ted in front of Richmond His "strategic movement and his "change of base," by which he designated his headlong flight from Mechanicville to Berkeley, have become the laughing stock of the world Pope was undoubtedly a great braggart. He boasted that his headquarters were in his ended; that he had never seen anything but the backs of his enemies, and that he left his rear to take care of itself. But surely McClellan's Paradies upon the bulletins of Napoleon after the little skirmishes at Rich Mountain, his address to his troops at Washington, in which he said that hereafter there was to be no retrograde movement; his threat to "press Johnston to the wall;" his declaration. while he was cowering under the protection of his gunboats at Berkeley, that he was determined to take Richmond still; his grant of permission to his troops to record their own shame by ing on their colors the names of the battles in which they had fled like sheep before the Confederates--surely, we say, all there

They very much resemble his tactics, in which we vainly look for a spark of that genius which illuminate the campaigns of Frederic and Napoleon, and make us half forget the misery they inflicted in our admiration of the consummate skill with which they were conducted. His strategy consists simply, in the eternal use of the spade and shovel, and with the exception of Rich Mountain his victories were all gained upon paper. The New York Tribune is preparing to sift the forthcoming report to the bottom. The Herald having asserted that the near prospect of the publication made the radical editors a little nervous, Greeley retorts by giving the Herald the lie direct, declaring at the same time that the publication in question is so exactly the very thing that the aforesaid radicals are desirous of seeing that, while they are doubtful of the propriety of making it

The Yankees had gained a great victory in the first battle of Manassas, when Johnston arrived with 27,000 fresh troops and snatched it from them. We had but 27,000 men all told, and the battle was fought by less than half that number. The Yankees were 50,000 strong. At Kearnstown Jackson is said by this veracious chronicler to have had 12,000 men and the Yankees 8,000. In point of fact, Jackson had 3,700, the Yankees 18,000, and so o
