Treatment Of oar Soldiers by tle
Politicians, f---.

Politicians. fr--
The bad treatment of our officer
and soldiers, has become so common
asno longer to create surprise. i o o..
Early in the War, Colonel Frenor
was made Major General in the reg
ular Army, and assigned TO the con
mand of the Army of the Missour
But no sooner hadhe commenced opt
rations, and placed his army fairly i
The field, then he was superseded, an,
sent into obscurity. Why was thi
done? Because Fremont issued al
emancipation proclamation in Nilsson
ri! But has not Mr. Lincoln, since
issued an emancipation proclamation
himself?a Yes, but he says 'if .ther,
is any Niger freeing to be done. ht
will do it himself. Upon this, Ere
mont'sfrients raised a muss, and he
was assigned to the command Of the
Mountain district but the Admins.
tration seized the first pretext to trip
up his heels; and, this time, sent him
into retirement with a DANA ged repu-
tation as a soldier as we'll as a philan~
thropist. r.r'iiprfH shdea
General Hunter WAS sent first to
Missouri; and then to South Carolina,
but lie too issued an emancipation
proclamation, and the President re-
warded hiz zeal, by removing him from
his command; and yet General Hun.
ter only did what Mr.. Lincoln, has
himself done. -. -.,u- .csi..... q.
With grand flourish of tfumpets,
General Pope was placed at the head
of the Army of the Potomac, and in
the midst ofhis campaign, he was ban
ished west of the Mississippi, to pur.
chase Indian scalps, attwenty>fve dol

General Stone was imprisoned in
Fort Warren for more than q year,
without charge having been prefer
red against him, and then released,
and given a. new command without
Mr.. Lincoln designing to explain why
he had been Imprisoned.
Seigle, the hero of Pea Ridge, was
removed, because he was the avowed
friend Of Fremont; and Fitz John
Porter was court-martialcd because. he
was friend of Mcclellan. 49,
Rosecrans, the victor of Stone Riv,
er and Corinth, though in Il high de-
gree possessing the confidence Of the
army and country, has been removed
from his command in disgrace; and the
Administration charge him with bad
conduct at Stone River and Chicka-
mauga, and peculation at Nashville.
Nor is this all. Secretary Stanton,
having determined to give final blow
to Rosecrans' prospects for the Presi-
dcncy, fastened to Nashville and out
comes the report of General Thomas
declaring that Lie was prevented from
gaining a decided victory, in conse,
quenee of Rosecrans having ordered
the ammunition back to Chattanooga.
Since then, Thomas has been assigned
to the command of the army of Rose
Grams. ...-L .,..,. ........... ..'.- ...
Buell., who drove Kirby Smith and
Bragg from Kentucky, by single bat
tie, was superseded in his command,
and military commission was ordered
to ascertain why he had not lost more
lives. The Court was in session six
months, took, three thousand sheets of
testimony and foundthat there was no
just cause Of complaint. But the de-
cisionsof the Court was suppressed, at
Washington, for six months, and has
only found its wayjto therlight by &C.

George B. Nc Clellan,z the favorite
of all our armies, and regarded hy
them as the best general ON the conti-
nent, was removed from his command,
because herwls1oved by the soldiers,
and trusted by the people. And We
'dono injustice to Mr.: Lincoln, when
we say that had he desired to, prevent
s5he capture of Richmond, he could not
nave adopted a better pclicy than the
one pursued, toad the rebel Cause
Mcclellan asked to be reinforced BY
one corps, which was idle, and instead
9f beng reinforced, one corps was ta~
ken from him, and that, too, when it
yas known in Washington that when
Beauregard fooled Halleck at Corinth,
s4at the former sent $4,000 mon to
Richmond, to reinforce. Lee. Thus,
Mr.. Davis increased Lees force to
10000 men, while Mr., Lincoln .redu
