The Daily Dispatch: November 6, 1861., [Electronic resource], A frightful stampede of cavalry horses. (search)
Gen. McClellan's Successor. Our dispatches, through Louisville, Ky., announce that Gen. McClellan has been superceded in his position in the Federal army by Gen. Henry W. Halleck. Gen. H. has long held a prominent position, and we understand graduated at West Point in 1839, with the third honor of his class. He was subsequently promoted in the army, and figured conspicuously in California during the trying times of the early emigration and organization of that region into a State of the old Union. He is an author of some repute as well as a military gentleman of prominence. Whether he will "follow in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor," General McClellan, and refuse to rush on the Confederates forces at Centreville and Manassas, time will tell.
