The Morning Transcript. z a NEVADA. CITYee THURSDAY MORNING, ° SEPT, 18. = to Gen. McCLELLAN.—Were net the subject a sore one, it would be amusing to observe how fara blind idolatry carries some naturally well, disposed persons in defending the military aetsof Gen. McClellan. It is possible he may be the genius he has been represented to be. It may be possible: that the complimentary remarks we have made about him in times agone, with the laudable _ purpose of encouraging confidence in a man who held the lives of more than a hundred thousand brave men in his hands, have not been-undeserved. We sincerely hope they were not amiss. Yet we must confess that every day’s experience does not increase our confidence in the man, or give us 4 higher opinion Of his abilities to command. We are prepared to believe that Geh. MeClellan is a good engineer, and that he would answer ‘to ‘@oimmand a fortificatiou assailed, where the strength of the walls would hold out till he had time to think; after his plan of defense should have failed by the management of the evemy. McClellan is a slow, not to say stupid, military man. In sappert of this asgertion we have the testimony of men who know him and téie appearance of his physiog. If.any other proof is desired we point to all his actions since he. took command in front of Washington. Hv waited three or four mouths after his troops were in the highest state of efficiency before he could be prevailed onto march. He allowed the enemy to escape hiin at Manassasand Youktown. He has been tuo elow in all his moveinents against the rebels. Jackson has eluded bim and, pushed into Maryland, and then eluded him again in his attempt to cut off his retreat,— He is always a few days too late. Jackson can march twenty-five miles a day, but Mc Clelldu cannot get his soldiers over more than ten miles in pursuit. The admirers, vr at least, the defenders, of McClellan talk of falsehoods in Chandler's speech. Chandler uses strong language, it is true. But his language is not stronger than the official documents he produces, atrongly stated ag some of his prepositions maybe. The falsehoods. if any there be in the speech of the Seuator of Michigan, are to be charged to other sources than to Mr. Chandler, and if they are fulsehoods the commander of thearmy of the Potomac is the * wietim of a combination of circumstances that have rarely beon seen except in the pages of a high wrought novel. The old excuse that McClellau’s plans were interfered with.by the Secretary of War, is still in vogue. Now, the President hus said no blame can be attached to Secretary Stan{oi because when asked for reinforcements, he had no-troops to send. Whose fault was that? The papers,such as the New York Herald, that wos secéssion in the start, and which have made a god of McCle!lan, torget that they have endeavored tu convey the impression that their man wrs consulted on all occasions. by the Administration, and that be said the army of the Potomac was large enough to take Richmwoud, and advised thar no more Volunteers be received into the sur= vice. If such be the facts the fault of having reinforcements to send MeCleltwn not when going to the swanyps below Riebmond, is attributable in some measure, to that general himself, More than this, it has been reported, and not denied, that a letter from Me-~ Clellan ison fle in the War Department, written in the swamps, in which he said be had troops enough and would be in Riehmond during the next week. How all this may be, we do not pretend to judge ; butlooking at the manand his past actions and judging the whole by a standard of suceess—-not omitting his Inte attempt te cut off Stonewall Jackson in Maryland—and we ninst confess his admirers Wf they find arguments and excuses to rea feeling ot disappointHeve themselves of ae Gey. Wright has issued orders to the Postal the which, hereatter, the authorjties of Stockton Democrot, the San Jose Tribune, and Equal Rights Expesitor, published at) Visalia,ssall be refused transmission in ‘the mails and ex 1: presses of this State, as treasonable publicatioris. DAvitp Seannel is likely to get the appoint ment as Colenel of the Regiment equipped Should he, it would very by the citizens. soon be filled with goed fighting material. Howard Engine Ce., of San Francisco subecribed sixty-five dollars per month to wounded volunteers. ure ingenious State, acting upon Argus and IMPORTANT NEWS ! There wad « rumor in town, last evening, that the rebels iad been whipped in Mary. land. No particulars. Tne Mountam Roure —We republish an article in; to-day’s paper from the Sac, Union on the route to the silver regions via Grass Valley and Nevada. It is hardly necessary to reprint in the TRaNscripT what appears in the Union, that paper having so general a distribution in this couuty .and wherever the TRANSCRIVT circulates. But the remarks are so eminently just. that we cannot forbear repeating them. In this connection let us say that we understand the Cal. Stage Company has hauled off one of the stages running between thia . . place and Lincoln. The accommodations given us by the Company now are only a gocart which connects with a coach running from Lincoln to Marysville at Bear River. The passengers from Nevada and Grass Val ley are furnisbed with poor traveling accommodations to Bear River, and then, when the Marysville stage happens to be full our passengers, We suppose, take thelr chances on the outside. Every attempt is made below to turn travel away from us. ind we learn that men along the Henness Pasa road beyond where the Truckee Turnpike intersects with it, havé made it a business to This is all right enough. A people who won't help themselves ought not to be helped, but to receive more kicks than coppers. advise tll teameters to avoid our read. JACKSON’s Kaip —lt may be doubted whether Stonewall Jackson wenton his late raid to Maryland for any other other purpose than to pftocure supplies, and having ac: complished the object of bis expedition he could afford to retreat in haste. Virginia bas not been a State productive ef food to sustain a large army, and the troubles extend ing through two years have not increased The rebelarmy io Virginia had been cramped for food during some months before the retreat of McClellan from the Peaoinsula, and it is more than probable that the daring eoterprizes of the rebels of late have been tor the purpose of procuring supplies. A amount of provisions is reported to have been coliect-d by Jackson in Maryland, and also by the guerrillas in Tennessee and Kentucky. the eatable resources of the State. Vast oe cae VoTeE OF THE COUNTY.—The Democrat, of Tuesday foots up the vote of the county at the last election at 4,872, for Superintendent of Public Instruction, which ia very nearly the number of ballots cast. This vote shows a falling off of 1,675 votes in the county since last year, and 2,450 votes since 1256. ln six years the vote has therefore, decreaspartially real,and partially more apparent than res}. A large pumber of voters have gone to Nevada Territory, and the newly discovered placers north, but mere have staid at hotne, and some have skulked with the be. hef that draiting would be done trom the poll list. The vote of the county in PSG0 tor Presdent was, 6.658, or only 644 Jess than at the iPresideutial election preceding. During these two Presidential elections the silver tever had raged and done its worst. We sreof the optmon judging from the fuets and figures, that there are full six thousand voters in) the county at the present time. Gen. BANKS.—The Bulletin very justly says ot this great man: Few generals that the present war has developed have well inaintained through thick aud thin the confidence of the as General Banks. A civilian until tie war broke out, he has on the field won the bigh@st commendations of offieers who have made military science.

The TRANSCRIPT argues correctly that it would essentinily benefit that city by the . streain of travel if would turn through it. ‘Undoubtedly a“ good stage line from Lincoin to Virginia, by way of Nevada, would be extensively patronized by the traveling public. The route is very direct, the read good, and the time would be as short as by any other line, it not shorter, os claimed by the Franscrier. So far as distance is concerned. it seems to us fully-as near from Lincoln te Virginia City as itis from Marysville. or perhaps from Placerville. This fact would give to a route thréugh Nevada a decided advantage over that bv Marysville, as the stage from Lincoln would be at Grass Valley at about the same time the Lincoln stage arrived in Marysville. Of course this would give the coach by Grass Valley and Nevada the advantage of being twenty odd miles ahead of the one which leaves Marysville for the Territe ry of Nevada after the Lincoln coach reaches that city, In view of these facta, it is a matter of wonder tbat the line was not started some time ago. It was earnestly, as we The peopje of Nevada have bees sleeping in plain view of what might have been made an important means of prosper'ty. The interesta of the people of Lincoln are also involved. and so are those of the’ proprietora of the nurthernCentral Railroad, which now terminates at Lineeln. The railroad accommodations en the road are ample for all the passengers who may choose to use it. The loconmtives and ears are new, and the track is in good condition. In une hour after leaving Folsom passengers can be in Lincolo, and in fifteen minutes thereafter they could bé in couches, on their way over the mountains. In an enterprise of thls character the citizens of Linceln are deeply concerned; and although the town 18 new, something might be done towardetaiding in establishing the line. Last January there was scarcely a houes in the place; now there 1s . something like a hundred. In fact the building.tas pretty much all been since the first of May, as up to that-time the roads were ao lumber from the mills. -One ot the merchants, in the town is building a substantial . brick store with brick burned near the town, The residents uf Lincoln live in hopes of being able to have the county of Placer divided so as to make an agricultural and a mining county. Should they succeed iti this, Lincoln will become the county seat of the one formed of the of the agriculturbl portion of the present county.—Sac. Union. Sa ER Dae ea Tue Way Jim Lane Does.—The way of the Secessionist in Kansas, like the way of . the transgressor everywhere, is hard, and very juconvenient. Some daya ago, an order was issued by the military authorities Leavenworth, calling upon all able’ bodied’ men of the place te organize and drill for service. It seema that some of the have undertaken to evade the order. WhethVinorsta Crry via Nevapa anp” Lixsoft as fo render it next to impossible to haul } Mm —— ates RecepTion or Gex. Corcorayx.—The following is from New York, August 22d: The reception of Gen. Corcoran this afternoon was the most magnificent ovation ever accorded here. The formal reception by the city authorities took place in Castle Garden, Mayor Opdyke making the speech of -welcome, to which General Corcoran replied in fitting terms. The popular greeting was marked with enthusisem seldoin jwitnegsed anywhere. The crowd around Gen. Cofvos ran’s carriage was such that it was with difficulty dragged up Broadway Along the entire route of the procession the jam was immense. A The-militia display was fine, considering the greater part is at the seat of war. The charitable societies turned cut in large. numbers, and the firemen looked maznificent—sumbering perimps five “thousand men, As the precession passed the New Eengland Rooms, a sslute was fired from a 4pounder on the reof. The ovation continued until the procession reiched the General’s quarters atthe St. Nicholas, and the scene to-mght will be a fitting sequel te the stirrring events of the day. Gen. Coreoran may weil be proud of bis re-advent into his adupte ed city.
