fully farewell! Farewell to the man, who, |
while he was yet untried save In the adjutant
generals Office, West Point, praised as among |
hcz nob1cst, and In whose favor now even |
West Point finds it difficult to speak word; |
the man, whose merited disgrace Kentucky !
had influence enough to ward of for fen |
weeks, until she, too, cannot forgive even to
his love Of slavery the s1owness and fuetffcien-
CT which enabled her invader to escape uu-
punished; the hero of one battle or rather Of
half battle at Shiloh, Of one court martial,
that Of Gen. Turchin. >
Welcome to Gen. Rosecrans, who saved
Western Virginia, who best largely superior
and brave enemy at Corintb, who Is prudent
and yet knows how to achieve.
One Of the trlumvirs is dethroned. Ho~.

do not see how McC1ell.n's fall can much
longer be prevented, unless he moves at once
upon the enemy, which, if the report be true
that Gen. Lee has marched Away, 1t is already
too late for him to do. The pressure from
president, cabinet, and general in-chief, from

winter quarters aeain for 200, 900 men on
the Potomac is significant. the false excuses
which those who hone.tly belieye, or di,hon-

founded charges which they bring against the
president, secretary Of war, general-in-chef

If it be confirmed that it ia too late for hin to
