the papers as an official document from
under the hand of General Pope. The cor

against General Porter will be doubtless
thoroughly sifted by Judge Advocate Gen

taking the towns of Williamstown and
Hamilton, and destroying the strong and
extensive rebel Notifications in that yicin-
ity, and also to interrupt the reported con
struction of iron-clad vessels at those
points, on the Roanoke river.
The Fortress Monroe correspondent OF

mature and exaggerated accounts of this
expedition.

Clellan's military genius, and who is fully
identified with the brave soldiers of the
Army of the Potomac in their admiration
of that officers qualities as commander.
In what respect, therefore, can Burnside
differ from Mcclellan so as to win the
praises of the latter's foes? II McClellan's
style of generalship is the one admired by
Burnside, what can Burnside do but en-
deavOr to follow Mcclellan? We were
satisfied with Mcclellan. We are satisfied
with Burnside as his successor. The radi-
Gals that have spoken on the subject,
though they rejoice at Little Macs dis
grace" are remarkably silent on the sub
.iect of Burnside. We predict that ere
long they will be maneuyering for another
change.

GaribaIdi In a Serious Condition,

From the New York Times Nov t.
The friends Of Garibaldi will be shocked
to learn that his life is in very serious
danger and they will be equally surpris-
ed to hear that if he dies he will be not less
the victim of bad surgery than of heartless
politics.
In the desultOry and unfortunate firing
that occurred when the Great Liberator
was taken prisoner, it will be remembered
he was shot in the fOot-the wound being
upon the instep. twas exceedingly pain
ful from the start, and the sufferer was at
once removed with great care to Varigna-
no, where he was supplied with four med
ical attendants. The excitement and SYM
pathy Of friends in England led to the
visit of Dr. Partridge, of London, to the
sufferer. He found the four surgeons in
attendance equally divided in opinion as
to whether the ball remained in the wound
ed limb. DIR. Partridge decided that it did
not. (For this visit and the opinion Civ
en- in the case Dr. Partridge charged and
was paid $4,000 New evidence, howev-
Ell, has reversed the decision and the
news now is that Garibaldi must lose his
limb, ''the Only question being as to the
moment and mode of amputation" DR..
Nelaton, one of the most eminent of
French surgeons, has offered his services
as operator, and Garibaldi has accepted
them. The protracted and painful suffer-
ings OF the illustrious patriot have shat
tered his system and left him but a feeble
constitution to resist the shock to which
he is to be subjected. He has been re-
moved to Spezzia, and q few days more
will determine the fate of him who, more
than any living man, sways the hearts of
men. 1t would be the tragedy of modern
ages if the immortal hero who created the
Kingdom Of Italy should be the victim of
ltaly's King.
