Ought General Meade to be removed?
This question is now absorbing the attention of the authorities at Washington, and soon will be, if it is not already, decided.
The fatality that has attached to every commander of the brave Army of the Potomac has affixed itself to General Meade.
The movement against him, at first only whispered among a few discontented subordinates in the army, has at last reached the capital, and has attained the dignity—if dignity it be—of an open opposition.
The main movers appear to be General Daniel E. Sickles and the new Committee on the Conduct of the War. It is urged that General Meade is too slow; that but for the dash of some of his division commanders the victory at Gettysburg would have been a cowardly retreat;<

Colonel.
I enclose herewith a slip from the New York Herald of the 12th inst., containing a communication signed Historicus, purporting to give an account of the battle of Gettysburg to which I desire to call the attention of the War Department—and ask such action thereon as may be deemed proper and suitable.
For the past fortnight the public press of the whole country has been teeming with articles, all having for their object assaults upon my reputation as an officer, and tending to throw discredit upon my operations at Gettysburg and my official report of the same.
