the council; he, the Major General Commanding, never appearing for one moment among them during this protracted sitting? Would they not think he was either one of the greatest or one of the smallest men that ever commanded a vast army on the eve of a grand onward movement? And, remembering that war has produced an Alexander, a Hannibal, a a Eugene, a Marlborough, a Frederick, a Wellington, and a Napoleon, would they not promptly assign him to the latter category? And would they hesitate to believe that some of these commanders of divisions left the council with undisguised contempt for their Prentice chief? I wish it understood that I make these statement upon my responsibility, and upon ample evidence. And yet, for the reasons already given. McClellan will move forward, and, if he finds the foe, his columns will conquer him. This historian of this rebellion will do him and his army full justice, awarding laurels to those who win them, and censure to those who deserve it.
