b@- 1t seems that Geh. Heath, now of
Western Virginia, is TO take command, as Major
General Of the Department of Missouri and Arkan-
sas. The reason assigned for this movement is the
want of concert between Gems, Price and McCul-
loch, and the hope is that perfect harthony and a
greater efficiency can be secured by subordiuating
both. The experiment is dangerous one, howey-
er pure the motive, and the people Of the South
west will look with distrust if not Indignation,
upon any act that may, however remotely, tend to
reflect upon Gen. Price whose energy, ability, and
brilliant exploits reflect honor Upon the Confederate
arms, He has accomplished more with smallet
means than any man in the service, and has clear
right to expect promotion ratKer than to be made
subordinate The efficiency hc bds so sgnslly dis
played is the fruits of his own genius aided by his
intimate knowledge of Missouri and its people, and
should his plans be thwarted by the conceit or OBJ
st1ate teiercs of superior, the loss to our cause
may be most serious. We know nothing of Gen.
Heath, but grating Him eaddi ability, long expe-
rience and close observation will be necessary to
supply the advantages which Price already pos
sesses, and Mssoiti might be won whilst those ad-
yahtages are being gained, axe . -tr.nq
