Removal OF Mcclellan.

The Butternuts arc bowling over
tho removal OF Mcclellan. We
should suppose a General who was
was capable Of wasting lives and
money as last as their " second Ma
poleon' has done, would suit the m
exactly. No doubt he was con uct
ing the war to suit them. Six
months more Of lis Generalehip
would have bankrupted the Govern
ment and forced US TO accept such
terms as the rebels might delgn to
offer. His removal is barely in time
to save the country IRON utter ruin,
the very thing the Bu,ternuts bnve
been l.boring to bring about. 1t is
we'll that he goes into winter quar-
ters unaccompanicd by his troops.

Marrow Esc,rs PROM uIINa BuRrID ALivx.
The following statement is made OF the mar
escape of a wounded sol lier fro m being
buried alive:
After the battle Of Newbern, North Caro-.
lima, George W. Green, a volunteer from
Cooperstown, Ostego county, New York,
was sent out to bury the dead. Among the
bodies picked up by Green, and his helpers
was that OF one Rufus Peiy, from the snme
c. unity. The body was placed on the
stretcher and carried to the grave, Green,
who had been familiar with Petty, thought
he would search his pockets to see whether
there was anything that be sent home to his
frIents. In so doing he ran his hand up
under his vest. and discovered that his heat
was faulty beating.
He announced the fact 10 his comrale,
who said it couldn't possibly be, as the Sur
geon had made n thoIouhh h investi CATION oi
all on the field, and pronounced Petty among
the others. dead. He was then told to pl ace
the hand over the heart, when he too, be-
came satisfied that there was life. Petty
was subsequently, carried TO the hospital,
and recovered. He returned home, as did
Green. and beth men were in Albany a few
days ago.
