' - ? . , ' I " ! - - i Late Northern Ne ws. j We are indebted o a friend fjr a' copy of the New York Herald of 24th ult, which con tains interesting, matter 'not quoted, by our exchanges. We make the following extracts - THE GOVERNMENT AND THE RELIEVED GEN - ; ' ERALS, ' If the people are not satisfied with the exer cise that the gorernment has made of its pre rogative in the removal" of frererals.' it can hardly be because they.have not" seen enough of it. Remarkable enough in other respects, the list of generals who , have been ''relieved" from positions, of which they were not in all cafses weary, has become somewhat remarkable .in respect to its size. v , . General Fremont was "relieved" very iarly - in the war, but not too eary. Though it does not appear that he was tired of the position he held. we must consider that the, word "re lieved" is a correct "one in his case, inasmuch as we onght always to assume that every posi tion must be painful to a man who is utterly and completely unfit to occupy it. Bat Fre mont's removal was less a positive act than the recantation of an error. .-No greater . char latan than this man ever lived, and, like other charlatans, he was famed to be a great genius. Upon that fame he was over hastily: given a position, which proved him to be a very cora- raon place personRge so the -President, utu-red his official peccavi, aud down went Fremput. Hstory vill excuse his existence, on account of the magnificent jolce that the Pres'rdent- was enabled to perpetrate in . his appointment to 4he "Mountain Department. ; Fremont was succeeded byHunter. ; Hunter has been relieved? twice sineq then. I He be-' lieved in the nigger: but ereu that could not tave htm. He issued proclamations, and it is probable that he drew his pay regularly : but if he ever did any more than this we nover heerd "f it. i Fro n the Army of the Potomac McDowell was first "relieved"' and we-forget how many ' times, he has been relieved since". ! He was , known in the old army by a nickname tht did not suggest the preppnderaTice of his brains. Perhaps that name was a true one; but, if General McDowell hasv the ordinary pmpo , tion of brains, he is one vt the: m?st unlucky .men that the world orr saw. General Mc Clellan has been virtually relieved twice once in the regular way, and once by" the addition of his armj to another army -with hardly a polite.reference to his existence. General Pope succeeded to the. command of that army in oue. instance, and General Barnside ii fie other. Both of these geuerals have since been reHeved 1 suffering a common fate though they were remarkable contrasts each to the other. Burn side, bold and, Urge hearted, with a kind of mental breadth of shoulders that gave great-' ness to. many of his acts, reso'ute even in his errors Popef vainglorious, boastful and empty. Fitz John Porter was relieved from ! the corri , mand of a corps in that army on very rernark ablecharges If not guilty of them he ought not to have been removed. If guilty he ought to havebeen sht. General Hooker has been relieved from the comrrland of the same army. At the battle of Chancellorsville he had some difficulty with a pest, as to the result of which authorities db not agree. Some declare that the post knocked down . General Hooker, and others maintain that-General Hooker knocked down the post; JiVe suppose the men at Wash ington had some, positi ve information or op;u- iois on this- point; so Uuanceliorsville was t Hooker's last battle. "Contraband" Butler'has been relieved, and we fancy he rather likes it' Buell", a soldier of J unquestioned ability, has suffered ! the same K i" r ii. 1 T" "process, ana nnauy. uenerai iwisecrans is ono. With much very poor timber inlthis list of the more prominent men removed, the country -and the world at large will acknowledge that there is also much military ability. Gaine', Mill, Malvern Hills, South Mountain, Anti- etan, Murfreesborp ar)d Corinth are but a few of the battles that will answer for the abilitlas of the men named in it. Yet in all these remo vals the government has gives its; reasons, has stated its case, in only one instance.' In the case of Fitz John Porter the government gave reasons elaborately," aud the country he livos to-day that Gen. Pi rter was not justly removed. - . - ' . . Hew-many pi ausitile "reasons the govern ment miht give, for many more of thess re movals we cannbt'say. Buc we know that the government itself has Hundred fearfully at every step of the way.. We know that it ly its disposition to meddle-with detail that should have been left to others. I We know that if the war had been left lo the generals in the field the rebellion would have been pounded' to i ieces a year aoo. Besides all this wo know that it is jlhe tradition of all governments that disasters must have victims8. - All coun tries require that some one should b r??ponsi bel. -Shall the-gc.vernment be responsible fr its own awful blunders ? .Th it might' do very well in. Utopia. Such a government may ex ist in the " Fortunate Isles" of Diodorus, or in the 'Atlantis of Plato ; tut we suspect that in i all those material countries that we find in the geographries, and especially in this country, no govarnment will be fjund' to bear the re sponsibility of its blunders, when it can so kmuch mora easily sacrifice a general, and need not give its reasons. J ; . - But meanwhile the people look on quietly. They form their .own opinions, and every now and then 'comes their timo to perform official acts. Let the government look weir to its own record in these matters or we shall Icsr n son.e dav before a sreat while that the people hav9 relieved the adaiinsfiation, and hare found a new conman lerin chief for the armies and navies of the United States. j THE REBEL PROJECT CP A EUBOPEAH CvJAU- i TION AGAINST THE UNITED STATES Our London csrrespondent, in anrther let ter on the printed European movement for the lHJiufit(f Jtff.

' : K"'";; . - ' ' .- Here, it will be remarked, Louis Napo'ean figures as the exclusive master of these : cere monies. But Austria and Prince Maximilian and the Mexican crosn are behind him, and the Pope and his Church, and Spain and Caba, and, lastly the inevitable Johii Bull, with his : deceitful neuirahtv. ; fi he Czar has put .bis ; foot down, and; France and England have backed out from Poland. That question may be considered se'ttlekl". Austria has been hum bugged ; Prussia aud the smaller German States are preoccupied 'with- their own internal affairs; the Continent, therefore, may be left to take careof itself for some time, while Napo leon, and Palmerston. are ' working out the it American designs. Neutrality, too, will serve the purposes of England .in this business of an active alliance betwa.ii FrenCe and Jeff. Davis better than any other course. England, un der this arrangement,' instead or endangering her' commerce, will secure the monopoly of the Carrying ' trade between the United Stat' s and Europe" arid in the eve n't -of. a Southern con federacy will d jubtless be an equal participant in its concessions of free trade to Napoleon.
