cORANEOIS IiLTOEf.
Gen. Halleck's contribution TO cotemporancOus
history. 10 which we alluded in dispatch of FIJI
day oslt, and which you will probably be enabled
TO pubsh tomorrow, throws much light on some g
the mose immediate reasons which Satisfied the
Prssideut hat Gen. McClellan should be removed.
The report Of the Military Commission touching the
sarreude, of Irarpers Ferry contains facts which
form pat Of the case against the superseded Ma
jor-Geueisl. II is, however, TO be said that the
step which has been taken ls by no means hasty
one. Il WAS foregone conclusion weeks ago that
Gen. Mcclellan should give up his command 70
some more active and energetic General WHO was
able and willing TO wage an offensive war. I'm
doubtecly it was within Gen. McClellan's power
20 postpone the day Of reckoning, had he obcyed or
aers and engaged the enemy as II victorious com
bic saddle; but when il became question between
DISPLAYING him aud allowing the army TO go into
Winter quarters, there could be no hesitation. We
are happy 20 learn, through officers of the Potomac
Army who Lave come into town since the change
was Effected, that The army will gladly fight under
Burnside. lie should have said that tie officers
would. The army, left to iisef. will fight under
ANYBODY WHO shows himself lit TO be its leader.
Parissrslip is known at the oficers mess-iablts,
bat not ia lhs private soldiers tent. except as in.
spire3 fom those meis-,abes. We understand that
some OF these shonliers.rapped gentry, who fre-
quent orr hotels, leard 10 say, last night, that
they wcnld never serve under any one but Gen.
Geo. Il. Mcclellan. We true. tley win not lie
given Az opportunity. Il Is 30, ,1ue as stated, thai
Gen. Burnside is only temporarily in command lie
pec.s 20 lake die field tomorrow, will have the next
iupo,tar, command under Gen. Burnside.
