Has it never been heard of by General McClellan ? Every drummer boy in Franklin's, Sumner's, and Cox's corps knew the situation, knew that the enemy had concen- trated, knew that Pope had been fighting them for two days. Geiieral McClellan alone, of all his army, did not know it, could not see it ; so Halleck's last dispatch remains unan- swered. And now we are about to present the most remarkable — we weigh and emphasize the words — the most remarkable dispatch ever framed by man wearing a sol...dier's uniform ! We pause a moment before doing it, that our readers may prepare for a sensation at once novel and painful — a pang of shame for our country and our hunianity — a feeling of pro- found horror and contempt for the man who could perpe- trate it. At 2.45 p.m.. Gen. McClellan, in answer to a dispatch from the President asking, " What news from direc- tion of Manassas Junction," telegraphed — The last news I received from direction of Manassas was from stragglers, to the effect that the enemy were evacuating Centreville and retiring toward Thoroughfare Gap.
