The most prominent item In the New York
papers of Friday is the removal Of General
koseerans from the commAud Of the Army
of the Cumberland. He received the order
relieving him from commend Oh Monda,
evening last, and left on WedB, sday for CiH-
einnati, where he wa. ordered TO report, leaving
Gen. 1homas-in command. At Stevenson, Ala,
he met Cen. Grant, who had bern ordered from
Nashville to take command of the army. Po,h
Generals. stat there that night. and were The
guests Of Cen, Hooker. Gras. wGs stiM waking

aeeidsns- The Philadelphia Tngii,ey says Of his
renewal:
The country was somewhat startled BY the ru-
NOR, followed by the aeknow! !edged statement,
that Hosecrans had been relieved from his com
maEf. The reasons see 10 to be that he exceeded
his instructions and was unsuccessful: that be

the enen: the ba,tle was not as skiIfuliy managca
as IL might have been. We do not ,,resume 10
judge. Rose,rans has gained great credit in
former actions, aud cf this any mere failure a.
tried tn make lis believe he was forced bv the
War Department 10 move, but the movement and
the III success, IL seems, were his own.
A telegram from Washington .ives uie Govern
ment reasons for tine removal among which il win

presance CT the enemy It says:
The removal OF RosecraDs 10 ,he subject of much
and contradictory comment. The more correct
understanding OF the causes that led 10 il IL thai
charges were preferred against him by Generals

its crisis, and uf his 1nsodetly aud nii.chievous

sentiment 81 his dis0bedience q: positive orders not

Cha;tanaaga before he was reinforced; also, its
impa,ience of his disposition and handling his
troops on The field.
The reputation io, courage that he wen a, Stone
Iit"I Is plead in bar to the upuia of c0Wartice
in his abandonment Of the hattie ground, and his
friends attribute il 10 q mistaken impression that
his army had been wholly whipped and was wholly
on the retreat. The replication 10 this is that such
mistake is Il complete disqualification for com
inana.
The statement acquiring growth that he had all
atIack OF epilepsy during the battle. and that he
subject 10 that disease, is untrue; but that he
was constituionaiy and BY education snbiect 10
fits OF religious depression Of the profound st cha
racter, is correct, as is well known. In ccnnnc-
IL fourth specification the
The Teiations between Genera! Rnsccrans and
the GeueTal- in Chief, iaiieek, have been bad. A
sharp correspondence took place between them
,er the bauie o Chattanooga, and before that the
Government had found tau:t with his miitaty
conduct OH several OCCASIONS, and he had re.oried
b., charges Of neglect by the Government aud want
of support.
His removal has been in contemplation for some
tine.
Gen. Meade. it appears. ia shont 70 share the
fate Of Rosserans. The Washington Republican,,
Government osgan,) OF Friday, announces the ar
rival OF Meade there, and says:
We stated yesterday morning that Meade had
been ordered To pursue Lee and give him battle
We gave the item As Il rumor, although il was
well founded. We now learn that he was posi-
lively ordered to pursue Lee and make him fgat-
From the fact that no engagement has taken ace.
since the Generals arrival in the city all sorts OF
rumnrs have been set afoat. Some are to the ef-
feet that he was 10 he removed unless he led Lee
inlo battle, aud that, failiEg in so doing, lie has
presented hiInsai, for that inject. BE this as il
may, we learn that he has informed the President
thai he cannot make forward movement under
three weeks at least, on account Of the condition
OF The railroad, winch has been utterly destroyed
II will take AT least sixteen days to replace the
bridge at Ruppahannock Station, and, until that
structure is rebuilt, no extensive advance can be
made. In connection with this subject we may
state that il is rumored that Eweli's corps has
been sent to reinforce Bragg.
Washington telegram to the PHILADELPHIA In.
Qui,er says:
General Meade, and General Humphreys, Chief
of staff, arrived this afte noon from The front, and
are in town TO Right. Speculation is busy concern
ing the object OF this visit, and some wiseacres
have it tina. Meade has been relieved, and ordered
w hinyton because be failed TO attxsA lie as
ordered several days ago.
In view O. this some are already canvassins who
will be hts successor. Generals Warren, Seds-
wick, Hancock, and Sykes bave been named
There is reason TO believe, from sources we'll in-
iormsd that the reports OF Meade being relieved
are without foundation, and the object OF his ysi,
Is 30 clnsutt with the President coHcernine the
Army OF the Potomac. He win leave in the mora
ing for the army.
Reports from the Army of the Potomac repre-
sent all quiet to-day. The presence of Genera.
Meade in Washington indicates no active opera
tans at present. The campaign On the Bappahan
mock may be considered clos Cd, az least till repairs
10 the railroad below Manassas have been com
pleted.
Admiral Dahsren in command of the tlesi be-
fore Charleston, has also gone UP. The New
Y0lk UoTld has special dispatch from Washing
ton stating that Captain Thomas Turner has re-
lieved Admiral Dahigren.''
THE MOVEMENTS OF GEAbE'S ARMY.
The Baltimore .4n.'ican, OF Friday, has the fol-
lowing about the movements OF Meade's army:

A dispatch received last nigh. from Gen. Meade

was Oh Wednesday, again south OF the Rapidan,
and that he had difficulty In crossing acesunt
OF the bridges having been carried away By the
late storm. There wns somc uncertainty as 10
wheiher a portion OF Stuar's cavalry had yet
crossed. Prisoners admit that his hasty retreat
was caused principally by the scarcity OF provi-
sions, and wien they passed through Warrenioh
they said they had not eaten m0lithru for twenty
four hours. A dispatch 10 the New York Tribune
