WEEKLY TELEGRAPH.


wHr Is 1ri--One Of The, wonders Of the
world just at this time, is the reason,
good renee, or policy the sensitivsuess
ard even ferceuess Of the friends Of General
McCAnLAN. No word Of criticism Of bis
course can be dropped, however cautious or
free from disrespect, but that Is met with a
ferceuess that leads ,mid man to fear, at
frst thought, that 9 serious wrong has been
committed. This feeling is not surpassed oy
that enecndered in the most warmly contested
Presidential elections We have asked the
question Of these jealous defenders OF the Lieut..
Gene rals fame, for the reason ofall this rancor-
Gus feeling, but DO answer is given but that OF
impatlence and a curtness Of manner. We
cannot, With all our philosophy, understand the
good sense, if there is any iu it, for such exhi
Bision Of feeling. 1t is not unusual we know
TO supply the place Of argument with impatience

argument enough at hand to sustain the course
OF the nominal oommander ofour military forces,

Gen. Shields Resigns--His Division Goes

From the correspondence of the Cincn.
natl papers we learn that Gen. Shields re.
signed Immediately after his nomination as
Major General was rejected. The Gov

the fact over the wires, for what reason
we cannot tell. Shields division of the
army of the Rappahannock passed through
Alexandria during Saturday night, Sunday
and Monday of last week, on route for
Richmond, going by water. The city
literally swarmed with soldiers during these
two days, and being the first chance for a
year the boys have had for a spree, and
being flush, they enjoyed IA hearty one

Shields has rendered his resignation the
command devolvcs upou Gen Ferry. He
is in high favor throughout his command,
and has secured an excellent staff Of young,
energetic and experienced officers.
