> 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. .

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.

THE GOVERNMENT.—If-we are to judge by
the evidences we see and the confirmatory
effect of the late elections has been salutary
to the Administration. ‘The great want of
the President has been a will to act energetically. His long-time indecisior has. evaporated over the fire of Northern opposition. ~
much at once, and wakes up to action. We
aecordifigly see the.most_ stupendous preparations going on by sea -and land-for the reduction of the rebellion. ‘There 1s activity
all along the.western rivers, on the Gulf, in
Mississippi and Tennessee, in all the dock
yards of the country, on the ocean, every
where. Something important is going on in
Virgivia and North Carolina; Rosecrans is
on some mysterious enterprize; Grant is!
pushing down upon the rebels; McClernatd
ia about to descend the Mississippi with an
immense armament; Banks, with a powerful
force, is bound for Texas; Commodores Farragut and Dupont are on the’ gui vive, and
Wilkes ithe terror of blockade-runners.—
There is more life visible now in our movements by se# and land than ever before:; + The
elections inthe North have given decision to
the Gevernihent and put a spur in the side of
its intent. .

IRREGULAR PapDY.—No irregular effort

classes, not if it entails on him the loss ofa
day’s food and the loss of a night’s rest; the
actual pleasure of the irregularty repays him
for all this, and he never tells ‘that this or
that is not his work. He prefers work that
is not his own. Your coachman.will have no
