OALIFORNIA, _ Nevada County Official Pros, WEEZNESDAY MORNING DEC. 3. y 3 > Immepiare Cévses of McCLeLLan’s -RemovaL.—The overland mail brings more full reports than any we have yet received, of: the immediate causes of McClellan's removal, These reporte show that McClellan was not deprived» of his command without apparent cause. He is considered responsi‘ble for the surrender of Harper’s Ferry. The entire Commission, consisting of Gen. Hune ter, Joseph Holt, Gen. Cadwaader, Gen. Auger, Maj. Piatt, and Captain Ball, so find him responsible, and the testimony of Gen. Halleck 1s to the same effect. The factsate these ¢ On the 11th of September Gen. Me_ Clellan wrote te the War Department asking “the transfer of the 10,000 men under Miles at Harper's Ferry, from Wool’s command to swell his own army. . He represented that if the garrison at the Ferry were beseiged they were useless there. As that point was con-~ sidered a key to o vast extent of country, McClellan was told in case the garrison were beseiged, he must cut his way through the beseigers to their relief. Col. Miles was as sured that he would have reinforcements, gent him, that McClellan would mareb to bis relief. Three days after, McClellan knew Col; Miles was closely beseiged and in need of assistance. Miles was promised suppert if he could only hold out for one day. When on the 15th the War Department learued that the enemy had planted cannon on Maryland Hights, overtoping the Ferry, McClellan was urged in the strongest terms to send reinforcowents to Miles at once. A large reinforcewent had been sent him so that his foregs, the Army of the Potomac, would not be weakened by the detachment he might send to Miles, Not the least effort was made by McClellan to relerve the beseiged garrison. Although Harper's Ferry was but one day’s march distant McClellan only made less than six miles average marcb per day. Nor was tho interfered with by the War Department Tho old oxewes for his failure in the peninsula, of his being harapered and erppled by the ..War Department, will not avail him this time. ‘ His requisitions were all honored and nething considered serious by a good General interfered with his march to the relief of Harper’s Ferry. Competent military authority declares that had the Ferry been defended securely, the result to the rebels would have been disastrous. Gen. Lee would have had no good line of retreat, and the torce of Jackson could not have cooperated with bim at Antietam. « Gen. Halleck testifies that Harper's Ferry could and should have been defended by McOClellan and the Commission entirely concur. -The Commissioners say that ‘‘ had the garti‘son at the Ferry been slower te surrender, or the Army of the Potomac swifter to marelig, the enemy would have been forced to raise . the siege or have been taken in detail with the river dividing his forces.” 5 The testimony of Gen. Halleck shows that, though peremptorily ordered to cross the Potomac without delay, Gen. McClellan did not meve_in three weeks after he received the order, and no good reason is shown why he did not obey orders. re, These reasons were deemed sufficient b the War Department for the removal of Mc. Clellan from command, and we apprehend any competent military authority will acqui~ esce in the judgment of the President and his advisers. . rd EB" Who can estimate in figures the extra amount of blood that has been shed and mon. ey expended in this war against tréason, on account of the anti-coercion doctrines enunciated at first by the Democratic party in the North, and the more open and avowed coop-, eration of such Democrats as Fernande Wood with the rebels? It may be said the hope of the rebellion at first was in the assistance held. out by Northern Democrats. Lawrence Keitt, of South Carolina, expressed the hope of his kind, when he said, after reading the Democratic New York. platform of _ 1861, that such assistance of the Northern Democrat? rendered-the South invinerble. ‘Tue cotton “¢rop of Tlineis this year will amount to 20,000 bales of upland quality. at ’ §2" Mr: Pungburv, whose place ié near Sunta Rosa, lost some 1,500 pounds of new .

He prefers work that is not his own.
