EVENING PAPERS.

Gen. Hooker Relieved Of His Command-Eis
Farewell Address,
WASHINGTON, June 20.
Gen. Hooker has been relieved OF the COM
mand Of the Army OF the Potomac at his own
request, and Gen. Meade has been appointed
to the command of the army in his stead.
The rebel army are within three miles of
Harrisburg, and an attack will soon commence.
GEN. HookER's ADDRESS.
In conformity with orders from the War
Department, June 9th, relinquish command
sof the Army OF the Potomac. 1t is transferred
to Gen. q. Meade, brave and accomplished
officer, who has nobly earned the confidence
and esteem Of the army on many hard fought
fields.
Impressed with the belief that my influence
as commander Of the Army of the Potomac is
impaired, part from 1t, yet not without the
deepest emotions OF sorrow at parting with
comrades Of so many battles. am relieved
by the conviction that the courage and devo-
ton of the army will never cease or fail-that
it will yield my successor, as it has TO me, u
hearty and willing support. With earnest
prayers that the triumph OF its arms may bring
success worthy Of it and the nation, bid it
farewell.
This was followed by an address from Mai.
Gen. Meade, dated Headquarters Army or the
Potomac, June 18th, 1868.
M GEN. MEADE's ADDRESS.
. By direction of the President of the United
States, hereby assume command of the Ar
my of the Potomac as soldier. In obeying
this order, an order totally unexpected and
unsolicited, have no promises or pledges to
make. The country looks TO this army to re-
lieve it from the devastation and disgrace of
hostile invasion. Whatever fatignes aud sac
ri6ces we may be called upon to undergo, let
us have in view constantly the magnitude of
interests involved, and let each man SO deter
mine to do his duty, leaving to an all con-
trolling Providence the decision of the con-
test. 1t is with great difiidence that relieve
in command OF this army an eminent and ac-
complished soldier, whose name must ever APP
pear conspicuous in the history of its achieve
ments, but rely upon the hearty support of
my companions in arms to assist me in the
discharge of the duties of the important trust
which has been confided to me.
GEORGE G. MEADE,
Major General Commanding,
The report of the change soon extended TO
the several corps, and the officers babe fare
well to Gen. Hooker. He leaves for Balti-
more where he has been ordered to report
The appointment of Gen. Meade gives uni
versal satisfaction, and all express their de-
termination to extend the heartiest co-opera-
ton.
The Herald's Headquarters Army OF the
Potomac dispatch dated 2sth, says the affairs
on the upper Potomac are quiet.
The rebels have small force south OF Hag-
erstown, and our forces remain in possession
of South Mountain. Rebel cavalry are re-
ported to- have crossed the Potomac below
Edwards Ferry, and captured train of $50
wagons.
Pleasanton has been appointed Maj. Gen.
