Reasons for Removing Rosencranj.
A telegram from Washington gives fie
Government reasons for the removal, amoi'g
which it will be seen is the mortifying cie
of cowardice in the presence of the enehy.
It says:
/I he removal of Rosencrants is the sis>-
ject of much and contradictory comment.
The more correct understanding of tie
causes that led to it charges wtre
preferred against him by tieuerals McCo&
and Crittenden, of unofficer llfie conduit
on the battle-field,of a panic-stffeken digit
trom the field to Ohattauooga, while tie
battle was in its crisis, and of-flis unsoldierly
and mischievous conduct in publicly ib
pwrtiug, on reaching Chattanooga, tb bojh
officers and men that the day was lost.
Superudded to this is alleged Governmen
tal resentment of his disobedience of posi
tive orders not to risk a general -
incut by advancing beyond Chattanooga be
fore he was reinforced; also, its impa
tience of his disposition and handling his
troops ou the field.
, reputation for courage that he won
at Stone river is placed in bar tokthe im
putation ot cowardice in his abandonment
of the and his friends at
tribute U to a mistaken impression that
liis army had been wholly whipped, anil
was wholly on the retreat. The replica
tion to this is that such a mistake is a
complete disqualification for comoia.net.
The statement acquiring growth that he
t had an attack of epilepsy during the bat
■ tie, and that he was subject to that disease,
lis untrue ; but that he was coustitutional-
F ly and by education subject to fits of reli
gious depression of thp profoundcst char
acter is correct, as is well known. In con
nection with this it may not be unsuitable
to add that it is understood that the fourth
l specification of the preferred charge is au
b unsuccessful use of opium.
The relatious between Generals lloscn
crants and the Geueral-in-Ghief, Ilalleck,
have been bad. A sharp correspondence
took place between them and after the bat
tle of Chattanooga, and before that the
Government had found fault with his mil
itary conduct on several oceasiions, and
that he had retorted by charges of neg
lect by the Government and want of sup-,
port.
His removal has been iu contemplation
for some time.

Meridian, Nov. 19. —A special dis
patch ,to the Clarion irom summit, dated
1 19th, says that a gentleman from New ()r
--' loans reports that Dana’s expedition to
r Matagorda Ray was wrecked aud thatsev-
Keu transports were driveu ashore and cap- .
Phired, with all on board. iGen. Ranks,
■who accompanied the expedition, has not
’ yet becu heard from. *
Atlanta, Nov. 19.—Advices from the
front report that LongstrCet was on Mon
day 10 miles from Knoxville, and advanc
ing. A good many of his wounded are
reaching our lines. A conflict between the
pickets for the possession of some wood
piles, half way betweeu Chattanooga and
our lines, nearly brought on a general en->
■ gagement. The Marietta Confederate says
Longstrect certainly holds Knoxville.
Charleston, Nov. 20.—Retwecn two
and three o’clock this morning the enemy,
in several barges, approached Sumter, and
upon being hailed from the fort, answered
with oaths. They exchanged several vol
leys of musketry, which were replied to by
tbegarrisou, the engagement lasting liftecu
to twenty minutes, when the barges with
drew. Forts Moultrie, Ree and Johnson
also opened on the barges, but it is not
known with what damage to the Yankees.
Major Elliot says it was a feigned assault.
Gregg aud Cumming’s Point batteries have
opened a very heavy tire on Fort Sumter
this morning! Two or three more shells
were thrown into the city last night. No
person injured.
Atlanta, Nov. 20.—The Appeal \eavm
from Col. Chester that Longstrect has
captured Knoxville, routing the enemy
audtjUtig 1200 or 1500 prworiers.
One hundred and forty prisoners arrived
here 0H ti e same train with Col. Chester.
Wheeler is reported to be in thq ene
my’s rear, while Longstrect is pressing
their front.
Gen. Wharton has returned froth Rich
mond promoted to Major General.
General Cheatham has returned to
front. \
An officer who left Loudon on the 18th*,
repots that Longstrect had captured 1,609
and Wheeler 600 Yankees on the Bth,
and that Longstrect was a mile and a half
from Knoxville; entreuching. In their
retreat from Loudon, the Yankee army,
about 5,000 strong, was greatly demoral
ized, and left about one hundred wagons,
loaded with commissary and ordnance
stores, on the road. Robinsdn’s brigade
left Loudon yesterday to repair the pon
toons left by the Yankees on the Little •
Tennessee river, leading into Blount coun-
ty-
The resolution of Mr. Warren, of Lee, •

Not so free after all.
Facts show that the Mississippi river is
not so free after all, notwithstanding the
prouunciamentoes of Lincoln and his Gen
erals to that effect. The subjoined extra# (
from a New Orleans paper shows that some
of our brave guerillas arc doing their duty
along the. river banks :
While the steamboat Julia was passing
Cole's Creek Reud, twenty-five miles above
Natchez, twelve shots were fired into her
by the rebels, five of which lodged in dif
ferent parts of the boat, without, however,
doing any serious damage. There was no
person struck by the caunon or numerous
rifle shots, but one 6 pouii-les disembowel
ed two bullocks and lodged in the store
room. A conical shell embedded itself in
the coal bunk alongside the boilers, for
tunately doing no damage iu that danger- ,
uus locality, as it failed to explode. An
other shell, which did explode, was extract
ed in pieces from the coal pile, and hiul
contained forty halt-ounce balls inserted
with rosin. The tinware of the cook house
was perforated with numerous rifle or min
nie balls, as well as different portions of
the boat.
Getting Rich During the War.
Chronology, lyhicb had many im
portant m likely to have yet another.
In tnc “ good time (of peace) coming,”
when men speak of the wealth of others,
they will ask, how old is it ? 1 Vhcn was
it amassed ? And if the answer be, that
they gathered it during the war, this fact
will strip it of all respectability. To have
grown rich in 1862 or ’63 will be account
ed a dishonor then. It will pass for rol -
bery of the couutry at large, of the litm.-
■ lies of soldiers, of the poor. In
words it will be seen as it is. No dis
guise" will cover it up; no apology extenu
ate it.
