4s to The question OF removal, the president
is cautious about assuming the entire responsi-
billt5 Of surersed;ng Mcclellan, upon his own
shoulders, and 1o longer ago than thi. morn
ing expressed the wish that Gen. Hallcck-
WHO, with true military subordination, has
not, since the PRESIDENTS Visit to the uppcr
Potomac, opened his lips to him on the sub-
ject, considering himself virtually depos=d -

The Lesson read to the president By the No

not satisfied with the m 1uncr in whici, il car
