EVEN the better class of the Republican
papers cannot help condemning Mr.. LIS>
coin for his course toward General Nc
CLRLLAN. He has certainly acted very
strangely, and from very strange motives.
Very recently he signi6ed, through a mem
hes of his Cabinet, to McGLELLAE that if
he would withdraw from the canvass for
the Presidency; he (LTNcoLN) would as
sign him to an important command. Yet
be gives out as the reason for McCLELLAN's
removal his incompetency, or ct least his
friends do. To be rid of a rival aspirant,
however, he will risk the army of the coun-
try, aud the country itself in a measure in
his hands. .aE
The Springfield Republican, a leading sup-
porter of Mr. LINcoLN's re election, hits the
President as follows, on this subject:
And as to the attempt Of the President
to induce General Mcclellan to get off the
Presidential track, General Naglee's ac>
count is likely enough to be correct in sub
stance. We cannot say we think it was a
SPACIOUS operation, or that the President
is likely to help his chance by any such
means. If he thinks he can place General
Mcclellan in any command with advantage
to the Union cause, he shonld do so with
out any condition precedent" Ifnot, no
! political reasons Should influence him to
give the discarded general a command. 1t
: would be we'll for the President, as much
as in him lies, to stand wholly aloof from
the machinery of the political campaign.
The party committee at W ashington will do
the party strategy well enough.

II PoPSio " III - NOh'oih
but little news. We gather the following
from them:
REPORTS FROM HooD's ARMY.
The Examiner mentions a rumor prevail
ing in Richmond on Tuesday. that Hood
has recaptured Atlanta and FIVE of Shcr-
mans army corps, and that, with two re-
naming corps, both was fighting their way
back to Tennessee
The same paper mentions a rumor that
Burbridge was in East Tennessee. 1t claims
his defeat at Saltville. The Examiner says
all of the Yankee prisoners at Belle Isle and
Libby prisons and intermediate posts have
been removed southwark. The whole num-
Der remaining now in Richmond, ST * and
we'll, does not reach six hundred.
The Wing says two hundred rebels, who
had deserted to Grant, Lad returned under
Lees new order pardonlng and furloughing
them.
ENERA GRANTS ORDER To GEN. SHERIDAN.
The enemy are bitter on General Grants
order to Sheridan. The following editorial
on the subject is from the Fhiq of the llth:
Grant has ordered Sheridan to take away
from the people OF the valley all their re-
naming means Of supporting life, and to
make of that beautiful and fertile region a
barren waste. This is the cowardly and
brutal revenge that the commander Of the
Yankee armies proposes to take for not be-
ing permitted to occupo and hold the valley.
His armies are unequal to conquer the
troops they encounter, but they are quite
equal to that of ravaging the land, pillaging
the houses, and starving the unofending
and helpless families. This is Yankee war.
Sherman banishes a whole city by a fat,
and Grant orders the wholesale and undis
eliminating devastation Of eight or ten of
the largest and weaithiest counties of Vir.
ginia. 1t so happens, too, that this order
is applied to a community, no inconsidera-
bic portion of which, if not friendly to Lin>
coin, has not signalized its Zeal for the con
federate cause. But all tories, neutrals. and
true and faithful Vlrginiars are to share
alike. The valley is to be made q desert
as far as Yankee Tapacity snd destructive
ness can effect it.
