This would have been generalship of the Napoleonic stamp, and, whether successful or unsuccessful, he would have won a substantial reputation by such a display. But he was not equal to the occasion.

Prom the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. - All's well li the Army el the fetoaae." propagandist!! must cease their mischiefmaking agitations. The over-teslous Democrats, who oppose the war measures of the Administration because of part/, must stop their idle opposition, and take their stand generously by the side of the Government, that we may be do more weakened and disgraced by divisions among ourselves. The day has gone by for parties. They do very well for times of peace, but they are out of plaoe in war. We want bo 8 tan ton parties; we want no McClellan parties; nor do we want Abolition parties or oonsjrvative parties; but only the great, united, unanimous party of the people of the Republic, supporting their authorities in vindicating and preserving the best Government ever vouchsafed to man. Let slavery—which distrscted end divided our country in peace, and which now distracts, divides and threatens to destroy it by Rebellion—let slavery take care of itself. If it is damaged, that is the look-out of those who causelessly plunged us into war —not ours. Henceforth, until the Rebellion is suppressed, the negro question, like the Southern negro himself, should be deemed ' contraband of war." Convinced ot tbe entire correctness and force of these views, we commend them to that large portion of the public reached through the columns of this journal. We respectfully, bat earnestly press them on tbe Kxccutive. If tbe Government shall act apon such a policy, we are satisfied the war will be short. If the whole people heartily support the President in its execution, tho Government credit will rise again to its true atsodard, reoruiting will be rapid, the Rebellion will be promptly crushed out, and peace will soon smile sgain along all our borders.-*Philadelphia Inquirer.

Surely he could beat back from his lines a despised and derided enemy. Surely he could maintain positions which he had rendered impregnable by hia labors. But not so. For hours and days the bloody conflict went on. Position after position was arrested from him, his gnns turned against him, his communications destroyed, and his whole army threatened with capture. At last, cut off from the Pamunkey,and compelled to wake the best retreat he could in order to save himself and the remnant of his forces from the victorious "Rebels," he slipped out in the dead hours of the fourth night after the battle commenced, and made tracks for his gun-bosts in Jsmes River, pursued by the "Rebels," but having too far the start of them to be intercepted. Onward he sped until, with his wearied, shattered, half-demoralised army, he gained the shelter which he sought, and sat down under the protection of the guus of the war vessels, which the Confederates had no means of silencing. And there he is now, pushed baok nearly seventy miles from his lines, leaving them in our possession, with thoussnds of prisoners, besides hundreds of his unburied dead and destitute wounded for us to take care of—not to mention a large number of his most splendid guns, a great quantity of small arms, amnnition, stores, etc. Never was there a much greater contrast in human oonditron than that which is now presented between McCIellan as he was two short weeks ago, and McCIellan as he is. Arrayed in all the pride, "pomp and glorious circumstance" of war—breathing nothing to his people but the loftiest annunciations of coming success, that would immortalise him—sround him one of the most splendid armies that was ever put iudf as?ntohr leader; uikt maue «M laoa Of its being overpowered or vanquished by the "Rebels'' perfectly ridiculous—this wai McClellan's condition in thefirstcase. In the second, we see a beaten and fugitive General and hia army a wreck, both rejoicing at the hair-breadth escape whieh they had made, alter having lost the fight into which tbay were involuntarily drawn. He is still at the head of a numerous forco, but it is for the most part composed of men who have been disheartened by the tremendous defeat which they have sustained. They are no longer the formidable hosts they wore, when with unbroken front they were prepared to drive the "Rebels" before them as a holiday amusement, and to jubilate over the fall of Richmond. They may be reinforcad aver so heavily,but this will not avail then. The Confederates can be reinforced too. Their prestige is gone, and all that is wanted to consummate their destruction is for them to try the fortunes of another fight. This is what the Confederates are anxious, for them to do, and is just what they will carefully avoid doing. But the great strategist, who succeeded in bringing thenr. up to the scratch on the —■— of June, is vigilantly watching them and directing his attention ceaselessly to his new position.— They may again find themselves in an uncomfortable predicament, notwithstanding their gun-boats.

Are we to have a new "Thirty years' wai" to pat down the Rebellion, or ahull it be crushed out in tho remaining months of the present year f Is it be lingering, fruitless and exhausting, or short decisive and triumphant to the national arms 1 These arc qustions which not only press upon the Executive, but which come home with emphatio force to the business and bosoms of all the people. And the Executive and the people must awake and act upon their stern reality. The whole theory of the war must be changed. We have been reminded that in dealing with the Rebels we were dealing with our "misguided brethren," and under a noble but delusive im- Eulse, we have been gentle, tender, forearing and forgiving, even to tho verge of romance. Our "miguided brethren" have indulged in no such sentiment. They regard us only as foes, enemies, oppressors, invaders, Hessians, Vandals, and they strike at all Union men, not alone with the true energy of war, but with the malignity whichinspirea the above opprobrious names. We niu.tt, therefore, cease to treat them with the tenderness of brethren. Our kindness is wasted, our generosity thrown away, our forbearance contemned, -r-Wii of tfreir~ country; treacherous assailants and armed foes of a government against which they have no just complaint ; enemies of tbe best interests of mankind, Ik re and everywhere throughout the world; they must be held and pursued as suoh, and be p misfired with a severity commt-n-surate with the uragnitiide and wantonness of their crimes. We must have bold and decisive counsels in the Cabinet, followed by prompt action j we must have rapid movements in the field, and swift, hard, stunning blows struck at tho enemy wherever found. We muit take rulu.*— Insurgents, Rebels, traitors, passive as well as active, mdst be made to know and fefel the difference between loyalty and treason. Heretofore our policy in the enemy's country has been a premium to Rebellion.-— Pains and penalties, privation and losa, have been tho lot of the Union people alone, gain, advantage, security, impunity, have been the fortune of none but Rebels. When their troops occupy a traot of country, all men who are not open and aaovted Secessionists are hounded trom their homes, robbed of their crops, provisions, catties, cast into prison, or forced to serve in their battalions. When our army occupy that same country, wo make no diflcrence between loyal men and' traitors. We pay the Rebel as full prices and as good money us we give the Uuion man. We carefully protect his forfeited property, and are scrupuously tender of bis Confederate conscience. He, therefore, is safe under all circumstances. It ia only the Uuion man who suffers. It is wonderful that wo find no more loyal people m our armies advance ? Should we be astonished at the apparent perfect unanimity wtych prevails in the South? Can we be burprUcd that the Rebela are always surrouuded t*y friends, while our lines are constantly infested by spies T By our past policy the inhabitants of the seocded States have everything to gain by being Rebels, and everything to fear and lose by adhering faithfully to tho Union. All tbia—unless we would have the Rebellion flourish until we are impoverished, bankrupt and exhausted—all this must be changed. As we have remarked, we must have such action as will make the Rabat insurgents and traitors—passivu as well as aotive—know and feel the difference between loyajty and treason. This policy must come from the Executive.— better trom him, upon whom the people rely aa a true patriot, tjian from a factious partisan Congress. Better, from him, the Oommander-in-Cbief of this Army, as » legitimate exercise of war power, than from the agitators in Congress or elsewhere. When this policy ia laid down by the Exccutive it uiubt be enforced. There should be no faltering in its execution, aud no more paltering in a double sense between ourselves or with the foe. Rigid obedience should ba everywhere- exacted. If a Cabinet Minister ia hostile ho must be removed. If a General ia contumacious he muat be deprived of his qam «»nd. Tba crisis demands not only a satare policy and llfOftj ous action, but unfaltering obadiaoco and hearty co-operation in all departmenta and arms of tb« Government. And the people—all tbe people—-muat we the vital necessity of giving a oordial and unanimous support to the execution of aueo a policy, if we would have the war brought prompt' ly to a close.

[June It, ltC62-6m We have tmde our last retreat—we hare met with our last defeat." Such was the Itompous bombast which Napoleon Modelan addressed to hi* army upon taking command of it. "I will preas them to the wall," were tho no less bombastic words in which he announced to his Government his determination to follow the ''Rebels" up to Richmond from Yorktowntand annihilate them, (ions of valor, and served wonderfully to fire up public expectation at the North. With a General so Intrepid of speech, ao Napoleonic In Ulegfauis, the universal beliof in Yatikee-docnlledoni waa that he was invincible in tha field—-that he bad only to maroh forward at the head of his legions to put an end to the Rebellion and the war. Thia Goliath, of the Puritanic Philistines waa to sweep everything before him. Never did a commander promise such great things. Never did mortal warrior pledge himself to such prodigious deeds of arms. There was no sueh word as "fail" in Tiis vocabulary—no such emotion as fear in his bofcom.

One begins to find out the truth of the old maxim, "take care of the penoe and the pounds (or dollar*) will take esre of themselves." In nine oases out of ten, it is probable thst you cannot buy if yon cannot pay the cash down ; hence, while sellers refuse to part witii specie, a man may now a days walk the streets free from temptations to invest quarters, dimes, or haif dimes on candies, nuts, soda-water, lajrer and a host of similar indulgences. Yon are rich, you know; for there coiled up in your pocket book, is the "V" or the "X," Here is item number one.
