On the 26th, the railroad was in operation as far as the Chickahominy, and the railroad bridge across that stream was nearly completed. ' The history of the operations before Richmond is now given in detaihjvith reports of subordinate commanders, including the battles of Fair Oaks and Hanover Court House, the paralysis of the operations caused by the sudden withdrawal of McDowell's command to protect Washington at the moment of thepanic cand by the movements f General S'onewall Jac kson against Banks, Shields and Fremont, and the change of bae to the James river a-xounlished, through the severe and glo-iom actions of the "Seven Days, from the tottle of Mechanics ville, on the 26tb of June, to the eree battle of Malvern Hill, Julv 1. ' ' ; "This closed," says Gen. McClellan, "the hard fighting which had continued from the afternoon of the 26th June, in a series of engagements wholly unparalleled on this continent fo determination and slaughter on both sides." July 4 th the General telegraphed to the President that he occupied, at Ihrrison's Rir, position "which could be carried only by overwhelming numbers." "The spirit of the army," he a Ided, 4i is excellent, stragglers are finding their regiments, and the soldiers exhibit the best results of discipline." He thoj sums up the results of the brief but fierce campaign: "1 cannot now approximate to any statement of our loss, but we were not beaten in any conflict. The enemy were unable, by their utmost efforts, to drive us from any field. We have lost no fruns except 25 on the field of battle, 21 of which were Iot by the giving way of MCaTs division under the onset of superior numbers. When all the circumstances of the ca are known it will be acknowledged by all competent judges that the movement just complet d by our army is unparalleled in the annuls of war. Under the mwt difficult circumstances have we preserved our trains, oar fruns, our material, ami, above all, our honor." To this the President replied:

."Be as-ured the heroism and skill of. yourself, oILers and men. is, and forever will be, ap-weiaivd. If you can lioM our present portion, we shall hive the enemy yet." On the 7th Gen. McClellan telegraphed. 'If not attacked to-day I shall laugli at them: Flag Ouicer Goldsljorough is confident he can k?rp open my communication by the James.",, Expecting an attack, however, as a necessity to the enemy, and feeling the critical mture of the portion, Gen. MjCIellan on the same djy addressed to the President the following letter "IIeadqcabteks Akmy of tue 1'otoxac, ) i 'Caüp Near Hakuisos's Landing, Va., July 7, 1862. ) "Mr. Pkesipkxt You have been fully informed that the rebel army is in our front, with the purpose of overwhelming us by attacking our ios:tlons or reducing U3 by blocklag our river comniuutcatioiis.

On the 11th, Gen. McClellan telegraphed: "Wo are very strong here now, so far as defence is concerned. Hope you will soon make us strong enough to advance and try it again. AH in fine spmts." "From this date to the 30th, constant appeals for sufficient force to assume the olTensive were made by Gen. McClellan to the President and to Gen. Halleck. In the night of August 1st an attempt of the enemy, with artillery, upon the south bank of the James was signally repulsedOn the day previous Gen. Ilalleck telegraphed a report from Gen. Pope that the enemy were evacuating Richmond, and ordered" Gen. McClellan to send away his sick, an order which was interpreted by that General to indicate preparations for his resuming the offensive. ' On the 4th Gen. Hooker defeated the enemy and occupied Malvern Hill, and the next day Gen. McClellan telegraphed: "My troops have advanced 12 miles in one direction and 17 miles in another toward Richmond." The next day Gen. Ilalleck telegraphed: "I have no reinforcements to send you. He had already, three days before, dispatched an order for the evacuation of Harrison's Bar and the removal of the army to Amia Creek. Down to this date Gen. McClellan had been left in entire ignorance of the intentions of the Government. He had earnestly protested against the removal, as foon as notified of it, as certain 4,to prove disastrous to the cause." His protest thus concludes: "Clear in my convictions of right strong in the consciousness that I have ever been and still am actuated solely by love of my country knowing that no ambitious or selfish motives have intluenced me from the commencement of this war I do now what I never did in my life before I entreat tjiatthis order may be rescinded.

"G. B. MrCi.ELi.AN-, 'M;jor General Commanding. "Mai. Gen. II. W. Halleck. "Major General Commanding U. S. Army." Gen. Ilalleck wrote at nuicu length to Gen McClellan, giving his reasons for insisting on the removal, ami urging the superiority of the Fredericksburg base of operations against the rebel capital. Gen. McClellan at once (on the 7th) proceeded to put in course of execution the or der of the removal as rapidly as the condition of the transport service would permit five batteries of artillery sent on the morning of the Stii having taken his List available tran, lrt when on the Oih he received a telegram charging htm with "unsatisfactory delay The next day the Quartermaster's Depart ment lntOrmetl the General that "ii lie could cause a more speedy return of the steamers sent away, it would facilitate matters." The charge of "delav" was, however, reiterated by telegraph on the same day from A ash ington. On the 1 2th, Gen. Ilalleck telegraphed that "perhaps the government was misinformed as to the state of the facts' in regard to the transport facilities at Harrison's Bar. On the 14th Gen. McClellan endeavored to secure a conversation by telegraph with Gen. Ilalleck., who b nelly replied to Ins first communication and then left the Washington office without notifying his iuterlocuior of the fact. Ihe preliminary movement which had begun ou the receipt of the first orders was now followed up by the movement of the whole force by land and water. On the lCth Gen. Porter, in the Lund advance, reached Williamsburg, where he had lcen directed to halt till the whole army should have crossed the Caickahominy. He h tereepted a rebel dispatch, however, which led him to believe that a heavy force was then massing against Pope, and at once pressed forward on his own responsibility to Newport News, which he reached on the 18th, marching his corps 60 miles through a most difficult country in three days. By the 20th the whole army was at Yorktown, NewjKrt News and Fortress Monroe. Great credit is given to Plcaanton and Areriil for the manner in which they covered this important movement. Impressed with the gallantry, fidelity and devotion of his anuy, (Jen. McClellan, on the 18th of August, begged (Jen. Halk-ck, by telegraph, to "say a kind word to thd army," which hc might repeat in general orders. To this request no reply wl.atever was returned. - ' On the 23d Gen. McClellan left iu person for Aequ'a, Franklin's corps having embarked, and no transports having yet been scut for Sumner's corps. The next day Gen. McClellan reported for duty, and, as before, orders aad information. He received from Gen. Ilalleck the following replv: "You a-k for infonnation I cannot give. I do not know where (Jen. Pope is, or where the- enemy in force is." On the 28th Gen. McClellan was ordered to Alexandria, whence he next day reported. r or tlie next few days, all was confusion in Washington, and Gen. McClellan was continually telegraphed, to ascertain the facts and take precautions. On the 27th, he received news of the destruction of Taylor's brigade, and urgently asked for cavalry to ascertain th true state of affairs, as well as for authority to use his available troops for the protection of Washington. The next day, General Ilalleck telegraphed Iiis fi-ars of a "cavalry raid in the night upon Washington," and asked for some "regular oflicers" to be eent him. On the 29tbj the President telegraphed to Gea. McClellan, asking for "news generally." The General replied that Pope must be relieved, or the capital made safe at once, and asked, "What are iny orders and authority? I ak for nothing, but will obey whatever ordes you give." The President replied that he left all to (Jen. Ilalleck, aided by the counsels of Gen. McClellan." Information was now in the possession of the latter winch led him to believe the enemy to be in ;brce in Manassas; and as General Franklin when he was pushing 'forward, under orders roia Washington had btit between 10,000 and 11,000 men, he moved that General with great caution. The transportation was aLo in a deplorable condition. On the 30th, Gen. McClellan was ordered to send artillery ammunition at once, to Cen'reville, for Pope no instructions as to caliber being given. All the ammunition that could be loaded, was sent, and all the force; and Gen. McClellan, OH thy 30th at 11:30 A. M, telegraphed: "I can do no more; you now have every man of tLe Army of the 1 otomac, who is within my reach." At 10:30 the same night, he telegraphed: "I cannot expres to you the pain and mortification. I Lave experienced to-day, in listening to the distant sound of the firing of my men. As I can be of no further use here-. I rwpectfully ask that if there i a probability of tlio conflict being renewed tomorrow, I may be, permitted to go to the seene of battle with my tafT, merely to be with my own men, if nothing more. They will fight non the worse for my being with them. If it is not deemed liest to intrust me with the command even of my own army, I simply ask to be permitted to nhare their fate on the field of battle. Please reply to-night." No reply came till the next morning, and then nothing definite, but in the evening Gen.

Ilalleck telegraphed: "You" will retain Com

mand of everything in this vicinity not tern- -porarily with Pope's army in the field. I beg , of-vou to assist me in this crisis with your" ability and experience; I am entirely tired out. ', ' At midnight Gen. McClellan telegraphed: "The occasion is grave, and demands grave measures. 1 he question is the salvation of the country. To speak frankly, there appears to be a total absence of brains, and I fear the total destruction of the army. I shall be up au night, and ready to obey any orders you may give me. THE MARYLAND CAMPAIGN. On the first of September Gen. "McClellan : went to Washington, where he was put in command of the defences of - Washington. On the same day he was sent to meet the President at the house of Gen. Ilalleck, where the President informed him that he had "always been his friend," and begged him to use his influence to make the Army of the Potomac cooperate heartily with Gen. Pope. Gen. McClellan expressed his disbelief of the stories which had made such a step seem necessary to the President, but cheerfully offered to do anything in his power to calm the Presidential mind. For this the President warmly thanked him, and assured him he should never forget his action in the matter, and left. Ge n. McClellan immediately telegraphed to Gen. Porter that he hoped the whole of the old Army of the Potomac would most cordially co-operate with Gen. Pope for the salvation of the country. Gen. Porter at once replied that they were doing so and would always do so. The next day the President and Gen. Ilalleck came to Gen. McClellan at his house, and begged him to go out and "take command of the army wherever he might meet it," committing everything into his hands. He left Washington in the afternoon, met Pope with his retreating columns at Upton's Hill, rode on to Lewisville, satisfied himself of the safety of the rear under Sumner, "and on the next day, the 3d, became satisfied that the enemy were crossing the Upper Potomac, and must be met by an active campaign in Maryland. Taking all necessary measures for the defence of Washington, Gen. McClellan, on the 7th, left, having received no authoritative and explicit transfer of the command into his hands, and proceeded to reorganize and push forward the shattered Army of Virginia with the Army of the Potomac against the victorious enemv. Gen. ilalleck and the President remained in a condition of great alann for the safety of Washington while the movement was going on, but were entirely uncertain as to where the enemy was or what he would be at. On the 11th, the former telegraphed, "I think the main force of the enemy is in your front; more troops can be spared from here." On the 12th, the latter telegraphed, "Got. Curtin telegraphs me, 'I have advices that Jackson is recrosing the Potomac at Williamsjwt, and probably the whole rebtd army will be drawn from Maryland. Please do not let the enemy get off without being hurt." On the 13th, Gen. Ilalleck telegraphed, "Until you know more certainly the enemy's force south of the Potomac, you are wrong in thus uncovering the capital." Ou the 16th, Gen. McClellan having positive evidence that the whole rebel army was in Mary land, Gen. Ilalleck telegraphed: "Of course I cannot advise. I think, however, you will find the whole force of the enemy in front has crossed the river." With his left resting well on the Potomac, and sure of his plans, Gen. McClellan steadily moved forward with his anny on five parallel roads, ready for concentration at any time iu battle. He had on the 18th come into possession of an order issued bv Gen. .Lee, which revealed to him the whoie of the enemy's plans, and confirmed his own purpose. The whole case made bv the "Committee on the Conduct of the War," without sending for Gen. McClellan or any of his sUvff, in relatiou to the Maryland campaign, and the capture of Harper's Ferry, is examined at length by Gen. McClellan. The gallant carrying of Durkettsville by Franklin, which put that General, on the night of the 14th, witliin three and a half nailer cf the point on Maryland Heights where he might have formed, a junction with Mile?, had not that officer previously withdrawn from those heights, which he had been ordered to hold to the last, is graphically described. The battles of. South Motintain ami Antietani are next described at length. On the day after the former victory, the President telegraphed to Gen. McClellan, "God bless vou and all with vou: destroy the rebel annv if possible." The results of the 'Maryland battles arc thus summed up: f '' Thirteen guns, thirty-nine colors, upwards of fifteen thousand stand of email arms, and more than six . thousand prisoners were the trophies which attest tlie (success of our army in the battles of JSouth Mountain, Crampton's Gap and Antietam.Nor a gun or a color was lo.-t by our army during these battles. Tlie grand total of our looses in men at Antietnni. is stated at 12,463. . . In reply to Lis telegram announcing that the enemy had been Vfho!lydriven from Maryland, General McClellan received this dispatch: ., ' ' , : "We arc still left cutirtly in tLe dark as to your movements and thos of the enemy. This should not be fo. You should keep me advised of boVh as far ns vou know them. "iL W. IIallkck." Gen. McClellan replied with v.liat information he possessed, and added: "1 regret that you find it necessary to couch every dis(atch I have the honor to receive from you, in a spirit of fault-finding, and that you have not yet found time to say one word in commendation of the recent achievements of this army, or even to allude to them." Gen. McCiellan then goes on to paint the condition, aller it victories, of this' heroic army, hastily reorganized after the crushing defeats it had experienced under Gen. Pope, and far from its base of supplies on the Upper L'otomac In three weeks from the day when the' command of the shattered legions had been hurriedly thru.st into his hands, Pennsylvania and Maryland had been delivered, the capital savedv and the triumphant enemy dnveu back in defeat beyond the river. To liave followed that enemy would, iu the circumstances, have been sheer madness. Gen. Lee had taken up positions and was receiving reinforcements in Virginia. Gen. McClellan at once proceeded to urge the rapid reorganization of his own forces to enable him to resume the offensive in the enemy's own country. "If I am reinforced all I ask," he telegraphed, "and am allowed to take my own course, I will hold myself responsible for the SAlety of Washington" The reinforcement of the army for the forwarding of Rupjille went on, however, most slowly. Clothing ordered to Ilagerstown on October 7th, for instauce, did not arrive till the 18th, nor did -the- clothing of one corpsreach that corps till the end of the month. Horses were deficient in great numbers, for both artillery and cavalry. , The President visited Gen. McClellan in person during this delay, and reiterated the strongest assurances of his trust in liiiu, and his confidence that all would be done that could be; and Gen. McClellan winds up his sketf of difficulties in the way of Lis movement with a calm, and full assertion of Iiis own superior competency as a commander, to determine the facts in regard to the fitness of his men to enter upon a great canipahgn in hostile country over the "General-in-Chief i a in hi office at Washington." Late in October the advance began. On the Cth of Noveiiiber the army massed near Warrenton, Virginia, ready to act in any direction. Longstreet was in the immediate front At Culpepper, Jackson, with Hill, near Chester and Thornton's (Jap, and everything pave promise of a speedy aud decisive opening of the campaign On the night of the 7th Gen. McClellan was relie ved of the command of the Army of

the Potomac, which was transferred to Gen.

Ambrose E. Burnside. Three days afterwards Pleasanton was at tacked by Longstreet and Stuart. Gen. McClellan thus concludes his report: "This report is in fact the history oi the Army of the Potomac. During the period occupied in the organization of that army it served as a barr.er against the advance ot a lately victorious enemy, while the fortification of the capital was in progress, and under the discipline which it then received, it acquired strength, education, and some ot that experience which is necessary to success in active operations, and which enabled it afterward to sustain itst'f under circumstances trying to the most heroic men. i requent ekirrmshcs occurred along the lines, conducted with great gallantry, which inured our troops to the re alities of war. The army grew into shape but slowly, and the delays which attended on the obtaining of arms, continued late in the winter of 1861 2, were no less try ing to the soldiers than to the peonle ot the country. Jven at the time ot the organization of the peninsular campaign some of the finest regiments were without ri fles, nor were the utmost exertions on the part of the military authorities adequate to overcome the obstacles to active service. "When at length the armv was in condition to take the field, the peninsular campaign was I Wanned and entered upon with enthusiasm y officers and men. Had this campaign been followed up as it was designed, I cannot doubt ic would have resulted in a glorious triumph to our arms, and the permanent restoration of the power of the government in Virginia and Jvorth Carolina, it not throughout the revolted States. It was, however, otherwise or dered, and the Army of the Totomac was re called troni within tight of lvichmond and in corporated with the Army of Virginia. The disappointments of the campaign on the Pe ninsula had not damped their ardor or diminished their patriotism. They fought well, faithfully, gallantly, under Gen. Tope; yet were compelled to fall back on Washington, defeated tind almost demoralized. The enemy, no longer occupied in guarding his own capital, poured his troops northward, entered Maryland, threatened Pennsylvania, and even Washington itself. Elated bv his recent victories, and assured that our troops were disorganized and dispirited, he was confident that the seat of war was now permanently transferred to the loyal States, and that his own exhausted soil was to, be relieved ftoni the burden of supporting two hostile armies. But he did not understand the spirit which animated the soldiers of the Union. I shall not, nor can I, living, forget that when I was ordered to the command of the troops for the defence of tli2 capital, the soldiers with whom I had shared so much of the anxiety and pain and suiTering of the war had not lose their confidence in me as their commander. They sprang to my call with all their ancient vigor, discipline and courage. I led them into Maryland. Fifteen days after they had fallen back defeated before Washington they vanquished the enemy on the rugged heights of South Mountain, pursued him to the hard-fought field of Antictam, ami drove him, broken and disappointed, across the Potomac, into Virginia. 'The army had need of rest after the terrible experience of battles and marches, with scarcely an interval of rcjiose, which they had gone through from the time of leaving the Peninsula, the return to Washington, the defeat in Virginia, tlie victory of South Mountain, and aain at Antictam. It was not stirprising that they were in a urge degree destitute of the absolute necessaries to effective duty. Shoes were worn out and blankets lost ; clothing was in rags; in short, the army was unfit for active service, and an interval tor rest and equipment was ncccs.-ary, "When the slowly-forwarded supplies came to us, I led the army across the river, renovated, refreshed, in good order and discipline, and followed the retreating foe to a position where I was confident cf decisive victory; when in the midst of the movement, while my advanced guard was actually in contact with the enemy, I" was removed from the command. ' Instead of reporting a victorious campaign it has been my duty to relate the heroism of a reduced army, sent upon an expedition into an enemy's country, there to abandon one and originate another and new plan of campaign, which mighftand would have been puccessful if supported with appreciation of its necessities, but which failed because of the repeated failure of promised support at the most critical and, a it proved, the most fatal moments. That heroism surpasses ordinary description. Its illustration must be left for the pen of the historian in times of calm retlection, when the nation shall be looking back to tlie past from the midst of peaceful days. For me now it is suflicient to say that my comrades were victors in every field fare one, an 1 there the endurance of a single corps accomplished the object of its fighting, and. by securing to the army its transit to the dames River, left to the enemy a ruinous and barren victory. - 'I am devoutly "grateful to God that my last campaign with this brave army was crowned with a victory which saved the nation from the greatest peril it had then undergone. "I have not accomplished mv purpose if, by this report, the Army of the Po'.onpac is not i placed high on the roll ot the historic armies of the world. "Its deeds ennoble the nation to whi li it belongs. Always ready for battle, always firm, steadfast and trustworthy, I never called on it in vain, nov will the nation ever have cause to attribute its Want of success, under myself or other commanders, toany failure of patriotism or bravery in that noble body of American soldiers. "No man can justly charge upon any portion of that army, from the commanding general to the private, any lack of devotion to the service of the United States Goveinmont and to the cause of the Constitution and the Union They have proved their fealty, in much sor row, yuuenng, danger, aud through the very shadow of deaf h. Thei r comrades dead on all the fields where wc fought, have wrarcely more claim to the honor of a nation's reverence, than their survivors to the justice of a nation's gratitude."
