Tlic Administration plotting for the destruction olMIcC Icllan. No jury would want stronger evidence to convict a man of murder than has al-

at a most fearful cost to ti e Union cause. The ieview of the Peninsular campaign by the Prince de Joinvilto disclose that the administraii m or the influences which ! controlled it did not mean that McCiellan ! should take Richmond --that they meant i that he should not tak it and that reintenements. wIil-Ii mignt j-.ist as well have j b!y grave charges, wo know, agdnst the s ' o administratio i ch ng-s which if true, will consist them all to eternal infamy but we appeal to thi reiW if the facts al- ... ... , r i j i I I in ilia r ? ? n a .vf lt.k ....mm.m.. .l.

It was an after thought with the administration to seek to makn him responsible far lht Hirper'.i Ferry disaster. The passage in th- report of th.?

And when the intruded upou by the ollicers; headquarftoi was permitted to be telegraphed, "not! Ier;i ,ve'(' n tents; soldiers were in no in-

The testimony let the reader remember is furnished by the reliable and regular correspondent of a journal which is an ad mirer of Sigel. He proceeds to denounce ihe whole lankand file of this radical ofli cer's command and men who "war, as a general thing, with some most honorable exceptions, for pouer, plunder, and pay," and concludes: il have bjen told that to write thus is to j give aid ai:d comfort to the enemy . I do not believe it. Iam told also, that it is aaiust military rulo for a subordinate offi cer thus to wiite, and that 1 shall bring upon myself all the indignation of the high j lieve this. The chief of the crps do not fear ihe truth. And if they did, and if the truth, affecting my country's honor ar.d bbertns, by being spoken out manfully, condemn, d me to m:fle:ing. I should twice deserve it if I shrank from speaking it still." In the course of his letter the writer makes a contract between the commands of Sigel and Fitz John Porter, the latter of whom, because he has been known a9 the f.ieiid of McCiella:i, is relieved of command and taken from a fild in which he "What a contract does all this present to a iy oilier army corps in ihe field!

November; 11, 1 CC2. The New York World publishes the followijig etra6t from a private letter recently written by Millard Fillmore in response lo an inquiry as lo whether Ire would sj eak at a Seymour ratification meeting. Mr. Fillmore himself inclosed it to m, 60, of course it is authentic. 1 think you ought to give it a place protr.inently in your columns. You is, truly, Lesli Coombs: "I am heart and eoul with vou in the objects you have in view. Enough of treasure and blood have already been spent upon he negro question. I am fuliy persuaded that the unwise and untimely agitation of this subject gives strength to the rebellion, and wiii cost millions of treasure and thousands of lives: and that there 'u j no hope for anything else but to i store' the Linon as it whs and the constitution as it is; that all llorts for anything else mast end in abortion, anaichv, anJ dissolution."
