These are the simple
facts of this situation ; yet senseless scrib
blers have bees describing brillient
ries as if the campaign was won. The fact
is that the campaign has just, begun, and
that nothing that has yet transpired is in
dicative of the result. There is no cause
for, despondency, unless it be for those
foolish people who expected _that this
great conflict could be entirely settled by
the gourth of July. Mr. Lincoln said to
a friend of his two or three dansago.: "If
Gran cleiirs the rebels out of Virginta by
the Fohrth of July of next, year, it frill be
all that I have ever- expected." Mr. Stan
ton does not talk of complete success this
year, nor does Mr. Chase. jln short, the
men who. best comprehend i the situation
do not confidently expect ,that the war
will be closed in the year 1864."
The Washington correspOndent of the
Boston Traveler, Administration also, is
not more sanguine. He says:
"It is not certain that Grant will drive
Lee out of Virginia during this campaign,
but that one more army and one more
year will insure their defeat.- A call for
200,000 more men will be tnade in a few
days or weeks. It is probable that another
call for 300,000 more will ; fie made next
winter. The campaign oVaext yea, will
find the Federal. army composed of 800.-
000 men in the field, while . •the rebels will
not be able to muster over 200,000. This
may be a disconsolate view of the subject
to thoserwho expected that Grant would
finish the war this eummarl ,But be can't
do. it. The war will go on for a year or
two longer—certainly till ,the autumn of
1865. It is cowardly to cover up the
truth—and this is the truth."
- Ir is somewhat remarkable thatthe Ga
ss*, which has such an antipathy to Mc-
Clellan, because he used "spades" on the
Peninsula, should not have told ita rotors
before this that Grant is following the ex
ample of "his illustrious predecessor." In
other words, the Army of r,he Potomac is
entrenching. preparatory to entering upon
a reg
uit e
siege of Richmond, and "spades"
are for e time substituted again for "ri
fles.", promoe our warlike ootorapo•
temporary has totally overlooked this cir...

a manly recantation of its abuse of Mo-
Clellan. Our neighbor has too mtich hon•

NEWS OF THE WEEK
The intelligence froin the Aimy of the Po•
toms° details persistent efforts on the part of
Gen. Grant to obtain possession of the ene
mytoiworis at Peteribarg, and an equally de.,
termined disposition on the part of the rebels
to retain them, or at least if they mast be
given up, to surrender them as dearly as pos
sible. Oa Friday night, Gen. Ledlie's divis
ion of the 9th corps succeeded, after i dupe
rate 'charge, in Gaming s line of works run
ning along the left of the 2d cOrps, and which
as it subsequently proved, fOrnad a sort of
key to the rebel antrasehmenti in this QOM
kr of the Sold. The Importahca of this cue
cssi was not made apparent until Saturday
morning, when, while preparihg to make ano
ther demonstration it. was found that the ene
my had abandoned that line,and fallen back
to a position less than one mile from Peters
burg. The advantage was not gained without
heavy loss on our sidi, particularly in officers.
The lines of the army were advanced, and the
foe was again confronted at hie second series
of entrenchments. It was then ,discover*
that, the rebel position was so foaled as to
entirely cover Petersburg, bah of his flanks
resting upon the river. By Saturday our en
tire army had got up. Geh. Smith's corps
was on the north side of the Appomattox,
while the remaining corps *ere disposed an
the south side of that river. Buiregard was
_known to be in command, and there was
abundant evidence of his havihg been rein
forced .by a portion of Longstreet's,
sad Wileox's corps, from Lee's main body.
The line of works to which the rebel's retired
was found, by a reconnobaace, to be very
strong, and constructed in Bus most thorough
manner. Gen. Grant will be compelled to.lose
large number of men if he, attempts to carry
them by assault. The eapture of Petersburg,
from present indications, will prove a formi,
dable task. Communioatioh with Richmond
would seem to be intact, and ',Lee has every
facility for massing his laicals against those
of Grant.
