WASHINGTON, Nov. g.
The Monitor left Washington navy yard
yesterday evening and passed down the Poto-
mac river.
Maj. Gen. Hunter will in few DAYS return
to the department of the South.
The first information the public received of
relief of Gen. Mcclellan from the command of
the army of the Potomac was through the tel
egram published this morning. 1t affords a
general theme of conversation, the event oc-
curing Unexpectedly. The cause of the En-
ecutive action in the premises does not appear
to be known outside of official circles, and
hence the absence of facts gives arise to con-
fiictng speculation. Gen. Mcclellan, ii is
said, passed through Washington to-day on
his way to Trenton.
The friends of Gen. Hooker say he has suffi-
GENTLY recovered from his wounds to resume
his duties in the field.

for every denomination of the different kinds of
stamps will be finished, and all orders will be
promptly supplied. When this can be done
an order will emanate from this department,
giving notice after certain day stamps must
be used or the penalty will be enforced in all
cases where stamps can be promptly furnished
by Government on application.

SILVER CHANGE.-The merchants and bust
ness men of this city, with very few exceptions,
have signed an agreement to take half dollars
for sixty cents, quarters for thirty cents, dimes
for twelve cents and half dimes for six cents
each, and to pass them out for the same
amount. We have before us the list of signers
to the above agreement. 1t comprises the dry
goods dealers, provision dealers, booksellers,
shoe dealers, crockery ware dealers, fruit deal
ers, and, in fact, every class of traders in the
community. tits to be hoped that this system
will put some stop to the traffic in small change
which has been SO extensively carried on, and
which has made the article so scarce in the
market

REBEL TRoPHY.-We saw in the CONNER

and j. r. Poinsett as Secretary of War, and
bears date July 10th, 1898. This trophy was
found in the house of Chase at Pensacola, Fla,
last month by Charles b. Thurston of this
city, (son of Mr.. Brown Thurston,) now con-
nected with the staff of Gen. Dow, who occu-
Ply the house Of Chase, who is now a Colonel
in the rebel army.

ARREST OF GEN. BRAGG.
REBEL FORCE AT MOBILE.
LOUISVILLE. Nov. g.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 8.
Gen. McCook's army corps, comprising
Gems. Hills, Woodruffs and Sheridan's divis-
ions, reached Nashville on Friday. Gen. Crit
tenden's division arrived at Gallatin on Fri
day, and was moving down towards Nashville
Gen. Cheatham, with portion of Bragg's
army was at Murfreeshoro'. The remainder
of Bragg's army, with the exception of $1,000
men, had left the Cumberland Gap, and were
pushing towards Nashville.
Gen. Bragg had been put under arrest, and
was superseded by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
His failure in the Kentucky campaign, it is
said was the cause of his arrest. Nothing had
been heard at Murireesboro', which was in
constant telegraphic communication with Mo-
bile, of the capture of the latter city. There
are $1,000 rebel troops at Mobile.

Arrival Of MIR. Cameron from

FEELING IN EUROPE.
CLUB IN LIVERPOOL.
Desti.ution in England.
NEW YORK. Nov. &,

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.
Hon. Simon Cameron arrived by the Scotia.
The feeling in Europe is described by Mr.
Cameron as strongly increasing i'm consequence
OF the continued inactivity of the federal army
In England it is thought that no active inter-
yention will take place until parliament meets
The success or failure of the present campaign
will probably decide the matter, and only de-
cided victories on our side will dispel the idea,
IN his opinion. 1t is generally understood in
England that rebel naval attack on our At
antlc cities Is IN preparation. Three immense
iron clad steam rams, the most powerful ever
constructed, are building in English ship yards.
and with these il is supposed the rebels will
attack our Northern cities. They have an es-
peca desire to make dash at New York and
even If the enterprise were but partially sue
cessful, the presence Of rebel war vessels in
New York harbor, il only for an hour, would
have great effect abroad. There is seces-
sion club in Liverpool numbering 800 men,
beers, who provide funds to furnish vessels TO
run our blockade. No individual member of
this society is allowed to know what any other
member contributes. The sympathy for the
rebels in England is daily increasing and de-
lay III federal advance is interpreted as a
tacit admission of our inability TO cope with
the enemy. Mr.. Cameron thinks that the for
tifcations OF New York should be at once at
tended TO, and is surprised that the danger of
an attack on our city IS not more fully appre-
ciated here.
Manchester letter in the London Times,
dated Oct %, states that 7,S45 additional pau
pers were added to the poor law statistics dur
ing the week. Every day mills are closed,an
hundreds are reduced to destitution. Business
at Manchester was at stand still. Gladstones
speech created quite panic, many manufac-
turers stopping their mills altogether. A let
ter says il is expected that 100000 persons will
be dependent on charity the coming winter.
Destruction of an Orphan Asylum by Fire
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.
The Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum for
boys, on Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, took fire
from heater at two O'Clock this morning, and
was totally destroyed. There were PAS chill
dren in the building, nearly all of whom were
saved. Only Two are yet known to be dead,
though it is feared some are in the ruins
Two hundred and twenty-five were brought
to the female branch Of the Asylum in Con-
gress Street this morning, and it is hoped the
balance will be accounted for, as many OF those
rescued were found snug in bed in private
houses in the neighborhood. Citizens and fire.
men turned out en- masse in the storm to rem
der their services in the cause of humanity,
and but for their efforts it would have been a
terrible calamity.

The order relieving Maj. Gen. Mcclellan

o'clock last night. 1t was entirely unexpect-

Hooker takes his place. The removal of Gen.

FROM MISSOURI.
Rebels driven from POcahOntas.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 8.
We have nothing of special interest from
Gen. Schoteld's army. The rebels do not APP
pear to have attempted to regain their lost
advantage, or to repossess themselves of any
part of Missouri. The rebels have been pur-
sued into the Boston Mountains, and will GER
tainly be compelled TO retreat beyond the Ar
kansas river.
The rebel column that was to take Pilot
Knob and Girardeau from the southeast by
way of Pocahontas, have not achieved such a
result. On the contrary they have baen driv-
en- from Pocahontas, and portions of General
Steele's forces are so disposed at Pittman's
Ferry and other points that it will be imposs-
bic for the enemy to obtain foothold in that
quarter.
