Well, Frank, did you bring home the evening’s paper? inquired Mrs. Nelson, as her son entered the room where she was sitting. Yes, ma'am. Here it is! answered Frank, producing it. But there is no news in it. The Army of the Potomac has not moved yet. I don’t see what makes them wait so long. Why don’t McClellan go to work and thrash the rebels?
You must remember that the rebels have about as many men as we have, answered his mother. Perhaps, if McClellan should undertake to ‘thrash’ the rebels, as you say, he would get whipped himself
That makes no difference, answered Frank. If I was in his place, and the rebels should whip me, it wouldn’t do any good, for I’d renew the battle every day, as long as I had a man left.
