EvANsvILLE. IND. THURSDAY MORNING,

ordered Gen Mcclellan to move without
further delay on the enemy, but that 1t
was not done-that several newspapers
simultaneously, as if inspired from the
same quarter, commenced speaking OF
the lack of supplies for the Potomac
army as the cause of its inaction-and
that thereupon the quartermaster gene
raj and commissary general at Washing
ton proved from their books that every
requisition on them by Gen. Mcclellan
had been filled"
But the President was responEble Tor
keeping these officers SO long in their
places-a responsibility he has acknow-
lodged by removing the two who were
doing the most damage, or, rather, ac-
complishing the least good. If the Pres'-
dent ordered Mcclellan to move, and he
reffsed, the President ought not to have
tolerated such insubordination for an in
stant, but have deprived Mcclellan of
his command, and handed it over, as he
has since done, to more worthy sue
cesSor.
The daily Evansville journal. (Evansville, Ind.) 1862-1863, 1862-11-13

nG- The Washington correspondent
of the New York Post has the following
in regard to the effect of the New York
election upon the President. It would
seem to a dispassionate observer that
Gen. Mcclellan has felt the effects of the
election more sensibly than any one else:
1t is said the President is grieved at
the result of the election in New York;
but if any Democrat in that State i'm
magines thathe will change his course or
his policy because of the result, he is
wofully mistaken. He will not retreat
from his proclamation, nor will the draft
be abated in any State because of any
election, State or Congressional The
government fully realizes the fact that
what it has to do must be done with dis
patch, and that going into winter quar-
ters means disgraceful peace and an end
of the war-peace and general disinte-
cation. The army, therefore, will not
go into winter quarters, unless it is pos
sible for its Commanding General to
overrule the President. There was con-
siderable excitement over the election
news last evening, but it has died out
already, and people generally acquiesce
in the result good naturedly.
