By order of the President, Gen. Nc
CLELLAN has been relieved from the COM
mand of the Army of the Potomac, and
Gen. BURNSIDE appointed in his place.
While we cannot refrain from expressing
our sincere regret at the supercedure OF
MCCLELLAN, and the belief that it was
brought about by the persistent malignity
of his personal enemies, we rejoice that the
President has bestowed the command of
the splendid army created by MCCLELLAN,
upon warm personal friend Of the latter,
and an able and tried soldier. We trust
he may be fortunate enough to lead it to
victory, and escape the detraction and
malice which was bestowed on his prede-
cessor
-FITz JOHN PORTER has also been re-
lieved of command and ordered to Wash
ington to answer charges preferred against
him by POPE.
Gen. Wool has been superseded by
Gen. SCHENCK, of Ohio.
The news Of army operations is unim-
portant. The rebels, it is said, are mass
ing on the Rappahannock, and intend to
fight great battle. Gen. JOE. JOHNSON
succeeds LEE in command of the rebel
forces North of Richmond.
The new rebel iron-clad Merrimac is
below Fort Darling and may be expected
further down in few days.
Gen. BUTLER has taken possession OF
plantations below New Orleans, and is set
ting the contrabands to work.
Dispatches to the papers state that the
rebel forces are retreating to Gordonsville,
and will there give us battle. Our forces
were at Culpepper Court House on Friday
last
The New York Times story about
threatening dispatches from the French
Government having been presented to Sec
rotary SEWARD, is denied by the French
minister The report about an important
Cabinet meeting, and what Gen. HALLEcK
said about levy en- masse of our whole
population, is. of course, equally destitute
OF foundation.
Yesterday (Monday) was the day APP
pointed for the draft in Milwaukee, which
is some hundreds behind its quota. a
procession composed of Germans and
others paraded the streets with band OF
music and a banner inscribed ''no draft. "
As there was no military force to protect
the commissioner, he declined toproceed,
and subsequently the Governor postponed
the draft until further orders. When the
day is again fixed, there will probably be
force at hand to repel any outbreak. The
government must not allow itself to he
inundated by mob.
-NashviIleis relieved from siege. Gen.
McCooK's division arrived in the city
on Thursday last, and the rebel forces
evacuated MurfreesborO and 'McMinville,
and are reported to have gone to Chatta-
nooga
There has been great deal said about
the army of the Potomac not being sup
Piled with clothing. 1t appears now that
the reouisitions were filed, but delays in
TRANSPORTATION prevented their reception
by the army.
The New York Tribune, Not very
good authority says the investigating
Commission on the surrender of Harper's
Ferry. throw the blame on Col. FORD, COL
MILES, Gen. Wool, and Gen. MCCLELLAN.
We have an account of another draf
riot in Wisconsin. We trust that the
government will have energy enough to put
down such demonstrations effectually, and
at once. wherever they may occur. If it
once succumbs to the mob, on any pre-
tence. we shall soon be exposed to anarchy.
if draft can be resisted with impunity, it
will not be long before combinations will
be formed to resist the payment of taxes.
Gov. SALoMoN owes it to himself and the
government, to makea stern example of
those who resist the draft
General ROsEoRANs and staff have an
rived at Nashville. The reports about the
starving condition of the inhabitants, were
unfounded The guerillas are making the
condition of the country scarcely less des-
desolate than the regions in Virginia,
which have been devastated by the con-
tending armies Of both sections -
