But a Union citizen of the South, who left Atlanta, Ga,, on Fept. 4, 1883, and came through Richmond, and into our tines to avoid con: scription, brings the intelligence that three divisions of Leo's arthy—one cach from Longstreet’s, Hill’s and Ewell’s corps—navo been ordered to Dalton, Georgia, to reinforce Jobnston and Bragg. It is the boast of the rebels that they can crush out the armies of Rosecrans and Burnside by hurling against them a force of two hundred thousand men, and they appear perfectly confident of tueir ability & accompliah this.

The practical removalqof Saggeon General Hammond from his position is a fair sample of the despotic power now being usurped over the army by Mr. Secretary Stanton, Without charges preferred, without a court of inquiry, without acourt martial, this bigh officer is sud- deoly stricken out of existence at the mere whim of a prejudiced civilian, who knows as little of surgery as of soldiersbip. ‘The writer bas never had the pleasure of General Ham- mond’s acquaintance; is no particuar admirer of his course; owes no obligations of any kind to his official functions; stands perfectly indifferent, so far aa tho man is concerned, to the question of his removal; but against the assumption by Mr. Stantou of absolute power to remove any head of a military department, or dismiss any officer he pleases, the writer, on behalf of the community, does most earnestly protest.

And now to give the history of these two aspects of Secretary Stanton’s motives for the removal of the Sur- gern General — Stanton's quarrel with the Sanitary Commission dates back to the passage of the bill for the appointment of Cight medical inspectors (since increased to twelve), with the rank of liewienant colonel, This bill was sug- peated nod devised by the Sanitary Commission as are nuit of their experience as to the actoal wants of thearmics iw the field. Its authors were in favor of having all the appointees selected ‘rom the ablest and most experienced } surgeons in the regular army. Senator Wilson opposed this. He wanted to have « piace for Dr. Lyman, of Massa- chusetts, Secretary Stanton opposed it. He wanted « piace for Dr. Lacomte, of Philadelphia, \ Very well,”’ said the originators of the bill, “suppose you say that five of the new appolnters shall be from the regular army, | and that three shail be selected (rom otvil life, or from | the volunteers.

It was Duried ta the pocket, and thresteved to remain there. ‘The pocket was overhung by tne stomach, and the stom- ach by the fowing beard of tac Booretary of War. Con- ress had eoucted that medical inspectors should be ap- poluted by the President, ‘on the recoramendation of thé Secretary of War,’ but Stanton woeld make mo recom- ‘moodations. ‘This abstinence om the pert of one who ts usually eo fond of oxorcising the power of patronage in favor of bis friends aroused the suspicion of the Banitary Gommission- Or,and very litthe inquiry was gecessary to prove to them that Mr. Secretary Geanton was then trading in both Senate and House for the passage of pet echemes and fa- vorite meanures, bis sole capital, beyond facial brass, being the medical tnspectorships created and yot to be Milled, For the votes of such aod such @ Eenatortal or re Presentative taterest on such aud such a measure, he would nominate (@ the President and cause to be ap Pointed any modical man that eald ‘‘interest’’ might re- Commend. The medical lieutenant colonelcies thus be- camo an engine of political corruption, and weeks were allowed to pass, while our soldiers were pining for the relief comemplated in the bill, without any appointments by the Secretary of the only officers endowed with the powers necessary to remody then existing medical abuses. At last the Sanitary Commission Inid the facta before the President, who inatantly ordered a search to be made of Stanton’s right breeches pocket. wherein the bill was at length found, badly worn at the corners and much the worse for its receptacle. Mr. Lincoln directed that the appointments should immediately be made, and the Sec- retary bad nothing for it but to comply—only taking care in doing 80, to omit, 80 far as bo could, every name that he knew the Sanitary Commission to have confidence in and any respect for—in spite of which, never- theless, Surgoons Vollum, Cuyler and Coolidge, army surgeons, were included in the appointess— men thoroughly agreeable to the Sanitary Commission as offloers of eminent acquirements and stainless devotion 00 the best interests of the service. Of the appointees who were not agreesble to the Commission, it can ooly be ne- cessary to mention the name of Medical Inspector Stipp, whose manifold irregularities have since caused much {rouble to the Department. ‘This was tbe origin of that bitter and relentless hostili- ty with which Mr. Stanton has ever since pursued the Banitary Commission, further aggravated ef late by his discovery that many prominent members of the Commis. sion, thrown largely in contact with President Lincoln, ‘and appreciating bis character at its true worth, have ‘Deon laboriog zealously in their private stations and by means of the diffusion of: Loyal League Clubs, pamphlets, newspapers, &c., to burture and disseminate a public sea- timent which would rebuke the machinations of mere politicians, and continue to the country for avother term of four years tho benefits of Mr. Lincoln’s honest rule. On the discovery of this fact, the rage of Secretary ‘Stanton overleaped all bounds; and against tho Surgeon General—who bad in the Sanitary Commission a true friend, as they io him, and who’sbared the Commission's” viows with regard tothe impolicy of ‘swapping our Prest- dential horse while swimming the stream of this rebel- lion”’—the Secretary of War did most furiously rage, “Off with ois head’’ was Mr. Stanton’s order to his chief clerk, Mr. Potts; and quickly, though not without some compunctioas, did Mr. Potts draft the order which ap- pointed Governor Reeder ait in judgment upon his ancient enemy, and that other order which consigned Goneral Hammond to service in a far Southern clime, while Governor Reeder and his associates of the Medical “Star Chamber’’ are preparing their exparte statements againet bim and bis. It is well known that Mr, Lincoln, in case Secretary Stanton’s resolve tg remove the Surgeon General should prove irrevocable, was fp tavor of having Assistant Sor- goon Genera!gt.C, Wood promoted to the vacancy, but the Secretary would give no heed to the President's de. sire, Wood is cue of the vory best surgeons we have, and enjoyed ten years’ experionce in the Surgeon General's office, when Dr. Lawson was Surgeon General, being his first assistant. Surgeon General Finiay, Lawson's suc- cessor, fell under Stanton’s condemnation for having re- ferred to ap army Surgeon a communication affecting his integrity, which bad been referred to Finlay by the So. cretary of War for investigation. The complainants in the case were friends of Mr. Stanton, who resented Fin ‘ay’s action in sending the complaint for report to the offi. cer affected thereby, who was thus enabled to give a com- plete refutation to the charges. The ‘Star Chamber’ mode of proceeding is in favor with Stanton, and to bave secured his favor Finlay should have aqcepted the exparte statements without inquiry, and caused the officer to bo stricken from the rolis of the army. For having pursued the course dictated alike by juatice, howor and the cour- testes of the army, Finlay was suddenly found to bavo grown old, and was immediately placed on the retired list by Stanton’s order.
