~ Mcclellan stated to some Of his
staff on the day before the order removing
him from command was received, that
within three or four days at the farthest he
expected to fight the greatest battle of the
war, and gain victory for the Union that
would end the rebellion. 1t is matter OF
great regret to his friends that he should
have been removed at the time when his
plans were nearly matured for a successful
fight. We sincerely trust that Burnside
may realize the expectations of his friends,
and give the death blow to the rebellion
which Mcclellan hoped to deliver.

been termed the "Iron Brigade" has shar-
ed the honors Of victory as well as the hor-
rors Of defeat. The battle. fields Of Bull
Run, Gainesville, South Mountain, and An.

was throughout an arbitrary affair. That
there was not good ground for the arrest is
shown by the discharge; and the refusal
to grant trial, or render an apology to
the party arrested, is display Of injustice
that should not be rendered to any citizen
of this Republic.
Mr.. Mahony is no beau ideal of ours
nevertheless as o citizen Of Iowa and of the
United States he has rights which Presi'

opinion, here as elsewhere, insists that
traitors to this government, and swindlers
of the government, shall be promptly ar

it insists also that the jerking up Of citizens
in summary manner, by irregular process
is bad in theory, and dangerous in practice.
