Since the battle of Antietam all the
commanders of corps, except Gen. Fitz
John Porter, inclusive Of Franklin, have
asked to be relieved from serving under
Mcclellan. So have mostof the officers
of note in command of divisions and
brigades Hooker and Hunter have also
expressed unwillingness to serve under
Mcclellan. The opinion of Judge Holt,
and others well qualified to judge is that
so far from leading to disorganizatiou of
the army, more removals would be the
proper remedy for dissatisfaction that
had sprung up under MeClellen admin

loaded with cotton worth $3.50, 600. and
had escaped the blockade of Texas.

the Blanche. =
She had run the blockade five times
