MB EVACUATION OF TUB PKMAtf-LA-TIIK
DKLAY IN THE JUNCTION
OF THE FORCE)! OF OENKIIAI.S fr
CLKLXAX AND POPE.
The late official report of Major Oeneral Ital
lock throws new light upon the history of he
evacuation of the Peninsula by General McClel
Ian, and the exciting events which Immediate
ly followed. It tends to Indicate the condnct
of Gen. Pope, (luring LI brief but arduous and
perilous campaign In Virginia, ond to fix n
part, at least, of the responsibility for thrf dis
asters which befel It upon other shoulders than
his.
Tho report proves, conclusive!, that the
evacuation of Harrison's Landing was an on
avoidable military necessity, according toGen.
McClellan own estimate of the reinforce
ments IndlspensabU to enable him to tarry ou
offensive operations from that point. When
Gen. Halleck visited him, about the 25th of
July, he stated that he would require at least
fifty thousand additional troops to enable him
lo move upon Richmond) but when told that
twenty thousand was the utmost that could be
safely withdrawn from other places, he agreed
to make the attempt with that number. Imme
diately on Gen. Halleck.' return to AVnshluK
ton, however. Gen. McClellan telegraphed that
he would require thirty-five thousand) a force
whlrh he had been advised It would be Impos
sible to send him without leaving Washington
and Baltimore In Imminent peril. Subsequent
events have demonstrated how complete!) the
, national capital would have been at the mercy
of the enemy, If half that number of troops had
been withdrawn from Its front. In view of
these facts, It Is passing strange, that ou the
4th of August, the next day after receiving the
order to withdraw his army, Geu. McClellan
should have solemnly protested against It
against leaving a place from which he Insisted
he could do nothing without reinforcements,
which It was impossible to furnish.
The report shows, what was generally under
tood before, that the object of General Pope's
expedition across the Rappahannock, threaten
ing Gordonsvllle, was ''to facilitate the with
drawal of the army of the Potomac from the
Peninsula, and to gain tltneby a demonstration
against tho enemy." In this, It was completely
successful. Its disastrous termination Is shown
by the report to be wholly attributable to the
unaccountable delay of Gen. McClellan's armr
In forming the junction with Gen. Pope'ejirmv
which had been ordered j a delay which it is
manifest the genersMn-chief had not the slight
est reason to apprehend. On the 30th of Jul
Gen. McClellan was ordered to send away hip
sick, preparatory to the removal of his entire
army. On the 3d of August he was ordered to
transfer his army to Aqula Creek as rapidly as
possible, and to enable him to do so, the vast
fleet of vessels then lying In the James river
and Chesapeake Bay, was placed under his con
trol, and the quartermaster general was ordered
to rend him all the additional transports that
could be procured. About this time General
Halleck received inch Information nf the prepa
tlons of the cnemv for eendlug a large furce lo
drive back General Pope, and to nttatk either
Washington or Baltimore, as ludiic! Mm to
"repeatedly urge upon (ien. McLlcJlan the ne
'easily of promptly moving hlsarmv to form a
motion with that of Gen. Fop,
And yet, the evacuation of Harrlson'a Laud
Ing ' was not commenced until the 14th, tlettn
day$ alter It had been ordered," and fifteen
days after thai, a Junction with Gen. Pope's
army car Manassas would have been In lime
to have averted the disaster which befit it, and
to have turned the tide of battle against the
enemy. Even if every rorpa of the Army of
the Potomac which did reach Gen. Pope In
time to hae participated In tho final struggle,
had been brought into action pursuant to the
orders of that general, there Is reason to he
lieve that his ami might havtt maintained Its
ground and repulsed the enemj.
It Is known that the main hod of troops
from the Peninsula, lutead of InJng landed at
Aqula Creek, as was at tlrst Intended, were
brought up to Alexundrla, a point much nearer
the position which the tontendlug armlett had
asauined. Geu. Halleck states, lit hit rejorl,
that tbesv troops " were ordered not lo wait tor
transportation, but to march immediate!) to
the field of battle;" and that "comeof the corps
moved with becoming activity, bit, the drlajs
of others were neither creditable nor excusable.'
The country knows how assiduously newspa
per correspondents and partuan military ntll
cera hare labored to prod ace the Impression
that Gen. Pope's movements, after falling back
from the Rappahannock, were without plan,
und governed by no Intelligent appreciation of
The emergencies with which he whs curroituded.

hannock, the country has reason to congratu
late Itself that Gen. McClellan's prediction ttit
the order for his withdrawal from the Penin
sula would " prove disastrous In thecxtremto
our cause," was not more completely fulfilled.
And If Generals Hooker, Helntzleman, Kearney,
mid tome others, had been as tardj in tlirlr
movtmcuts as those generals who, although
landing at Alexandria as early as theyneter
reached the battle-field till the fighting was
over, the probability la that Gen. McClellan's
reputation as a true prophet would have been
tnoro fully established.
THE POLICY OF THE tVAK.
TheN. V. Tin; substantially endorsing our
view s In respect to a premature advance of the
Army of the Potomac, observes i
"It needs no argument to show the defect
and danger of this loose system of proceeding.
Suppose, for one moment, the army of General
Burnslde crippled, and Washington once
more threatened by advancing rebel hosts) have
we a man, In civil or military life, wise and
strong enough to organize an Instant force out
of the materials upon which the ordered draft
Is hearing J And, If such a miracle could not
be performed, how would the country escape
the danger?"
The defeat of the Army of the Potomac, at
this crisis, would Involve consequences, besides
that of the loss of this capital, which it Is fear
ful to contemplate. It need not, however, be
apprehended, as a decisive battle, except under
advantages of numbers or position which will
ensure success, will be wisely avoided until the
progress of the war, under the Invincible Grant,
has placed the Valley of the Mississippi In our
possession, and until General Roeecrans, pos
sessing himself of East Tennessee, can menace
the rear of tho rebel forces In Virginia. The
war In the East may then be terminated without
a battle, or, at any rate, without again exposing
the national capital.
Of examples in history to be avoided, we
select the following:
On the eve of the battle between the Roman
Emperor, Otho, and the rebel Vltelllns, which
proved fatal to the former, Plutarch relates that
the true friends of Otho advised against the
policy if risking everything upon a single bat
tle, rcpref entlng that "the enemy had received
all their troops; had no further preparations to
make, and were gradually wasting their Ve-
sour eaj while he would soon have from Mysla
and Panuoula force as numerous as those
which he already had, if he would only wait his
own opportunity, Instead of giving one to the
enemv Otho, however, was not guided by
thee couuselsj and the opinion of those who
Tme for immediately hazarding a decisive bat
tle prevailed. "He seems," eays Plutarch, "to
have bf en no longer able to support himself In
a condition of suspense. Overwhelmed by his
Lares, bet hastened to free himself from their
weight He covered his eyes and leaped down

along the lines.
It Is understood that the women and children
of Fredericksburg are encamped outsldeof that
doomed city, aoinc four miles away, on the
road to Richmond, or in that direction, in mere
temporary tents, made for tho occasion, out of
sheets and blankets. There must be much suf
fering among' them, In this time of pinching
cold, when onr'aealed houses, good fires, and
home comforts are to us as we think Indis
pensable. Such are tho snITerlnga entailed by
the dread realities of war.
Our soldiers are In small camptents, and are
as comfortable as the circumstances will ad
mit. They liear, all with great fortitude, hen.

us to state, if, Indeed, we knew. Military men

may be assured i our brare army, with its com

when It may. Doubtless, all remains now as It
was when our Informant left the headquarters
of General Burnslde.
We Incline to the opinion that the story of
any considerable body of our forces hariug
crossed the Rappahannock, Is not reliable,
though, upon this particular topic, our Inform
ant was mum. While some are clamorous for
what they are pleased to call a " decisive bat
tle," no hazards will be run, and no attempts at
a forward morement will be made without a full

TI1E PRKSIDENT'S lOLICl VIND1-
CATKU.
Every day Increases the public confidence In
the wisdom of the President's proclamation of
September 22. It is proving already to be no
mere "paper manifesto' but n reality, terrible
to traitors. When It comes into full operation,
on the 1st of January, It will surely and speed
ily crush the rebellion. The XaMivtlle Union
of November 27th reports as follows hh to the
condition of opinion In Tennessee, t
"The rebel slaveholders of Middle Teunessee
and they comprise perhaps fiveeixths of the
slaveholders are filled with alarm at the ap
oroachlmr ruin which menaces them. It Is evi
dent that they do not regard the President's
emancipation proclamation itorvtwnfutmm
mere thunder and no lightning. On the con
trary, they look upon it as the moat terrible
wound yet Inflicted upon the peculiar Instltu
lion, which, as It la the chief corner stone of the
Butternut Confederacy, so It ts the chief corner
stone of the rebellion, whose death involves the
death of the Southern rebellion."
The same Journal reports:
"Whoever else mv affect to doubt that the
proclamation Is a lire document, the rebels of
Middle Tennessee do not doubt It, and they
3uake In the extremity of their terror as the day
raws near when It shall takp effect. In Wll
son, In UUarason, In Maury, in Rutherford,
and in Davidson eountles the rebel masters
have for two weeks past been gathering up
their slaves, and running them otf as expedi
tiously as possible. Whole plantations which
once counted their scores of bondsmen, coal
black, chestnut-brown, saddle-colored, olive
tinted, and Baxon-hued, are now depopulated.
Their former inhabitants have
" 'Laid down the shot e) and th hoe,
And hunr up the fiddle aud the bowj '
and have been driven off to Dixie to the land
of cotton, cotton -mouth snakes, and rot ton-
nrauea politicians."
Gene hal IUllecjl's Report, It Is a notice
able fact that the McClellan papers play shy of
this able report, for the very obvious reason
probably, that they can neither meet its facts
nor Its logic. There are but few writers In the
country who wield so able and so vigorous a
pen as General Halleck, and there are certainly
no writers In military circles who are compar
able to him lu this regard. Ills reports will go
Into history not only as specimens of pure
composition, but as accurate compendium of
the current records of the war.
We had Intended a more elaborate notice of
this document, but the crowded state ol our
columns has prevented It hitherto.
Gen. McCi fllas Expected To-oay ok To-

Colburn, late of his statf, on Thursday last, to
know when It was desired to havo him appear
before the McDowell court, for the purpose of
giving his testimony. Col. C. telegraphed him
to como at onco. He could not, however, make
it convenient to leave New York taut week.
He is expected here to-day.
The hospitalities of the Wlllards' Hotel hare

A Mistake. The statement which is going
the rounds of the press, In tho form of a report
from Newberu, N. C, that "twent)-one men of
the Maine artillery deserted on the ulgbt of the
25th of November, taking with them their inus
kits, cutlasses and pistols," If not wholly a
mistake, is certainly so as to the corps from
which the desertion took place. There is no
Maine artillery at Newbern, or at any other
point In North Carolina.

We are Inclined to the opinion that tbe Lord

the SMh, nor did I know hit exaet'posltlon On
I lilt day until ,lt was reported to me by my
Id-ae-casip,'qnlteilateiln'the evening,' when
he returned from 'the delivery of an order to
GraraPorter.I believe lhaccused falled.to
carry out the order, because, lr be had attacked

should have .known It. lwlnir mvself ou the

awncij mti mui iu nuim iiouiuimii ataics?
that he had not fully obeyed tho Joint order or
the 29th.
The note Is as follows
Gens. McDowell amd Kinoi I found tt Im
possible to communicate by crossing the woods
to Groveton. The enemy are In strong force
on this road i and as they appear to have driven
our forces back, and the firing of the enemy
having advanced and ours retired, I have de
termined to withdraw to Manassas. I have at
tempted to communicate with McDowell and
SlgeVbut my messengers 'have run Into the
enemy. They have gathered artillery, cavalry
and Infantry, and the advancing masses of dnst
snow too enemy coming in lorce. i am now
going to the head of the column to sea what Is
passing, and how affairs are going. Had yon
not better send vour train back?
F. J. Porter, Major General.
This note Was handed to mo on the C9tH of
August, between seven and eight o'clock p. m..
andnot delivered at all to cither Gen. McDowell
or King, as I understand. No other note was
received by me from the accused.
Q, Did you receive Information from tho ac
cused as to his position after the reception of the
note, which has been produced?
A. The only Information I remember to have
received of the position of the accused, was
from Gen. McDowell when he arrived on the
field, and from my atd-de-camp when he re
turned from the delivery of my order, dated 4)
o'cioccp. m.
Q. Recollect, If )ou cau, whether yem re
reived a note, throughoneof your own aids after
the reception of the first, stating that the ac
cused was there in position, which he could
hold, and, perhaps, make an attack, If strength
ened by King's division, which ou hadtnken
from him.
A. I do not rcmembcrtoharerccelvcda note,
but have some recollection of my atd-de-camp
telling me that Gen. P. said to him, or In his
hearing, perhaps sent me word, that If he had
Klnir's division he could make a dash. or some
thing of that kind. The request, however,
made no Impression upon me. because Klntr's
1 JlTliton bOBl that time was engaged In an ac-
Mlon with the enemy oh our Immediate front,
aud (here werc no 0ljier troops that could be
' spared. In fact, I thought he had already a
' sufliclent force to have accomplished daring
the day the purpose Implied In the order of 4 J
o'clock.
Q. Did 'jou receive from the accused orally,
therwhen flie note wai written, or Inform.,
t!6naent from him that he was ready to engage
the enemr.
A. I do not remember to have received that
information, though I presumed lu sending the
rxrAt-r nt J I nVlriflr tlml flen P. un riii1r 1 1 Is
1 his whole corps to engage the enemy. I sup-
posea mat uen. r. was wiin uis commanu aooui
this time somewhere on the road between Ma
bassas Junction and Gainesville, advancing to
ward, and probably very near the latter place.
Q. Would the accused, bv obeying the Joint
ordir of the 29th, have been brought up In front
or the enemv at 4k o'clock of that crcninir. and
If so, at what point or tpe enemy's line I ?
der was issued, I wA not certain at hat point,
If at any. on the Warrenton turnpike, cast ol
Gainesville, the enemy could be brought to a
stand. If the Joint movement of McDowell and
Porter was therefore made so as to Intersect the
Warrenton turnpike at Gainesville, these two
corps would have been ncarenoughto the turn-
it any point of it, to be brought on tho field
within s short time. Not knowing the exact
position of the enemy, and where they would
be brought to a stand, of course I could not tell
whether the forces of McDowell and Porter
would come up In his front or on his flank.
O. Without knowine the relative position of
the forces under the command of the accused I
and the ant. at 4.30 of tha KKh. how ccrald

pendlcular to the Warrenton turnpike, and at
or near Grove town, and was sure, from the
orders I had riven General P., that he must be
somewnere Detween ianassas juuciiou ami
GalnesviUe. Thus far did I know- the relative
position of the forces of General P. and the
enemy. My Deuei was mat ine ronu ue

occupied by that flank of the enemy, and that
fl Antral P ' at maii'i-'li lfmirati((1 fintiiiiirt(si1 liltii
either to the right JUnk of the enemy, or
passed the right flank of the enemy toward his
rear.
In compliance with a request of the accused,
Gen. Pope pointed out on the map the relative
positions he supposed to have been assumed
by Gen. Porter's corps and the force of the
enemy, lie stated further, In answer to an
inquiry, that the accused was expected to

to have prevented the junction of Longstreet'a
and Jackson's forces, and to have crushed
Jackson before Longstreet could effect a Junc
tion with him. At the time the order of 4.30
p. m. was Issued, I did not believe, nor do I
now believe, that any considerable portion of
Longstreet'a corps had reached the icluity
of the field.
Q. When you Ueaed the order, how loog did
you suppose it would take to place it In pos
session of the accused ?
A. I suppose about an hour.
O. Did the accused, as far as jou know, ut
6.30 p. m., or between that and 7 o'clock, have
thn rarmv ImtnUftlntAlv nn him fYnnt 1
A I do not know, except from the reports of
others! but I think it altogether likely that
Jackson pushed out some forces to obsene the
road between the James river and Manassas
Junction. It Is altogether likely, therefore,
that some of Jackson's troops were In the pres
ence of Gen. Porter's division; though, o ni)
own knowledge, I do not know that.
Q. State, if you can. whether McDowell's
line of march, made under the Joint order of
the 29th, which took him to Grovetown, did
not necessarily carry him to the rear of the
colnmnof the accused, and make him march
in that direction, past the line of the accused 7
A. 1 understood from Gen. McDowell, subse-
Suently, that Gen, Porter, w Ith his corps, w as u
ttle In advance on the Budley Spring road, u
little to the west of the junction of ihe Gaines
Tille and Grovetown roads.
Q. If the statement of Gen, McDowell, us re
gards the position of the accused, was accurate,
was be net at that time ou the road which he
was directed to take by the Joint order of the
29tb.
A. Certalnlyj but he was then at a halt.
Q. State in what particular the accused lulled
to obey Ihe order of 8.50 d. in., of the 29th.
which required him at the precise hour of re

Satchdat, December 0, I
Brigadier General ITaupt, military superin
tendent of railroad construction, was the Apt
witness sworn. lie testified to the general em
elency of General McDowell, and said that he
(General McDowell) never sought to Impose
duties upon others which he was not willing1 to
perform himself. If members of his staff had
sometimes been required to remain dut all night
superintending the unloading of supply trains,
A.C., General McDowell had often done the
same thlusjr himself.
He referred to an article which appeared In
the Tribune of the 4th lustaut, comparlngthe
tithe which w as required to construct the Aqula
creek railroad under General McDowell and the
time consumed under the present commander,
showing a difference of months In favor of the
latter.
Ho denied that its construction occupied as
much time as was alleged In this article, and
claimed that It could not have been constructed
more expeditiously under the circumstances,
General McDowell having to contend against
numerous disadvantages, which were no where
met with by the present commander
Major Tillsou next testified to the general
good character and efficiency of General Mc
Dowell. II. D, Goodwin asked leave to file certain let
tors sustaining his character, as in .answer to
the arraignment of It embraced In the protest
of General McDowell against the decision of
the court declining to permit him to introduce
testimony derogatory to him Goodwin,
The court declined to grant the request, re
gsrdiug the matter as Irrelevant
Adjournment then took place until this
morning at 11 o'clock.

There was no irrv evclllne news from the
Army of the Potomac up to Saturday evening

qittri.rn apd this illy was broken down b) the
lute storm. The rebels hav e beeu trying some
of their gnn upou our gunboats, but were soon
silenced by our forces. The storm was severe
four luclies of snow fell. .The enemy remain
ed umhauged In his position.
There was some complaint that so many
brigadiers were in Washington endeavoring to
get Into court martlals to avoid active service.
The pirate Alabama captured on the llHh,the

Is some doubt expressed as to the truthfuluess
of this report,
The story currently reported on the streets on
8urday that a portion of our army had
crossed the Rappahannock, Is probably a hoax.
The tory secession Journals of England are

The following krollation has been made
bj the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue,

word "agent," as ued In the 74th and 75th
