SigeP 8 Case.

The Washington correspondent Of the Tri6-
une says Sigel has osked to be relieved Of his
command. His letter to the President gives
the lollowig reasons for the course he has found
it necessary to pursue
lst. Because he was placed under the
command of junior officer without the
knowledge of the President, although the
President alone has the power to place u
Junior over a senior Of the same grade.
% Because bis command has gradually
been reduced FIRST by removals from it of
two divsions-Cox's and Cook's--and
then of two brgadcs-Pati'S and Mil
roy's.
Sd. Because none Of the regiments
raised cxpressefy for him, except one have
been assigned TO him, nor have Others been
! assigned to him in their places.
| 4h. Because of grossly abusive man
ners in which IIoleck has treated him
personally and officially.
5th. Because his little command has
been placed in exceedingly exposed position
4 ordered to perform tasks that arc impos
siblc for it and require large command
h. Because he cannot procure horse
or cQuipage for his artillery and cavalry
and hence those arms of the service ar
comparatively useless to him.
7th. Because all his requests and re
questions are neglected or efused, on ac
count of which his troops are discouraged
and comparatively in, fficieDt, and man,
have not been paid for six mouths.
9Th. Because he cannot expect fai
treatment, and because bis troops, for whor
he is doubly concerned, are made the in
nocent suffers on his account. lie is pei
Suaded they would fare better under anOthe
commander.

America to be one slave holding Union uu-

arated, and that vast number of North

old U. S. become one Monarchy than two

Gen. mecIenan,s worst Enemles.


The worst enemies that Gen. Mcclellan has
got are those parasitical politicians who have
fastened themselves to his military skirts, with
bSprocrities pretentinBs Of adoriug admiration

Express, and who are endeavoring to make
balloon of his popularity, inflated by monstrous
putting and sickenipg incense Of lattery, that it
may serve to lift broken down party upon its
legs again. IfGen. Mcclellan can stand this
turgescent operation that is being practised up
Oh him, his greatness will have stood a harder
test than heroic genius was ever subjected to
before. The abuse Of open enemies cannot
harm him in the least degree. if he really proves

Oh substantial successes He may treat every
assault upon himself with utter indifference aud

Of this GuIsOme praise and disgusting adulation
he cannot be Indifferent. 1t must cause him q
hundred-fold more anxiety and apprehension
than all the detraction that be has TO endure.
The Inevitable effect OF sch an endless Ldudd-
mrs, chanted in the ears Of the people with sing

This is what Gen. Mcclellan has to fear from

exclaim, Save me from my friends" it is for bin

Gus calling is likely TO do him, in either posi-

ing Of the two. 1t cannot fail to operate il
that way and, indeed il has done so to a con
