Considerable comment has been
made upon the fact that number OF
Generals of high rank are not in com.
mands, and the President has been Sc.
verely censured for not giving them
important positions.
General Sigel was rclicv ed, at his
own urgent request, and not until he
had repeated it over and over again.
General Fremont declined to serve
unless in such position as was at
the time he left the service not consid.
sidered polite to give him.
General Butler was relieved by
General Banks out-ranking him, while
temporarily at New-Orleans, it not
being the intention of the President
to have him leave the Department.
But Butler could not remain as a
subordinate. "Show me where to put
them to-day" remarked the President.
not long since, to a distinguished
Senator. Shall l supersede Rose
Grams I? or Grant +? or Banks {? or Hook
err? and send them into idleness, to
make room for those now idle !?
AS for Mcclellan, no one who knows
the President, supposes that he will
ever be called on again to fill any pc
si,ion, bat he will probably be mus.
terd out Of service before long, and
his commission as Major General in
the regular army be given to General
Grant, the fighting General of whom
the President remarked last Sunday
night:
have had stronger influence brought
against Grant, praying for his reno.

Landing, than for any other object,
coming, too, from good men; and
now look at his campaign since May
first. Where is anything in the Old
World that equals it 1t stamps him
as the greatest General of the age, il
not of the world /"
The conduct of Gen. Hooker has
been severely criticised by jealous
officers, open enemies, and by honest
but misguided men. The attacks Of
all have been quietly listened to and
thoroughly investigated by the Pres.
ident, and Gen. Hooker is sustained

vile ended in defeat, but Gen. Hooker
is not considered responsible. 1t is
true, that Halleck opposes another
forward movement at once, but it will
only be for very short time, and in
tho meantime Gen. Hooker has the
entire confidence of the President and
the Secretary of War ; the troops have
unbounded faith in him but there are
number of officers, some high in COM
mand, who will doubtless be removed
in order that harmony and cordia CO.
operation may be secured when the
army next moves.

From u that we can learn there is great
unanimity on the part of the Union men OF
Northern Iowa in favor of the two W's-War-
rem for Governor and Williams for Supreme
Judge. Many q man who would make a
good Governor three years ago is not the
man for the present crisis. 1t is this fact
that Is attracting SO many of our rejecting
men 70 the Nv" ticket They deem 1t Of
the highest importance that men of posit;se
characters should be placed in power-men
whose antecedents are right, and who have
the energy and the disposition to act when

Supreme Judge.

The retirement Of Judge Baldwin
from the Supreme Bench, leaves the re-
naming two Judges in the southern
portion Of the State, which of itself
is sufficient in justice and good policy
to concede the nomination to Nor
thcrn man. The great unanimity
with which Judge Williams was re-
elected last fall 10 his District, shows
conciusively that he stands well at
home. and can combine the entire
strength Of that portion Of the State,
and is therefore the most available
