GEN: Couctt has been relieved as commander of the Department of the Sus quehanna by order of Lieut. Gob. Grant, and assigned -to duty in the field * with . Gen. Thomas in the Department of the Cumborland. .Gen. Conch was called to this command. in June, when the athiffice of the army of Lee had.already invaded the State, and when military abilities of the highest order were required for the protection of the Commonwealth, 'old in co-operation with the heroic Army of the Potomac in its almost superhuman struggle to hurl from the tree soil of the North the;:polluting tread of the invader. Before lie had so much as ii regiment of men to command; the 'enemy held Chain bersburg, the location assigned as his head quarters, and he had to improvise an army to save the State from the humiliation of the .capture of its Capital. With tireless energy did Gen. Couch and Gov. Curtin meet the. impending peril. and when Lee was brought to, bay in his retreat by the surging Potomac, the raw levies of Gen. Couch were on his flanks. Since then the position of the commander of the Depart ment of the Susquehanna has been ime of ceaseless toil and anxious care. With a border ever exposed to incursions. and but too often without' adequate force to give assurance of safety, he has e shaved our perils, and most intimately identified himself with ourconnnon interests. Called here a stranger to our peopre.die has had to deal with our internal disorders and maintain the supremacy of the laws under circumstances demanding the highest measure of Prudence and administrative .ability, and he retires enjoying the respect of all elMi4s ffit.: — the inflexible integiity. -uniform courtesy, and general tianquility which have marked the discharge of-his responsible official duties. Especially will the, people Chambersbarg, with wlunn he has been in daily intercourse since his assignment to this counnand. cherish in grateful remembrance his most bairn:au identity with them as a soldier and friend -He leaves them as widely regretted as he is personally or officially known. and ,veil bear with him from tlieir midst many anti earnest aspirations for his future success Gen. Conch fitly retires from a commam now tranquil and comparatively free fron - peril, to give his well tested qualities as: . field officer to the country at the point 0 • greatest danger.

Tho vote of the North-West is the strongest gn'aranty yet proffered of the perpetuity of• the Cairn. The alienation of the North-West has been plotted and sought for years: To this end uncounted lodges of "Knights of the Golden Cir ele,” "Sons 91 - Liberty," &c., have beeen organ ized. To this end, New-England has been per sistently definned and r& - iled by the basest of her renegade sons. To this end, constant stimulus has been given to Western jealousy and hate of the East. The Puritavisal and fanaticism of New- England have been rculpa'thd as plunging the country into a gigantic. civil w ar for the benefit of her cottonaMllsas if cotton-mills luxuriated in the dearth and dearness of Cotton—and now the Great \Vest re-ponds by larger, more decisive m..jorities for the War, a heartier support to the° Administration, than are given in the East. And the rattle of riven fetters in Maryland is more than paralleled by the - crash of the prison-house in Missouri. r;ii let us rest in the confident assurance-that the Union will endure forever, under the guar• dianAip and protection ofthe Greatbecave Free North-West ! AN EICA - OF GOOD FEELING The National Intelligencer, after having'mada• a rigoious battle for M'Clellun, quotes Mr. Lin coln's late speech to the Union State Central' Committee of Maryland, and appends the follow; thg- remark -1 •"I'lle most embittered opponent of the Presi— dent will not deny that such expressions do honor to his heart; and they should go tar to disarm po litical defeat of its sting in the breast of the van— oni‘lied.

I believe that perfect harmony can soon be restored, net holy throughout the Free Stutes, but throughout all the Liqu. ` * It would nut be the fault ot the AdmiuMnation if they did nut establish an era of good feeling. The re-clectioh of the President has placed him beyond the pale ot Infanta envy or detraction, as he was abuv,e hu man ambition, Aba all would soniatiarn to see him, as the , peaker and the audience• had seen him, a t rue-pft t ri, it, benevolent and 10y:1T:honest and faith ful.

The issues of the times are too momentous and farreaching to admit of such narrow-inhaled views in the one' dheetion or io the' other.
