The Removal Ct Buell..

Gen. Buell. has been displaced. So far
as abolition malice and de.rac.ion could 81
feet it, he has been dograced He can much
better afford 10 retire from command, and
rom the duties and responsibilities il i'm
posed, than the country can afford to dis
tense ith his services. He has his rec
ord, closing with his dismissal. These
who have been most forxard to assail and
mslign him are foolish enough TO suppose
his supersedure will degrade hi;l before
the country. Ii will not. 1t will only
bring si.ame upon those who demanded
his dismissal and upon the Ccmmsuder-
in-Chief who was weak enough 70 comply
with the pressure Donelson, Shiloh, Cor
inth, and Perryville. cannot be blotted out
by the order for him to turn over bis com
mand 10 Gen. Rosecrans. The temporary
success OF abolitlonism in procuring his
displacement will only add to the infamy
that the party is daily piling up against it
self> The reason given for his displace-
mcnt is the failure to capture Bragg and
his army. 1t is not csimed that he has
not made the greatest possible eIertion TO
accomplish this. 1t is not asserted that
his arrangements have not been skillful and
carried out far AS the endurance of his
army would permit their execution. There
is not specification of want OF skill or
activity or courage made against him in
any of his late movements against Bragg.
He is dismissed upon the vague general
charge that he should have captured the
rebel army and failed to do 80. This is the
reason assigned fol his dismissal. and
senseess and unjust as it is. infinitely
more reputable than the true reason. Gen.
Buell. was dismissed because he was attack
ed by aboliiionism; because we have a
President who cannot withstand its pres
sure In struggle Of lie and death,
where every hope. and interest of the nation
is on the hazard, our most loyal and sue
cessful Generals are deposed from com
mand at the bidding of ignorant and mali
cious fanatics. This is all there is of Bu-
eII's displacement. Let TIE country know
the reason, and BE- prepared for the decap-
itation OF other true and tried men who are
now assailei by partisan mslignity.- Chi

Hsnrr0sa for Goldfish!

that his father acquired the property
which his fool Of a son is making himsel 1t

The Rev. DR.. Bellows in his late sc

The Rev. Dr. Bellows in his late SER
mon on slavery said.
"The policy of the utter destruction OF
slavery and the slave power once svowed,
the next Is TO cashier every General who
dares 10 question or disregard it, To dis
miss every Cabinet officer who disputes Ii
and 10 silence every press that lifs Its
guilty columns against it.
1t is only Wholesome fear that prevents
abolitionists from adopting the counsel OF
this blatant priest. The denunciation OF
all who oppose it rs traitors, and the bit
ter curses heaped upon them by unscrupu
lous newspapers and venomous priests OF
the Bellows school, show how far their
revenge and malice would carry them il
they dared TO give them rein.
If DIR. Bellows is so deeply interested in
he extinction of slavery, why does he not
shoulder musket and help crush it?-
Why does not Beecher, who asserts that
"there is more moral force in one OF
Sharpe's rifles than in hundred bibles, -
join the army? He lately told recrnit
ing officer thai he nsulted him in asking
him TO enlist. Why should these PERM
cious brawlers lie exempt from draf?--.
They are courageous in the pulpit, and the
majority Of them able bodied.
