THE REMOVAL OP GENERAL MeOLET.T• A W. • The papers of Friday morning last con tained a telegram from Washington, that th*beetilield, the day previous, an "im portant cabinet meeting at which General Haßeek was present and that, in knowing circles cabinet and military changes were rumored.';" This was followed up yester -Isy morn ing by a telegram announcing the remov al of General McClellan and the appointment of General Burnside in hie stead. This morning we have a long let ter by telegraph from General Halleck to the Secretary of War, to which we direct attention, , Mad - which is dated October 28th, 1862. Whir this letter never saw daylight until yestirday, two weeks after it is pre sumed to hive been written, is somewhat incomprehensible to us ; although the charges it contains against McClellan are now given to the public as reasons for that officer'i removal. By reference to:this carefully diewn letter of Gen. Halleck it will be seen that McClellan'S offences com menced on l the first of October, shortly after the leittle of Antietam, by disobey ing a peremptory order from Halleck "to cross the iFotomao, give battle to the enemy anOrive him South." General McClellan'ii reply to this "peremp tory order" , 1 is not given - by General Hailed, Mad until it is we are not dis posed to believe that his neglect was the result of a i liything else than a stern and absolute n ecessity. McClellan's version of the historY of the war, from the day of the battle Antietam until he was re lieved of 110 command, might cast addi tional light upon many counts in the care fully-drawn ,!indietnient against him by Gen Halleck. Allowing them all to be entirely true, nothing extenuated nor aught set down in malice, the query arises: Why was noCMcClellan removed the mo ment he disobeyed a. positive, peremptory and most i4ortant order from the gov ernment? 'Had the approaching elec tions in Ockiber and November anything to do with the delay? It looks so, from the simple circumstance of the great con* test in New York having been principally f,eght against Gen. Wadsworth, because of that gentleman's open hostility to Lien. McClellan. That there has been a de termined effort to crush thatofficer no one will deny. He was suspended once, and (len. Pope put in command; necessity forned the President to . reinstate but.. we hope very devoutly that no disaster will occur under the gallant General Burnside which will again eom• pel the government to look to McClellan for protection. Whether n great comman der or not, he is not the mau to command our army in . Virginia. Immense pressure was need to crush him, and those who made it never would be satisfied so long as he was continued in command. We have been looking for his removal for six months, and our only regret is that it didn't take place before. Let those who have control of the Administration, to whose councils and exactions the President has at length given way, have the control of our army, by having the selection of its Generals.— This will, at least, prevent them from con spiring to embarrass both the government and our armies, and may procuce a feel ing of unanimity in both which will sud denly and safely crush the rebellion. For McClellan himself he may rest se cure; detraction has done its worst; he is, we believe, a soldier and a patriot; his con duct, we think, will defy the closest scru• tiny, and even if "he never set a squadron in the field," his orders to his command would of themselves prove him to be a man of rare and acccomplished endow- Ments. ILLINOIS, ALL HAIL ! The result of the late election in the State of Illinois, which the telegraph was so tardy in announcing, is gradually developing itself •by the old but sure agency of the mails; the results from every quarter of the State are of the most extraordinary character. The Democrats now claim the popular vote of the State by 25,000 majority; they claim the L<•g,is. latnre in both branches by a large major ity, and they claim ten members at Cott• gress out of the fourteen elected. The most gratifying teature of this is the defeat of the notorious Lovejoy ; that heated fanatic, whose ribald and impious speeches, in and out of Congress, placed him at the head of the infidel radical class, is reported beaten by Col. Henderson, his Democratic opponent. This is the great est political revolution that has taken place in any Congressional district in liii nois. Lovejoy carried it two years since by some six thousand msjoi ity. • This remarkable change demonstrates that radical and blasphemous Abolitionism has lost its attractions, tor ' s even the ?Den who have for so many years clung to the political fortunes of Owen Loy< ioy. His course in the last Congress broke the last link which bound them to him,'• and they now cast him off ; we trust for ever. This political revolution in Illinois is the most remarkable that has occurred in the late elections. In Pennsylvania and New York, Abolitionism was somewhat en- couraged by the accession to its ranks o certain Democrats, whose reputations, generally, were not attractive. The de sextioiviAveak-ti,'Actm 'warm - 1J a dg las lived, were his most noisy followers, went over to the opposition. Mr. Diger soli, one of this class, was put atthe'head of their ticket—not as one of their own, but as a "War Democrat." He stumped the State in the name of what he styled Douglas Democracy, and he was hi , aten twenty thousand votes. Others, ton, now in the service of the Eovernment, who used to be very decided and radical in their no• tions of Democratic principles and 111V11 sures, but who have recc-ntly discoverer that the road to military preferment that of Abolitionism, gave in their ad heSion to the radicals of Illinois, and their examples were quoted as evident:ft of the greatest and loftiest public virtue. But in the face of all these discouraging circumstances, the conservative citizens of Illinois have put their seal of condemna tion upon the very measures which at meted the support of Colonels Loga Gene. McClernand and Lew Wallace The late proclamation of ttm President, and the introduction of contraband ne groes into 'the State, have met the over whelming condemnation of the people of Illinois. The President's own State. and especially his town and county, have sig. nifmantly condemned the late prominent acts of his Administration. Whether he will heed and profit by these results are questions which will develop the • sagacity or the stolidity of President Lincoln. LESSONS TAUGHT BY THE LATE ELECTIONS. The New York Eveniny Post, the ablest Republican journal in the metropolis, gives several good reasons for the defeat of its party at the late election ; among them is the following, to which we direct attention. The few small fry malcontents in this locality who are anxious for a na• tional convention to, endorse the suspen• sion of the habeas corm's, and arbitrary arrests generally, would do well to ponder upon the lesson which the Evening Post here teaches : "The second lesson taught is that the rights of peaceful and loyal citizens—the acknowledged guaranties of civil liberty— are not to be t (Med with, or handled in an arbitrary manner. We acquit the Admin istration wholly, in its various arrests of individuals and its suppression of news papers, of the purpose to do wrong. We believe that in the majority of instances in which they have incarcerated persons in Fort Warren or Fort Lafayette, they have done no substantial injustice ; we hold, too, that in times of civil war these excep tional proceedings are often absolutely ne cessary ; but we approve and applaud, at the same time, the jealousy with which the popular mind always watches such resort,. They should be used only under imperatire circumstances: the reasons fur them should be made public whenever that. is possible ; and they should never be suffer ed to wear a color of caprice or of per sonal whim. While spoor country editor, for instance, whose sheet does not reach a thousand readers, is suddenly hauled up by the officers of the law for an incautious expression of treason, the rich city editor, who speaks to hundreds of thousands— who lies without scruple, and who boldly promotes anarchy, invites military des potism, and vilifies every officer of the government, should not go scot free. Such inconsistencies sh-)w that the arrests are rather Voluntary than imperative; while they strengthen and even embitter the natural resentment with which every „interference with the operations of courts .of justice is regarded.' SOUTHERN ITEMS The people of Little Rock and vicinity are represented as having a hard time to get something to eat. Bacon is thirty to forty cents per pound, and flour was not to he had at any price. Indeedi.starvatios aillaW.t looked them in the (see . , and ful time 13 before the , people of Arkansas the coming winter. The Richmond Examiner Rays . "The Southern people expect now only one thing—war until they are destroled, or a peace is made with a beaten enemy on his own soil. What Europe is going to do, what the North is going to do, are clues , tious which perplex us no more. We are determined on that simple and clear road to our end, which is measured by the blade of the sword. The South will now fight while a man remains in it. It hunts for no allies, and will look for no terms." _ - • • . The Confederata Congress has appro. priated six millions of dollars tor . the de fences of the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, and ordered the building of a sal cient number of gunboats for the protec tion of those rivers. Governor Harris has issued an order for the enforcement of the conscription law in all the counties east of Davidson, in Mid dle Tennessee.' In the city of Richmond two rifle mann• factories are, actively engaged in making muskets; and The Tredegar Iron Works employ over four hundred Men in casting balls and shells. Amusing `•Affair of Honor." Mr. D. C. Birdsall, of tNew York, in a reesnt political speech, scathed Cassius M. Clay so severely, that Mr. C. has challeng ed him to fight a duel. Mr. Birdsall, in his speech, condemned Clay for absenting himself from Kentucky, where the women and children require protection against rebel raids, to make abolition speeches in New York, and stigmatize loyal men as traitors, using very sharp language, where upon Clay sent him the following note : Ntw YORE, Nov. 6, 1862, .Sir—During the lute political canvas in this State you were reported in newspapers as having made a slanderous and false at tack upon me, which my political duties did not allow me to notice at that time. The excitement being now over, I ask you as a gentleman to retract the otfelisive langtiage refbrred to, or name .a convenient place for me to meet you. I refer you to my friend, Hon. Isaac Dayton, 217 Broad way, for particulars. Yours truly. D. C. Birdsall, Esq. Mr. Birdsall declined the honor of meet ing Mr. Clay in mortal combat, giving hie reasons through the colt/ inns of the Herold as follows 1. 1 am a law abiding citizen.. flaying never knowingly broken law, I cannot now consent to plane myself beyond its protection by meeting him in deadly en counter, premeditatedly, when the laws of my own State declare such an act to be a felony. bnsiness is such that. I cannot afford to waste more time upon him now, it having been sadly neglected of late by reason of my time having been so much employed by the efforts I have been mak ing to redeem my State from the arbitrary sway of men holding the same fanatical opinions that Mr. Clay does. J. That I should be guilty of base in gratitude should I rdect and kill him after the great services he has done, my party in opening the eyes of the people to the true intentions of his political associates. In conclusion, I will simply say that when Mr. Clay has done his whole duty as a Major General, in speedily dosing up this bloody, and, I think, unnecessary war, so that I can again visit his native State, and he still feels aggrieved at what L.k.- tionorante manner he &ay sug gest, according to law, and give him full and entire satisfaction. Yours, truly. 1). C. B/ RDSAI.I.. This was disposing of the Kentucky lunatic and bully in a very proper manner. Another similar affair of honor has been made public by John Van Buren, who pub lished the following in the New York flee• ald, of the Mh instant: To the E•lihr yr the Herald : • I have just received by mail the enclosed communication, which I ask you to pub lish for the benefit of all concerned. I do not regard this as a private letter, as the writer announces .his purpose to publish it at the expiration of ten days, and I suppose that I have the right to do sri now. Truly, yours, .1.

John's anxiety that the Count's letter should not be deemed a "private" one, in view of the late controversy about the Scott letter, is amusing. The A. Gurowslisi, who signs this del- ... irate epistle to Mr. John Van Buren, the Ilera says, is the well known, distin guished, elegant, polite and accomplished Russian nobleman who was at one time an attache of the State Department, but whose stupendous abilities rare attain ments rand unequalled manners so far eclipsed the republican simplicity of Sec retary Seward's acquirements and deport. ment, that the Secretary, jealously fearful of invidious comparisons, was reluctantly obliged to request Gurowski to resign his position. Since that time and indeed for some years previous, Gurowski has held the arduous and responsible station of Washington correspondent of that verse cious, honest and impartial journal, the New York Tribune. The Abolitionists are so sore over their late defeat that they want to kill the Dem ocrats. This Quixotic couple, Cassius Marnellus Clay and Count Ciurowski, 11,oth from Russia,) will probably perambulate the country to kill off the leading Demo crats. They are both cracked shots.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.—The Tribune has abstract reports of the Commission relative to the surrender of Harper's Ferry. In relation to Col. Ford it says: En so grave a case as this, with such dis graceful consequences, the Court cannot permit an officer to shield himself ,behind the fact that he did as well as he could, if in so doing, he exhibits a lack of military capacity. It is clear to the Commission that Col. Ford should not have been placed in command of Maryland Heights; that he conducted the defense without ability, and abandoned his position without sufficient cause, and has shown throughout such a lark of military capacity as to disqualify him, in the opinion of the Commission, from a command in the service. Regarding Col. Miles, it says that as early as the fifteenth of August he- dis.o heyed the t . tiers of Major General Wool to fortify Maryland Heights. When it is surrounded, and attacked by the enemy, its naturally strong positions are unim proved, and from his criminal neglect, to use the mildest term, the large force of the enemy is almost upon an equality with the small force of his command. Immediately previous to and pending the siege of harper's Ferry, he paroles rebel prisoners, and permits, indeed sends them to the enemy's headquarters. This, too, when he should have known that the lack of ammunition, the had conduct of scine of our troops, the entire absence of fortifications, and the abandonment of Maryland Heights, were important facts they could, and undoubtedly did, commu nicate to the enemy. Sixteen of these prisoners were paroled on the 13th, and a pass given them in the handwriting of Col. Miles, while a rebel officer by the name of Rouse, after an es cape, is retaken, and subsequently has a private interview with Col. Miles, is par oled, and after the surrender appears at the head of his Jaen, among the first to enter Harper's Ferry. The Commission would not have dwell ed upon this painful subject were it not for the fact. that the officer who placed this incapable in command should share in the responsibility, and in the opinion of the Commission, Major General Wool is utiilty to this extent of a grave disaster, and should be censured for his conduct. The Commission has remarked freely on Col. Miles, an old officer, who has been killed in the service of his country, and it cannot, from any motives of delicacy, refrain from censuring those in high com mand. when it thinks such censure de served. The General-in-chief has testified that Gen. McClellan, after having received orders to repel the enemy invading the State of Maryland, marched only six miles per day on an average when pursuing . this invading enemy. The General-in-Chief also testifies that, in his opinion, General 31.14,Ctellmt..g.41 11 4,NitPih9414'' r tk`thl opinion the Commission fully concur. The evidence thus introduced confirm the Commission in the opinion that Har per's Ferry, as well as Maryland Heights, was prematurely surrendered. The gar rison should have been satisfied that re lief, however long delayed, would come at last, and that a thousand men killed in Harper's Ferry would have made a small loss had the post been saved, and probably saved two thousand at Antietam. How important was this defence we can now appreciate. Of the 97,000 men com prising at that, time the whole of Lee's army, snore thml one-third were attacking Harper's Ferry, and of this the main body were in Virginia. By reference to the evi dence it will be seen that at the very mo ment Colonel Ford abandoned Maryland Heights his little army was in reality re lieved by Gens. Franklin and Sumner's corps at Crampton's Gap, within seven miles of his position, and that after the surrender of Harper's Ferry. No time was given to parole prisoners before twenty thousand troops were hur ried from Virginia, and the entire force went off on the double quick to relieve Lee, who was being attacked at A n tietam— Had the garrison been slower to surrender or the army of the Potomac swifter to march, the enemy would have been forced to raise the siege, or would have been ta ken in detail, with the Potomac dividing his forces.
