| The rebels are apparently just realizing
the fact that Gen. Mcclellan is making in-
tense preparation 10 open the second seige
OF Yorktown. Upto yesterday the work of
our troops have steadily progressed, directly
under the eyes of the enemy, without any
response from their guns, except an coca
| sional shot sent to inform Us they were
| still there. Our eRrthworks are now be-
ginning to present a very formidable ap-
pearance to the enemy, and all day yester-
day aud last night, they kept up a brisk
fire on them, with view of driving the
men out Occasionally shell would come
SO close as to make it unpleasant, when
they would lay close to the ground until it
had passed over. No one was injured, and
the work progressed as though no enemy
were within range. This morning to

about three hours, from their batteries near
the river, but receiving no response they

Yesterday Gen. Hancock went out with
portionIof his brigade for the purpose of
driving the enemy from a piece of timber,
which they occupied in close proximity to
our works.
Our troops advanced through an open
field on their hands and knees until they
came within close nusket range.
The rebels, who were secreted behind
stumps and trees, were anxious to get our
men on their feet. To eudeAVor and nc.
cOmplish this, the Captain in command of
the enemy shouted at the heighth of his
voice to charge bayouets, supposiug that
orr frightened troops would instantly Jump
to their feet and run, but they were mis-
taken in their men. The command being
given second time the rebels arose, when
our troops poured into them we'll direct.

California, brought with him piece of the

brought out for exhibition to friend, when
it accidentally dropped upon the floor and
split open. Near the center OF the mass was
discovered. firmly imbedded in the quartz

SIZE of a sixpenny nail. Ut was entirely
straight, and had perfect head. BY whom

jim LANE IN New CHARAcTER.-The
St. Louis correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin says:
Senator jim Lane, of Kansas, has susI
pended his military operations in Kansas,
and gone to Oregon with an immense drove
of cattle, on which he and his partners will
make, it is expected, about 100000 There
are persons who are uncharitable enough to
say that Jim got his cattle very cheaply and
that he took hem from citizens of Missouri,
using soldiers paid by the United States, to
empress" the cattle and act as herdsmen and
drovers The last heard of his niger brig
ade was that two companies of them came
over into Clay equity, Missouri, on jay
hawking expedition. While engaged in
their plunderng operations they were set
upon by force of our State Militia, defeat
ed and driven back into Kansas. Lane has
no doubt left plenty of his agents there who
are continuing to squander Government
money in his absence.

Action OF THE SAN FRANCISCO MER,
CHANTS RELATIVE TO Two
or three weeks ago, meeting Of leading
merchants of this city was held in the Mer
chants Exchange to interchange views as to
the legal tender notes, etc. An adjourned
meeting was he'd at the same place last
Saturday night, when it was decided to ad
opt circular agreement, not to receive or
pay out legal tender notes at any but the
market value-goId being adhered to as the
standard. The idea is that this agreement
will be signed by all the leading firms of this
city, and then all the other city firms and
those up country who have dealings with
them will sign it. Then it will be firmly
established rule. If any refuses, or after
agreeing to pay for goods in gold, pay in
greenbacks at par instead, then his name
will be entered in a black book, and the
firms all over the State who have entered in
to the agreement will be notified, so that
wherever he may thereafter DEAL he will
have to pay for his goods in yellow gold IN
aduance The merchants consider that some
such action as this is necessary to protect
them in continuing the credit system; and
there is no question but that there should be
general and thorough understanding on
this point-either to accept greeubacks as
basis of credit, or gold. They have chosen
the latter; and merchants ii they do not pay
in gold or other coin of equal value, must
pay in other legal tender sum equivalent
if cashed to the amount called for in the bill
or invoice. Interest or credits, according
to this reciprocal agreement, must be paid in
like manner. s. r, Bulletin.

REMOVAL OF GENERAL MCCLELLAN
Burnside in Command

SALEM. Va, November 8.-The order re-
lieving Gen. Mcclellan was received at head
quarters at Il o'clock last night, and was
entirely unexpected. The command was inn
medatey turned over to Gen. Burnside
Gen. Mcclellan and staff leave tomorrow
for Trenton, N. j., where he is ordered to
report. His last official act was the issuing
of an address to his soldiers, informing them
in a few words of the change. The army is
still in motion.
PHILADELPHIA, November 9.-McCleilans
removal has caused great excitement
Among the rumors as to the cause is one
that some instructions of the Generalin
chief (Haleck) were not followed, and Lee
escaped in consequence. Forney's Press
says that it (the removal of McClellan) was
purely military act, and the result of mill
tary consultation and discussion. Although
recommended by the President and APPROX
ed by him some time ago, it was only final
y r. solved upon after the change became
inevitable.
Before the Military Commission, appon
ted to enquire into the causes leading to the
surrender of Harper's Ferry, after reporting
strongly against Gen. Miles and Col. Ford,
and strongly censuring Gen. WOOL the tele
graph account says, concerning Mcclellan,
the evidence adduced in the report and the
opinion expressed by the Commission are
most direct and damaging. The General in
Chief testfes that Mcclellan after receiving
orders to drive the enemy from Maryland,
marched on an average only miles per day
in pursuit. and that in his opinion he both
could and should have relieved and protect
ed Harper's Ferry. In this opinion the
Commission fully concur.
