Changes in Army Chleftains.

The fact that Gen. Buell. has at last been re-
moved from the command of the Army OF Ken
lucky, looks as though the war in that llcpart
ment was to be waged vigorously. lie was
spared once and retortsd to the command because
The pro Ella very Unioniss Of Kentucky deemed
him essenti Of to their programme of carrying
on the war 80 as not to hurt tho institution :;
but even they have at last become thoroughly
cat 0! patience with him. The escape Of
Bragg with his army and immense supplies,
was too patent evidence of Buell's incompetent
cy and lndolcnce TO be longer concealed Aud
it is due to Kentucky Unionsts to gay that when
tho war is brought to their own doors, and they
are made by bitter expe:ie:.ce to feel the brutal
violence and the indsc1 inmate ravages OF the
rebel soldiery, they are as anxious for decisive
measures and vigorous action as the most ultra
radicals and thus they were made not only
willing but anxious to Get rid Of Buell., and to
have an active, fighting general, the gallsnt
Rosecrans, take his place.
And with this change in the W estern De.
partment come rumors of changes in the Army
of The Potomac, which indicate progress there.
The Herald says that Gen. Hooker 10 to take the
command of that army. and Mcclellan is to be
commander in-chief, while Halleck is to return
to the Western Department. Whether this is
wholly true or not, we, at least, hope it will
prove correct 80 far as the Army in Virginia 8
concerned. McClelan's delays since the battle
of Antietam are entirely unacco untablc, and
any change which takes him from the immedi-
ate control of troops in the Geld can but advance
the Union cause. The country does not care
that the armies SHOULD wait for the elections in
New York, or any where else, before making an
advance and with Hooker in McClellan's place
the Army of ia, Potomac would unquestona
bty advance at once

Who Shall be Adjutant General 2
MONTPELIER, Oct. %, 1862.


EDITOR OF FREEMAN Would il not be expe-
dent and creditable for the Legislature Of Vcr-
mont to tender TO her worthy son, Gen. J. W.
Phelps, of Brattleboro, the office of Adjutant and
Inspector General? Having spent the best ror-
ton of his life in the army Of his country, is he
not likely to understand the wants of the Govern
ment, and will he not be able to respond to its
requirements as promptly and successfully as any
civilian that could be selec,edp
viii not this action of the Legislature be good
evidence to the friends OF freedom abroad, that
Vermonters heartily endorse the liberal, philan-
thropc and magnanimous views entertained by
Gen. Phelps, and will it not be rebuke to the
sanderous insinuations that he is a monomaniac?
Is it not consistent for Vermonters to call to this
public trust, a man whose character for integrity
and high moral worth is above suspicion, and who
enjoys tie envable reputation of being scrupuous-
ly honest, and possessing in an emine Mt degree,
all those traits so requisite in the character OF an
efficient and successful business man? Gould the
soldiers who have served under him, decide this
question, they would answer in the affirmative,
and could they vote they would deposit ballot
for Gen. Phelps as token of respect an! an act
of GRATITUDE.

The political campaign in New York is wax
sng hot, and the Seymourites are getting quite
bold in their semi-secesson sentiments. Fer
nando Wood who is Democratic candidate for
Congress, boldly declares that if such men as
lie were in power, we could have peace without
firing another gun and the kind of peace that
he would agree upon it is not difficult to conjec-
turo. lie also said lie would rather live under
a splendid despot than such an administration
rs the present. When we read such declara.
4ions as these, made in public meeting, and
enthusiastically checred, it IS not difficult to un-
derstand that the rebels, in their despair of other
help for their cause, arc looking to the great
State of New York, at her coming election, in
hope that Democratic triumph there will par
aiyze the arm of the Government, and help the
rebellion to its ultimate triumph

ONO ELECTION. The telegraph brings us the
following
The Off .ia returns Of the Ohio election give
democratic majority on Supreme Judge of 500.
The democratic vote has increased 35 900 since
last year, and the Union votes decreased % 600.
The total vote Of the State shows falling off
of 78, 600 since the Presidential election.
The above statement is no, entirely clear. If
the democratic vate has " increased =" 3j 900,
and the Union vote decreased - % ,000, 1t is
tolcrably clear that the whole vote Of the State
has increased 1000, instead of decreasing 49,.
coo. There is evidently something wrong about
these figures and when the correct figures are
obtained, we believe that it will turn out that
it is the absonce of republicans in the war that
has caused the main changes in the popular ma
jorities.

SESsArIoSARr.-The New York Herald which
has a reputation for starting fabulous stories,
has given currency 10 the following double .en-
saton
The Governors of Illinois and Indiana have
gone to Washington to attend the gubernatorial
conference. They will probably remain over
Sunday at Harrisburgh, and then proceed to
Washington with Governor Curtin.
In addition to propositions to be submitted to
the Convention, demanding a change in COM
mand Of Eastern and Western armies in the
feld-vigorous prosecution of the war, and
change in treatment of rebels, [ have it that
propositions have been received in Washington
from leading Southern men, suggesting the hold
ing OF National Convention. at which repre-
sentatives of all States OF the Union shall attend
to consider the feasibility of settling present
difficulties
1t is understood that the South proposes as
basis of settlement, first that the North shall
recognize the State rights doctrine OF secession,
which they claim is to be found in the resou-
tions of ninety eight and ninety mine, written
by Jefferson and Madison Second, that they
return iugitves from labor, or pay their value
to their owners
1t is also understood they will accept the
Crittenden compromise as basis OF settlement
relating to slavery in the Territories. II the
Governors do not sanction holding such Con-
vention, then they are to unite in demanding of
the President vigorous prosecution of the war.
The first of these stories has already been
contradicted and is undoubtedly false, and the
second has unquestionably no better foundation
than the imagination of the writer

GENERAL STATUTEs.-The Legislature are at
work in earnest with the revision of tile laws,
and are making very good progress. They are
contentiDg themselves with letting well-enough
alona, aud so are nos attempting to do much be-
sides making verbal alterations which will serve
to make the meaning more clear and precise
This becomes something of a labor on account
of many errors and inaccuracies, which escaped
the notice Of the COMMITTEE on Revision, but
from present appearances session Of six or sew
en- weeks, a, iarthest, will be sufficient to COM
pete the work. The other legislation of the
session is we'll advanced and the House have
al,eady shut the door against tho admission OF
any more bills. The present week will forward
business very much,-as much, certainly, if we'll
used, as the whole session thus far and if made
'corking 0ctk will finish up half the work
;,hIch there is any need of doing.

RAILRoA The railroad interests in the State
are in agitation this session. Tic application for
charter for parallel road f:om Castleton to
Rutland has set the elements in motion, and
disturbed somewhat the harmonious and cons0l-
idalcd action (legislative) of the various roads
in the State. Those DESTROYS of a charter for a
road from s.: Joansbury to Island Poad, have
taken advantage of this troubling of the waters,
and have pu. their bill again before the legisla
tive and we are told tina, an influential in
terest which opposed this application last fall
is not now hostile to it. Whether either Of
these applications will succeed it ism t now easy
to say, Though as an independent proposition
it would seem that the State would be justified
in giving charter for road any where where
capitalists would furnish the money to build
one.
