Army MATrERs.-The Northwestern part Of the
State which has been the OF little disaster to
cause has been assigned to the command of Brig Gen.
W. W Loring, who set of for his post this morning.
Gen. Lorng was Colonel of rifles in the United States
Army and has just reached here from New Mexico, OF
which department he had command at the time of bis
resignation. He is citizen Of Florida, and was ap-
pointed from civil life in the Mexican Major,
and continued in the service after the end of the
war in the Mounted Rifles. He served gallantly in
Mexico and lost an at Chepultepec. He has seen
great deal of service in Oregon Washington and 9th
er portions of the far West against the Indians, and
is one of the most energetic and efficient officers in
the service. He has had much experience in noun
tain warfare, and is peculiarly fitted for the COM
mand that has been assigned him. In the
course OF week ten days be will have command of
fifteen thousand men, and trust he will be able to
wipe out Mcclellan from the theatre Of his much boosted
exploits.
Gen. Lorng Travelled East with Gen. Albert S. John
ston, late of the United States Army in command of
the Army of Utah. whose presence has been anxously
expected for time. General A. S. Johnston will
be in Richmond in the course of a week. He will be
at assigned to most important command with

the conjecture that General A. s.. Johnston will be
placed the head of all operations in the Mississippi
Valley. He is Kentuckian by birth and citizenship,

ney to the East has necessarily been proracted.-Rich
