thinking men are rapidly coming to the
conclusion that their highest interests

TIE CASE OF HOOKER.

There need be no wonder TINT General
Hooker was removed; for whatever faith.
the country may have Ind in his bri1liancy
as leader in offensive operations, all CON
fideuce in his gencra1ahip ought to be de-
stroyed BY the fact that lie permitted Lee
to make circuit half around the Federal
army, apparently without the knowledge
'of, certainly without interruption By, the
Union forces. Nothing but incompetency
could have done this thing. Hooker goes
into the category with Mcclellan mid
Burnside Now for his SUCCESSOR.
