The Commercial Adrsrtiser most upJustIy ac'
cuses The TRIBUNE Of "a yearnlug Tor
slaughter" because we deprecate the escape
Of the Rebel army OH the Potomac from Gen.
Mcclellan without the loss of company or o
Gun. We would have no Que killed unless tor
the achievement of some great aud behehcent
end such as we hold the putting down OF the
Shareholders Rebellion to be. But If the escape
Of the Rebels from Gen. Mcclellan shall enable
them to surprise and overwhen Gen. BarD-
sides little army, We shall moro lament the
death Of thousand Of these brave Unionist'
than that of ten times a. many Rebels. We
would DO anything in reason to avoid war;
but, having been driven TO take up arms, we
suppose they are to be used to rid the Nation
Of its deadly aud tratorous enemies. If that
is " adherence Of humanity" We must abide
the imputation.

At special meeting of the Chamber oil
Commerce yesterday, for the purpose OF con-
siderng the harbor defenses Of New-fork, Mr..
Ericsson WINS present, and gave most inter-
epting account Of the construction and capa'
bilitles of that wonderful vessel Resolutions
were passed very strongly condemnatory Of the
Navy Department for IFS neglect Of Hampton
Roads and Mayor Opdyke aud Messrs. A. a.

force of some 90, 900 was gathering In Nortn
Coro,ina near Newbern, which could DO thrown
into Burnside's rear in the event OF bis NOV
ing upon Norfolk.
These suggestions give very unsatisfactory
ospect to our affairs in that quarter. Burn
sides force is small, and totally unable TO cope
with auy large body of tho Rebels upon their
own ground. 1t would not seem ut oil I'M
possible that force should be accumulated IN
mis- rear which might prevent his retreat, II
he shall be found to have moved 90 lar ipland
ne to be beyond the protection of his gunboats'
If in addition to this, the Rebels should have
the yiror to move down any large portion OF
their force from Richmond upon him, he might
be placed in condition of serious DANGER
We have not the highest opinion of the Rebel
tactics. and do not absolutely imagine that they
are actively intent upon this line OF policy; OUT
we should feel very seriously alarmed at any
indication of their adoption of it. A portion
Of their force upon the line OF the RaPpahan-
mock would arrest for some time the advance
Of our main army, which in q territory so
wooded aud hilly must of necessity be slow
AT TINT river some considerable resistance
might DO made, quite enough to prevent our
crossing for some days, and to retard our on
ward movement from that point to Richmond.
In tie mean time the Rebels, having COM
mand of the amplest railroad facilities, might
transport half their army to Norfolk, or nearer
still, to Suffolk. which is within about eighty
mile. of Richmond, and by q short march from
that point dash them upon Burnsido's division
The RESULT could hardly be doubtful. He must
Weld to overpowering numbers; and, if cut Of
from his ships by a simultaneous movement In
hs rear, the surrender of his whole force
would be inevitable.
Obviously. nothing but the most prompt and
decisive movements of our main army can Sc
cure Burnside against the assault of over.
whelming numbers, since-whether originally
designed or not-the practicability Of q sue
ces.iul stroke in that direction must suggest
t.elf TO the Rebel commanders. His salvation
lies in the fact that the advance Of our troops
shall be rapid enough to keep the Rebels fully
occupied. and prevent their detachng any por-
ton of their force to crush him.

The publication Of the recent Military oraerS
If the President of the United States. directing
q vigorous advance on the Rebels at all points,
reoreanizing the several Military Departments
and placing JOHN c. FREMONT at the head OF
one of them, relieving Gen. Mcclellan from
the co,rmand.in.chief Of the armies Of the
United States and resuming it himself, direct
ing all the independent Generals to report
directly to the War Department. and dividing
Tie Army Of the Potomac into FIVE distinct
army corps, under the command respectively of
Gems. Mcdowell, Sumner, HeiDtzelman, Reyes,
and Banks, Gen. Mcclellan retaining the
communicable Of this army alone, placing
Gen. Buell. under the orders of Gen. Ealleck,
ard assigning to Gen. Fremont the new
Mountain Department, composed Of Western
Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, and East Ten
nessee, electrified tbs country yesterday.
Those who have not already read these
orders will find them in THE TRIBUNE. They
are our only and sufliccnt answer to the civil
and courteous gentlemen who for weeks have
accused our Washington correspondent OF
Intentional falsehood in stating that the more
important Of these changes would be made.
We print on another page several letters
from Washington correspondents affirming and
explaining the necessity for the Presidents ac-
ton in the premises. Some Of these letter.
have been de erred for day., in order that they
might not seem 10 urge the change which they
are now printed to sustain and justify. We be-
leve every candid reader will find them coz
elusive.
The responsibilities suddenly devolved on
/ Gen. Mcclellan were too vast and his duties
too multifarious for ony untried man. The,
would have oyeraxed the intellect ard power
of endurance Of Napoleon. Had he beer
originally called TO the command of the Amy
of the Potomac simply, we believe no would
have avoided some grave errors which hii
multiiarious aud complex duties have oceo
svned. Now that he ia relieved from an enor
nous nd excessive burden, We trust thet In
future triumphs in the field may eGace al
memory of his past short -comipgs; ard that 1

We observe that in some quarters Gen. Ere
mont ia blamed for including among the docu.
ments of his published defense, letter from
Postmaster General Blair, in which, among other
things, Dir. Blair declares that the military
operations of the Western Department cannot
expect aid from the Administration, because,
as he says, Secretary Chase cares more for
keeping Treasury notes at par than for the
lives Of soldiers, and never voted Democratic
ticket in lis life, while President Lincoln " i,
of the Wing school, and that brings hun
" naturally not only to incline to the feeble
policy of the Wings, but to give bis conf
a. dence to such advisers" Such letter as
this, according to the critics we refer TO, ought
never to have been published.
In the fret place, let US remember that this
letter was q part OF the evidence which Cen
Fremont had laid before the Joint Committee
of the two Houses upon the Conduct of the
War. In publishing this evidence, che could
not properly enrble it in any respect he must
print the whole. exactly as he had laid it be-
fore the Committee.
With regard TO the propriety OF his laying
that letter before the L" Committee, we think
there can be no question. 1t was most I'M
portant document as showing that at the time
when IL was written the Member Of the Cab
incl with whom Gen. Fremont was known to
sustain the most intimate relations official and
unofficial, represented to him that, in prescott
ing the war in his Department, lie could no.
hope to receive aid from Washington for GER
tain peculiar reasons. Such communication
must have n great weight on tho mind of any
commander. and would 90 far to justify any
extreme measures which he might take in full
filling his duty to his country. In tlis view,
Gen. Fremont could not with prOprety leave
80 important document out Of his defense.
If the letter is injurious to any one. that is
not the fault of Gen. Fremont Nor can it
Justly be said that in defending himself he has
anywhere gone out OF his way to attack HIS
bi,erest personal enemies. even where he
might have done 80 with the most crushing
effect IA this respect Lis calmness and mag
nauimity are equally remarkable.

Where are the Rebels who hive evacuated

said to have sent portion Of their forces
