The London szes says it is the first cdect ofthe election on Mr. Lincoln.â€"â€" McClellan is sacrificed to politicalyealousies of the party in power, being known to be a Conservative, and OppOSed to-tbe violent acts of the Executive. The Tinies questions the success of the movement, as it makes McClellan a Conservative martyr; The Army and Navy Gazette regards the removal as the defiance of the Govern ment to the Democrats. and the humiliation at Mr. Lincoln. No moment, it says, has been more favourable for bold Confederate movements. It questions Burnside’s ability for the appointment.

The report states that such reinforcements could not be seui without leaving Washington and Baltimoie almost defenceless, and an order for the withdrawal of the army of the Potomac was issued Aug. 3.. A previous order haying been given for the removal of the sick and transports in vast numbers, but a protest was received from Gen. McClel- lan on the 5th, and that the order was not put in force for eleven days, on the 15th. On the 1st orders were issued to Gen.

Porter, to be at Bristow Station next morning,he says for some un explained reason Gen. Porter did not comply with this order, and his corps was not in the battle of the 28th and 29th. in which Gen.

The repOit states that the army rested on the north bank of the Potomac, near Sharpsburg from the 17th of September to the 26th of October, and says that the long inactivity of so large an army in the face ofa defeated foe and during the must favorable season for ra- pid marches and a vigorous campaign. was a matter of great disappomtment and re» gret. Gen. Halleck states that he tele- granhed to Gen. McClellan on October 6th to cross the river. Gen. McCllellan ili-apprOVed tlio plan of crossing; south of Harper’s Ferry and move on Winchester, lout did not cross until October 26th and then at Berlin, the passage occupyin,r till November 3rd.
