Removal of Gen, Rosecrans.

Tho telegraph announces tho removal of
Gen. Rosccrans from the command of the
Army of the Cumberland. No reason is
assigned therefor but military etiquette, vet
we cannot believe that tho Administration
would take such ao important step without
better and moro satisfactory reason than
that. We await further developments in
regard to the matter with anxiety. Gen.
Rosecrsns has won place in the hearts OF
the people, of which n nero removal from
command, without The most urgent and im.
perative reason, will not deprive him.
Dispatch from Louisville of the 2Otl

General Hooker, who is at Stevenson with
his troops, claims that his command is an
independent one. General Rosecr,ns
claimed that it was a part OF his army. Con.
eral Grant, who ranks both Hooker and
Rosecrans, goes to Chattanooga to overlook
matters, and to keep both Generals in their
commands. Out of this has grown tho re-.
port OF Rosecoans' removal, to be succeeded
by Genoral Grant. Hooker out.ranks Rose
Grams, and would have command upon en-
tering tho Department. He waived this
right, but did not expect to havo bis COrps

tire loss in killed, wounded and missing,
amounts to IS, $40 rebel loas estlm ated d

many, and lest any might be dubious, and
enquire why the rebels should lose SO
many. / will! truly say; that they were on the
offensive, while we were on the defensive,

attacked our LEFT, right and center, each

GOV. KlRKwooD CoNFEssEs TO
ARMING THE UNION LEAGUE
1t has been very hard to impress up
on certain class of the community, .
true conception of the, design of the
party in power. Plainly and unoquiv-
ocally, readers Of the Herald, it's mem
bers are determined either upon your
suhjugatinn) or q revolution. What
else do you think their midnight meet
ings betoken :? For what other pur-
pose are they being providedwith arms?
Aye. there's the rub, are they, you
ask, being provided with arms? We
have been assured from every quarter
that such is the fact, but now from the
lips Of the Governor We have tho ad-
mission. Last week some citizens Of
Iowa City hearing such charges, called
upon tie Governor to learn tina truth.
He frankly confessed to the following,
which is published in the Iowa City
Press, whose editor was one Of tho de-
puration, and is admitted as true in all
its material parts by the Iowa City
Republican the organ of tho Cover
nor !: -..- -.
'!He said that he had encouraged the
formation of the "Secret Union" leagues;
that he had armed his friends in the
southern tier of counties that he had
written to the Secretary of War asking
that he be allowed to organise three
regiments Of 'Home Guards to be paid
by the United States, or that as many
old regiments should be sent from tho
field for service IN Iowa that he had
made requisition for Eve thousand
stand Of arms that when he deemed it
necessary, he should arm his friends in
every county in the State, and that he
should advise the suspension of the
writ Of habcas corpus. He exhibited
his own correspondence with the See.
retary and also portion of that on
which he justified the arming Of his
friends. The latter, in. substance,
amounted to this one letter from q
republican Of Cedar county. stating
that there were :Copperheads' in that
county that wanted looking after. No
Individual was named as having COM
mitted any offonce whatever. The
writer only dealt in wholesale denunci-
alton, not specifying any act or crime
Another letter shown by the Governor
wos from man whom he had appoint
ed Captain Of one hundred Home
Guards, and informing his Excellency
that he had arrested man in Decatur
county who had been subsequently
brought before court on q writ of
habeas corpus and discharged. He
moreover stated that he had re-arrested
the same person, and intended to defy
the court. The Governor advised sub.
mission to the civil authorities in this
case, saying If it became necessary he
would exercise the pardoning power.
The Governor was very much excited
during the interview, and in answer to
an inquiry from one Of the gentlemen
intimated that it might become neees-
