Doc. 199.-Gen. McClellan's proclamation to the people of Western Virginia. Headquarters, Department of the Ohio, Cincinnati, May 26, 1861. To the Union Men of Western Virginia: Virginians:--The General Government has long endured the machinations of a few factious rebels in your midst. Armed traitors have in vain endeavored to deter you from expressing your loyalty at the polls; having failed in this infamous attempt to deprive you of the exercise of your dearest rights, they now seek to inaugurate a reign of terror, and thus force you to yield to their schemes, and submit to the yoke of the traitorous conspiracy, dignified by the name of Southern Confederacy.

occupied by the enemy. The heads directing the operations of the Yankee forces were well aware of this fact, but forgot that there were fully as astute heads on our side. The minute and able investigations of Major Whiting, chief engineer to General Johnston, had satisfied our leaders of the justness of these views. General Scott's plan was to turn Harper's Ferry by a column from Pennsylvania under General Patterson, effect a junction near Winchester or Strasburg with another column of McClellan's army, passing through Romney, and cut off Beauregard's and Johnston's armies from each other. This plan was completely foiled, and the enemy checkmated at their own game, as we shall explain. On or about Thursday, the 16th instant, General Johnston having waited at Harper's Ferry long enough to make the enemy believe that he intended to contest that position to the last, and learning that they were advancing on Williamsport and Romney, sent a portion of his force to Winchester by rai
