.Ths rumor 10 general that Secretary
Stau.on has resigned, in consequences Of
differences Of opinions between NJ"
aud the President toachiog the move
ment Of troops."
We end the above among the special
desoatches from Warrington to the
Tribune. We should not be surprised
should the report prove to be true. The
Secretary Of War has certainly COM
mitted grave errors since he took charge
Of the Department, and We have res
.on to believe that the President 10 lar
from satisfied With the Secretary's treat-
meot Of General Mcclellan. 1t 10 even
said that alter the General Command
ing went to Yorktown, the President
felt it 10 be bis duty perempto'iIy to in.
terfere for his protection, and sent troops
to him that Mr.. Stanton bad withheld,
and we believe that such is the fact.
There are other unpleasant rumors
afoat, alluded to partially in our re-
marks on Tuesday. Various reasons
are assigned for the behavior OF the
Secretary Of War to Gen. McC'elI.n'
the most common Of which is that the
Secretary has seen visions Of . White
House that will want TO be occupied IN
1868. and that desire to be that o.
cupaot has taken cngrossing possession
Of bis mind. The judgment being thus
warped, jealousy OF Mcclellan has iol-
lowed. and is bearing come very uo'
pleasant fruits. Such is the common
rumor. Of this truth We are not con
pe,ent to Judge, and therefore offer no
opinion. Bot that from his first en-
trance upon Office down 10 the present
time Mr.. Secretary Stanton has given
Gen. Nc ClelIan cordial support, to say
the least, is very generally understood.
The evidences Of this spirit are abund'
ant. The letter addressed to the 1rs'
5wne by the Secretary, in response to
that journals excessive laudation OF hitn
at Gen. McClellan's expense, was pit
.ful exhibition of this temper. 1t was
followed soon by q covert sneer st the
General Commanding dragged into a
letter Of thanks 10 Gen. Lander, and has
been shown in other ways since. 1t is
said that at least one military general,
whose obligations to General Mcclellan
should have taught him another line o.
conduct, is more or less covertly 10 sym
petty with these attempts to embarrast
Gen. Mcclellan.
Reports from w Warrington, ola tenor
that Indicated some ouch event as the
Tribune affi,ms has come to pass, show
that President Lincoln is not likely te
allow Mr.. Stanton or any one else to maj
holy cause or embarrass q patriotic
general by the Indulgence Of persona
prejudices or aspirations. 1t is reported
that the course pursued by the Secreta-
~ of War to the Commander of the
Army of the Potomac had become the
subject Of grave Cabinet discussions
and that the President had put bis foot
down''-which is way he bas-g'eat!'
to Mr.. Stanton's surprise and disgust. L
is not improbable that these reports
have some foundation in truth. 1t is
very certain that the President has nc
jeaiousies of Nc CIellan, and that be has
much confidence in him, and we are vel
assured that he will, if necessary, very
summarily dismiss from his Cabinet at!
man who tries TO thwart, from whateve
motive, that enduring Generals effort
TO give the final blow to the rebellion
Mr.. Stanton must change either his pol
icy or his place.
! PER CONTRA.
