Gen Mcclellan has been placed in com
mand OF the armies of the Potomac and Of
Virginia, which means that the entire control
Of the Virginia campaign is entrusted to him.
Gen. Pope is relieved Of command at his own
request Gen. Mcdowell is also relieved,
not at bis own request, and bis late com
mand is merged in that Of Heinizelmau SO
far, good.
/ The New York World stated positively on
Saturday that Secretary Stanton handed in
his resignation on Thursday last, that 1t was
accepted, and that Gen. Halleck was appoint
ed Secretary OF War. This report is not
confirmed. and may be set down as at least
premature. But no matter--with Halleck as
General-in- Chief, it is of small consequence
who performs the duties Of the War Office.
The direction OF the army is in good military
hands.
/ We have had full trial Of the Stan,onian
War policy, and 1t is unanimously voted
costly and disastrous failure. Ii has reach
ed its crisis in pope's campaign. and we may
rejoice that we have seen the end Of it. We
shall have no more windy proclamations from
the war office, scouting military science and
military combinations, and declaring the only
elements Of success to be the Spirit Of tho
Lord and moving Immediately upon the en-
emy's works. Neither are we likely to see
any more general orders rdieuling bases Of
supplies, and lines of retreat II has cost
US something to sweep the board OF all such
nonsense, but it is clean gone now. For
which we may well give thanks and take
courage.
The popular confidence in Gen. Mcclellan
has undoubtedly been shaken by the persis-
tent attacks upon him and by the failure of
the peninsula campaign. But the President
and Gen. HaIleck, by placing Mcclellan
again at the head of the entire movement in
Virginia, have declared their confidence in
him To be still firm, and by implication that
they do not hold him in fault for the failure
to take Richmond 1t is remarked that the
army sustans this opinion with wonderful
unanlmity and enthusiasm At all events it
IS determined that we are to be saved under
MeClellan's lead in Virginia, if at all. and no
man can now persist in the attempt to de-
stfoy popular confidence in him without viii
fully damaging the national cause. General
Mcclellan has a noble corps of generals under
hun. With such men as Banks, Burnside,
Hooker, Franklin, Porter, Heintzelman, Sum
ner and Reyes to lead the various divisions
oil the army--and such an army as we shall
soon have-we may well be confident that
victory will be thoroughly organized and
promptly achieved.
The fact that the rebels are already in Ma
ryland does not shake this confidence. We
already have an army strong enough to meet
and destroy them, il well handled, as we be-
heve 1t is to be, and we think we are not to
walt many days before we shall see the loss
and disgrace of the last fortnight avenged and
wiped out.

INVASION OF KENTUCKY.

The correspondent Of the New York Worlo
gives the following views concerning rebel
movements in Kentu ky -
The intentions Of the rebel General Kirby
Smith are clearly not to advance to Covington
unless, indeed, our precipitate retreat should
have invited him. His proclamation issued
at Lexington does not look much like it, He
confesses he will have to look to the Ken
tuckians for food for his troops.
We, in common with many intelligent per-
sons, are of the opinion that this is but ano-
ther raid iato Kentseky Of larger dimensions
than that Of Morgans; that the onomy has
neither tents, baggage nor ammunition for a
protracted stay that he is deficient in artil-
lery and removed from his base Of operations,
and that reasonable diligence with all our
available force would speedily drive him from
the Subsequently, as he has already the
force OF Morgan and Buell. in his rear. Off
GERS of his have been heard to express them
selves that they had no idea of coming fur
Their north. They may strike for Louisville.
and thus attempt to force over Kentucky to
their bastard goyenment-but not TO invade
Ohio. At any rate this would be a fayora
BILE time for Morgan and Buell. TO do some
thing. If they cannot take these rebel forces
IN reverse they ought certainly to seize some
OF the important rebel positions, now that the
bulk OF the rebel army is in Kentucky Half
the success of the foe lies in the art Of acting
as If they were twice their actual strength.

proclamation to the people of Kentucky:

The Republican Committee Of New York
city voted, on Thursday night, that now Is
the time for the President to issue proclaim
alton of immediate emancipation. That IS a
conception of the fitness of things that would
have originated nowheee outside Of New
York. Imagine Stonewall Jackson reading
such proclamation to the rebel army be-
segng Washington They might well con
clude that the last stage of imbecilty had
been reached. The common sense of the
country says-Let us have no more proclaim
ations-no more paper warfare---nothing but
real manly lighting, till we win the power to
punish the rebels.
1t is suggested that Gen. Pope, since the
rebel raids on Catlet's station and Manassas.
probably thinks more of bases and lines oil
retreat than he did 4iew weeks ago.
