BY WCWRE & STONER. in ozittirg. OVAL OV GEN. itos'Ecn.ams. 'important changes have been made in the Soutii:western commands. Gens. McCodk and Crittenden, both corps commanders in the stettii of the Cumberland, were relieved immediately afar the battle of . Chickamau ga. to be tried by a court - Of inquiry. and their corps wereeonsoild.ated. It Was - alle.g- , edlhat, they had failed to maintain their po altion properly itt the centre at the late bat tle: 800 n after, the country, was stunned —with the announcement that Gen. Roseerans. Thad been removed and General Thomas ap pointed his.euccessor,: and that Gen. Grunt had, een placed in supreme command of - all the South-western departments. 'No Gene ral'in the service had won -a stronger hold " on the confidende and affections of the Na tion than Rasecrans;„ and eager inquiries are made on all hands for ~the cause of his re moval. The,newspapers have various and conflict- ing reports of the matter. The rribtiae says "the fact that Gen. tloseerans was with Gens. ifeC4'iiok and Grittxmdeu, as/cep in Chatta nooga,* while Gen„ Thomas WM fighting a - brieVe and desperate fight alone has been knoWn to - the Government for weeks., It- is also understoad that Gen. itosek-ransita; fail e,d; ever since the battle of Chickiunauga, to „echibit in his despatches a spirit equalto the circumstancesin which he found himself. it is num ascertained that Gcn. 129secrans oante very near losing his command during the siege of Vicksburg, in consequence of his refusal to assist Gen. Grant, after repeated uraorsliy the GoVerninent and request from iron. Grant himself, by attacking' Bragg, st. /114 to Rake a diversion in Grant's favor, and prevent the reinforce tnent of J uhnsto n. The -G-tivermitent. is satisfied that he was too C,au iiOus before crossing the Tennessee and too raAti 'afterwards; in the first case hesitating to obey orders to inotre, and in -the second di:4re garding orders not to move too rapidly ; Oat ; in a Word, the Chattanooga campaign was really tt. failure.” The Washington'' Gina:te of the 2nd :fiat says—"We are in receipt of astonishing intelligence in regard to the removal of Gvn. llosecrans. The whole country will e be stir red at what we shall chronicle. It is rumor ed that, three cbargc.s are made against this late copular commander. The first chargeis preferred by - Dens. Crittenden and 3.lcCeat, to the effect that Boseerans left the battle field during the crisis and Bed to Chatta nooga, and reported W.:the officers there" that the day was lost. ,;_lt It was reported that sub , • •• •- • . •• s&inently, through opium, lie became insensi ble. 'The second charge, it is rumored, is made by the Government, to the -effect that his orders were to remain at Chattanooga until .reinforcements should arrive. The thing charge, as it is rumored, is to the e ec that he declined to move from Murfreesborq, in June last, when ordered. to do- so by tlie r . Government, as- an opportunity wits oifeted ti crush Bragg, a. large portion of his„( Bragg's ) army having been withdrawn to succor J oh n tio.ll4, mho was operating 'against Grant.' The same paper also says that Gen. ltosecra:ls was before on the eve of being removed, for- ht failure to.move to the aid of Grant; and Make &diversion in his favor :by attacking Bragg, and at another time was somewhat - strongly remonstrated with for his delay in Moving front Murfreesboro. Gen. Roseerans has in many things shown himself a good of ficer, and his supercedure, we believe, has !peen very reluctantly determined upon ; but neglect of orders from his superiors will unfit the best man for military command.P' • Me Washington, correspondent of the Pittsburgh Gazette says it is rumored that Gen. Roseerans has "on one or two occasions been attached by epileptic fits in critical pe riods," but the same writer adds that "it is very well known- that Roseerans' relation =with the War Department and with the General-in-Chief have not been cordial or a long time. After the :Murfreesboro )(Attic there were serious Complaints of his dk'play ing the want Of presence of mind, and - the Gorernment found &tilt with his failure to more rapidly upon Bragg after that battle: It is als'o certain tat—his movement upon Chattanooga was &FiSured as being too slow, and it is intimated here that. his subsequent movements were regarded as having gone to the other extreme. Ilisco r rresponcienee with the General-in - -Chief, partiularly after the last-battle, was saia to be' somewhat, sharp, and to lay the blame for the disaster upon the Crovernnieut for not/properly supporting him. It seems certain/ that the removal has been under contemplation for some time, and that the President has been "gradtudly mak jag' uP as' mind to it. Prominent officiaLs have said that; when the correspondence ( -Kries to• be laid before the public, there be a general feeling of relief that Roseerans, is no longer intrusted with the responsibility of Ma late conunand, but:this was what was said after I:l6ok'er's removal, too." The : New York trening`Post takes a , more , liberal' and we think more just view , of the case. It says that'' , the removal of Rosecrans will fill ninny hearts,with sadness.• He has, during the past year, gained a high place in the esteem of our whole.people; who thought with wide of the indomitable resolution which Won the great battle of Stone River, agaiitst such fearful odds. and whb have the belief that Reserrani; is a man of pure patri otism, and a .ldier, and, not a politician. Certainly it would heti shameful thing if the '(udden removal of such an officer did not bring &rig to the public - heart. No doubt the Government is fully justified in with drawing him frond his command and the appointment of Grant and Thomas_ is unex ,ceptionable. The presumption is that suffie cleat reasons make the change necessary -Rut we shall not be guilty of the meanness of charging -the victor of Stone River with lying 'asleep within a sound . ofthe enemy's can non andsiurrounded by, flYing'army, Our Washington" correspatident writes that the health of Gen. Rosecrans has failed of late. 'We know that before he last great battle the Was quite ill, and we have beard that he bad for some months past become subject to a disabling mental disease,.which must have affected his efficiency in the field. Whether these or some other circumstances caused his removal, we are satisfied that the good of the service demanded it, and that is enough." The Pittsburg Commercial of Friday says, in a Washington despntch,,that "the stories that Rosecrans is removed for conduct in, the battle of Chickamauga, or.for physical disa bility, are bosh. There was a clashing - of -, independent commands, and necessity of their combination; and it could - not be ar ranged without giving supreme command to oneontrankifigliooker, Burnside. etc. Rose crafts would not - care to serve under Grant. His removal is no' reflection upon his Mili tary abilities or his conduct ()f the campaign:" , However newspapers and.correspondents ' differ aa to the immediate cause of the removal - of Gen. Roseerans, all seem to agree that it was a stern neglect. He is succeeded by Maj.-Gen. George H Thomas, who has es tablished a,reputation as a soldier second to none in the country. , Major-General Grant, takes command of the Department of the Cumberland, Ohio andiCentacky, but Gen. Thomas is commander in the field.', This is a most excellent arrangement. Grant and Lhomas are the real heroes of the war in the Southwest, and they will do all that can be done with the armies under' them. Gen. Thomas was born in Southampton county, Virginia, July 31st, 1816. He graduated at West Point in 1840, and has'ever since been in active service in the army. In the war with Mexico he was very distinguished, and he has done some of - l'the most brilliant service that has been recorded. in the present, war. But for him the battle of Chickamauga would have been a fatal defeat,. We look for new glory for the army of the Cumberland under his command. WASHINGTON NEWS..

' WAsiIINGToN, Oct. 27, 5:59, P. NI I have at - length gathered reliable infor mation of the cause of Rosecrans' removal. It has been fositivelY ascertained at Head quarters that he drank eighteen gallons of Bourbon whiskey per 'day, besides consuming several pounds. of Opium, -and he was gen eridlv• somewhat fuddled towards evening. Besides I have information from an unques tioned source that the battle of Stone River never was fought at all ; "that it was a mere affair of a few pickets, and that. Roseerans, was pitching pennies with his boot-black, while the firing waS going on in the front.: llro,'Was also under orders to capture John-, St&j . at Jackson, and reduce Mobile and Charleston ,by way, of relieving Grant dur ing the siege of 'Vicksburg, and he flagrantly dispteyed the order. Inthis, addition to he , ba4 ps - every seventeen minutes. and hag ,seareely time for drinks between them, It• is understood that at Chattanooga his order. 4 ,meant, that he should go forward, but if de ferited, they were tolbecoustrued differentiv; and it is now confidently alleged that lie didn't go forward when he shobld have gone, and that he did go when he' shouidia haVe gone. _Besides it is positively ascertained that Bragg attacked _without giving Rose. crans any notice whatever,, and as Rosecrans. McCook and Crittenden hadn't either their, bitters or their hoots blackened that morn ing, they went to )hattanooge, during the battle, for the purpose, and as they were there `they concluded to take a nap and for got to return. For these slight irreg,ulari 'ties Roseerans:haS• heeniemoved. The pub lic can, rely upon this statement.' .LONE~. t,trEn. .WAsHINGTON, Oct, 27-8:04 M.: I have just-had an Interview with a pr.out inent, official, , and learn positively that. all charges against Iteseerans' Moral or. military character are untrue His arduous and se vere labors have impaired him both physi. tally and mentally andifor this reason alone . be has been relieved.

A lady who spent weeks in the work at Gettysburg, remarked to us, that no one. could form may conception of the work they accomplished, unless they had witnessed their unwearied labors, of love.— When the citizens iof Gettysburg bad been three days in their' eellar's and without bread for themselves, with 20,000 wounded left there, then these men cameos angels of mer cy, as]tilmoners or the bounty of American people. and to see them go from one to the, other of these suffering heroes, writing their letters, and giving diem words of encourage ment and trying terfill a mother's and sister s ,place, and hear them tell with tears in their eyes of the bh4edness. of the work, would convince the most careless observer that these were the proper channels through Which to ,send gifts. \j -- ", We forwarded in Nay and June 7 boxes containing the following goods (including a package from the ladies of Fayetteville, eon: sisting'of 4.shirts, 7 pair of drawers, 1 pair of pillow cases and 2 quilts,) 90 pillow eases, 62 pair drawers, 75 shirts,. 14 bed sacks, 76 sheets, 127 towels, 68 handkerchiefs, 7 pair of stockings, 6 fans, 20 comforts, 15 quilts, 4 blankets, 22 wrappers, 4 pairof slippers and 14 pillows ; also from friends in town and Country a large quantity of eannechand pre served fruit, bologna sausage, 14 doz. eggs, corn starch, farina, jellies, butter, &e. - Mrs. Grier, of Philadelphia, acknowledges' our boxes in the following terms: "We IT. ceived your well filled boxes and thank your society on behalf:of those brave men, upon whom the Commission will have the pleasure of bestoWing their contents. Truly this is a noble work, and I doubt if the history of the world will produce another instance of the organization of so vast a scheme of be nevolence. The donors are counted by mil lions and the army who receives it is 700,000 s.rong. It is a great work. but it can be performed while the people—especially the women of the country—are , true to their 'mission. God grant-that s`o it may be, and that there be no abatement of patriotic fer vor or humane influence while there remains heroes among us, to be cared for living, or watched and tended in dying."

Runotoun.—On Thursday evening last Post •Master Deal received a letter that had gone through the whole routine of-red tape both in Washington and Richmond, relating to our citizens now held as prisoners in Castle' Thunder. The correspondence" opens with aletterfrOin Gen.

Mr. Ould, on did 9th, endorses the letter—t+ Re spectfully*eired to Brig. Gen. Joint H. commanding Department, &c." Gen, Winder, on the 10tb, endorses it="Re spectfully 'referred to Capt. T. B.

On the 14th Mr. Ould returned . the letter to Gen. Mere- . dith with the endorsement—" Respectfully returned to- Brig. Gen. Meredith, Agent of Exchange." On the 18th Gen. Meredith forwarded- he letter to Washington with the following ‘endarsemen"Reweetfully fdr warded to. Maj. Gen.-E. A. Hitchcock, Corn missioner4 Exchanges, Virahington, D. C." On the 22d Gen. Hitchcock mailed the letter to Post Master Deal endorsed thus—"As the letter upon which this information was called for has not been returned to the undersigned, he takes leave to enclose this paper to the Peat Master of Chambersburg, through whom it is hoped, the friends of the parties named may hear, at least, of their being in good, health, That they are not released by ,the rebels, results from the declared parposb of the rebel authorities, `)yr inflieting pressnre' upon tnion citizens, to compel our govern ment to enter into a general agreement' of such a nature as would' be equivalent to an acknowledgement of the independence of the, South." From the correspondence we learn that our citizens were "enjoying.good health and doing well" on the 12th inst., and also that they will be held until' a new cartel is' arranged for the exchange Of civil and mili tary prisoners. Gen. Meredith is laboring diligently to effect it, and, however obstinate the rebels may seem, we Flo not doubt, that it will be done in a short time. ' Brows - Hox.."Taim - As.- 8a ti one of the- Republican Members of Congress just elected in California, is a native of Franklin county, and brother of 0. E. Shannon, Esq., bf Bed ford, who was elected Prothonotary of Bed ford county at the late election on the:Cop perhead ticket. He was raised in the Welsh Run district, with but limited educational advantages, and at the age of 16 followed the course of Empire westward and settled in Illinois. He remained there until the gold, fever broke out, attracting men by thous ands to the Pacific, and he fell in with the . current and landed in California. There he soon wan for himself a commanding position, and was honored with a seat in the Assere bly-and afterwards in the Senate. As a leg islator he must have stood pre-eminent, for, although but thirty-five - years old,- he was recently nominated for Congress by accla mation, and elected by tin overwhelming majority. A correspondent who kindly fur nished us thecke facts, predicts for him still brighter honors, and hopes yet to'greet him as Governor of the Golden State, or one of its Senators: While his brother in Bedford plays Cop perhead, and withdraws his subscription from the votunteer fund lest , his standing in the Democratic party should be impaired, Thom as i s a *hole souled, unconditional Union man. • In accepting the Union nomination for Congress ho made a speech before. the Convention, m which. he eloquently said : "Your platform, it is hardly necessarY for me to say, meets with my hearty approbation. The ohly ditTiculty,l see in it is that it does not, perhaps, sound down quite deep enough on to the bed reek in relation to the great questions which are now Sibluitted to the terrible arbitrament of the sword. The antagonistic principles of right and wrong have been ciashing_and conflicting with unusual energy in our country for the last half century, 11114 the s t av e power, because it lost its hold on the govern ment, at last rebelled against freedom, and is vow waging unholy war for a groundless. causeless re bellion. The,only polities, the only party, the only cry in these times, when liberty and the rights of man are in leopardy, it when human progress is im periled, When our epublican GoVernMent seems about, to 'crumble, the only try, I say; worthy of bravo and true mon, is "Freemen to the rescue l" [Applause.] These who fail to answer that, and to, borne fairly and squarely up to that issue, may be safely regarded as enemies to Republican Govern ment, enemies to human liberty, enemies to the greatest and holiest cause ever intrusted to a migh ty nation. Slavery has been a fere:hug splinter at infamy in our body politic for three-quarters of a century, breeding virulent matter, and finally, in spite of the skill of all the political doctors, the sore has broken through the skin and is disgorging its i n famy over the land." • "t SHARP PRACTICE. —On "Friday of last week, a drafted man from 'Fulton &aunty, Solomon Plysinger by name r appeared before the Board of Enrollment and claimed exemption from service on the ground • that his fath r cr had elected him as the one oftwci sons wheart he desired to secure under the provisions ,of the law, from the .operatioru3 of the Draft, at the same time presenting a certificate of election properly sworn and subscribed be fore Justice Mellott,. a name, by no means uncommon in Fulton county. In cases wherein parents elect one of their sons,lthe law proyides that it must :be done 'befoie th,e.phr t ty is drafted.. In this ease the affidavit Was sworn to •by two witnesses, neighbors of Mr. Plysinger, on :the 28th of August, two days before the man was draft ed. Certain eircurptances arose when the case came before the Board, which led the members of it to suspect that the affidavit had been made Since the draft. The witness is Who bad, as we are told, no knowledge of the fraud that was attempted, when interro gated stated that they had sworn to it on the 13th of this month,—election day,—and'when required made asworn statement to that ef feet. The wicked old Justice, ignorant as to . what the witnesses had done, when brought before the Board, persisted' in declaring that the affidavit was made on the day it purport ed to be. His consternation and shame may be imagined when shown the sworn state 7 ment of the ivitnesses. With the evidence of his guilt patent to flit, eyes of the Board, • he bad not . orie word ,to 'say in his defense. He Was ordered to Jail, from which he was released the next day, a wiser if not a better man, It is but just to' say that wicked and un pardonable as the conduct of this old man must appear, it should be remembered that he is a simple-minded, ignorant old man, easily deluded; and we firmly believe that he 'was made the - humiliating instrument of a more wicked, becauseafar more abler man. An attorney from At'Counellsburg, known to entertain sentiments of the most coppery kind towards the government, is said to'bave provided Esquire MellOttwith theblank cer ideate, filling tip names and dates with a pencil, the traces.of which, having : been written clumsily over ,by the Justice; were still apparent - whenOefore the Board.
