Sheridan Removed.

The long threatened removal of
Sheridan has been accomplished; and
he is ordered 70 I.eavenworth to sue
coed Gen Hancock, while Gen Thorn
as takes Sheridan's place, and Han
cock succeeds Thomas. Gen Grants
order for making these changes is in
our dispatches today, butt is care

Cen Grant significantly tinstructs
Gen Thomas to make mo change III

approval of the General commanding

the Indictment Of the people against
a recreant. and treacherous President
whose cup Of infamy was seemingly

consolidating its strength on this

to observe q generous liberality on

Even on questions Of tariffs, Of reve-

A FAILURE.-It is agreed upon all
hands that the Copperhcad meeting
here on last Saturday was failure,
not only as tcithe numbers present,
and the total want of enthusiasm, but
in regard to the speech of the Rev.
Henry Clay Dean. It is said by
those that wore present that it was
a poor rambling, desultory, disjoint-
ed, pointless haranguc, and that it
fell like wet blanket upon the dis
appointed and spiritless audience.
The Gods truth about the matter is
that a Copperhead mcetingnow-days
with disaster and defeat staring them
in tho face, and with the odium and
contempt of loyal people pursuing
them like averaging spirits, makes but
q sorry appearance, and even the
over-estimated rant of Dean is not
