The following petition has been placed this morning, (says the Boston Transcript, of the 29th ult.,) in the Merchants' Exchange and News Room, and meets with great favor among our prominent merchants and shipowners. It embodies, in respectful terms, the wide-spread discontent of the community with Secretary Welles: To the President of the United States: The undersigned, citizens of Boston and its vicinity, respectfully request that the present Secretary of the Navy, Hon. Gideon Welles, be removed from office, and that his place may be supplied by some man qualified, by executive capacity, and by competent knowledge of naval and civil affairs, to exercise the proper forecast, vigilance and energy in preventing such disasters as may be directly tracted to the lack of those qualities in the present incumbent, and in those subordinates

The Columbus Sun, of the 1st inst., has the following: By a private latter from Waynesville, to a gentleman at present in this city, we learn that on the 26th ult. the Yankee were landing in force at Fancy Bluff, near Brunswick. They were discovered by the pickets of Capt. Hopkins's cavalry company, which is stationed at Waynesville. The pickets were shelled by the enemy's gunboats. Col. C. W. Styles, who has been stationed with his regiment. At Brunswick, had gone further down the coast on an expedition, the object of which it would be imprudent to mention, and it is not known whether he was accompanied by all, or a part only, of his regiment. Fancy Bluff is nearly opposite Brunwick in a westerly direction.

But perhaps the most auspicious feature of the Western programm is revealed in the contemplated movement of Gen. Van-Dorn from Northwestern Arkansas to co-operate on the west bank of the Mississippi with our Generals on the east side of the river. If the enemy, as now seems probable, intends to attempt an advance down the Mississippi, the appearance of Gen. Van-Dorn on his flank, andin a general plan of operations in the West. We have no doubt that it has all along been entertained, and that Gen. Van-Dorn's purpose in so speedily attacking Curtis was t cripple him as much as possible, and, leaving him in te wilds of Northwestern Arkansas, where he could gain nothing by invasion, move across to he Mississippi, in order to act against Gen. Pope at New Madrid. The Boston merchants and the Secretary of the Navy. The following petition has been placed this morning, (sa

us feature of the Western programm is revealed in the contemplated movement of Gen. Van-Dorn from Northwestern Arkansas to co-operate on the west bank of the Mississippi with our Generals on the east side of the river. If the enemy, as now seems probable, intends to attempt an advance down the Mississippi, the appearance of Gen. Van-Dorn on his flank, and threatening his rear, near New Madrid or Cairo, would unquestionably disconcert the plan, and compel him to enter upon a new campaign in Missouri as a preparation for invasion. Even if this movement of Gen. Van-Dorn should accomplish nothing but t gain time for maturing our river defences by arresting the progress of the enemy, its wisdom would be amply demonstrated. It may be remembered that this paper conjectured, as soon as Gens-Beauregard and Van-Dorn went to their new commands, that the movement in question was embraced in a general plan of operations in the West. We have no doubt that it has all along been entertained, a

ippi Valley. The New Orleans Delta has an encouraging article upon the campaign in the West, which we copy: The prospect of the Confederate arms in the West is every day looking brighter. The recent movements of our Generals from the Tennessee river to the Ozark Mountains, have been marked by comprehensive forethought and skillful execution. The dispositions of Johnston, Beauregard, Bragg and Polk on the Tennessee border have forced the enemy to pause in his advance; and Buell and Halleck are now evidently perplexed as to whether to persist in the policy of pushing their chief column up the Tennessee river, or withdrawing from that river and pouring a grand expedition down the Mississippi. But perhaps the most auspicious feature of the Western programm is revealed in the contemplated movement of Gen. Van-Dorn from Northwestern Arkansas to co-operate on the west bank of the Mississippi with our Generals on the east side of the river. If the enemy, as now seems probable,

. Of the six merchants above alluded to who sympathize with us, only two ever did a Southern business. The reason why those who have grown rich by Southern trade are against us is, that they are accustomed to test all matters by "gain." They know well that the separations of the North and South was the death knell of Northern prosperity, and when hostilities were first inaugurated they foolishly imagined that a ninety days campaign would settle it all. Why, I saw a hand of men (?) In Philadelphia, many of whom were fresh from prison, under the lead of an Alderman from the low part of the city. They talked as confidently of their march through Virginia to New Orleans, as if they were going on a picnic up the Delaware, and many sensible people in Philadelphia had every confidence in their ability to perform their threat. But the war has gone on from month to month every day. Seward promising that in thirty days all would be over and the South would be crushed. Now they have a d

Whether the inventor of the new saddle entertains such views, I know not. I hardly think he does. I mean McClellan. Like all new brooms, he made a clean sweep at Washington. When he first took command everything must be changed. The noble bearing and brilliant charges of Southern cavalry at Bull Run induced him to increase that arm of the service until he had horses enough to carry nearly all his infantry. But then came the rub. His men could not ride, so he caused to be made several thousand saddles, after a new plan of his own. The idea was to fix the rider securely upon the horse by elevating the pommel and the hinder part of the saddle — forgot its name — some 12 or 14 inches. You know few Northern men understand horseback riding. This plan was to keep the rider secure. The
