STATEMENT BY GENBRAL McCLELLAN. ennai YPATEMENTS OF GBNERALS THOMAS AND HITCHCOCK. SSeS Ad The following were among the documents read before the McDowell Court of Inguiry lately: HradQuaRTERS ARMY OF THE PoTOMAO, Steamer Commodore, April 1, iSt2. i Brig. Gen. Thomas, Adj’t Gen'l U. 3. Army: General :—I have to request that yeu will lay the following commanication before the Honorable Secretary of War. The approximate numbers and postions left neer and in rearof the Army of Potomac are about as follows: Gen. Dix has, afer guarding the railroads under bis charge sufficient troops to give him five thousand for the defenceof Haltimorr, and 1,058 availavie for the Eastern Shore, Annapo- hia, &c. Fort Delaware very well garrisoned by about 4 men. The garrisons of the forts around Washing- | top smount to 10,600 men, other disposavie troops new with Gen. Wadsworth being about liye men. The trcops employed in guarding the rail- wsys in Maryland amount to some 3,359 men. These itis designed to relieve, being old ragi- snents, by dismounted cavalry, and to send them forward to Manassas. Grp. Abercrombie occupies Warrenton with a torce, which inciuding Col. Geary at White Filans, and the cayalry to best his disposal, will smount to some 7,78 men, with 12 pieces of artillery. lbave he honor to request that all the orga- nized jo, service in Pennsylvania, and New York, andin any of Eastern States may be ordered to Washington. I learn from (ov. Cortin that there are some 3,500 men now ready ia Pennsylvania. This force I should be gind ‘© Dt at once to Manassas. Foar thous- auc men from Gen. Wadsworth, I desire to be ord rea to Manassas. These troope, with tho trilrocd guards above sliuded to will make up @ force upder the command of Gen. Aber- crombie to something hike 14.639. it is my de-ign to pus Gen. Hienker's di- ¥ision ircm Warrenton upon Strasburg. He sbould remain at strasiur’, to to slow mat- hrs toaseume a definite form im that region before proce: ding to his ultimate destina‘ion. The troops in they vailey of the Shenandoah ¥ ii thus, tuciuding Kl ckers division, 10,028 strong, with 21 pices of artiilery, Banks’ 5th <orp® which embraces Grperal 5) stroug, with 4) guns, some 3,45: sspocabie cavairy, and the raifroad guards, abvat 2,1U0 sMOURt to Rhowt 35,4467 men Gerigued to relieve Gen.

In all.... weeeee... 55,456 men Thero will thus be left for the g8rrieons and tLe front of Washington under Gen. Wads- worth, 16,Q0 men, exclusiw of the batteries uoder instruction. The troops organizing or ready for service in New York, I learn will probably number more — then four thoveand. There should be assem- bied at Washington, subject to disposition where most nreded. ii i 1 am, very respectfully, your obedient sery't, Gro. B. MeULerias, Major General Commanding. Huarguarters Army ov THz Potomac, Fairfax Court House, March 13, 1562. A council of the Genersls commanding ara y corps at the Hegdquariers Army of the Potw- ™A~, were of the opinion— 1. That the enemy having retreated from Monareas to Gordonsville, behind the Rappa- snneck and Rapidan, it is the opinion of the G:nerals commanding army corps that=the operations to be carried on will be best under- takem from Old Point Comfort, between tha York sud James rivers, upon Richmond: pro- vided— let, That the enemy's vessel, the Merrimac, can be neutralized. = 2d. That the means of transportation, sufft- cient fer an immediace transter of the force to its pew base, can be ready at Washington aud Alexandria to move down the Potomac; and 3a. Thata naval auxiliary force can be had to silence or aid in siiencing the enemy's bat- teries in York river. ‘th. That the force to be left to cover Wash- ington sball be such as to give an entire f-el- img ef security for its safety from menace. (Uuenimous.) Il. 1f the foregoirz cannot be, the army should then be moved sgaiust the enemy behind the Rappahannock at the earliest possibie mo- ment, and the mrans for reconstructing bridce=, repsiving railroads, and stocking them with ma — suflicient for the supplying the army should at once be collected for both the Orange and Alexandria and Aquiaand Richmond rail- Toads. { Unanimous.) Note—That with the foris on the right bank of the Potomac fully garrisoned, and those on the left bank occupied, = covering force in front of the Virginia line of 25,000 men would suftice. (Keyes, Heintaleman, McDoweil.} A total of 46,000 for the defense of the city would suffice. (Sumner.) Wasnixcton, D. 0., April 9d, 1959. Ta compliance with your instructions we have examined the papers submitted to us, an hhe.e the homor to make the following report: 1. The President's war order No. 3, dated March Sth, requires that on taking Up any new Lass Of operations that the city of Washington chali be left entirely secure. The other points of the order itis unne: to consider, as the enemy since its date have atandoned their ions aad batteries on the Pi Sa Fetired behind the Happanan- Rock. 2 The council of general officers held at Fair- fx Oourt-House, March i3ta. took place after the enemy had retired from Manassas and de- stoyed the raiirqads in their rear. The couacil decided unanimously to take up a new base of rations from Fortress Mi coghonp ated onros, Brnerals (s majority) decided that force + necessary to should be sufficient to gar- Tison the forts on the right bank ef the Pototsas aod to “ocoupy” those on the left bank witha | covering force of 26,000. It ts, we think, the jedgment of officers that some 30,000 would be are (bus to man these forts, which, with the pam! of the covering force, would make & total of 55,000. directions ef March 12, directa— 3d.

THE CABINRT AND HORACS GREBLEY It turne out that the recent visit of Mr. Ho- race Greeley to this city was principally to the end of remodeling the Cabiaet to ruil his ideas ot the fitness of things. Flanked by his two lieutenants, Mayor Opdyke and Mr. Dudiey 3. Field, he is said to have elaborately lectured the President upon his duty in the premises, but that cidurate geniUeman + couldn't sew a Subsequently he held a caucas, composed of | himself, his lieutenants, and a score ot bitterly rudical members of Congr: ss, wherein a scheme of agitation to compass the end of his visit hither is believed to have been matured. He took his departure for New York last evening. @7 The election of Alexander Ramsey to the United States Senate by the Legi-iature of Min- neeota will probably cause him to resign the office cf Governor of the State before the ith of March next. The office of Lieutensnt Goy-raor is now heid by Hon. Ignatius Dennelly; but as he, too, becomes virtually a memier of the Thirty-Faghti Congress after the 4th of March, he having been elected to the House ef Repre- sentatives in the Second District, the duties of the Executive will probably devolve upon Hon J. Hi. Baker, the Secretary of State. 627A letter bas been received in Boston, di- rect irem Newbern, bringing the very iatest intelligence from that point. The Ivtier is dated | leet Saturday morning, January 1) several Gaye later than any previousiy received. The regular mails were to be inw rdicted tor a short time, An€ everything indicated a heavy move- Mmentin some direction. The tleet of iron-clads Was lying in sight, and siege gus, medium ar- lillery, shelle, and fixed ammunition, were bing put into vessels in large quantities. Our troops were generally in good i alth. Ss The funeral cer: monies of Col. Garescha, late Chief of Staff to Gen. Rosecrans, took pia:e in Cincvinnati,on January 13, and were very imposing, as they were in this city, also. he bcd} wie conveyed from the steamer to Xevier Chapel, where a grand reqaiem was heid, and it lay im state during the day.

Itis believed, however, that they would pot be able to get through by that route, owing to the dumagr to the railroad by Generai Uar- ters forces, butit secms probuble thatan effert Was beirg made to strengthen Bragg. ®7A corre-pondent at New Orleans writes under date of January 3, that the adyance of G neral Banks from Baton Rouge would act Pp cbably toke place befo e the 2thot January, Be ibe piepaiations necessary fur the reduc- tion of the formidable rebel entrenchments could not porsibly be completed before that time. Be Quite an excitement bas been created in Canaca by the arrest, on Wolf Island, by Lieut. Haddock, of our army, of a deserter mimed Abraham Tyler. The act was commit- "don January *, and the facts are soon to be Isid betere our Government, with a demand for reclawation and apology. O77 A creat excitement was created on Friday inthe New York Assembly by a change of base on the part of the Republicans, who nom- i inated Mr. Cailicotts, a Democrat, of Kings county, for Speeker. After much pariiament- ary filitustering, the Assembly finally ad- | journed until Wednesday. j @7 General Sherman's official report puts our lces at Vicksburg, at 1,950 killed and Wounced, desides 400 lost by capture.
