General McClellan took a finalleaye ea Sunday evening of the gallant Army of the Potomao, which he had done so much to organize, which had shared with him 60 many perils, and bad in- vested him with so.much of iis contidence and esteem. In company with ,General Burnside he visited several army corps in suecossion, aad as bo rode along the shattered eolors of the differ- ent regiments, bearing upon their face the evidence of many hard fought battles, were lowered in the applause of the men spoke fully their love for salute, while continuous the young General who was paying them his | parting visit. In the evening the officers ytached to General McClellan's headquarters all aasembled in bis tent to say farewell. How impressive the scone Was may be imagined. given on the occasion, and that was by the Gene- rai himself, It was simply “The Army of the Potomac,’’—the sentiment, doubtless, nearest to *js heart. General Burnside issued an addiess to the fmy on assuming command, which le accepts fh diffidence on his own part, but with retinnee sion to his, » the patriotism of the troops. In all predecessor he says:—“ Having been a sharer of \be privations and a witness of the bravery of the * old Army of the Potomac in the Maryland cum paign, and fally identified with them in their feel- ing of respect and esteem for General McC a, entertained through 4 long und moss friendly « <iation with him, 1 feel that it is not as a stranger J as#ume command." Major General Halleck has issued an order that All officers, of whatever grade, belonging to the Army of the Potomac, shall proveed to join their | cespective commands within twenty-four hours. ‘The penalty for disobedience of this order will be | diomissal from service. General Sumner, with his old corps, visited the vicinity of Warrenton on Saturday, «nd found the rebels still hovering arof™d theve, picking ap all the supplies that were left. It is said that the comumanication by railroad between Warrenton sod Harper's Ferry is Interrupted, as several sut- Jers who have depots at the latter place, and who were on their way there with goods for their different regiments, have been captared by the rebels, together with wil their teams aud property. General Wadsworth, it is said, is to receive an dmuporiant command in the army. General Hooker takes command of Geueral Fite John Porter's | corps, the latter officer being ordered to Washing- ton to answer charges preéerred agaiust him by General Pope.

Buenos Ayres politicians were still agitated on the question of the location of the capital. Great attention was being paid to the cultivation ef cotton in the province of Corrientes. President Lopez, of Para- guay, was also anxious to extend the cultivation of the staple in that republic, havmg on his own estate five millions of cotton plants at present.

A Now Way to Get Rid of the Conserva- tives. ‘There are generally several ways of accom- Plishing the samo object. The abolition radicals having determined that they must rid them- selves of the troublesome conservatives, who are all the time talking about restoring the Union and maintaining the constitution, and who wit! not bow down and worship the inevitable negro that the abolitionists have set up, have found themselves rather puzzled as to the modus operandi of the affair. One plan after another hus been suggested by theoretical and theological radicals; but all have failed, and the conservatives have multiplied and increased most annoyingly and unaccountably. But where there’s # will there’s a way, says the old proverb, and the radicals, having the will very strongly, have at last fortunately hit upon the way. Brother Beecher, we remember, cecommend- ed the radicals to treat the constitution asa piece of useless parchment, and to get rid of the conservatives, Wendell Phillips went fur- ther, and advised tearing the constitution to tatters. Garrison indulged in profanity, urged that the constitution was a mixture of death and hell, and burned a copy it every year in Massachusetts, Greeley, more hypecritical, ministration and the War, As the Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy of the United States, it is the constitution” al right of the President to make or unmako, displace or promote the officers of either branch of the public service at his discretion. He has only exercised this right in the removal of Gen. McClellan frem the command. of the Army of the Potomac, and yet, under all the circum- stances of the case, it is a proceeding well cal- culated to excite the public anxiety, if not some apprehensions, of impending danger. Granted that General McClellan has been extremely cautious in his movements, he has still been regarded as perfeotly safe. That abso- lute confidence of his army, so essential to great achievements, which he acquired in the terrible campaign of the Richmond peninsula he retained undiminished to the hour of his re- call. Nor bas s doubt been entertained in the publio mind since the battle of Antietam of the complete success of his movements in pursuit of the great rebel army of Virginia. Under this feeling of security, and when McCiellan’s headquarters had been advanced to a point on the eastern flank of the Blue Ridge almost within a day’s march of the headquarters of the rebel army, it is in no way eurprising that his removal bas created a pro- found sensation througbout the land, not unmin- | gled with fears of the consequences, Gegorat Burnside, who, by seniority in rank, has been promoted to McClellan’s late command, has shown himeelf, in’ every position in which be has been tried, a courageous, energetic and | able officer. His operations in North Carolina, emblazoned with the victories of Roanoke Island, Newbern and Fort Macon, have proved that his qualifications to condnot the iayasien of | a difficult, hostile couniry are of a bigh order | But the inquiry is naturally suggested: Hast | officer who has been even eminently successful | | al the bead of an independent army of housand men proved thereby his capacity sucoessiully to handie an army of ona hyndreid and filly or two hundred (housand men, and against the ablest, must experienced and most st ful rebel generals, and on the very | ground of their greatest achievements?

The country, after this removal of General McClellan as an impediment to the vigorous prosecution of the war, will also expect the removal of some other obstructions, civil and military, which stand in the way. The promotion of General Burnside may prove to be a step in the right direction.

None of these plans worked well, however. The more the radicals attacked the constitution the more conservatives they saw springing up to support it. Then Cassius Marcellus Clay came along, and deolared, in his usual courageous style, that he was for getting rid of the oon- servatives by hanging them. Greeley, who is always insanely attempting to reform every- thing snd improve upon every idea of wiser” men than he, wanted the guillotine substituted for the gallows. Neither the guillotine nor the gallows wa@ald answer, however; and then that little villain Raymond suggested Fort Lafay- ette. Then came the elections, and the result proved that there were more conservatives than Fort Lafayette and all the other forts in the country could bold. Every plan seemed ex- hausted, therefore, and the radicals were al- most in despair, when Count Adonis Gurowski, the great Russian nobleman, appeared in tri- wpph and chivalrously offered to shoot every conservative that Greeley would spit upoa, This brilliant ides would undoubtedly have been adopted, bat Greeley’s courage and saliva unfortunately failed bim, and Gurowaki was pursued by constables flourishing unpaid hotel bills. How to get rid of the conservatives was, consequently, still an unsolved problem, and puvzied the radicala mightily. But, as we bave before remarked, there are more ways than one bit upon at laat. Secretwry Mephistopheles Chase is doubtless the outhor of the plan upon which the radicals have finally decided. None but @ man like him, who had acuiralized the bost efforts of the beat army the world ever saw, and who had inances of the richest country on earth, conld ever bave conceived so magnificent & programine. vid of the conservatives?” said Mephistopheles Chase, in lis usual gonial, | way; “why, it’s as oasy as getting | McDowell a command er depreciating govern lety per cent.

Work and wait « litle longer’ nisives’ ASD Pisce ON THK Samk TacK.— In the numerous and’ powerlul speeches which Mr. Jobn Van Buren delivered in this | city and throughout the State on the eve of the | late election he took the ground that the proper mode of putting an end tu the war was for the | federal army to drive the rebele out of Vir- | ginia, take pusseseion of the Confederate capi- tal, and there declare an armistice peading the | pacific seitioment of our uational difticulties. He paid no attention whatever to the J'resi- | dent's proclimativa declaring that slavery would be abolished in such States or parts ef States as should be in in- surrection against the government on the 1st of January, 1865, and did uot discuss the bearing or policy of that document, Sinee the astounding victory of his “party last week Mr, Van Buren has had time to digest the Presi- dent's proclamation, aud, strange to say, he far as the spirit of that paper is concerned. He interprets it to mean just what he bimeel! was in favor of--the vigorous prosecution of the war until the rebel armies are driven out of Virginia and the federal authority established at Richmond. Then the citizens of that State and of the other Southern States, who will by that time be, if they are not now, thoronghly sick of the contest, are to be invited to send repreneétatives to | ess; and the compliance with that simple duty will obviate all necessity for at- tempting to execute any of the confiscation acts or to give effect to the President's proclama- tion, Mr. Van Buren coincides with that view, and thinks that the recent change ot geverals indicates a determination ou the part of the President to bring about just that state of facts. Once in possession of Richmond, the sequel will be simple enough. There will be @ cessa- tion of hostilities; the rebel States will be en- to renew tueir loyalty to the federal government, and thereby to secure their pro- perty and the institutions to which they are de- | voted. In case of their still refusing to do so, | or of obstacles to n thorough reconciliation would advise the President to go on until, in for ita neglect.

These views he commu- nicated in @ speech delivered last evening at a democratic glorification meeting; and we refer to the report of it in another part of to-day’s Heratp as a curious proof of how the Prince and the President harmonize in their views. Conve on Commenciat Brockaves.—Mr Cobden has opened a flank fire on the advo- cates of Southern recognition in England by his revival of the question of the abolition of commercial blockades, Nothing places in more striking contrast the large views and liberal spirit of American statesmen and the narrow mindedness and selfishuess of the ruling lasses in England than the history of this ques- tion. It shows the operatives of Lancashire and the working classes generally throughout Great Britain that their present distress is owing, not to any fault of the North, but to the old fogy notions and prejudices of their own statesmen, who, when they could have put an end to the system by which Europe is now de- prived of its supplies of cotton, declined to do it lest it should in some way militate against the imaginary interests of England. With sensible and practical people like the English this is the ouly true way to combat the mis- representations and sophistries by which the intervention delusion is kept ative. Tas Harrkr’s Ferry Ixvesrigarion.—The report agreed to by the commission appolat- ed to investigate the facts of the surrender of Harper's Ferry is, it must be admitied, a com- prehensive one. It takes a sweeping view of the whole fleld of military operations in that neighborhood, and drags in every officer who could, by the remotest implication, be brought within the range of its censure. We have carefully perused the evidence, and are com- pelled to say that the only two of its findings that are borne out by it are that Colonel Tom Ford is @ nincompoop, and that Colonel Miles should never have been appointed to the com- mand of Harper's Ferry—conclusions to which the Hrrato assisted the public long previously, Tf this is to be the general result of these mili- tary commissions, the lesa time that is coasum- ed upon them the better.
