up of the powers that used to be in Lncolndom and
the resignation of Scott, Mcclellan, Seward Blair and
Cameron supposed to have been cdused by the imperi
demand of certain parties OF the Fremont wing that
the troops at Washington should mme datey proceed |
to whip the reLels South of Washington aud near
Bull Run possible. Mcclellan and Scott look upon
that thing easy enough talk about, but exceed
ngly hard to do Consequently, they have rather taken
the certainty OF resignation than the chances of another
Bull Run
All these designations and changes tend to break down
the resolution of the Northern Sates-weaken their
knees aud eneebe their backbones be almost certain
failure of their vaunted armada and the almost equally
certain of movements against them South
of Virginia, will tend still more to render them ui

Possibly Fremont may be put in charge. He is said
to be the " coming man." If he's coming, why don't
be come along? If he Is, and he do better on
the Potomac than be has done the Mississippi, the
sooner he comes the better for We want him 10

Not less acceptable that conveying the intelligence
that the supposed impending resignation of Beauregard
is no longer d matter immediate apprehension. We
trust that full and hearty concord between that able
soldier and the distinguished head of the Confederate

Apart from the positive loss which the Contdaracy
would suffer in being deprived of The services OF Off
Ger as able and jealous as General Beauregard is &C
knowledged to be- there would be the great moral effect
of his witbdrawa since, whether correctly not dc
not pretend to say, public opinion equally in Europe
in the Northern and Southern divisions of this Country
has marked him out as Of tie representative

as President Davis himself and consequently bis death
or resignation would produce as marked effect az
! that of the head of the government himself.
1t is useless to speculate upon the probable occasion
of any coldncss difficulty which may have arisen be
tween Messrs. Davis and Beauregard 1t is easy to
derstand how two gentleman, of strong will, arden
temperament and full consciousness of their ndi
viduality might honestly differ in their views and it il
also easy to understand how sensitive like Gene

pressed by the sense of responsibility incident to TIT
position he occupies, should feel hurt when his
mendations are codIy received or coDemptuousy neg
