Burnside proved that the crossing of the river had bee whom I carried with me and introduced him to Burnside. Alexander Coxe got back yesterday, and brou have not yet been received. I believe it is Burnside's intention to make another attempt to dislodand sorry for any one in my life as I did for Burnside. He really seems to have even the elements a altogether, as it was purely an invention of Burnside's, and has not, I think, been considered a god into his room, where I found himself and Mrs. Burnside, the latter a very quiet, lady-like and extaken away from him on the representations of Burnside.

in its execution. Besides, the present is not a time for the removal of a general in command of so important an army, unless his faults be much greater than any that can be proved of General Meade. The spring campaign is about to open—who is better fitted to lead the Army of the Potomac than he who led it to victory at Gettysburg, and has since kept its honor bright? We have changed commanders too often; with the exception of General Meade, each change has been for the worse. We tried Burnside, Pope, Hooker, and found each of them wanting. There was no victory between those of Antietam and Gettysburg. It is due to the general who won the latter that he should have a chance to share the honors of the triumphs which we hope are awaiting our armies in the coming campaign.
