A letter has been received at Washington from Hon. James
Guthrie, the distinguished Secretary of the Treasury under General Pierce’s
Administration, which generally sustains the financial view taken by Secretary
Chase. It also approves of General
McCellan’s defensive position upon the Potomac, but he thinks that offensive
operations by the Federal columns are the best plans for driving the rebels out
of Kentucky. General Buell is made the
subject of his high commendation.
