Gen. Rosccrans, either By his own yoI-
tiou, or By threat Of removal, has resigned
the command Of the Army Of the Cumber-
land a soldier Of acknowledged ability,
courage and devotion has been named for
the place that he lately filed. The public,
shocked and astonished by the sudden
downfall of one Of it's idols. Indignantly
inquiries why this has been done; hut we,
rs ignorant as men can be Of the causes
that have produced this result, cannot an
swer the, questions nor parry the COM
Tplaints that come to us from all quartera
We can only say that we have confidence
in what the President does, and thai, within
afew days at the utmost, We expect to be
able to state the exact and ne hope sutfl-
cient reasons for the action that has been
had In the meantime, We know that the
army is in good hands; that all that old
Rosey could or would have done will be
done, and that until new advance is nee
cssary, his absence from the chief command
will not be felt. With that ne are at pres
ent content.
Til needless to say that we have had
and those who know our steadfastness Ia
men and principles, need not be told that
we still have, tender side for Gen Rose
Grams. His earnestness, his thorough 10y
atty, and his profound conviction Of the
necessity, in putting down the rebellion, OF
striking at its root, have, as much as bis
skill in the field, and his undeniable cour-
age in the face Of the foe, given him a claim
to our regard that we arc free to acuowl-
edge; and to-day, though we are fully con-
scious that there must be great and weigh
ty 1casons why he should be disposessed,
We give him up with regret, and shall fol
low him into his retirement, whether it be
forced or voluntary, with our warmest
wishes for his speedy restoration to place
in which the shining qualities that he has
displayed may be once more devoted to

VALUABLE AID FROM THE CONTRA
BANDs.--The Sunfower river expedition
was greatly helped, and perhaps saved
from destruction by the intelligent services
of the negro slaves in that region, who in
every instance did everything they could
TO promote its success. Admiral Porter's
guide was a contraband. He also carried
dispatches through the rebel lines to Gen.
Sherman, which enabled that officer to
avert the capture of the fleet by the enc
my-a disaster that was at one time i'm
minent. When the expedition first arrived
in their midst, a scouting party came sud
denly upon house which belonged to the
sheriff of the county, He ordered his old
servant TO get his horse, as the Yankees
were coming. Couldn't tnk of it
wouldn't do it for tousand dollars. Pse
q Union man now, massa." The horse
was not got, but the sheriff was. The first
knowledge that the enemy had come down
Deer Creek in a steamer, was from con-
traband. 1t was confirmed by four others
who We're compelled to assist in pushing
the hat-boats, and deserted in the night.
In the business Of telling trees 10 obstruot
the gunboats, the negroes wese employed.
A curious cunning taught them to fall
many Of the trees in the wrong direction.
The chopping was done with great care
and Judgment, and saved our troops vast
deal Of labor.

"A letter from Falmouth says the
reports of deserters concerning the condi-
ton of the rebel army are extremely dis
couraging to their cause, The rebel "a
tions are scanty and served with great If
regularity. Discipline is most ngldly
enforced, and punishments bordering upon
cruelty are melted out for the slightest Of
fences. Flogging with hickory withe
upon the bare back is among their lighter
modes of punishment. But for the Rap
pahannock we are told that there would
be hundreds of assertions daily-men have
grown utterly sick of the struggle, and
are looking for week to week for the means
of escape from despotism and starvation.
As it is, the line of rebel pickets along the
river seems to preclude all possibility of
desertion. Yet notwithstanding the vigi-
lance exercised by the enemy, our pickets
are seldom relieved without finding in their
custody half dozen ragged, furnishing
rebels.

Fernando Wood has boosted frequent
ly of his patriotic interest in the New
York Mozart regiment, and the liberal
sums he had paid for It's outfit. 1t turns
out that he received from the national war
committee all and more than he paid, and
now the regiment has passed resolutions
denoancing Woods reasonable politics,
and saving that, Gas loyal citizens and
soldiers of the United States, they desire
to escape the ignominy of suspicion of
even the faintest sympathy with the man
who declares that loyalty to republic is
a meaningless and indefinite term," and
"we have no sympathy with his princi-
pies, no respect for his character, and hope
the day Is not far distant when such trait
ors will be Stunned as lepers and out
casts" The more sagacious of the Dem
ocratio papers are now making haste to
repudiate Wood and the copperheads gen
orally. The Boston Post protests against
considering the opinions of Wood as the
opinions of the democracy, and calls on
loyal democrats to repudiate them. 1t is
about time to draw the lines straighter.-
But what will they do with Seymour, Eat
on, and the whole gang of Connecticut
copperheads.

CELESTIAL PHENoMENoN.-The Bes-
ton Journal of the 10th, has the following:
The upturned gaze of thousands was di-
rected last evening upon an unusual sight
in the heavens. A magnificent arch,
spanning the sky between the eastern and
western horizons, was visible for the space
of an hour after s IL o'clock. The arch
appeared to the view about six feet in
width, and of the consistency of the dens-
est portion of the late comets tail. The
sky otherwise, with the exception of a
faint Aurora in the north, was perfectly
cloudless and clear, and the phenomenon
made brilliant appearance. Many sur
misses were uttered, some regarding it as
an omen of peace, while others maintained
that it was signal that the East and
West were now firmly united, and copper
headism defunct.
