B, MCLELLAN, Major General THE LATEST DESPATCHES. THE EXCITEMENT IN THE ARMY. Bsapovanrnrs, Aumy ov tHe Potomac, Wanargwton, Nov. 9, 1862, ‘The removal of Genera! McClellan from the command of the army has occasioned the wildest excitement. Officers and men Unite in denouncing the order as an outrage upon the army, and while they express no objection to General Burnside as an officer, they protest against the measure most osrnestly. Many have prepared their resignations, and distinguished officers of rank assert that they will no longer serve in the army if the order be not reseinded. General Mc(‘lelian received the announcement of bis removal with perfect equanimity. He bs not been heard to utter a word of complaint, nor has be made any allu, sion to the subject tn the presence of his staff, other than to mention the surprise occasioned by the reception of the despatch. It was equally unexpected by General Burnside, who at first povitively declined to accept the position General McClellan leaves the field for Washington to- morrew, accompanied by his personal aides-ce.camp, that portion of his staff connected with the vurious de- partments of the army remaining. General Burnside, of course, assumes command imme- diately. INTENSE EXCITEMENT IN WASHINGTON. Wasinaton, Nov. 9, 1862. The removal of General McClellan has produced the most intense excitement in this city. It is almost the sole to.ic of conversation everywhere, The radicals agsert that this removal is based upon a report made by Gevoral Haileck representing that Geu- era) McClellan bes persisted in disobeying orders and misrepresenting the condition of his army in regard to supplies of elothing and subsistence. The frien’s of Gén- oral McClellan declare that his removal was agrved upen before the receut elections, and is a part of ue pro- gramme of the radicale to vbtain tho coutrol of the armies im the ‘eld, It ie unfortunate for the administration thet this re- moval bas been made at this time without promulga ton to the country of euflcient reasens for it. It is asserved that upon every occasion when Geveral MoClellan was upyn the eve of a decisive batile—one which would ton great extent settie the whole question now in issue between the government and the revels—he has been prevented from striking the blow by the inter- ference of the goverament. Ta thi instance he was cer- tainly pusbing forward with unwonted rapidity, and ac. tonily astonishing the couniry by the prompiness of the movements of bis army and colority of its progresa, It ie beteved that a general aud devisive engagement must occur very soon, and may take place at any moment and tho remevei of the Genoral in command under these Circumstances, without any apparent reavon therefor, ox. copt political mancavres, kas arcused ® feeling in the community which ts po. ten‘tons.

Bon. FE.

No such roquisitions bave Deen to my knowledge made upon the Secretary of War, and none upon the Geveral-in-Caref, Second—On several cecasions Geveral McClellan bas telegraphed te mo that his army was deiictent in ecrtain supplies. All these telegrams were immediately referred to the beads of bureaus, with orders to report. Jt was ascertained that io every tustance the requiai- tions bad been immediately Dilei, except ene where the Q artermaster General had been obliged to send from Philavelpbia certain articice of clothing, iouls, &c., not having a full suppiy here There has Bvt been go far as 1 could ascertain, any negieet or delsy in any department or bureau, in tesuing all supplies ask-d for by Cengral Me (le\ian or by the officers of his staff. Delays have occa- Stonally occurred in forwardisg supplies by rail,on ac- eount of the crowded condition of tt vole or of a want of ears; but, whenever notified of the a.erts bave boon @eut outto remove the diMfioulty. Under the excetieut @uperintendeses cof General Haupi, I thiak (hese delays Rave decu frequent and of shorter duration thao is usual with frexht trains, An army of the sizo of that under Gon. McClellan will frequently be for some dsya without the supplies asked fur, on account of negient in making timely requisitions, and unavotdabio @elays in forwarding them wend in distributing thom to the diferent brigades and regiments. From all the foformation [ can obtain, I am of epinion that the requis! fons from that army bavo beon filed more prompily, ead that the meo,as ® genural rule, bave been better supplied than our armios operating in the Wet. The letter have operated at much greater Metancee from the sources of supply, aud havo bad far lees facilities of travaportation, In One,] believe that no wrtniee im the world, while ta campaign, baye been more prowptiy or better supplied than ours, Third—towm afer the baitle of Antietam General MoCleiino was urged to give me information of bis Intended movements, in order thit, if he moved ve- tween the enemy and Weahiagton, felvforcemants could be gout from this place, On the Let of October, Anding that be purpered to operate from Harper's Berry, 1 orged Bim t cross @he river at once and give battle to the enemy, pointing out to his the dis advontages of dedayisy (dll the autuiao rains had serodlon @ho Potomac and tmpaired tho roads, Om the Oih of October he was peremptortly ordered #0 ‘cross the Po- domac pnd give battle to the suemy, er rive him south. Your. awoy must move now while the sone are good.'* Te will be observod that three woeks have elapsed since ‘Chis order #28 given. Fourth-Ia my opiaton there hag been no anch want of sappiies in the army undor General MoCicllan as to pre. vent Lis eotapliagve with the orders to aivanos against the onemy. Had he movod to the south sida of the Po- foman he could have received his supplice almost aa veadily oe by remaining inactive on the orth, Fifi On the Teh of Oetober, the Cologram in regard to hie intended tovernants, General MeClollen stated that it would require at leest threo day's te supply the Firet, Fito and Bixth corps, thas Sey weeded ehoos sanchion of either Mr. Sowird/or Mr, Blair, sod that it has inauguraied a contlict between the conservative and Fadicul portions of the Cabinet which must terminate im the withdrawal or expulsion of one or the other party. ‘This resnit is anx!ousty looked for, and the expectation of gronter eventa is perhaps all that serves at present to present some oven expression of popular dissatisfaction, The recent despatch hence to the Tribune, that al Ge aerai McClellan's communications wero to the President, and not to the Secretary of War and ta Gen, Malicck, was not munch cretited, becanse It was known that before Ge neral MeClotlan left here for the cata»\goin Maryland General Halleck had a protragted interview with bim at the house of the former, and that Bir, Stauton, after like conference, ex;reased so much plessuro that ho ins vited General MeMlollan to his own mansion, So, alsa, Senator Wilson visited General Mer ellav twiee tm one evening, and said thst he was willing te agreo toanything to save the country. It seems, bowewer, that tho ‘supposed entente cordials between tho géberals has really been distuy bed; and, therefore, some pererns think that, such being the care, succeseful military operations by Gen, McClellan could hardly he anticipated. It Is snggested that the President has acted ip this view. Though Colonel Vorney’s offieial organ bere has lately thrown out the } (dea that the senson fs too far gone for effective land movements against Richmond, it states to-day that new energy 1s to be infused into the Army of the Potomac, which means, it is Delloved, that Genoral Hooker is to tuke command. At the same time it spenks of tho seizure of the gaps of the Blue Ridge, by the masterly movement ef McClel lan towards Gordonsville, a8 impértant strategic points, Colovel Forney’s organ in ite sseue of to-day im- peaches the faithfulness of General MvClelian by an in- nuendo. Heace it is concluded that he ts to be court mar_ tialled, as well as other generals that have beeu indicated by the radical organs. If such is to be the case, then other major generals must be aelected to serve in the Army of the Potomac; and hence the understanding that Gencral Hunter’s departure for the fouth is to be tempo- rarily suspended. It may be that General McDowell is also to be assigned to the command of a corp d’armee, as General Hooker bad @ very long conference with Secretary Chase to-day. Waemrnaton, Nov, 9, 1862. The first imformation the public received of the relief of General McClellan from the command of the Army of the Potomac was through the telegram publishea this‘morn: ing. It affords a general theme of conversation and com- ment, and excites surprise, the event occurring unex pectedly. The cause ef the Executive action in the premises dova Rot appear to be known outside of official circles, and beuce the absence of facts gives rise to conflicting speculations. General McClellan, it is said, passed through Washington to-day on his way to Trenton, The friends of General Hooker say he haa sufficiently recovered from bis wound to resumo his duties in the field, REJOICINGS IN PROVIDENCE, Provirmyce, R. 1°, Nov, 9, 1862.

Among-the rumors as to the canso, it is said that some instructions from the General-tn-Chicf were not followed, and that the escape of Lee followed as ‘ copsequence. Forney’s Press, in speaking of the removal, eays:— ‘Tt was purely a military act, and was the result of a military consultation and decision, although recom ed to the President and approved by bim some time ago, it was only finally resolved upon after a change became in- evitable.

The corps did not receive ordera to march yesterday until twelve o'clock noon. At that hour our entire forcer minus cur superfluous trains, was en route from Union, After a very pleasant march of throe or four hours’ dura. tion, tho column was halted for tho night about a mile and @ half from Upperville, a small town «bout seven miles distant from Ashby’s Gap. On our arrival at the point at which we aro now en- camped, we meta division woing in the opposite direction, onthe samo road we were travelling. On Inquiry, ! jearoed that they were muorching for Rectortown, This town, you will observe by reference to the map, is the second station from Manassas Gap,on the Auo of the raiiread of that name. ‘biz road is already our base of supplies, the Berlin route being now totally ignored, Ashby’s Gap is said to be in undisputed Possession of our turces, aud theret.re you will Uudoubtediy remark from your staudpoint a gradual movement of our troops downward towards Manassas Gap und Gordonsville, grasping the railroad ax they go. ‘The main body ot’ the rebei ary i reported t» bo massed ju the vicinity of Krent Royal, to the rear of Ma nassas Gap, The object is doubles to bring on an en gigement lor the possersion of the latter port.

We are now but nine miles from the line of th: rail- road, aud could reach it by a very exy march. Whether We wil dosoor not depends, of conive, entirely ou the movements of thy evemy aud the counter plans of our generals. Our White Plains Correspondence. Near Witte Pains, Va., Nov. 7, 1962.

At an early bour yesterday we left our biveuag, and, marching ever tho most miserable Virginia roads finally reached this town, which, as you know, is situnted on the Manassas Gap Railroad, at the distance of about thirty titles from the gap. Distantcannopading was heard tast evening, eprarently in the direction of Front Royal; but ft was very faint and of short duration, Om our march yesterday nothing of especial interest occurred, Everything went ol’ smuothly the men marched well and very little stragy!ing wa’ ob served, Fence rais and ,oultry sofered as usual—» de to the cuntrary notwithstanding.
