McClellan (search for this): article 1
The truth of history. We stated the other day that the European public would not believe McClellan's telegrams touching the paper victory at Sharpsburg, and that the London Times would sift his statements to the bottom as soon as they came to hand. That we were not far wrong, the facility with which it extracted the truth frthe conspicuous falsehood that they had saved all their material, and all their guns except a few taken in battle." This passage proves pretty clearly that McClellan's lies do not impose upon the people in England. At least, they do not impose upon the London Times. But we subjoin another paragraph, which is even more pointThey cannot recall to life the hundred thousand Yankees who lie buried in the swamps of the Chickahominy, or the low grounds of James river, nor can they restore McClellan to his position around Richmond. But they are baleful, inasmuch as they falsify history and render its teaching a subject of distrust.--The Yankees are already

While his flags of truce are refused, and while he is unable to count his own dead or gather his own wounded, it is pitiable to hear him talk of the Confederate loss. Perhaps we might pardon him under the circumstances for stating in his dispatches to Washington that at one o'clock on the Fourth of July--the great day of Independence — the bands were playing, the national salute being fired, and things looking bright; but it is not pardonable in a General so utterly beaten and so nearly destroyed to re-assert in that same dispatch that ' our forces were not beaten in any conflict, nor could they be driven from the field by the utmost efforts of the enemy' Neither is it pardonable in a General addressing an army yet panting from a seventeen miles run to parody the language of Napoleon, a

From the army. Singular to say, since our last issue we have not heard one word respecting our army in the Valley. During yesterday and Saturday there was an absence of even rumors, which of late have been so abundant. Our latest accounts from Winchester state that movements there were active, and heavy trains of supplies were being sent forward to our forces. Recruits were still arriving at that point, and being hurried on to Gen. Lee.
