The position of Geo. Burnside now be-
fore the country is anything but enyiable.
He has Teen placed at the head of great
army just as autumn With all its golden
days and golden opportunities is merging
into winter. His army is 10 motion, but
how far can it move now before the block
sde of mud closes down on it2 But few
more days at furthest will make The roads
impossible for trains and artillery. We do
not expect that under the new arrangement
the blockade of mud will be quite SO fOrmi-
dable thing as it has been before in Yir-
Riniz campaigns, still We know it will soon
be great clog upOn army movements
Meanwhile the enemy has eluded our grasp
and is on his way back. We are told, to
prepare for winter quarters at Richmond,
while our fOiIed and disappointed army
will soon be left aoundering aimlessly in a
Virginia wilderness Of mud.
Yet the country will expect Burnside TO
achieve some grand immediate result which
shall be commensurate with the country's
needs. 1t does not seem possible. The
weeks have been wasted by his pEedeees-
sor, who has at the last moment given over
into his hands an army powerful enough to
have walked right over the rebel IegiOnsr
but bound by delays and fettsred by win
ter. We do not see that there is much
for the army to do jus: now but to go on
as far as it can and then sit down aud wait
for the frost to make solid roads.

Tho News OF Gen. IoCIellan's Re-
movhI In Warrington.
WASHINGTON, Sunday, Nov. o.


The removal of Gen. Mcclellan, aud the
significant fact of his being ordered to re-
port to his family at Trenton, have produc-
ed come excitement here to-day. At the
hotels, crowds have been discussing the
subject, and occasionally the feelings OF
some have found expression in language
disrespectful to the President and disloyal
to the government. The truly loyal and
more sensible of Gen. McCIellan's friends,
however, whilst they regret his removal,
acquiesce in the action of the President, as
the friends and admirers of other Generals
have done on like occasions. 1t is certain
that Mr.. Lincoln never performed duty
which gave him so much pain as did
the removal of Gen. Mcclellan Just al
this time; but facts recently presented
in an official shape by the .General-in-
Chief made It clear to the President thai
he had but one course to pursue, and when
these facts are given to the public, as they
will be soon, all true supporters of the
Government will nos hesitate to concede
the wisdom Ofthe act whilst those who are
blinded by prejudice, and those animated
by spirit of disloyslty, will, OF course
seize this occasion as an opportunity fol
renewing their expressions of hostility tC
the Administration,
A few gentlemen, wearing shoulder straps
have been rendering themselves, to-day
fit subjects for the Old Capitol Prison, 6y
talking loudly against tile act Of relieving
Mcclellan of his command. A Lieutenant
Colonel said publicly, tonight, that if By
fighting another hour he could put dowr
the rebellion, he would not do SO.
1t is understood that Judge Holt ha!
written long letter to n gentleman Of your
city, strongly condemnaiory of Gen. Nc.
Clellau's course, which it is said will b,
made public.

These heavy taxes aud the usual advance

General Ambrose e. Burnside.

This gentleman, who now fills the i'm
portant place just vacated by Gen. McClel-
Ian. is native of Union county, Indiana ;
was born in 1924, aud is now in his 39tli
year, In ls43 he entered West Point Mil
itary Academy, and graduated in 1917,
with the rank of Second Lieutenant in the
I'd Artillery. he Immediately Joined that
regiment in Mexico, but not until near the
termination of that war. he was subse-
qusntly.promoted to the rank of First Lieu
tenant; but in 1852 he retired to the walks
of private life, and held an important posi-
tiou on the Illinois Central Railroad.
Subsequently he removed to Providence,
r. l., where. upon the breaking out of the
present war, he raised the first Rhode Is
land regiment, which rendered such ell
cient service during the three months
campaign, and fought with honor at Bull
Run.
General Burnside is one of the finest
looking men in the service, of good stat.
ure-Rbout feet ll-erect and vigorous
in his movements. His address Is easy aud
gentlemauiy, as much so to the common
soldier as 10 bis equals in rank. He is
thoroughly loyal, and imbued with a strong
sense of the enormity of the crime of trea-
son and rebellion, and is in no way embar-
raised with scruples about crippling the
enemy in any way in which he can be
reached. His policy will not be milk-and-
water one, aud we may now safely hope
that more than mere defensive warfare
will be waged. His vigorous course in
North Carolina, and his uniform success
in the important expedition he led in that
State, in the face of appalling difficulties,
are guarantees that he will not disappoint
the hopes of the country in the high and
responsible position he now occupies.

A word to Irishmen.
Eaitors Lnteliiqeneer:


Soon after the late elections, met an
Irishman who was exultiug with great Joy
over the success of the pro.slavery party in
Ohio and Pennsylvania, and raging against
the "nigger," rs be called the unfortunate
slave. could not refrain from telling him
that pro-slayery Irishman looked to me
like portentous prodigy. That the Irish
bad moved the sympathies of the universal
world against a system of oppression
which, compared to Southern Oppression,
was as feather to a milestone and the
only merit of the Southern tyrants seemed
to be that they were our deadly national en-
emies, shooting MIME balls at our sons and
brothers, and doing their very utmost to
accomplish our national ruin.
This man ia the son of United Irish
man. Ny father was of the same nation,
the same sect and the same Political creed.
Time was WhSn the fathers and the sons
were of the same party, and every aristo-
crat, every grim old conservative, every
tory, every lordliug from the south end of
England TO the north end of Scotland, was
banded against as; and now every afisto-
erat, every conservative, every tory, every
lordling in the British Islands is against
me aud against the party with which act,
and in jealous cooperation with my pro-
slavery Irish friend. Brother .Irishman;

OIhhALIARt SATURDAY, Oct. 49, 81.
A horrible murder occurred on the even.
ing of the 18th, on board the rebel steamer
Sumter, which vessel has been ut anchor
here LOT over twelve months. The crew of
the Sumter were paid of many months
ago, and she has since been in charge of
two officers and q sufficient Humber of
hands TO keep her clean. On the evening
of the 18th, between Z aud o'clock, Hes
tor, the second officer. deliberately shot the
fellow Andrews, who was in command,
while the latter was lying in his berth
asleep Andrews expired almost instant
~. The criminal afteFWRrd summoned the
crew, and told them 10 go on board the
English guard-ship and call for medical
assistance. On the arrival OF the boats
crew from that vessel, the second officer
declared that he shot the Captain, and if
the Doctor did not think that he was dead,
he would give him smother dose. Hestor
and the crew were aflerward taken on
board her Najesty's sloop.of-war Aalacca
add confined.
/ a eoroner's inquest of English autnori-
ties took place on the 10th and 18th. and
they have declared it ga Willful murder"
II appeared that HestOr kept woman, who
created Jealousy. The Captain had &C.
cused the prisoner, the day previous. of
them ashore and giving them away to this
woman. Hestor replied. during the eve
ming, with three shots through Andrews
body.
An English lieutenant and guard OF
marines are now kept on board the Sum-
ter, but she still flies the rebel rag. 1t is
said that the murderer will be hung.
Thus ends the drama of the rebel priva-
tcer.
