clusion of which the Baltimore choir treated the
assemblage to a beautiful dirge, written at Gettys-
burg by 3. b. French. When this was over, Marshal
Lamon introduced the President. who made a short
characteristic speech, which was received with great
applause; and at its conclusion three cheers were
given for him and three for the Governors of the
States. The number assembled was between thirty
and fifty thousand. Everything passed off quietly
and satisfactorily.
Among the letters to Jefferson Davis, recently
captured, is one written by General Gadsden, of
South Carolina, dated Mexico, as far back as 1854,
when Davis was Secretary of War, developing the
scheme of n great federation of West India Islands,
including Cuba, to be q formidable commercial and
naval power, stimulated in their advancement and
prosperity by African slavery as now existing in the
Southern States, where Southern planters of enter
prise will find space and inducements enough to seek
new homes for themselves and domestics in the most
lovely domains of Gods creatiOn- and all united in
harmony under one homogeneous American system.
The ITibune'S Washington special dispatch says
the attention of the President, and the most prom
inent members of the Cabinet, and other gentlemen,
have been largely given to the important considera-
tons connected with the recall to the Union of the
truant Southern States, several of which may soon
be knocking at the door. The precise course TO be
adopted is not yet determined. Several theories
claim the Presidents ear, but he is engaged in ma
turing a practical plan by which to secure a reunion
upon the only practical basis-that basis being free
dom and equality before the law; for all the recent
utterances of the President instructive to the recently
commissioned representatives Of the Government in
the districts of the South, now in our possession,
leave no doubt that the policy of the Administration
is to permit none of the rebel States to come back
with a slave constitution.
REASONS FOR RosECRANs' REMovAL-Gen. Rose
Grams undoubted popularity with the people, greater
than even Gen. McClehan's at any period, will call
forth many remarks about the injustice of the re-
moval at this time. In the Army of the Cumber-
land Gen. Rosecrsns is adored, but the soldiers of
that army are too intelligent TO indulge in any ebulli-
ton of indignation for his removal. The reasons for
this step are understood to be as follows: Pending
the battle of C~hickamauga, Rosecrans did, as a mat
ter of fact, telegraph Gen. Halleck that his army was
utterly routed. Then, when he discovered that the
damage was not so bad as supposed, he tried to creep
out of his distressing dispatch, by shifting the bur-
den TO McCook and Crittenden. In unofficial letters,
he hoped that the latter would be removed from CON-
mand. but did not boldly assume the share of his
own responsibility for the check at Chickamauga.
\ question Of rank between Gen. Hooker and Gen.
Rosecrans was another complication which unsettled
the organization of the army-a question which the
President should have decided before Gen. Hooker
left Washington. Some additional reasons, known
only to the President and War Department. are
understood to have influenced this decision. Gen.
Halleck has been antagouistic to Gen. Rosecrans for
some time.
The removal of Gen. Rosecraus is . wonderful illus
tration Of the country's patience, that the man who
was the idol of the nation and the army, a few weeks
ago, should be removed without q murmur. Neither
Fremont nor Mcclellan were ever so popular as Rose
Grams, and besides their removal was predicted and
talked abou; for many weeks prior TO the actual fact
itself; whereas, the order TO retire Rosecrans was
sudden and unexpected.
