IlEADQUAM'nus army of the Potomac )
Waiuiknton, Nov. 10, 180s!. $
Modern history has not furnished a
more thrilling and oifoctiug sceno than
that of McOlcllau's address to his army,
whicb wo havo witnessed here to-day.
The circumstances under which ho loaves
his gallant soldiers, and their lovo for him
havo served to render tho occasion ono of
surpassing interest. Moro than a bun
drcd thousand soldiers are in groat grief
tonight. Their accomplished, patriotic
and beloved General, uuder whom they
have fought so many successful battles,
has been superceeded in command of tho
army of tho Potomac. Shall they no
longer bo allowd to fight under tho guid
anco of their over-victorious leader ? The
order of tho President deprives them of tho
privilege, and, with MeClellan himself,
they acknowledge tho Chief Magistrate's
supremo authority.
Tim xnws op m'ci.ei.lan's kemov.u. at
JIKADQUslltTEnS.
It was nearly midnight on Friday, the
7th inst., when General lluckiugliam han
ded the order of tho President to General
MeClellan relieving him from command
of the Army of tho Potomac, and direct
ing him to report at Trenton, Now Jersey.
It was entirely unexpected by everybody
hero.
Had ho remained in command, General
MeClellan would, undoublably, have soon j
havo won a frlnrious victory over the rebel :
army. Uur troops were never in better
condition than they are now, never moro
devoted to MeClellan, and never more
anxious to fisht under his leadership, and
. , '
determined to cru-h tho rebellion with one
prand decisive blow. 1 1 ftdt so confident' 1
ho said, in a touching tone, 'that wo would
have been victorious' Aud wo all deeply !
sympathized witn tue Ueneral in tins ex
pression of regret.
Tho President's order appointed Major
General Burnside to MeClellan s late com
mand MeClellan had an immcdiuto in
terview with Burusidc, when the sorrow
ful intelligence was duclo-icd. It is diffi
cult to decide which was the more affected,
MeClellan, to leave the noblo men who
had crown up to be iutrcnid soldiers un-
dor him, or Burutido, to assume the fear-
ful responsibilities which wore thus unes
nts unes-
pectcdly placed upon him. Tears coursed
down iMoClollan's classic features, and
Bunisido, with his stout and heavy frame,
grieved like a sorrowing child. Thcro
they sat and wept. Both havo always
been warm personal friends. Thoy havo
lived and labored in the walks of civil life
together, in tho samo establishment, and
with patviotio feelings in common with
each other and us all, have fought for the
Union beneath the silken folds of tho samo
beloved banner.
Burnside wa at first disposed to dcclino
assuming tho command; but in iow of
the position of affairs with tho army con
fronting the enemy in tho field, he was in
duced to relinquish personal considera
tions with tho hopo of promoting public
good. MeClellan is well pleased with his
successor. Burtuido is a splendid fellow.
'Ho will do better," said MeClellan, 'than
nine out of ton may suppose. He has
sound seneo and integrity of purpose, and
when tbo.ie qualities aro combined success
is certain.' MeClellan has requested his
officers to give Burnside their cordial co
operation aud support.
After receiving tho order relieving him
from command, General MoClollau pat
down to write a few farewell words lo his
soldiers. How difficult a task. He dicta
ted the first few lines to Major Webb, and
thou wrote the last few lines with his own
hand. They aro beautiful, appropriate
and affectionate words.
The farewell address was not read to
the troops until this morning.
So at midnight on Friday, MeClellan
had gracefully sheathed his sword, aud
Burnsido assumed coinmaud.
THE LITKCT O.N HIS OlTICf.ns.
On Saturday tho mournful news was
known throughout Ileadquartors. His
attiff officers wero not less amazed than
MeClellan was himself. Thcro was not a
single officer who could comprehend tho
meaning or rather the justice of the mat
. " , . . i j
tor. in answer to inquiries propounucu
to himself. MeClellan simply said, 'All I
know about it is that t received tho order
dated on the 7th, immediately after tho
result of tho State elections wero announ
ced,"
Saturday was a gloomy day about these
headquarters. JMcliloian was cioseton an
day with Burnsido, unfolding to him all
liis" nlnns of tho campaign. Ho has boon
- orT 1 il II
giving all tho information and suggestions
within his power, to insure tho success of
our army under tho leadership ot its new
comtnandor. Tho wholo of yesterday was
devoted to that purpose. When ho had
givon him his plans, MeClellan dignified
his intention ofloaving tho field inimedi
utoly to repoit at Trenton, iu compliauco
with tho order.
Burnsino, reluctant to part with him so
soon, urged him to remain a littlo'longer,
tho interests of tho country domanded that
ho should, 'Well,' said MeClellan, to
somo offiocrs nroutid him, 'I'll remain just
as long as Burn wants mo.' 'No you
wont,' replied Durusido, 'for if you do, you
will remain with us altogether ' Every
body felt that yostorday was a very un
satisfactory Sunday. Morrow, disappoint
ment and doubt wero depicted on every
countenance. Throughout tho day officers
kept themselves in their tents. Head
nuartp.rs looked dismal nntl deserted.
ji cLni.iiA s b i'AUEwem. or his orrcnns.
On Sunday evening a most toucliin
nng a most touching!.
sceno took place. After having couclu-,
ded his arrangements with Burusidc, Me
(Jlullan scut an invitation to all his own
staff officers, requesting them to como into
his tent at niuo o'clock that eveuiug, to.
drink a glass of wino with him beforo ho
should bid them all adieu. They appear
ed in full uniform. A largo log firo was
blazing within the cuclosuro formed by
the headquarter tents. The officers wero
assembling in the court. MeClellan stood
just inside the door of his marquee, the
curtains of which were parted and thrown
upou either side. Promptly at tho ap
pointed hour his staff officers approached.
He gra-tped each warmly by thu h nd, aud
with a kindly word ushered him inside.
Tho tent was soon crowded to its utmost
limit, aud many were compelled to remain
outside.
Among them wero a number of officers
from different divisions of tho army, par
ticular friends of tho General, who had
como to seek a personal interview with
him beforo ho should leave tho field.
They participated in tho interesting and
solemn sceuc that cn-uod. Tho wino was
produced and the glasses were supplied.
Tho large leg fire in front of tho tent bril
liantly illuminated the court, bringing into
full view every form within it, and throw
ing a halo and enchantment over the
strango aud solemn scene. Deep silence
now prevailed. MeClellan vaiscu his glass
and proposed tho only toast of tho evening
"Here's to tho army of the Potomac"
n- ,1. .
an officer in tho company appropriately
adding, ''and to its old commander."
The sentiment thrilled through every
heart na the wine was quaffed. Hero were
oflieorfl ol rank and education genial
ffentloman and brave soldiers. Most of
them had known MeClellan in private life,
and all of them had labored with him in
the puuiic service, jio ana tncy wero
bound to each other by tho double bondi
of friendship and companionship in arms
iu a just aud holy cause. Friendship is
! onu ot tuc most bcautitul relationship
among men. True friendship is eternal.
There is much of that feeling, in its puri-
ty, existing between MeClellan and his of
ficers and men. Danger renders friend
ship dearer. The privations aud perils to
I which they have been exposed have incrra-
Iscd the toolings ot amiiattou wuicu Detore
exisled.
Friend and companions in arms I wdiat
relationship would be more comprehensive
or dear?. Some of the sweet associations
of the past were soon to bo .cvcrcd. Ev
erybody felt tho deep solemnity of tho oe
cuion. Tears were shod in profusion
An hour or two was passed in plcasiug so
cial converge, during which Gen, MeClel
lan had a kind of cheuriug word for every
ono. The officers passed around, and for
mally bade their cherished General adieu.
And this closed that solemn scene on that
memorable Sunday evening.
Al'FUCTIONATE lWREWT.LL 01" HIS SOUm'B.
This morning it was arranged that ho'
."hould visit tho trooph near by, aud pro-,'
coed to Washington by a speoial train in 1
tho evening. A splendid photograph of
the General aud his personal staff officers, !
forming a haudeome group, in front of his
tent, and another ot tho tjcneral on horse
back, wero taken before starting. When
just about to go he said, "I can hardly
bear to see my soldiers again." Then
accompanied by his officers aud escort, a
1 magnificent cavalcade, he rodo off to take
a last farewell of his troops. Tho infan
try and cavalry attached to his headquar
ters were tas to fully dipoed on tho adja
cent hill, Thoy presented a very soldiery
appearance. MeClellan rodo along ihe
lines, and as ho passed, enthusiastic cheers
spontaneously arose from tho ranks.
The soldiers could not restrain their
controling admiration for their General.
Aftor he had pa-sod along tho Hues, and
was returning towards tho hill, General
Patrick, commanding tho Provost guard
, at headquarters, dashed up the crest, and,
with cap iu hand, lot! the wholo command
in thrco additional tumultuous ohcors for
General MeClellan, The Sturgis Rifles,
which had been with him from tho timo of
his campaign in Western Virginia, gave
an extra complimentary cheer, and all tho
mon turned their heads around, anil gave
ono long last lingering look, whilst ho i
rode away to bid a similar adieu to
othor
commands.
He thon passed through tho oamps of
tho rescrvo artillery. Tho batteries woro

men presented sabers, while the muMo min
gled with their cheers as ho passed. Tho I
magnificent artillery reserve of tho army
of tho Potomao, which MeClellan had o
ganized with so muoh oaro, ho seemed r
or-
ro-
iuctant to 1 avo it now, whon thcro was
nn immediate prospect of its efficienoy be
ing fully displayed on tho field.
! It was while riding from hero that Gen.
. Buruide, accompanied by a brilliant staff,
camo dtihing across tho lie d and joinod
him. Thoy shook caoh other cordially by
tho hand, and rodo together during tho re
inaindcr of tho dny, When wo approach

troops aro encamped, wo witnosscd ono of
the mo:t effective demonstrations it has

As had been dono in other instances,
McOlollau's farewell address to his sold
iers was read to them just before ho passed
to personally bid them farowoll. As ho
rode along the turnpike, with head uncov
ered, between the lines of troops, and fol
lowed by the glittering array of officers, j
fifty thousand of his devoted soldiers, with
hearts and voices iu parfect unison, aud all
with one accord burst forth into the most
tumultuous cheering. Along the liccs he
rode amidst the continued acclamations of
fifty thousand, while from the distance, ho
would occasionally catch as though it were
an echo, tho sound from the troops we had
left behind, and who were cheering et,
long after the General hud gone away
from tho immediato vicinity of his head-j
quarters.
The banners borne by the various regi
ments were held near the road on cither
sido, and their tattered fragments were
fully csposed lo view when tho general and
party passed through the lines of troops.
Some of the standards had little but tlio
gold and silver trimmings and the silken
fringes left. A greater portion of uiauy of
tho flags had been shot awuy under tho
gallant leadership of Gen, MeClellan.
Those tattered banners, having inscribed
upon thcnsrt'ic names of tho battles iu which
the troops had fought victoriously beneath
their silken fold., wore mute yet most elo
quent memorials of the mighty struggles
which McCIcllan's soldiers havo pasicd
through. Whilst ho rode along, thu bat
teries fired salutes, the bauds played, aud
the soldiers cheered ; the smoke from the
artillery floated in among the perforated
banners, and the acclamations of the troops
mingled with tho martial music of the
bands and guns. I cannot recall from
my experience any occ uiou on which the
enthusiasm manifested by these soldiers
has been surpassed.
Passing the cud of Porter's and Couch's
lines, Geuoral MeClellan and party pro
ceeded four or five miles fuither to the
place where Franklin's corps were encam
ped. On the way, soldiers followed and
cheered him. He was soon near Frank
lin's corps. His arrival was net expected
quite so soon, and tli2 troops were not
formed to receive him. But, when the sol
diers saw him approaching their encamp
ment, tho coLr bearers of the various reg
iments grasped tho Stars and Stripes and
the regimental standards, and came dash
ing down the hil.s, and across tho fields,
the members of the regiments, without
arms, dashing wildly after them. Mo 'lol
lan passed through this mass ofsoldiers to
Geuoral Franklin's headnuartors, where
he, Burnside and Franklin, while
the
and
hitter's troops were being collected
disposed, had a protracted interview.
ibis ended, the company mounted their
horses again, and rodo among thu troops of
Franklin's corps, Smith's division, part
formed in line of battle and part in column
greeted MeClellan with groat enthusiasm.
Brooks' division came rushing across the
valley in ono graud, solid column, with
flags floating in the breeze, to meet the ro
tiring General. Thoy flocked around him
i discarding entirely everything concerning
i the lulcs of military formation, nud, in
1 the most feeling manner, bade him an nff
I cctionato farewell. The troops in New
' ton's division, formed further on, were no
I less decided and enthusiastic in their dem-
onstration. It was really wonderful to
sco how deep was tho expression of feeling
, by the soldiers on this occasion,
Having passed through tho lines of all
tho troops in tho vicinity, Geuoral MeClel
lan turned hishorso's head to go back to
his headquartors, whenco ho iutended
' proceeding to tho train which was waiting
to convey him to Washington. Now we
witnessed tho most affecting feeno of all.
Uutil this moment, it hardly seemed that
their favorite General could leave i hem.
But now ho was going from among them
ho had already gone. Tho moment that
they fully realized it, all those soldiers an
imated bv ono universal impulse, run aftor
him, some weeping aloud, and
shouted in
the most touching and appealing manner,
"Folch him baok. fetch him back " and
"Oh, como back to us, como baok to us,
McClollan.'"
As ho rodo along tho turnpiko on his
retruu from Franklin's corps, troops under
Couoh and Porter, which ho had passed in
regular formation a tew hours beforo now
rushed out from their cmp around, and
thronged tho roadsido, anxious to tako
another last look at their beloved Genoral,
Many of them wero molted to tears, and,
after chcoiing him again and again joined
in the universal supplication, "Como hack
to us, como back to us, MeClellan."
l'AUTINQ AT 1'ITZ JOHN l'OISTEU'S HllAD-
QUAUTEUS.
lulling up to General lutz John I'ortcrs
headquarters, ho was met by a delegation
composed of several hundred officers in
Porter's command. After tho party had
dismounted nnd MeClellan had reached annoyed us much. Whilo waiting for tho
tho portico of tho houso whero tho officers smoke to oicar away, I saw through the

Imled to tho affection oxistmg between
MoClollau nnd his officers, and stated tint
thoso who wero now assembled thcro had
convened to personally bid him farowoll.
In reply, General MeClellan said "I

bid you farewell. History will do justice)

Every one who hoard thoso touching
words was moved to tears. All the officers

Jl'CLEIiTjAN sVXD IlUUNSIDK.
General McClellau is a man of un
doubted ability. He is a mau of decided
talent moro than a man of geniuss. He
has a wonderful faculty of grasping grand
and complicated subjects. He is bciieved
to be the greatest general of the ape. Ho
is able, upright, patriotic and affectionate.
His goodness of heart is easily betrayed
by the soft and tender tones cf his voice
whenever he speaks a few pleasing words
to his mon. Perhaps there never was a
general more devotedly attached to his
troops than General McClellau is to the
soldiers of the Army of tho Potomac, nor
a commander moro beloved by his soldiers
than he is by them.
General Burnside is a man of uudoubted
ability also. He has not tho talent of
General MeClellan. though ho may have
more oenius. It was tho possession in such
u high degree, of both talent and genius,
that made Napoleon the acknowledged
superior of all military men. Burnsido is
also able, patriotic and good hearted.
He has tho confidence of McClellau, the
President and the country. He is tho best
man that could be selected at the present
moment to assume command, lho array
will have confidence iu Burnside also, aud
will fight tho future battles for tho Union
brively under his leadership, iiut it is
like losing a tried and cherished friend
death snatches him away ; no one can ever
fully take tho iilacc of him. So, to the
soldiers of tho Army of tho Potomac, no
general, however able, bravo and patriotic
ho may be, can ever fully take tho place
ol Uctioral Moulellan.

Sir: You havo asked rao for " a for
nml report of tho part borne by mo and
my command in the action at Hull Hun on
the 3Uth August, with a brief acoount of
my career, treatment, &o., among the reb
els '
On the morning of the 30th of August
wo croaod the Centcrvillo pike along the
Sudley Churoli road, and were placed on
tho ertromo right ot tho line of artillery,
which occupied the ridge west of tho turn
piko. An almost level plain ran along the
trout of the ridge, beyond which was a
strip of woods containing a rail-road em
bankment which thoonomy used as breast
works. Tho tlistanco between us and tho
woods was about 501) yards. Duryea's
Brigado occupied them, and Gen. Carroll
was on his right, while another strip of
woods was on our right aud rear. Early
in the afternoon the enemy opened on in
from their left, but did us comparatively
little damage. About I P. M. Lieutenant
Case's section was sent to the left to report
iv uuii. uiuvcus j-uu uiimujr uj mis uniu
succeeded in massing 50 pieces of artillery

under Uol, S. 1). Leo of S. C. on a com
manding oniiueiico in tho anglo formed by
tho Junction of Loncrstrcot's aud Jackson's
j linos. This artillery opened on our lino
at the samo time they commenced chang
, ing our left flank, and from that moment
i the cugngomont became general along tho
entire line.
You thon ordered mo into tho open field
I with directions to open on tho enemy's
batteries. This changed our front to the
loft, and put all tho artillery in echelon
i my right resting but a short distanco from
! tho woods whero I had scon Gen Duryea's

jiuiisuu i.i .11, I, u uivi. (tnum u,u.uit
minutes, when tho smoke became so dunso
. us to m:ko objects indistinguishable !U)0
' yards from us. Tho enemy got a battery
in position on our right, tho tiro of which
towards us, marched from tho fiold by tho '
right flank, aud thus left us exposed. Wo
opened on thorn wtth canister, and I bo
licvo Thompion's Pa Uattery did tho
Bamo. They then commenced firing and
soon after chargod. Their colors foll.thtjy
then haltod, and finally fell back to tho
woous wuon tncy wero reintorceu by an-
other Brigade. Again thoy oamo steadily
foro our canister. A glauco nt tho field
showed me that our infantry and artillery
cn tho left had quit tho field, and tho
Battery on my left was entirely descrtod,
though wo wero nearest tho enemy. Our
infantry support also failed to como up.
You thou ordered mo to fall back to my
original position, and to open with oanistor
again. I did so aftor sending my caissons
from tho Gold. The oncniy though enfila
dod by our fire, camo on with loud cheers
aud took possession of the deserted Battery,
and then tnado a left half wheel and char
ged on us again. Thompson's Battery
fell back to tho rear, and I was left alona
on tho field, deserted by my infantry sup
port, many of my men scattered, thrco of
my horses shot, my canister cxhaustod aud
tho enemy nearly upou mo. They already
held tho Smiley Church road, and our on
ly chanco of osoapo was through tho woods
in my roar. 1 succeeded in getting ono
I - mw - T I ..w.vw II L.1 U
shot dead and the others wounded. I had
pieco in there, nut the wheel horsc3
but thrco men loft out of tho thirty-five I
took into action, and they managed to get
away. I got safely through tho woods and
succeeded in rallying a few hundred infan
try with the intention of bringing off my
pieces by hand, but a General rodo up
and prevented me.
I then rodo up to a framo building used
as a hospital, where I found Gen. B.iokctt3
and you. You kindly placed at my dis
posal another detachment of artillery with
instructions to use it whero I thought beet.
I took it to tho front of tho hospital, and
fired till dark, when Gen. Heintzleman or
dered mo to coase firing, but to hold tho
position uutil further orders. Our troops
had oommeneea oiuBain-Bull Hun, hat I
was not notified of tho fact. I had scarcely
ceased firing whan a man in rebel uniform
walked up to me from lho bushes in front.
Ou questioning him I found he belonged
lo tho 10th Miss , Fcathorstone's Brigade.
Ho supposed us to bo friends until 1 took
him prisoner. Ho told mo I had better
give up as his Brigado was in my front,
and Pondor's between mo and Bull Hun.
I turned to give this information to Gens.
Heintzleman and Stevens, who stood noar
mo but a fow moments previous, but only
a few of their staflreinained. Not far
from us Carroll's Brigade was drawn np
in liuo, their left resting on tho building.
With my prisoner and piece of artillery I
proceeded into the yard when tho enemy
fired a volley which killed my leading hor
ses, and disabled the piece. The infantry
broke and ran. About 200 wounded lay
in the yard, and among these the enemy
charged, aud finally took us all prisoners.
I managed to destroy the fuses, friction
primers, and cartridges.
And now a few words in reference to
our treatment. The prisoners wero gath
ered together and marched to tho place
whero my section was taken. Hundreds
of dead and wounded lay on tho ground
whore they had charged us, showing how
heavily they lost. A largo force was ta
king care of their dead and wounded, whilo
ours wero left untouched. Their loss was
fully equal to our3. From Saturday to
Monday wo were kept at Young's Branoh
without anything to eat, or any covering.
Many of our wounded lay on the field un
attended from Friday till Tuesday. On
Tuesday morning, weak, hungry and tired,
Pope's officers, Virginia loyalists, and
about 200 negroes commenced their march
"Ou to llichmond." We wero taken
through Thoro'faru Gap where our Divi
sion had defeated L nigstreet, and driven
him back, Jeff Davis was at Warronton.
On Friday we reached tho Hapidan after
enduring innumerable insults and suffer
ing?. lor seven days we had nothing to
eat but greeu corn which we plucked as
we went through tho fields, and yet they
compelled us to travel 80 miles in iUdays.
Tho nights were cold and chilly, yot uo
blankets woro allowed us. Our pockets
were searched, and even ooniba were ta
ken from u .
At Gordonsvillo wo wero thrust into a
low filthy room, tho stench in which was
tiickoning, Ou Saturday wo reached Lib
by Prisons. The floors to tho depth of
one half an inch were covered with tho
dritiuings of hogsheads of molasses and to
bacco, and though used as a prison for
eighteen mouths had never becu cleaned.
Tho basement was used ,a3 a horse stable
and dead house. For two weeks wo re
mained in this filth without covering or
blankets, Tho sink was a small box on
tho same floor, and bciug used by nearly
100 men gave out a horrible stench. Wo
woro not allowed to look out of tho win
dows, ono man being shot for so doing ou
the day of our arrival.
Two swill buckets full of soup wero
dealt to us twiee a day, but nothing to oat
it with. Wo split our canteens for dishes,
and whittled spoons from blocks oi wood.
Filth was in everything, and tho most
watchful care could not keep our porson3
freo.from vermin. Our keopcrs woro ox-
i tremoly brutal and took overy opportune
ty to insult us. Wo wero released on
tho 21th of Sept,,but only aftor a flag of
, tiuco had been sent for ns fivo times, Had
Pope remained in qoramaud, we should not
havo got out till the end of tho war.
Thcro aro many incidents I should lik
to mention, butlnok of space forbids,
