Gen. Huger has been relieved of his command. He retains his
rank and pay as major-general “of ordnance.”
Gen. Pope, Yankee, has been assigned to the command of the
army of invasion in Northern Virginia, and Gen. Halleck has been made
commanding general, to reside in Washington. Good! The Yankees are disgracing
McClellan, the best general they have.
