This business may be- disposed of in a
few words. Whether MCCLELLAN was de-
servedly or undeservedly supplanted, is a
question that cannot now be satisfactorily
answered. In matters of this kind the two
parties do not stand on an equal footing.
The Government has the advantage of the
General. The Government can give pub.
licity to such facts as suits its conscience
and convenience, while the lips of the
General are, and for the time must remain,
sealed. If the Government has acted un-
justly, the testimony which would convict
it of such injustice, will be kept from the
public under the bolts and bars of military
discipline. But, even in such case, if the
General at the last can show justification
for his course, the injustice Of the Govern
ment can work him only temporary dis
advantage. So, in this case, even the
warmest friends and admirers of Gen.
MCCLELLAN, need not have regrets at his
displacement, on any grounds touching his
personal fame. They, having faith in his
capacity, fitness, and patriotism, will be
content in the faith, also, Of the ultimate
triumph of justice in his behalf
His enemies are glad, but let them enjoy
their triumph in decency His friends are
chagrined, but let them initiate their Gen
eral, and bear the infction with patience
For, whether wrong has been done to
MCCLELLAN or not, the cause in which he
was fighting is still an open cause, and in
peril 1t must be fought out On the field,
and with such means and by such agencies
as the Government sees fit to use The
removal of MCCLELLAN is q fact accom-
plished; when the suppression of the re-
bellion is fact accomplished, also, we can
then inquire into the merits and dement's
OF his displacement. And, as the people
shall then find the truth to be, they will
make him President, or brand him Pre-
tender.
But, for the present, let us crush out
the rebellion

Baker Bound to Run Through the
Whole Gamut.

BAKER is bound to see what there is in
life. he has been preacher, country
editor, politician, 1000 agent in Wall
Street for the State of Ohio, Secretary of
State here, and now a Colonel of Volun-
teers. In all his varied pursuits, whenever
he got glimpse Of gold, he has remem-
bered his original occupation, and unvary-
ingly CALCULATED, with pious fervor, "Let
us prey!" And, according to the best ac-
counts, he has preyed, diligently, without
oeasing, morning, noon, and night.
But, how is he going to steal, to any
profitable account, as Colonel of Volun-
teers2 We don't see, but well bet BAKER
does!

Lieut.. S. P. JENN1soN, late of the Sec

in place of Mr.. BAKER, resigned.
There is rumor, whether we'll founded
or not, we are unable to tell, that JOE.

he is an unnaturalized Nova Scotian-a

Vengeance of Southern UniOnists.

\ great destruction of property by the
troops under Gen. GRANTS command along
the line of march from Bolivar into Mis-
sissippi has been alluded to by our tele-
graphic dispatches. 1t appears by letter
from Bolivar that these depredations were
committed by two regiments of cavalry,
recruited among the Union men in the re-
gion around Corinth When the army
commenced its march, the writer says:
These new regiments were among their
number, and none more eager for the ad-
vance. As the army moved on, they
knew the sentiments of every settler
whether he was, at heart, rebel or true
They spared the homes and property of
right-minded men, but they dealt signal
vengeance upon the plantations of all
rebels. They razed the houses, burned
the cotton-felds, and set the iron heel
of power upon the neck of traitors.
1t is presumed that no route over
which our army has thus far marched, pre-
sents such scenes of desolation as from
this place to La Grange. When they
were fully organized and well drilled, they
said to our men "You Northern fellows
are too good humored-you neither know
the country nor the men you have to deal
with. The hate of these secesh devils is
hotter and redder than HI We know
them, and know where their property is
We will show you how to treat them.
You must make them fear you before they
can respect YOU"
When the movement commenced,
squads of these men struggled from the
ranks, and commenced destroying. They
set the torch to houses, outbuildings, fences
and cotton fields ripe for the pickers 1t
cannot be expected that our men, goaded
by theloss of comrades, by wounds and
privations endured, abstain wholly from
participating in these acts. The officers
did not connive at their work, but in the
excitement of the moment were unable to
restrain the men.
Such acts of unauthorized depreciation
by the soldiers in an army cannot be ap-
proved upon any rule of war or good pol
icy, but they serve to illustrate the deep
and terrible feeling of vengeance which
exists in the hearts of Union men in the
south. Northern loyalists cannot appre-
ciate this feeling until they have witnessed
the oppression and outrage which these
southern Unionists have suffered at the
hands of lawless rebels among whom they
have been compelled to live.

The Dimculty with the Radicals.

When Gen. MCCLELLAN, with the Army
of the Potomac numbering $4,000 men,
was encamped before Richmond, the radi-
Gals would have the country believe that
his forces outnumbered those Of the enemy.
When Gen. PoPR with one hundred and
twenty thousand men was defeated by LEE,
the radicals declared that the rebels had
hard on to two hundred thousand men.
When Gen. MCCLELLAN, gathering up
the shattered legions of the north, hurled
them victoriously upon the enemy at An
tietam, the radical clamor designated CO.,
600 as the utmost numbers Of the foe. And
30 the Confederate army increases or di-
minishes in the opinion of the radicals, ac-
cording to the general who is opposed to
them.

1t has been understood, for the last few
days, that Headquarters for the Depart
ment of the Northwest, was about to be
transferred to Madison, Wisconsin. This
was gratifying intelligence to our people,
who felt that, if the interests of our State
were to be sacrificed by the bungling man.
agement of General PORE, it would be
some consolation to know that he was HIM
self outside of its limits, and that he would
not, therefore, be offending our eyes with
his follies and extravagances. Just as we
were about to congratulate the public on
this desirable change, we learned that the
order of transfer had been revoked, and
that POPE was inflicted upon us for the
winter.
From the advent of RAMSEY to that of
PORE, Minnesota has been used by the
General Government as Botany Bay for
the banishment of official vagabonds.
When we heard that PORE was to leave,
we thought the rule might, at last, be re-
laxed in our favor; but his retention among
us dispels that idea, and we must class our
long suffering State as Botany Bay still

The Inquirer says that the responsibility
of the proper conduct of the war for the
Union will rest, in the next House upon
the Opposition; and it therefore behooves
them to consider and digest policy, for
at the present time it is well known they
are without chart, rudder, or compass,
on a subject which involves the very life Of
the Republic.

We clip the following about our In
dian affairs, from the Washington cores
pondence of the Herald:
Referring to the attempt in Minnesota to hang
or exile hundreds of Sioux Indians, men Of
great experience in Indian affairs refer to the
fact that in previous Indian atrocities no chief
has been hung or shot but, on the contrary,
Black Hawk was shown about the country for
purposes of pacifcation. Horrible as are the
Outrages of the Sioux, they have many criminal
acts of the whites, officials and Others, to plead
in partial extenuation ftheir conduct. However
people at the scene of the Indian hostilities may
be disposed to indulge in acts of bloody revenge,
the officials here cannot now feel or act much
different from established policy.

The Telegraph as a Military Agent.

We notice that many of the Eastern pa
pers express surprise that Gen. Pope
should have used the telegraph to commu-
nicate to the Government the names of
some three hundred convicted Sioux, at a
cost of over four hundred dollars They
seem to think that the mail might have
been employed to an equally good purpose,
and to the saving of that amount of ex-
pense.
Not so thought Gen. POPE A General
aint General, in Gen. PoPE's eye, unless
he goes through all the motions of Gen.
eral. And, as the telegraph is made to
play an important part in military opera
tons, why shouldn't he use it, as we'll as
GRANT, or RosEoEANz, or BURNSIDE, and
let them know at Washington that Gen.
PORE is as big General, in telegraphic
way, as the best of them!
We notice further, however, that on the
receipt of this stunning Observation-Disclosures
telegram, the President telegraphed for
the evidence on which these Sioux had
been convicted; and, for fear that Pore
might be fool enough to telegraph that,
also, at cost of thousand or two more,
he directed it to be forwarded by mail.
Wonder if PORE took the hint involved
in that order!
