Of Gen. McClellan it may truly be said that even his a | enemies praise him, and that the bitterest op- position only serves to vindicate his fame. The narrative of this Confederate ofti- cer establishes two facts:—First, that if McDowell had been allowed to advance to McClellan’s assistauce Richmond would undoubtedly have been taken; secondly, that McClellan outgencralled the rebels and defeaied iheir best plans, in spite of every dis- advantage and disaster, During his examine- tion before the MeDowoll Court of Taquiry all | recently General McClelian stated his firm be. shi revolted States into the party of | lief that Richmond would have fallen bad the last extremity ; while the late | McDowell been permitted to co-operite will ¢ most powerful army of the Union | the Army of the Potomac.

Nor has he been backward in bis attentions to the radical organs, as may bo seen by his pious and earnest letter to Horace Greeley, assuring him that the spirit of the Lord was with our armies, and that victory was syro to follow.

V drily, as the poet saith, All things are not what they seew At this Christmas time, when good fairies fill the air, we can hardly wonder at tha: sudden mireele which has shown us the Fredericksburg affair in its true light, and given us.oceasion’ for national joy instead of national sovow. If any of us had previeusly thought of that battle as a victory, we ceutainly regarded it as one of | those victories which, if repeated, would be our utter-ruin. If it has occurred to us.to compare Burnside with Napoleon, it was because Water- | loo suggested itself to our minds. It is true that Burnside cxessed and recrossad the Rappa- hannock, as Napoleon crossed and recrossed the Danube; bat, then, our Wagram is stil! to come. In the midst of the generak regret and despondency, therafere, we cannot be teo grateful for the delightful intelligence that we have won a brilliant victory and found, our true military leader.

None but conquerors can take thei® choice as we did.

Having demanded the joint action of those great Pow- ers in favor of Davis and been refused all co- operation, fur France to aid the South alone would be to overlook their influence and advi and none can doubt that a coolness would | ensue, which feeling would become eter- mined opposition the moment the plans of Napoleon and Davis were developed.

Itmay be argued that the soldiers genoral, and that, as the veteran Sumner says, the army is demoralized, “there is a great deal too much croaking,” and “there is not sufficient confidence;” but, then, the soldiers are such blockheads that they thought McClellan was a good general, and do not admire Stanton and Halleck, and conseqnently they have no right to an opinion on the subject, and should be coutent to he killed off, ten thousand | dence in these who lead them to the siaughter..

We grieve ex, of the Senatorial War Committee to whitewash over that “damned spot” of bloodshed at Ire- ricksburg are not as successful as we could wish.

Davia arcnres him that to gether they can accomplish the wild, scheme we have referred to above, and it is easy to con- vinee a willing listener, Both parties look » upon the North as exhausted and willing to have | Peace at any condition; and, led away by the grandeur of these imaginings. they scarcely give nx a thought.

Gaeretey on Our Loss at Frevericxsncna.— Yesterday the Tribune expressed its horror of those “Malignant” journals in this citv which Burnside as a Napoleon, bat prefers to take him at his own word, as “incompetent to com mand such a large army.” and demands that, if the administration has any regard for Burn- side’s judgment, he shall he reinstated in his command of @ corps Harmer, and that General McClellan, who “could command the Army o1 the Potomac better than any other general in it,” shall be restored to the position from which he was most unjustly removed. We contess, move- over, that, in spite of our own logic and Gr ley’ logic, and the logic of the President and his military advisers, we feel ourselves impelled by the inexorable logic of undeniable facts to | heartily endorse the popular opinion wpom all these points. We teil the administration that the nation now dewands, requives, insists upon | success; that the en and the means have heen | most abundantty furnished; that the fate of the administration, if not of the government, hangs upon tho events of this. winter, and that the , only man who has yet shown himself able to use these means, achieve the success required and save the nation from ruin is Major General George B. McClellan. The people know this, and are waiting and watching to see what will be dofenoxt. If the administration attempts to go on with its present Micawber policy, smirking with a self-satisfied leer over the admirable way in which it has humbugged the country into a Uttle more patience, or if it again trots out the infernal negro, and tries to bide tts imbanlitw had exaggerated our loss at Fredericksburg. “It is worthy of remark that the correspondents of the Tribune gave a higher estimate than those of any other journal. The Times made the loss fifteen or sixteen thousand. The Tribune's estl- mute was eighteen thousand. Greeley does not read his own paper. Our correspondents esti- mated the loss at from eight to ten thousand and that aow tallies with the official figures. Seornramw Cuase’s Laresr Financia Seurme—A Rercrn to Correcr Prixcirixs,— The Secretary of the Treasury, as we are informed from Washington, furnished yes terdsy to the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Mvans the plan of finance whith he consider¢ most available at the present juneture. Its main feature is the rais" ing a loam by the sale of nine hundred million dollars worth of bonds, at @ rate of interest no higher than. that which the government is now paying. Congress has taken Ne usual Christ. mas vacation; and of course there can be no action takem on thé Secretary’s suggestion for the next two weeks; but, in the meautime, Mr, ‘Thaddeus Stevens may atudy and inwardly di- gest this financial scheme of the Secretary’s, so sensible and practical, in contrast with his owm vidiculoas proposttion, aud be prepared, at the reassembling of Congress, to reeommend it to his committee: and to the House of Repre- sentatives, ‘The sale of government bonds to the amount. required is, in connection with the tax law now in operation, the only feasible mode of supply* ing the treasury, and at the same time of pro- teciing the country from the evils of such # fur- ther depreciation ofthe currency as the issuing of another batoh of two or three hundred mil- lion dollars worth of legal tender Treasury notes—as is sagely suggested by Mr. Stevens— would inevitably produce. We have little doubt but thas Congress, even with the emall share of business capacity that we give it credit for, will-have sense enough to perceive that Mr. Chaso is right, at least for this-once, and will give tochis-plan the sanction of law. Tt mustibe borne in mind, however, that the govermment cannot expect the liberal terms from capitalists that it has - hitherto. obtained When they were first Called upon. to come te the aidiof the government they were: deluded by the-Seeretary of the Treasury with the as- surance that the rebellion would be crushed out in. the space of three months; and now,. after nearly two. years of hostili_ ties, the countay finds itself no nearer to the object of its hopes and sacrifices. than. it was when the war-commenced. It will ba-impossible, af course, for Mr. Chase or any, body else to persuade the. paople ever again: thet the rebelion will be put down within any short, specified period of time; and we- are pretty confident that nothing less than a recon- struction of the Cabinet with satisfy the cautious business men of Wall street or induce them to invest in, the bonds proposed to be sold. They must be convinced that incompeteats in the council and in the field will no longer be per-, mitted to stand in the way of u&tional triumphs; and, until they ave so convinced, there will be little use in the Secretary of the Treasury send- ing on his nine hundred millions worth of bonds to be negotiated in Wall street. Abolition” ists of the Sumner school may imagine that they can control the policy of the administration; but the capitalists of the country are the men who have really that power in their hands, an@ who onght to use it fitly and well, for their own good and the good of the nation. Wrar Axe tue First Tainas Govervor Sar- worn SHovtp Do.—As soon as our new Gover- nor has completed the conservative organization of his administration he should at once set about remedying the evils that have been in fileted upon us by his republican predecessora, One of his first acts should be to dismiss the present Police Commissioners, who have en- deavored to convert the force under their com- mand into o mere party machine and a meana of defeating the free expression of the popular’ will at the polls, Then he should give the general government a distinct intimation that the great State of New York, which has given such proofs of its loyalty by its immense con- tributions of men and money for the prosecu- tion of the war, will allow no more appoint- ments of provest marshals or arbitrary arrests of its citizens. Those who offend against the laws and the constitution should be deult with as the laws and ihe constitution prescribe.
