A prevalent opinion here 10 that among the causes
which contributed 70 the defeat Of the Union Repub-
lcan party in Indiana, if no, in Ohio also, the
retention OF Gen Buell. III command, against the
advice of tie leading men, friendly to the Admins
tration, in The States north Of Kentucky. IL has
already been stated that the order sIpersediDg Gen.
Buell. was suspended by tho PreSident ia Difference
to the wishes Of Kentucky politicians and generals
II is 10 be added that upon the reception OF the news
of bis removal in Ohio and Indiana, prominent
Republicans in those States teegraphed their hearty
saiisfsciion and congratulated the President upon
having taken tho one step which was needed to give
the Administration political victory in both States
The next dsy brought q large number Of kilograms
from the same sources Of an entirely different COM
plexon, bewailing the retention OF the slowcst OF
Western generals in command, and predicting that
the elections would show the want Of confidence feb
by the people in the conduct of the war; The Presi-
don't incosed all these communications TO Gen.
Haeck, with something ike the following indorse-
men,: 1t appears from the within that tho order
continuing Gen. Buell. in command was ill-judged.'

A PROPOSITION ron THE DESTRUCTION VI ihb
PIRATE ALABAMA.
A large number Of propositions have been made to
the Navy Department for the destruction OF tho
pirate Alabama, provided suitable reward should
be offered to warrant the undertaking. As a gen.
eral answer TO all such applications, it may be
safely stated there is no doubt that the Depart

party capturing her, and pay half million dollars
for her and in the event of her destruction $500
the latter payment however to be subject to an
appropriation by Congress.
