Ill-timed And Mischievous

Senator Charidler lina moved a fcalltor copies oL all eorrespondenae bstwesa tlio Executive Department aud Gen MeClullan. He does this, avowedly í'or the purpose of fastening upori oue or the otber the responsibility for the recent disíister befare Ilichmoud ; aud aecompanied liiá uiution by th-J most ill-timud uud inteinpe'rato deiiuneiatioiis of both, We hope this motion will riot be pressed. If it is, we hope it will not be passod. And if the cali is mudo, we hope the President will decline to answer it. This w not the time for such dissenslons. They cannot effect the tlightest good, and ure cei'taiu to do very great uiiachiet. Supposd JIr. Chaudler sbould succeed i) proving that the President ia reaputisible for the repulse at Richmond, what does he prop.'su to do ubout it? Will he appoiut a new president,? Will Congrcss, or the Sonate, or Mr. Chandler üiniseif take comuiaiid of ïhé army of the United Stares ? He rr;ust know that Mr. Lincoln is President, and that the couutry must rely upou bim to cairy it through tliia war. And he ought to know that whoever tries to destroy public confideuoe in him, does bis best to weakeu the government, and aid the rebels. Suppose, on the other hand, General McClellan should be shown to have made mistakes; does Mr. Ckindlcr proposo to depose hiin ? How will he bring about that result - and what officer will he put in hls place ? Does ho kuovv of any ofB ccr who has not made raistakes during this war? Or has he some patent mode of securing Generáis against thid possibility of error ? Doos he know of any officer in the service who can fight 000 mun with 10U.UOUÍ ur can ue name anothcr who could save an nrrny rom destruction wlien meuaced in í'ront, tlank and rear, as MoCiellan's was too ajM ago ? Mr. Cliandler may think he is renderng tho country a service by plunging it nto tbesa bitter (juarrcl about the nerita of men, while tho Union cause ust hovers on the brink of ruin. But ie s very much mistaken. lie is more'y ttrring up strife and dissension wbere horough and hearty unión is required. ie is fauning the ñames of pavty, when every consideration of the public good demand the uuited actiou of all loyal men. He is giving aid ahd comfort to he raen of tho Northern State8 whose learta have been from the beginning in sympathy wilh the rebels, aud who are OW doing everytning they cun to aid ■tlicm bv qreatiug distrust of the governnent in' thü Norlheru States. Nothing could bo more 11-tinied and raischievous .han such euilaavorg.
