THE RESIGNATION OF MCCLELLAN.
The mystery about AlcCleIlan's resignation
it seems originated IN tho unwlllingness Of
snbordlnates to reveal even the ordinary oc
currences Of the VAR Department during Sec
rotary Stanton's illness. It has at last been
nscertained that Mcclellan wrote his resigua-
ton the night before the election, giving it in
next day. He doubtless supposed that as be
was to be elected President, he would not
need it any longer. It seems not to have
,eachcd the Department till some days after,
but was without hesitation accepted. Nop
look out for an abe and eloquent strategic Gna-
tor from Tie Jrseys.
Maj. Gen. Phil. Sheridan is worthily ap-
pointed to the vacancy in the regular army,
huppily caused by the resignation Of McClel-
Ian.
