We hear, from authority that we are not at liberty to doubt, that Lincoln has removed Col. John E. Wiley, the capable and obliging U. S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Virginia. The office has been conferred on a citizen of Fauquier county. The fact that Col. Wiley was a veteran who bore on his person wounds received in the war of 1812, in defence of his country, availed nothing with the ‘"President elect."’
