(Prom the If. Y. Herald (Editorial), Jnly •> ]
General McClellan has failed to take Rich
mond, and has suffered serious losses in men,
artillery and warlike materials and stores, in
bis struggle to extricate himself from a position
rendered untenable from the heavy reinlorce-
rnents sent in to the army of the Confederates,
and from the very scanty reinforcements to his
own. With his army thus weakened by bat
tles and disease, he could not hoi } his White
House operations twenty miles in his rear and
his entrenched line of ten miles in front of
Richmond. His original plan, if we arc not
mistaken, was to move his whole Potomac ar
my of last winter in a grand semi-circle upon
Richmond, ^Aeping the entire country from
the PotottuJVPffie Talley of Virginia before
him, and contracting his lines as he advanced
upon Richmond, not fiom the cast but from
the north, thus leaving no loop hole for Con
federate raids in the Shenandoah Valley, nor
any chance to the enemy to cut him off from
the bass of his supplies.
Unfortunately, however, the well considered
plan was set aside by the disorganizing aboli
tion radicals of Congress, aided and abetted by
two or three political generals ol the Cabinet
In the failure of this great and all important
•n ter prise we have lost the labors of a cam
paign ; and to repair this loss and to drive the
Confederates out of Virginia will require an
additional budget of many millions to our na
tional debt The President cannot fail now to
see where the responsibility belongs. A very
significant feeling of indignation is beginning
to develop itself in the public mind upon the
subject, and directly against the Cabinet as at
present constituted. Let the President look to
his Cabinet, as to its reconstruction as a work
ing unit with himself in the prosecution of this
war for “the integrity of the Union,” and not
for the extirpation of slavery, and all yet may
be saved. Let him neglect this essential duty
at this momentous crisis, and we may go on
from bad to worse until all is lost.
THE STORM COM I NO.
The excitement now is but the mere mutter
ing of the storm. Wait until the long list of
killed and wounded in the recent battles before
Richmond are published, and the storm will be
then at its height. Already the people of Phil
adelphia hoot Stanton’s name in the streets,
and declare that no more men will enlist while
he remains in office. New York city has suf
fered quite as much as Philadelphia, and shares
these sentiments. Two New York regiments
suffered at Bull Run, and the excitement here
was fearful. What will it be when the lists of
killed and wounded come in now ?
THE BLOW TO PUBLIC CREDIT.
The financial credit of the country has re
ceived a shock from tire disaster’s to McClel
lan’s aray from which it will not easily recov
er. Previous to his being driven back lrom his
position before Richmond, governmeut stocks
were at s.n unexampled premium, and tire cre
dit of the country never stood so high.
Within a week all this has been changed,—
and now government stocks exhibit more un
steadiness than any other class of public secu
rities. Who is responsible foi this state of
things? Not McClellan, who, in his misfor
tunes as in his successes, has displayed all the
qualities ol an able General, but the radicals,
who weakened his command by taking Banks’
and McDowell's divisions lrom him, and then
prevented his being reinforced, although thev
knew that he was in a position of the most
pressing danger. These are the traitors who
would destroy the integrity of the Republic,
ruin the fair edifice of our financial credit, and
plunge the country into hopeless embarrass
ments, to place the negro in a position in which
he would be of no earthly use to himself or
others. Thus far they have been successful in
their intrigues. Let them look out, however,
for the retribution that i6 to follow them. The
country is losing patience, and it will not be
long be ore they feel the full effects ol the wrath
which they have so industriously provoked.

The first necessity of every community, af

relief to find some one upon whom can be fas

can then be sent into the wilderness, to be
heard of no more lorever. Of course, we have
a very active search for such a scapegoat now.

Curtis’ Armv.—It will be seen that, aftet
all, Curtis and his army were not captured by
Hindman. How hard it is now-a-days to get
at the truth! We had this time assurances
even from the Federals themselves that Hind-
perils, (as Europe will think seriously,) will
awaken the profoundest solicitude in England,
and preciptate the crisis which cannot long be
deferred.
But what will it do on this side the waters ?
Will the vast numbers of Northern democrats,
who must see in this measure the realization of
all the black republicans threatened and the
South feared—who must see in it the consum
mation of the odious doctrine of social equality
—who are to be called by it to fraternize in camp
and arms with the ebony idols of black repub
licanism—we ask will even they abide it ? We
well know that the previous action of the Lin
coln Congress—not half to this extent—aroused
dangerous revolts in the Western army, and
we doubt if the consummation of this extraor
dinary measure would not end in a general re
fusal of all of them to bear arjps with such com

Stanton; and the “Tribune,” tired for once of !
its denunciations, or having long since exhaust- ,
cd the list, contents itself with calling for help
on General Hunter and his negro brigades.
We see little good likely to come ol all this, j
What the country needs is courage and a new
army—not criminations or criticisms of any

now. The great cause of our weakness has
bet n discussions in Congress, in the Cabinet,
and in the press concerning the merits of dif
ferent Generals and the wisdom of different
policies. In carrying on a war, the one tiling
needful is confidence in the Government and
its agents. Whatever strengthens this aids the
common cause ; whatever and whoever weakens
it, inflicts upon the cause a blow which may be
fatal.

IS WASHINGTON SAFE?
If “Stonewall” Jackson be not dead—and
there is now no doubt thrown over the state
ment that he was veritably and actually killed
in the late battles—is there no danger of his
taking a column and with it marching suddenly
in the direction of Washington ? The movc-
cients of this daring Rebel, during the last two
nonths, have been as rapid and successful as
they have been extraordinary in other respects.
It is but a few weeks since he pounced upon
und defeated the forces of Milroy and Schenck,
in the Shenandoah Valley. From that work he
entered upon the pursuit of Gen. Banks, drove
aim to W inchester, defeated him there, pursu
ed him a distance of seventy or eighty miles up
to the Potomac; then retired, and during his
retreat defeated Fremont and Shields; then
swept over the Blue Ridge and across Eastern
Virginia to the Chickahominy, and attacked
the right wing of our main army ten nays ago
—with what success is known to our readers—
having in this space of time fought four battles
at distant points, and traversed a distance of
four or five hundred miles. In each of tho in
stances his movement was more or less of a sur
prise, and each U them would have been de
clared by most men quite impossible before it
was actually done. It woula be undoubtedly a
difficult thing for Jackson, whether he be or
be not dead, to take twenty thousand Confede
rates and move nortli to Fredericksburg, thence
to Manassas, thence eastward to the Potomac ;
and it is not likely he will try. We believe,
moreover, that our troops now *t Washington
and the points named are fully prepared to res
sist such a movement At least we hope so.
And we also ^hope, that (now our troops in
the Shenandoah Valley and elsewhere in East
ern Virginia, will be disposed of so as to effec
tually prevent any other northward movement
of this rebel, if he be alive, or of his ghost, if
he be dead.
Gen. Humphrey Marshall.—Some time since
we announced that Gen. Marshall had resign
ed, and his resignation accepted. We learn
that it was in consequence of the government
placing an officer who ranked him in command
of his department We are glad to learn that
the President lias assigned the officer to anoth

same command.
