There is a rumor current here, which is based on good authority, that Gen. MCCLELLAN's late movements on the Peninsula have been conducted with entire safety to his command.

Your purpose is to be a danger to the Confederates, not "entire safety" for your command. OK, I'm 160 years late, but McClellan is a perpetual example of how not to be a wartime general.
