The Cincinnati 11 Coinmcrcinr' is of
opinion that McClellan has been
out-gonornld by Beauregard, and it
is pretty evident that the former is
doomed to the fate of those of his
predecessors who have fallen under
tho ban of Black Republican con
demnation. The “Commercial’
says:
Events may speedily demons
trate that the commander of the
army of tho Potomac has been com
pletely out-generald by Beauregard;
that tho occupation of Munson's
and Mason's hills, and the other
advanced positions from which the
rebels have fallen back, was a feint
to cover important movements in
other quarters: that having served
their purpose, these positions were
abandoned, not from fear of a flank
movement, not because the rebels
were awestricken by tho immense
preparations going on in front of

would enable Bearegard to de
tach 25,000 men for operations ir
Tennessee, and ns many in Weslorr
Virginia and yet leave him a con
tingent force of over 50,000.
In any event, we hope the Wesl

While we do not credit all the ru

western border the field of offensive
operations.
