Gen. McClellan and the Press. It seems that Gen. McClellan has called a convention of editors, and endeavored to impress upon them the iGen. McClellan has called a convention of editors, and endeavored to impress upon them the importance of not publishing any news in relation to military movements, a preliminary step, probably, to a censorship of the Northern journalse Southern press in general has learned to hold its tongue, and Gen. McClellan is trying to teach the same lesson to the Northern journalists.we now recollect is a telegraphic dispatch published soon after Gen. McClellan had reached a point in Western Virginia, where he could have maned out to be true after all. But that truth was the fault of General McClellan, and not of the press.
