EPIToME OF NEWS.

Gen. Mcclellan was, on Saturday,
relieved from the command Of the Army
of the Potomac. He is succeeded by
Gen. Burnside, and Gen Hooker has the
first command under the latter. In con-
nection with these military changes, we
have report from Washington that an
official announcement will be made early
this week by Gen. Hslleck that will as
tonish the country. The removal Of Gen
Mcclellan, and the appointment Of Gems.
Burnside and Hooker, may be taken by
the country as guarantee Of = vigorous
war policy. The new Commander is a
man Of admitted ability and great ener-

The Burden on Newspapers.

The Burden on Newspapers.
No interest more seriously feels the
war than the newspaper interest, and it
seems almost to be without remedy, for
while all other dealers can raise the price
Of their wares to suit emergencies, for
some reason, inexplicable, it is very diff
cult to raise the price of a newspaper
Partly this is the fault Of the public, and
partly that Of publishers themselves for
it cannot be denied that newspaper men
have peculiar fondness for cutting each
others throats, financially as well as NOR
ally.
We see that the papers in very many
cities have raised their price, and we can
not see any other remedy for the burden
the newspapers labor under.
Upon this matter the Baltimore Ameri
can uses the following language:
At the present price of printing paper
the subscribers to newspapers are scarce
" paying more for their printed sheets
than the prime cost Of the white paper Oh
which they are printed. The advance in
price in the last ten days is fully twenty
five per cent But this is not all. We are
threatened with still further advance,
and the probability is that the white sheet
will soon cost more than the subscriber
pays for the printed sheet.
The increase in the cost of paper is said
to be mainly caused by the fact that the
Government contractors are using rags in
the manufacture of blankets and cloth for
the army, producing the article called
"shoddy." They have bought up all in
the market, and will in due time force up
on the Government this miserable sub
stitute for cloth. Another cause for the
advance is the Government tax on paper,
and all the chemicals used in its manufac.
ture.
There is probably no species Of business
so heavily taxed as the newspaper propri-
etor. He is required to pay all these
combined taxes on the paper manufacture,
has an additional tax of three per cent
on all the advertisements in his paper
and pays the tux on all the other materia
used in his business. Then his income
if any should be left, is taxed, and unless
he advances the price to be paid by hi
readers-which will be light to them
the probability is that he will at leas
escape the tax on incomes.

Harper's Ferry Commission.
New YoRK, Nov. |.

NEW ORk, NOV. ~.
The Tribune prints the report of the
Harper's Ferry commission, and gives
the following synopsis of the facts elicit
ed, editorially:
The material facts are as follows: Col.
Miles was in command at Harper's Ferry.
Gen. White was present from September
18th till the surrender, but did not as
sume command. Col. Ford took com
mand Of Maryland Heights September
9th. Gen. Mcclellan left Washington for
Rockville Sept 7th, most of his forces
having preceded him. The enemy at
tackled Maryland Heights on the morning
of Sept 18th. The l2 tn New York
broke and fled disgracelully, and the
breastworks on the hill were lost. Col.
Miles WAS on Maryland Heights that even
ing for some hours, consulting with Col.
Ford. He left between and II O'Clock,
without directly ordering Col. Ford to
evacuate the Heights. bat with instrue-
tions to spike his guns if compelled to
abandon. About o'clock Col. Ford
abandoned the heights. The enemy did
not occupy them, and the next day Col
d'Utassey sent over four companies who
brought away four guns and a wagon
load of ammunition. After the evacua-
ton of Maryland Heights, Col Miles sent
word to Mcclellan, then at Frederick
City, that unless reinforced he would not
hold out forty eight hours.
Mcclellan therefore dispatches mes
sage to Gen. Franklin. who was engaged
with the enemy at Crampton's Gap, who'll
ly unable to give the needed assistance, or
to give it in time. Mcclellan appears to
have made no other efforts to relieve the
place. The enemy attacked Harper's
Ferry on the morning of the 18th, and
at eightA. M. the surrender was agreed
on, Col. Miles representing to the brigade
commanders whom he consulted, that his
ammunition was nearly exhausted, and
they concurring in his decision to sur.
render. The commission acquit General
White, Col. D'Utassy and Col. Trimble
of all blame for this surrender, and praise
the capacity of the former. They find
that Col Ford was given by Col. Miles
discretionary power to abandon the
Maryland Heights, but that the exercise
of this discretion was premature, that he
conducted the defense with no ability,
and that his exhibition of lack of capaci
ty disqualifes him for command. COL
Miles is convicted of incapacity and Grim
inal neglect, especially in neglectng to
fortify and hold Maryland Heights, the
key of the position, and evidence stated in
the report concerning bis course with
the rebels is such as to raise the strong
est suspicious of treachery. Also, Gen
Wool is gravely censured for placing SC
incapable an officer as Col. Miles in com
mand.
Concerning Mcclellan, the evidence
adduced in the report and the opinion
expressed by the Commission are mos
direct and damaging. The General in
Chief testiies that Gen. Nc cClellan, after
receiving orders to drive the enemy from
Maryland. marched on an average only
miles per day in pursuit, and that, in his
opinion, he both could and should have
relieved and protected Harper's Ferry
In this opinion the Commission fully
concur.

Voting in the Army.

The following paragraph which we clip
from one Of our exchanges will speak fol
itself, and goes far toward explaining the
recent elections in Ohio and Indiana, and
which is termed by the victors the late
revolutions in public sentiment"
"By the law Of Iowa, the volunteers
from the state are enabled to vote. So
far as heard from, the vote of the various
camps stands thus: Republicans 1910;
Democrats 1856, which is quite satisfacto-
ry as to which party is serving their coun'
try in the field. This is more than five
to one. And We have no doubt the pro
portion is much greater in Indiana, Ohio
and Pennsylvania"

The following are extracts from Ten.
Halecks letter:

To E. NJ. Stanton, Secretary Of war;

cations contained in your letter OF yes

by his staff officers on the Chiefs OF Bu-

plies by his Chief Quartermaster on the
Quartermaster General, for commissary
supplies, by his Chief Commissary on the
Commisary General, DC. No such requi.
sltions have, to my knowledge, been made
upon the Secretary OF War, and none
upon the General-n- Chief.
Second-On several occasions Gen.
Nc Clellan has telegraped me that his ar
my was deficient IN certain supplies. All
these kilograms were immediately .,ierred
TO the heads OF bureaus with orders to
report. There has not been SO far as |
could ascertain any neglec, or delay in
any department or bureau in issuing all
the supplies asked ior by Gen. Mcclellan
or by the officers OF his staff. Delays
have occasionally occurred in forwarding
supplies by railroad, on account OF the
crowded condition OF the railroad depots
or Of want of sufficient number Of

The Federal forces have taken pos.
session of Warrenton. They met with
no resistance. 1t is reported that the
great body Of Lees army crossed the
Rappahannock some time since, and is
now in Richmond. Whether this is so or
not, 1t is evident that Lee retreated from
Winchester before Nc Clellan crossed the
Potomac.
1t is stated, in dispatch from Phil
adelphia, that Gen. Nc Cellan disobeyed
orders from Gen. Halleck, in consequence
of which Gen. Lee escaped, and that this
was the immediate cause of his removal.
