Frank on a Gun-Boat

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.
