The country was appalled at the disaster of Bull Run. it could not be denied that Gen. McDowell had failed. War is inexorable.--It sacrifices lives and reputations with remorseless hand. Public opinion demanded that McDowell be instantly displaced from the command of the army of the Potomac.--Neither the President nor Gen. Scott dared to resist the execution of the decree.
