Disgrace of McClellan.

We are by no means sure that the removal of McClellan from command is calculated to do the Yankee cause any great damage. It is said that he is the best General they have, and we think it probable he is. Yet they could have fallen upon no man who could have made a more signal failure then he did in his campaign against Richmond. If he be the best, they must all be exceedingly bad.--If Burnside be any worse than McClellan, he is not likely to take Richmond in a hurry.

It is plain that the Yankees mean to make an immediate move upon Richmond. The appearance of their gunboats in James river, simultaneously with the dismissal of McClellan, indicate this fact in a manner which can leave no doubt. There is just as little that they are in great force.--But, ‘"it is a far cry to Richmond,"’ and they have not reached it yet, From present appearances they seem to be inclining once more to Fredericksburg, where they will be in reach of their gunboats, and of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. If they suffer not a defeat in Culpeper, or somewhere in that region, no doubt we shall soon hear of them in this part of the country. We believe we shall be prepared to meet them whenever they present themselves.
