Driving McClellan Back.
Having detailed some of the leading features
of the movements of our army, and shown
some few of the brilliant strategic movements
of our great captains, anterior to the Great
Battle, before Richmond, we now proceed to
notice, briefly, such features, plans, and strat
egic movements, previous and subsequent, to
the beginniug of the fight, as had an impor
tant bearing on it, during its continuance, and
mainly contributed to the driving back of
McClellan, with his forces thinned, disheart
ened and covered with confusion and disap
pointment, and which puts the coveted cap
ture of Richmond beyond his power forever,
even if it ever were possible under any cir
cumstances
Our information is not official,, but we liave
it from such sources as we consider entirely
reliable. It may be erroneous iu some minor
matters, but in the main we regard it correct.
McClellan's forces were ou both sides of the
Chickahominy—his ieft wing on the South
side, and his right wing leyoml, or on the
North side of that stream. The plau of at-
tuck, as it has been detailed to us, was for our
forces near Richmond to attack the enemy on
this side, while Stonewall Jackson with Stu
art's cavalry, should suddenly fall upon, sur
prise, and capture them on the other side
This was a brilliant plan, aud every calcula
tion was realized, except the capture of the
North wing of the enemy’s army. It was ,-ur-
prised and routed. Their strong positions
with large amounts of artillery, guns, am mu
nitiou,"stores, &c , including many prisoners,
were captured. Stonewall’s division main
tained, and shed lustre upon, its hitherto
bright and uutarnished fame, while Stuart
displayed all his characteristic cash, with the
best judgment aud most honorable success.
But though in this engagement, large num
bers were killed, wounded, captured, and dis
persed, and all to a greater or less extent rout
ed, yet the majority of them succeeded it
crossing tire Chickahominy, and joining Mc
Clellan’s army on the this side Thie, indeed,
was their only escape. Had they attempted
any other, they would have been bagged—al
most to a man: and it was a point we could
not guard. The hope was to grab them before
they could cross, if they should attempt it;
but the fleetness of the Yankees is proverbial,
and their reputation in this respect was fully
sustained on this occasion.
We have seen it surmised in one of the Rich
mond papers, that a portion of Jackson’s army
followed the Federals across the Chickahomi
ny, on this side. On this point we have no
definite information It may be true, but we
are inclined to doubt it. We think his army
remained beyond the Chickahominy, and v
there now, for two reasons. If he had crossed
after the fugitives, he would have placed him
self in a dangerous position—with McClellan
in front, and the Chickahominy in his rear,
and no support from any quarter. Then he
was needed on the other side to prevent Mo
Clellan from recrossing lower down, and there
by escaping. And besides, we have seen no
mention of his forces participating in the fight,
since McClellan's army come on the South side
of the Chickahominy
Thus was McClellan's army massed together
In one body. He found himself outgeneraled,
his forces beaten back, his stores and arms
captured or destroyed by him to prevent our
troops from getting them, our victorious le
gions pressing upon and hemmiug him in on
almost every side, while his own troops, and
no doubt himself also, v^Cre disheartened at
this unexpected defeat and loss of prestige. It
was just here, in this great extremity that Mc
Clellan displayed his generalship to a degree
that but few ever did before him under similar
circumstances It has often been said that the
greatest of generals were seldom able to con
duct a retreat, while even interior ones could
successfully make an advance or attack, and
with a victorious army skillfully pursue a re
treating or demoralized foe The peculiar sit
uation of McClellan- the thick forests—the
swamps and jungles of the Chickahominy
gave him many advantages, and our army
many great disadvantages, of which Le made
good use It was difficult to watch him, or
ascertain his movements, yet he got no advan
tage of us, at any time; and though, iu the
•erie* of encounters his lo&- in killed, wound
ed and prisoners cannot be less than 30.A00—
probably £0,000-*-yet he carried off the greater
portion of his a, my i* order, still compact and
was not completely roc ted cr demoralized. His
Bkill has saved him from annihilation ; bat
what bn has lost, he will, in all probability
never rigain, if the war should last ten yeare
yet to come
The ability displayed by McClellan in con
ducting this retreat has been noticed in the
Richmond papers—the Enquirer, Examiner
and Diqtatrh, and in most of the prominent
journals in the Confederate Stages.’ He has
been outgeneraled, and his strategy has been
completely eclipsed: but his skill as a com
mander is established in the superior manage
ment of his retreat.
It was here that our large force was made
useful We have information from sources we
deem reliable that our forces in and about the
battle—either in the fight, or stationed where
their services were worth as much as if they
had beer, actually driving the Yankees at the
point of tLe bayonet—outnumbered those of
the Yaukce army. Indeed, it is altogether
reasonable To us it appears to have been
necessary iu order to make a victory sure. If
we could huve had the enemy in a fair field,
where a lair stand-up fight could have been
obtained, nobody would have considered any
thing more than an equal force necessary, and
we would have whipped them with fully oue-
third less. But this fair fight we did not and
could not have. As we said, McClellan’s forces
were massed together in a condition to make
a strike at the weakest point of our lines if
there bad been any prospect of success. It
required not only men enough to fight and
whip his army, but enough also to guard every
exposed point, watch all the thickets and
swamps, and be ready wiih a sufficient force
everywhere to meet and repel any strategic
movement or attack that McClellan could
make; for instance, the large army of Stone
wall Jackson was required to guard the oppo
site side of the Chickahominy. We had forces
stationed at various points ou the James River,
and on our liue of defense north of the river
We had forces to the South of the river
—indeed, we had them at every point where
they could be needed Every possible move
of the enemy was anticipated and provided
for.
In a council of war held oue night by seve
ral Generals, where a battle was pending the
next day against Napoleon in his victorious
campaigns, after several plans had been pro
posed and discussed, one of the Generals in
the counsel said: Gentlemen, propose what
ever plans you may, there is a man over the
way who bus anticipated every one of them,
and is ready to meit them. This compliment
to Napoleon’s military abilities, and the fertili
ty of his genius, might well have been applied
to Johnston and Lee during the late engage
ment.
Ten days before the battle commenced, Mc
Clellan's army was larger than ours. When it
commenced we had more men on the field and
in supporting distance than he did. This is
our information and belief; and it is in the
highest degree creditable to our Geneials that
they were able thus to render victory certain,
and turn back the despoilers of our homes—
in no one of the engagements did we have an
equal force with that of the enemy actually in
the conflict. Our superior prowess and per
fect preparation enabled us to whip in every
engagement. The enemy was massed togeth
er— our forces scattered at different points. It
was by our superior courage, by reliefs of tresh
men, and by having all points well guarded,
that we were continually able to cope with the
enemy and force him fruin every position
where lie took a stand.
We shall continue this subject iu our next.

Our Special Nlckejack Correspondence.
Nickajack, July 8, 1862.
The Federal forces on Haley’s farm, near
Battle Creek, two or three miles above Bridge
port, have increased to about five thousand,
having a portion of cavalry and artillery —
At Bridgeport they have one Regiment and a
half of cavalry, and of artillery—twelve small
pieces. A large train of baggage wagons
came iu during the latter part of last week,
and a very large train of wagons, said by per
sons who have seen them, to number near
four hundred, are coming from the direction
of Florence and Huntsville. Buell is at Hunts
ville on his road to Stevenson and Bridgeport,
and we may, ere long, hear of something like
war right here on the Tennessee river. Our
forces are on the side of the river opposite
the Y'aukees, and are anxious to see them on
this side.
The Yankees celebrated the 4th at Bridge
port and Battle Creek by a salute of tldrty-
four guns.
On Saturday morning last a small party of
Col. Davis’ Florida troops went across the
Tennessee, and fording the Sequatchie on foot,
surprised a scouting party of Y’ankee cavalry,
numbering twenty-seven, taking five prisoners,
killing and wounding nine, and capturing five
horses, and guns, which they brought into
camp. A party of five Yankees, who had
paddled over to Long Island to gather berries,
were also captured by our men. A Y'ankee
Major, who had swam over after a boat was
captured by our pickets. The opposing pick
ets have ceased to fire at each other, and now
exchange newspapers and civilities by swim
ming over. On last Thursday night the Yan
kees fiercely shelled our camp—without result,
however.
We understand from Capt. Guthrie, a Yau-
Captain, that all the field officers of his Regi
ment—19th Illinois—resigned a few days ago
and he thinks a draft by the Lincoln Govern
ment Will be resisted in the U. S We shall
have the pleasure of seeing you on our way
through Atlanta to the West, in a day or two.

Home Manufactures.
We have time and again urged our people to
undertake the manufacturing of many useful
domestic articles, which the country greatly
needs. We have been shown a sample of shoe-
blaeking, manufactured in this city by Mr.
A. B.^Hendren; and we are pleased to an
nounce that he has made complete arrange
ments to supply the article upon a large scale.
It is put up in handsome wood boxes, and is a
first rate article. We wish him every success,
and believe he will realize a fair compensation
for his enterprise. See his new card.

Howell Cobb on Ilie Rebellion.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inept tv
cr. writing under the above caption, from
“Camp Lincoln, surrounding Richmond, says:
On one or two occasions, recently, dags oi
truce have been Lome iu to and from the ene
my for the transaction of some minor matters
relating to prisoners and clothing. At one of
these meetings Brigadier General Howell Cobb
was present, portly, pompous and communica
tive as ever. In course of the conversation
Gen. Cobb said that, when this war first broke
out, its main support at the South was derived
from a certain class, but that the pride of the
South had been excited, and that fear of en
croachment upon the real rights of the people,
and fear of subjugation, had made the South a
perfect unit. He said there was now no divi
sion in the public sentiment: that with them
it was a war for independence or annihilation,
and if they could uot secure the one they
would suffer the other. He said that ihe Con
federate Government had eutirely ceased to
hope for foreign intervention; that they did
not expect it, and placed no reliance upon it
whatever; they hoped soon to be masters of
their own situation, and to be able to dictate
their own terms to other Governments.
He said that his brother and hitnself had
heretofore cultivated cotton estates lying con
tiguous to each other, and had realized from
them an annual income of sixty thousand dol
lars, but that they had uot planted a cotton
seed this year: their lands were sown with
grain; and that they were raiding all they
could eat, and that this was generally the case
with planters of the South. Very little cotton
was being raised. His most important state
ment related to the disposition of the rebel
army. General Cobb sail that, for him«elf,
he was entirely opposed to making a stand at
Richmond, lie thought the city should be
abandoned, and the entire army withdrawn,
protracting the campaign without loss ou our
side through the summer and fall : but he had
been overruled by his superior officers, and
that they should defend the city to their ut
most ability. Such was their determination,
and we could only enter Richmond by passing
through seas of blood. General- Cobb made
some very unhadsome remarks about President
Lincoln, and the interview terminated.
Greeley and the War.
Horace Greeley, iu the New York Tribune,
of November 26th, 1860, after the election of
Lincoln, gave utterance to the following sen
timents :
“We hold with Jefferson to the inalienable
right ot communities to alter or abolish forms
of government that have become oppressive or
injurious, and if the cotton States shall become
satisfied that they can do better out of the
Union than in it, we insist on letiing them go
in peace. The right to secede may he a revo
lutionary one, but it exists, nevertheless, and
we do not see how one party can have a right
to do, what another party has a right to pre
vent. Whenever a considerable section of th
Union shall deliberately resolve to go out, we
shall resist ail coercive measures designed to
keep it in. We hope never to live in a Re pub
lie, whereof one section is pinned to the resi
due by bayonets.”
In the same paper of December 17th, 1860,
he said: “If ever seven or eight States send
agents to Washington to say : ‘We want to ge
out of the Union,’ we shall feel constrained
by our devotion to human liberty to say, ‘let
them go !’ And we do not see how we could
take the other side, without coming in direct
conflict with those rights of man which we
hold paramount to all political arrangement
however convenient ami advantageous.”
Horace’s plan failed. “A considerable sec
tion of the Union deliberately resolved to go
out”—they sent agents to Washington to say
“We want to get out of the Union,” but they
were not permitted to “go in peace.”
Shortly after the war began, Greeley pro
posed that if the Y'ankee army should be beat
en in a pitched battle of any niaguitu le, it
should be accepted by them as evidence that
the Southern “rebellion” was no transient and
circumscribed disturbance but a general up
rising, which it would be wrong if not useless
to attempt to Gontrol by force. Manassas came
up to the requirement but the war went on.
Some time after, Horace proposed that if the
war should last twelve mouths, the contest
should then be abandoned by the North, since
there was no instance in history of a revolution
that had maintained itself successfully for
twelve months being after suppressed. The
twelve months expired, but still the war went
on. At a later day he exclaimed, “Woe be to
this land (Y'ankeeland) if, when the month of
May comes, the Rebellion still rears a defiant
front.” May has come and gone, and the front
of the “Rebellion” was never so high or so
defiant. We wish Horace would get in an
honest mood, as lie sometimes does, and tell
us what he really thinks of the prospects of
Lincoln, Seward and McClellan. When and
how does the Philosopher think the war will
end?,—Richmond Whig, July 1th.

Gaining hit Point.
A Northern dispatch to the Memphis press,
dated July 2d, after claiming that Richmond
had fallen and McClellan was victorious, then
stating that the news “is discredited this eve-
ning,” goes on to give what comfort it may, to
the Federals, by stating that after a hard-
fought battle it is understood that “McClellan
has gained his point.” We can relieve the
anxious minds of the Federals “on this point.”
It is true, McClellan, after “advancing back
ward” some twenty miles, gained City Point,
on James River, bat, considering it not much
of a point after gaining it, he made it a point
to get lower down the river to safer points,
and we now hear he is pointing straight for
Old Point and Fortress Monroe. The Con
federates are rather disappointed at McClel
lan’s rapidity in “gaining points” outside of
our points, it being a point with ns just now
not to disappoint McClellan from getting “on
to Richmond,” though in a different point of
view and a pointedly different way than he in
tended :
McClellan cau truly say :

The Conservative^ Platform.
A meeting of the “conservative” members of
Congress was recently held in Washington.
The following account of the proceedings i3
given:
On Sunday last a meeting of the conserva
tive members of Congress was held in Wash
ington City. Mr. Crittenden presided, and
thirty-five members were present and signed
the resolutions, which were adopted, in sub
stance as follows :
1. That the Federal Constitution should be
maintained intact.
2. That the relations of the States to the
Federal Government are undisturbed by the
war.
3- That the several States shall be revested
with all their rights and privileges under the
Constitution.
4. That the doctrine of State necessity is
arbitrary and tyrannical and subversive of all
Constitutional Government.
5. That no man should have bis property
conficated, except by trial and conviction in a
court law, with all the rights and privileges of
a trial by jury.
C. That the acts of confiscation passed and
meditated by the present Republican majority
of_Congress are wholly unconstitutional.
7. That the emancipation of slaves directly
or indirectly, by Congress, has no warrant in
the Constitution.
S. That the acts cf Congress thi3 session in
this behalf are illegal and void.
■K That to administer the Government on
any other principle is to establish a new and
dangerous system—in fact, a despotism.
Brownlow’i Pirouetting.
The Knoxville Register of the Oth iust. says :
On looking over a batch of old clippings
made more than a year ago, but excluded frem
our columns perhaps for want of room, we
came across the following. It will serve to
show something of the spirit of the old hypQ
crite who is now tickling the abolition tym
panum with his abuse of the South :
Characteristic Speech-—Parson Brown-
low was in Lynchburg tast week and attended
ihe meetiqg bejdjjipre ift refcren.ee to pres
ent crisis, ar.d being called on made a speech,
intensely Southern. Among other things —
He stated that he would prefer to be with
the South in Pandemonium, than with the ab
olitionists, in Heaven. He also remaked that
he intended to give his family instructions not
to bury him in a Y'ankee coffin, but if, in case
of an emergency, they should do so, they must
leave both ends open, so that when the devil
and the ablitionists came in at one end. he
could go out at the other.
Tiie Case of Bex Wood.—It is believed at
Washington, that Ben Wood, Representative
from the Third District of New Y’ork, has been
giving “aid and comfort to the enemy” by the
communication of military intelligence. Yan
kees say that while the House was taking ac
tion in his case hi? appearance was anything
but indicative of innocence. The correspon
dent of the New Y ork Cornmcrciai-remarks:
“ This is probably but the initial movement
in a determination on the part of. the Govern
ment to bring before the proper tribunals those
Northern men who have made loud professions
of their devotion to the Union, yet have kept
up a corre.-pondence with the rebels A large
number of letters sent to Dixie by the ’-Mary
land Uuiulerground Route,’ are now probably
iu this metropolis, and will be used iu due
time.” -
Arrival or Prisoners.—Some sixteen
more Federal prisoners captured near Mem
phis, arrived in this place yesterday evening.
With them was also brought in Dr. Lindsay, of
Memphis, who was captured with a number of
drays and draymen, some fifteen miles from
Memphis, purchasing and hauling cotton into
the city. He is supposed to have been an
agent, of the Liucolnites, having some two or
three thousand dollars in gold upon his person.
He will undergo a trial before the provost
marshal —Memphis Appeal, July 4t7‘.
