Holmes to assume the command on <em>this<\/em> side the Mississippi. Perhaps Mr. Randolph has resolved to be really Secretary. This is the first thing I have ever known him to do without previously obtaining the President\u2019s sanction\u2014and it must be confessed, it was a matter of some gravity and importance. Of course it will be countermanded. I have not been in the Secretary\u2019s office yet, to see if there is an envelope on his table directed to the President marked &#8220;<em>Immediate<\/em>.\u201d But he has not been to see the President\u2014and that may be significant, as this is the usual day.<\/p>\n<p>A gentleman, arrived to-day from Maryland, reports that Gen. McClellan has been removed, and the command given to Burnside! He says, moreover, that this change has given umbrage to the army. This may be our deliverance; for if McClellan had been let alone two weeks longer (provided he ascertained our present condition), he might have captured Richmond, which would be holding all Eastern and much of Central Virginia. This blunder seems providential.<\/p>\n<p>We learn, also, that the Democracy have carried Illinois, Mr. Lincoln\u2019s own State, by a very large majority. This is hailed with gladness by our people; and if there should be a &#8220;rebellion in the North,\u201d as the <em>Tribune<\/em> predicts, this intervention of the Democrats will be regarded altogether in our favor. Let them put down the radical Abolitionists, and then, no doubt, they will recover some of our trade. It will mortify the Republicans, hereafter, when the smoke clears away, to learn that Gen. Butler was trading supplies for our army during this November, 1862\u2014and it will surprise our secessionists to learn that our government is trading him cotton!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOVEMBER 13th.\u2014The President has rebuked the Secretary of War in round terms for ordering Gen.
