TI1R WAR FOR T II R l'X!0!f.
The Soldiers Who Fought It; The Civilians
Who Directed It, and his Relation to it

' BY OrOUGK PvM'CLEt.US,
Lste Major-General Caimuandipg the A-rniiea,
The copyright M low taken out jn
the name of tho CHneral's wtdow,, unci
tlie publishers expect that upwards of
100,000 oopii will l) iold. The in
troductory chajiter of the .volume, was
not found until some time afer the
author's di-ath. in it General Mo
Clellun thus sums up' his reasons for
never publicly resenting the criticisms
which were heaped upon him in his
later years:
''1 have thus fir abstained from any
reply to the various criticisms and mis
representations of which 1 have been
tho Hubpct, and shall probably preserve
the Hanp attitude during the remainder
of my life, Certainly, up to within a
brief pHriofl, party feoling has run so
high that the pathway for tho truth
has been well-ngh closed, and too
many have preferred to accept blindly
whatever was most agreeable to their
prejudices, rather than to examine
facta Moreover, during the civil war
I never sought rank nor command.
Whatever of that nature came to mo
caniu by force of circumstances and
with no effort of my own. In tho per
formances of the duties thus thrown
upon me, t can, with a clear conscience,
say that I never thought of myself or
of my own interests', but that I steadily
pursued tne course which commenuea
ilsulf to me as best serving the true
interests of my country, and of the gal
lant troops whom I had the ionor to
command. I have therefore been, abb
to maintain a calm front under abuse,
and, while far from claiming immunt
ty from rrror have remained satisfied
with the conviction that, after my
death nt least, my countrymen will
recognize the fact that I loyally sorved
my country in its darkest hour, and
that others, who during their, lifetime
have been more favored than myself,
would probably have dono no letter
under the circumstances .which sur
rounded me when, twice at least, I
saved the capital, once created and
once reorganized a great army. . (.
After telling how he entered the
service as Major-General of volunteers
in Ohioj General McOllan jnf on to
describe the "apathy of tho Washing
ton authorities," tlin campaign, in
Western Virginia and his arrival at
the capital. The next chapter is de
voted to his private letters to his wife,
and then follows a dozen paes of v an
ecdotes of JIalleck, Scott, Kearney,
Hunter, llcintzleman, Summr, ritz
John Forter, Franklin, Meade, John
Sedgwick, fceth Williams, . John Hey-
nolds, tho Comtn tie Puris, Klapka,
Cluseret and lllenktr. L'tter4 and
abstracts from letters of President Lin
coin and Secretary Cameron fellow.
Tho next chapter is p ronaidy tlie most
important op in the entire hook, and
it will doubtless liive. rise to much
acrimonious discussion in civil and mill
tary circles. 1 w. following suoinlary,
which hruds the chapter, Ives an ex

his nhare of,, abuse, and (h is charged
with, deceiving General,, clellan in
ordpr to "erahirpil him with tljp .Presi'
dnU" The, General . then pqmmonts
on his removal from t hfl chief com-
in and, and tells how , his.Advjce was
disregarded, with disastrous, results.
He describes Hancock's famous bayo7
net charge, .the Teninsular , CAmpaigij
and the , withdrawal of 10,000 men
from his command, at Fortress Monrqe.
The following abstracts .from the sum-r
maries at the heads of .the concluding

iij easier for a horse to walk a n.pethnn
a man, after he knows how, for he has
more legs to balanco himself with.
Animals are not credited with half the
intelligence t,hey possess. Blondin is of
a mild, and tractable disposition. I
think he will not ba afraid at all, but
if he should !,, Leslie, who does tlm
slack wiru and turns somersaults with
