The Situation.

The croakerS and rebel sympahiscrs,
that is to say, the buttcrnut Democracy.
have during the past week been III high glee
over the sensation rulnors with which the
mir has been filled. of the cSi.nation of
liallcck aud Burnside and Il general smash
TAP in the Cabinet ut Washington. All sorts
of absurd stories have been put in circula
ton by the organs of that party about Burn
side having been forced to advance at Fred
.cickshurg in spite of his own Judgment.
and every effort was being made to seduce
him into the embrace of the men who are
plotting the ruin of the country. Regard.
ing these rumorcd designations as the be-
ginning OF the long.lookcd.for revolution
that was to dcstroy the Administration. and
restore to power the sympathiSers with the
Rebellion they were chHckling like demons.
and saw in prospective, Il Cabinet construct
I'd whose fundamental idea was to replace
Mcclellan in command of the army and
offer an armiSticc to the rebels. But alas
for all their hopes and schemes The rc>ig
nations in the Cabinet and the Army for
Which they prayed so dcvoutly, have not
taken place. Every member of the Cabinet
retains his portfolio as formerly. llallcck
is still Gcncra-in Chief. and Burnside yet
Commander of the Army of the Potomac.
But the sorcSt blow the tratorous organi-
zation has received is that dealt them by
the report of Gen. Burnside, which we pub
fish in another column and commend to
the especial attention of our readers. 1t
rifrctually diSpoScs of the infamous ISLANDERS
these miserable creatures have been circu-
ating to the dcrmcnt of the Government.
and ilattcns out all the rising prospects Of
thc bogus Democracy. In it the General
assumes the entire responsibility of the
movement on the Rappahannock and in
so dong exhibits Il moral courage that will
douhly cndcur him to the hearts of his loyal
conntrymcn. General Burnside has dis.
played. SO far true courage all the qualities
that constitute a hero. IL patriot and a true
christian soldier, and we thank him for his
valor, hi, Indignantly and his PATRIOTISM
BY his course he has infused new life into
the Union cause and the prospects for a
speedy suppression of the Rebellion are
brighter to-day than thcy have been for
months.
