President Johnson nominated General Schofield as Secretary of War, and the Senate confirmed him. General Schofield's war record is well known to our readers. He was the commander of a wing of Sherman's army in the campaign of Atlanta, and the leader of the force which captured Wilmington and pushed into the interior of North Carolina to meet Sherman. Since the war he has been in command in Virginia. Of his political principles little is known at present.
