As deeply as wo may regret the removal, and us ar dently as wu may admire the military genius, of McClellun, yet it is our duly as pttriots to acquiesce in tho action of tho Government, and to hope for hencHciut re sults from thu same. That McClellun was slow, is admitted ; that ho was cautious, prudent and safe, Is equally apparent. That 110 political considerations iiilhicnccd tho President in his action in the premises, we are well assured. Willi Street demanded more vigor, greater celerity of movements, and victories crowned witii thu fruits of success and their demand was grunted. They were willing to pay for jiilMiit, not for foldierini. Added to this, we aro of the opinion Unit Ilallcck was llio prompter in McClellan's removal.
