"Aucers that won't BORE" are being thrown
among the d,5yis in the rear augers that will ere
ordered 10 the front. Gen. Mcclellan has retired to
the Delaware. Gen. Wadswoth has advanced to
the Rappahannock.
A brief but not bssty look at men and things in
the National Capital has been instructive. The city
has been in a hum for two or three days about the
removal of Gen. Mcclellan from the head Of the
Army Of the Potomac Yet, TO say that there has
been any excitement upon the subject, anything
which, in the slightest degree, resembles protest
of public sentiment against this significant act OF the
Administration would be TO acceptthe infammaiory
exclamations Of half score Of haDgers-on at toe
hotels as the deliberate declarations Of enlightened
opinion. Indeed, the news, falling &c suddenly
upon the general ear has been received In this
focus of gossip and twsddle with surprising calm
ness by the admirers and parisans Of Gen. McCiel.
Ian, while among the thinking and unprejudieed
who have no idol but their country, ii is hailed as
lfto itti Oiiltu VI ihC va 'T'S k''s NH~
lamsiion.
Knowing more than appears upon the snriace as
to the causes of his removal, my advice to the
claQuers of Gen, Mcclellan is TO stay their hands
tin all the i.etr are liz their possession. The letter
of Gen. Halleck is only an instaument Of the cGso-
sud small one, too. That letter shows that Nc
Clellsn repeatedly disobeyed the orders Of his sl-
porior, and then grave gross misrepresentation OF
important transactions as justification of his dis
obed ence. In word lie refused 10 advance aud
attack the enemy when orderedto DO 80, aud thereby
let them escape from him. aud at the same tire fasi-
fed realities ss 70 the grounds upon which he based
bis refusal But, as have already stated these are
but tthe Of the charges that his superors and in'
feriors are able 10 bring against him. And, If the
record ever made up, and an Impartial court-mr-
tia ordered and the whole case afled TO the bottom,
it will disclose r series Of instances Of dsobedencs
to orders extending through a period of eight
months AMI that too, in respect TO the most import
ant matters. II will also show the grosses misbe-
havior iu refusing 10 take advantages Of tie enemy
and in neglectng to follow up successes and crush
the beaten foe. And, in word. II will convince
every homes, mind that the policy Of Mcclellan in
hs conduct Of the army has, more than any other
cause contributed 70 protract the war, give aid and
comfort TO the Rebels, crimson the Land with blood,
sourge us with remorseless taxation, and drag the
country TO the verge Of ruin. Such sn investigation,
too will as.onsh he nation at the amazing l-nsncy
Of the Administration in permitting this man to -
long hold command Of our chief army.
But, at last the deed is done. And, let all rest
aefured that ii will stay done

thing will be expected Of him by the opponents Of
the fallen Chief while bis idozep will scrutinze
his every act with tie eye Of Jealousy, Of envy, and
perhaps Of maignity. Mcclellan having allowed
Lee 20 escape from him, Burr side cannot oveTtake
the maiu body Of the foe ill lie las marched
many, many weary mes-.hsn - find him doubt
less behind iutreuebmeuts bfisting with nuuier-
Gus aud pom ierous cannon. Tie War Depart
ment low knows that JEFF. Davis reviewed
lis ragged legions near Winchester, nearly four
weeks sgo, wbereupon they took up their line Of
march Southward, the main army under Lee passing
through COlpepler more than two weeks since-he
leaving only heavy body Of cavalry, with
sprioking Of artillery, behind to Larras pickels
whenever we attempted to advance, and 10 lefool
Mcclellan or give him seeming excuse for the
snal-ike pace be Lac pursued since be Left AnietAm
eight weeks $50.
We must not, therefore, expect any immediate
results Of startling nature TO follow the exchange
of Burnside for Mcclellan. But We may hope aud
believe that, unlike lis predecessor, the hero Of
Roanoke, Of NewberD, Of Sou'h Mountain, Of An
tieiam Bridge, has bis heart in Biz work. May God
help him 70 demoustrate that where there 10 q will,

The change IN the command Of the Army OF the
Potomac is the Presidents first response to the
Dopu Of rue recent elections. lie recognizes them
as demanding more vigorous prosecution Of the
war. And he is determined they shsll be graiiied.
So LET inoompetency and semSecession, in and out
Of the army, stand out Of the way. Especially let
all croakers harp upon some other string than q"
modification Of tho Proclamation" Not 4 line Of
that immortal document will be altered-not

But, su, the President needs the constant counsel
of earnest men. a straightforward, bold manly,

sword, will bo Of great service 10 Gen. Burnside.
Though the loyal voters Of NewY0rk failed 20 make
