IcClellon'a leelinir of Diitf. A writer to the lliitford Courant, without regird to the strict rule which ought to reguUte the oe of private conversation, relates the substance of an interview wh th he hid with Mr. McClcllan, the young and acojmpli'he wife of the General, on a railroad car rear llirtford, and detail her conversation. The following ... , . i- -. i -.1 . . I, :i . .tnktng remarks thai chated wuhout the de. that they would become public, are worthy of special notice. They indicate the faith of the General in the God w ho has in his hands all armies, as well as his devoted spirit f self sacrifiie. The writer siys: I remarked to her hat at firt I felt great confidence in her husband, which afterwards I had, to a certain extent, lo-t; but that I had. previous to Iiis last uccess, regained it. Site said the ame observation had neon made by others. 1 told her I thought the General lud not done ju-tice to him-elf, in not explaining to the public circumstances which looked uulavorable to him. "Do jou not think," said she, "that it was more patriotic in him to bear his wrongs in silence, rather than to trouble the Government as bome others hve done, with ilemands for investigations mul court martials, when the delays caused by them j would be it jurious to the country?' "The General," she remarketl. "when the clouos covering him were of the daikest hue, had l iidi that (ijl would vet make him an instrument of good to the cause of his country." I should hold myself inexcusable for miking public this privnte conversation, especially in the case of a lady, weie it not that General McClellan belongs to the nation more than to her.

Confirm ition, full and indispntiible. has fin illy been received of the surrender of Munfordville to the rebel force under Hrag. The re-ult shows t'iat it required the eniiie of Rragg's army to bring the gallant Uoosiern to tenns. This is shown from the fact that the surrender was m ule to Rrag in person, who at once established his headquai trs at Munloidvil'e, and displayed his various divisions und brigade to his prisoners before p.roliiir tlifnt, w itli the evident intention of impressing ujsui them an exaggerated idea of his strength, w hich he claims to be To. 01)0 men, but which, in reality, is know n to be 40,000. Hut. rn his own showing, how ridiculous his victory appears. Seventy five thousand men against four thousand! How much luster the victory sheds on the S uthern cause! TUE 91CO.ND BATTLE OF Ml NFORDVI LLF. The battle was renew ed, as has been communi cated to vou, on Tuesday morning, and was continued throughout the day in rather a desultory manner. The rebels, remembering their expeii ence on Sunday, fought shy. They kept olf at a safe distance, using only artillery; to which our artillery responded with good eilect. The command of the Feder il forces devolved on Col. Dunham, of the 0ili Indiana, wh succeeded Col. Wilder by seniority of commission The artillerv skirmish availed nothing. Colonel Dunham then sent out a sin ill detachment as skirmishers, hoping to draw the enemy np within range of his litle f its. Hut this m ineuvcr failed. The rebels had a holy horror of those rifle pits, and preferred not approaching them. So the battle amounted to the mere banging away of artillery at a long distance, in which five men of Col. Dunham's command were wounded. Huw many of the enemy were hurt does not appear. At 5 oVfbck this" slow and easv battle terminated, the rebels ceasing to tire and Col. Dunham follow ing the example. During the lollowing night the rebels threw a heavy lotce of infantry and artillery across- the river at Tide Spiings, a couple of miles above the Federal position, aid. undercover of the d.uknets. planted their iins hi earth fortifications thrown up by their infaittrv on the hills on the north side of the river overlooking the Federal position. Their operations w ere noticed bv our forces during the nighr, who could diMiuctlv hear and determine what was going on, but had no means of preventiii it. So, when morning dawned, the brave Iiuli iniaiis were jireetiil with a view of a formidable array of batteries directly opposite them, and in such elevated r.oitioiis tint they could play tiht down into our foitifi cations. TUt SVRRINI.fK. There was no altei native left the Federal commander. To resist longer was to h ive his whole command slaughtered in a short time Hence it was that he surrendered with so slight a loss on his ps.rt. He could do nothing else than curren der. True, he tnkht have loujht an hour or two; ami in tint hour or two be uiLbt have killed a few retels, and hol hilf of his command cut down Rut what would have been gained by that? He would h ive been obliged to surrender in the end, and humanity dictated the sparing of blood. Thu, through force of circumstances which he could not control. Col. Dunham w as compelled to make aiiiUH-orniiiioii.il suuender. The surrender carried with it ten pici.es ol artillery, lour thousand five hundred pi isoners, w ith their arms, tents, camp equipage, etc.. and the position so much coveted by the rebels.

We copy the fallowing comments upon the American diflicuhies from the English press: From the I.on1on Herald, Sept. 5. TI1F. SI.LmAU4 WANT A MAN. Is thcte a man in the whole country who can liht u battle, plan a campaign, or who owns a ( commanding talent oi any kind or description ; The only answer is in a very expressive s-ilence. Lincoln and Seward, Cameron arid Srantou, Ren netland IVillips, these are our statesmen, jour ptd.lic men, vuur le iders ot opinion. MrCieihm and Pojr, heroes of a hundred retreats, Halleck, ; who came Lick from Tennessee because he could ' not tind Ueauregard, who was theie all the time, j Hunter, tetrib'e over negroes, and Rutler, tie j mendous against women, the.-e mid such like are 1 the Generals of the North. It is very unfortunate for them it U positivelv disgraceful for us when we retlect that the-e people are of our own j blood this extraoiOinary deuth ot men of i mark among the Northern Americans. They j will do well to yive up the quart el for the present j to wait until Providence slnll send them a great . m iti one enduevl w ith the element try qualities j that are essential for success. The fact must j somehow be explained that the Generals and J statesmen of the South are so pre eminent in soldierly and st itesmanlike quilities. Lee audi Beauregard, Jackson au I Johnston, aie men ; whose very names ate a terror to the Northern- j ers, whose ability is acknowledged by the mm ej di-p i-s-oiiate judgment of men in distant lands, j A le davs since a quarter ct a null. on of persons turned out in the streets ol New York to welcome with rapturous acclaim an insignificant Irishman, who is only known to fame as hiving been taken prisoner at Rull Run because he could not run away fast enough. This very ab surd person is so pulled up by his reception tint he tri ike a speech to the mob, promising that as fcoon as the pte.ent little kusine-s is settled his hili mightiness will turn his attention to the "deliverance of Ireland." Of course, in such a ea.e, we should hardly think ittiece.-sMry to turn out a file of policemen for the reception of him and his army, and- the functionaries of the law, when mustered, would hare to confine their in vestigations to the neinhboiinsr cabbage gardens. T his is. beside the muk. We only wish to observe what a dearth id leading men. what a per feet famine of heioes must there be in New York, when 200,000 men can wave their hats, and shout themselves hoarse all day for what? fur an individual of the name of Corcoran. JLFIf. UAVIS'S CAUSE BKTTER THAN THAT OK WASH INOTON. Truly Jefferson Davis is a great man. Iiis quart el is a better one and a fait er one than that ol Washington. He repre:ents li e c.ui-e of eight millions in the Confederate States as Washington din that of three million -of the colonists, and we cannot doubt his sin cess. The terms of his address to the Confederate Congress, when it re as-enibleil on the l?th ult. at Richmond, are not IxMiibtsting arid exulting, such as we might have thought excusable after so many unlooked-for triumphs, but dignifiel and worthy of the occa sion. Energetic means aie to be taken to follow up the ndvantage that has been gained. The regiments in the field ate to be tilled up to their quo ta. Olli'-ers are to be lemoved trom their coinmiitdswheii found unequal to them for want of military education or other reason. It is thought that no lYe.-h const riptioius will be necessary, but it is pro rosed, in case of great emergency, to ex tend the ae of liability to men between 3." and 45. This resolve to re-t satisfied with the pre sent number of an army that is sulficient for its work, is in striking contrast with the eager des peration of the North, and its hurried impress meiit of GlHl.lHU unwilling victims more. lilt ÜI.ÜAN OF THE BRITISH BANKERS AP STOCK JOBB1I.S ON THE AMERICAN WAR. j Fri.ni the Loti liti Fconoinst.j The sacrifice of life as well as or property in this American lebellion, thus far, has been literally enomious, und nntqualcd by that of the bloodiest European wars. Ol the äOJ.OlHI or (IdO,(00 men who had U'tu raised by the Federals since the commencement of the conthct. itseern ! certain that ilöO.Ott) have disappeared; mid if vvej m ike every allowance, not utterly disgiacetul ! and incredible tor those who never joined at all. but whose pay had been regularly drawn, for! t!m-e who have slunk away as occasion served ! without any foimal discharge, and for those who j on vaiious pretexts evade duty, the number of i dead, slain ami disabled must still be li igh'.ful. J If to the Northern los-es we add those of their antagonists, there can be little doubt that nt lea-t ten times as many have fallen in one short year in th s fiatcrnal butchery us were killed in the field ur died of thtir wounds out of the Rritish artnv ami navy in the whole of our Napoleonic wars which lasted from first to last for twentytwo years; probably lour times as nnny as fell on ! both sides during the bloody campiign of Solle j rinoatid Mageiit.i; andncarlv as manv as Ku-ia lost during the whole ol the Ctimean war. Nor j need we be much surj rised at this. Since Napo- j I le.m's lime the destructiveness of implements of ' i war h is been incalculably exiianced; the com-!

S long as he J seemed to be fa.-t anchoted lo the Cons'itution, I good and right thinking men never cei.-ed to j hope and bei. eve that experience would teach bun to coned and overcome his miliury mistakes, i and that finally the Government of the Constitu i tioi v.ould j revail over rebellion, and that Tut l ITnion would be re establishe'. j Now that he h is cut loose from the Constitu tion now that he has leso: fed to the same higher law than the Constitution for the professed pur pos of suppressing the rebellion by which the icbellion justifies itself good and right-thinking men know not what lo think or believe, or whitii er to turn for anchorage. They are smitten with a sense of alarm and oisuny. 1 lie v led thai the loundations oi the ( Government are tinsel tledi if not broken up ! that the ship is adrift without master, compass ot- j rudder, and that the ch intea of wreck arc vastly j greater than of safety. j If the policy of the proclamation were auy mote defensible than the President's constitution- j al power lo is-ue it, 'he shadows which it has; cast over the land would not be so impenetrable. 1 It is an act of as bad faith to every conservative ' in in in the North as it is a terrible blow to the Union men of the border slave States. The President has him-elf apprehended that it might drive fitly thousand Union soldiers, belonging to the border slave States, from the Union annle-! We trust and pray tint it will .iot, but that it will not work a most injurious revolution in the senti ment of those S'ates we dare not hope; and as to Kentucky and Tennessee, what a time is this to ' hazard such a revolution. v e await intelligence of its eilect in ths;e States with the n.ost painful anxiety. If we desired more conclusive arguments against the mite policy of the proc! am iti.m than any we have elsewhere een, we hhould seek them in the answer of the President to the memci ial of the leligious fun a lies of this citv contained in our yesterday's issue. "What good," a.-ked he, "would a proclamation of emancipation from me do, especially as we are now situated? I do not want lo issue a document that the whole world will see must necessarily be inoperative, like the Pott's bull against the comet. Would my woid free the slaves, when 1 cannot even enforce the Colistin tion in the rebel Slates? ls thete a single court or magistrate or it dividual that would be iidluenred by it, there? And what reason is theie to think it would have any greater eilect upon the slaves than the late law ol Congress, which I approved, and which oilers protection an I Iteedoni to the tdaves ol rebel masters who come within our lines? Yet I cannot le.itn that tint law has caused a single slave to come over to us. And suppose they could be induced, by a proclam ition of freedom from me, to throw themselves upon us, what should vve do with them? Row can we feed and'eare for such a multitude? Gen. Ihitler wrote me, a few days since, that he was issuing more rations to. the slaves who have rushed to him thin to all the while troops under his comin it (I. They eat. and that is all." e foie the Piesideut i.-suul the proclamation he would have done well to publicly answer these objections to the .obey of it. If utter des;ieratio:i had not before seized the people of the icbel Statr, as a consequence of the abolition and confiscation me.isuies of the Congress at Washington, it will seize them now. The war hereafter, on their put. will be a contest f r existence as communities and iult idtnls. We rrotest against, the procla nation, in the name of the Constitution, in behalf of good faish to the conservative millions of the Noithern and b.n der States, and for the sake of the only me ms ; by which it ti ts at any time been possible to restote the Union. We protest against it as a monstrous usurpation, a criminal wrong, and an act of national suicide. Nevertheless, Democrats and otiicr conservative people will not withdraw from the war. I hey will light in it ami support it as betöre, not i to preserve the Government, for that is subvert el, but to maintain a Gorrriimcnt. To do other- j wise is to invite internal revolution, ansrchy and . confusion, and to sink into disgrace as a people; in the eyes of Christendom. The Sjuthern te-! lel!ion "is not a whit more t derab'.e because of ( this most untoward prochim ition. That mu-t be ; re.-isted, whatever h ill come; and as to what shall come, we can only watch and wait. Chi ! ca jo Time. ANNOUNCEMENTS. ZJi" We aie authorized to announce JOHN A.
