Removal of Gen. Mcclellan.

Gen. Mcclellan, who has so long been an
eye sore to the Abolit:onists, has been re-
moved from the command of the Army of the
Potomac. This brave yourg leader has been
taken from the head of his advancing col
umns, aud ordered to report himself at the
Quiet peaceful town of Trenton, in New Jer-
sey. Gen. Burnside being next in rank,
takes command of the army for the present
1t Is rumored that Gen. Hooker will soon
sGGceed him. This removal of Mcclellan
prodGces intense excitement in the army,
which, almost to man, is dcvotedly attach
ed to him. 1t is said that this change has
for some time been in contemplation, but was
delayed for political reasons the President
fearing that if made before the elections, it
might prove unfavorable to the Republican
party. This objection now being removed,
tho Hero of Antietam has been banished to
the only northern State, we believe, that cast
her electoral vote against the chief magistrate
of the nation, and Commander chief of the
army. IN so doing; " old Abe" no doubt

for the best, while we dread and tear that the
worst results will flow from it. To remove

& Significant Sign of the Times.

The New York Times [Abo.l in late nun
Der says, edTtorially:
"MarfiaI law over the entire North is ma
.ionai necessity. If the Governors Of the
Northern States manifest factious spirit the
Provost Marshalls, it ia presumed, will have
the power to keep them in order. If State
Legislatures should undertake to interfere
with the action Of the General Government,
necessary to the prosecution Of the war, they
will come under the ac' ion Of martial law and
if the action of any political party shall
threaten to change or paralyze the movements
OF she Government, it will doubtless be com
petent for TIE Provost Marshall in any State
to suspend political meetings and postpone
elections. If the Constitution Of The Emitted
States is to be construed according to the ne
cessties of civil war of vast proportions the
constitutions of individual States cannot be
allowed TO stand in the way Of its vigorous
prosecution.
" Englishunen are in great trouble at the
illegality and unGonsttut ioDaiity Of the acts
Of President Lincoln: They have a great
tenderness for the Constitution and the laws,
and feel very badly that the Northern people
while conquering the South, should lose their
own liberties. They tell US that the Presi-
dent cannot do this and that-that his proc
amations are only waste paper. They .ap-
pear to have very little idea of what the com
mander.in-chef of the army and nafy Of the
United States can do A mar Of frtn and
Fesolute will, with a million Of men in arms
to support him, can do pretty much what he
pieases. They have to learn that paper con-
! stitutlons, however convenient they may be,
can be amended when necessary, Suspended
altogether, and IL is no longer question II,
America uhat this or that Constitution au.
| thoJizes, but what is necessary to be done to
make of thirty-four States and a vast terrific
ry one nation"
This is so PLAIN as to render comment ut
terly unnecessary. Let tie reader ponder it
as significant "sign of the Times"

We are coming, Father Abraham, Three

Democratic Rejoicing In Philadelphia.

The conservative people of Philadelphia as
sembied in Independence SQUARE, on Friday
evening, to celebrate the result of the late
elections in Ohio, Indianna and Pennsylvania.
That the result was the triumph Of Popular
constitutional liberty over Executive AFRO
gance and usurpatioh. The meeting was, in
all respects, wurty of the occasion. A dense
mass ofpersons filled the Square, and the ag-
gregate number of those who were in, and
those who were pressing on all sides to get
in, must have been twenty-five or thirty
thousand. The vast concoarse was animated
by the most enthusiastic spirit.

How Mcclellan will Move in Vir-
r ginfa. -.e o

1t is said that military authorities in
Washington concur that Gen. MCCLELLAN
will not push the bulk of his great army
into the valley of the Shenandoah, but,
that he will leave sufficient force in that
quarter, and making Washington his base
of operations, advance into Virginia to-,
wards the Rappahannock. The Virginia
Central Railway is the true base Of opera
tions of the enemy, and one in which they
hold great advantages over US, no matter
how our forces may be disposed. Extend
ing from Richmond to Staunton, it enables
them to rapidly concentrate their army
against our advance north of the Pamunky
river, and at the same time is tapped at
each end by other railroads, which afford
the best facilities for furnishing supplies
and reinforcements. Therefore, this ar
terry of the rebellion in Virginia, must be
severed before we succeed in regaining
that State. 30 -

From the Chippewa Country.

We learn from Rev. Mr.. PEAKE that
Messrs. RUFFY, RUTHERFORD, HENRY BEAU
1EAu and GEORGE BUNGo returned from the
Grand Forks of the Red River to the Chip
pewa Agency and Grow Wing, on Friday
last, by way OF Red Lake, Leech Lake and
Gull Lake.
They report about 1000 Chippewas to
have been collected at the Grand Forks, in
accordance with the call of the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs, tor the purpose of
making treaty with the Government.
Finding that no treaty was to be made,
they demanded, of Mr.. KITTsoN, the Hud-
son Bay Company's goods, which he was
transporting through their. country, and
took possession OF them, leaving him the
teams and empty wagons.
The Chief of the Red Lake Chippewas
told them they had been invited to join in
the late hostile demonstrations of HOLE-IN-
THE-DAY; but he had instructed them not
to do so.
They agreed with the Pembina Indians
to make no treaty the coming winter, and
promised not to go to Washington. Ia.
1t is to be hoped that the Government
may soon succeed in making general
treaty with all the Chippewas.

More Prisoners Escaped.

Mr.. JOHN F. MEAGHER, of Mankato, ar
rived here on the I'd, with Mrs. PRESCOTT,
widow of PH1LANDER PRESCOTT, interpreter,
who was killed at the Lower Agency, and
her daughter. Mrs. PRESCOTT, with other
prisoners, was at the Indian camp, near
the mouth of the Chippewa river, when
the party left that place to attack Colonel
SIBLEY. After the war party left, an In
dian named White Dog took Mrs. PRES
oorT and her daughter, and five persons of
Mr.. QU1NN's family, and started them
down the Minnesota river in canoe. They
arrived at Fort Ridgley last Saturday
night.
Mrs. PRESCOTT gives dreadful account
of the treatment of white captive women
by the Indians. They are subjected to
every indignity and outrage which can be
conceived GEORGE SPENCER is still alive,
and hopes are entertained that he will yet
succeed in escaping.
