Attempt to tSalm-Salm' Him.

AUL01pG w O11u.S6lA
The North is becoming dissatisfied viii
General Mcclellan. The N. York Herald
has opened on him for the ssslow advance
of his army, and says ':the people generally
are beginning to fear that Mcclellan is al
unmitigated humbug." The Washington
correspondent of the same paper writes tina
.'there is strong disposition for McClel
lan's removal; )" that "several members O
the Cabinet desire that Prince Salm-Salm'
(who, we believe, is already an Aid to Nc
CIellan) should have the chief command O
the army;" that "the President is evidently
partial 10 that direction" and "that the
Prince Salm, Salm will meet the Cabinet
on the subject, by special invitation. -
Poor Mcclellan! His glory is on its wane
Unless he speedily does something to arres
the reaction of popular sentiment at the
North, we shall soon find him in the slough
with Fremont. The New York Herald
which has heretofore done nothing but Law
ish him with praises, has turned agains
hiu, and he knows not at what hour be
may be "Salm-Salm.e We give in full
the Heralds Washington dispatch of thi:
interesting subject:
WASHINGTON, October 20, 1S6l.-A
gentleman of distinction and intelligence, s
confidential agent, who has for the past siz
weeks been travelling over the greater par
of Secessia, has lately returned to Wash
ingtou, and is imparting valuable informa
tion to the President. | am not at liberty
to disclose much that will prove interesting
to your readers.
To his great astonishment and joy he ha:
ascertaiued that the appointment of Prince
Salm Salm to high position in the army
has filled the rebels with CONSERVATION and
impotent rage.
The article which appeared in the Herald
several weeks since, describing the appear
ance of the Priace, his illustrious family
high rank and military knowledge, has
been copied into every newspaper Of the
kingdom of Secessia. The rebels have ir
this way discovered that the Princes fami
ly has been for more than FIVE hundred
years renowned for military prowess Seve
raj members of the Cabinet desire that the
Prince should have the chief command Of
the army. The President is evidently par
tial in that direction.
The slow advance of our army counte
nances the delusion, if it be delusion.- -
In fact, hear it significantly remarked here
daily: "Why has not our army reached
Richmond, if all the victories published ir
the papers be realities?" One month more
will give crushing answer to these grum'
blers.
Prince Salm .Salm has just arrived he
will meet the Cabinet this morning, by spe'
cial invitation of President Lincoln and
Secretary Seward. 1 believe the upsho'
will be that he will supersede Mcclellan
and | think I am not alone in the wish that
he may; people, generally, are beginning
to fear that Mcclellan is an unmitigateo
humbug.
The Herald is delighted at the prospect
of the appointment of Prince Salm' 'Salm,
aud goes into raptures over this illustrious
parsonage. "His family" says the Her.
ahl, "has been renowned for military PROV
ess for more than five hundred years. -
The Herald gets inspired on the subject
and grows quite graudiloquent. We make
a few extracts:
Prince Salm-Salm is said to be the most
remarkable looking man in the world. He
is great favorite among the ladies. He
tells me the proper way to pronounce hl'
name is Pshaw. Pshaw!
