ments-A Point Lost.

From Our Own Correspondent. - ,..,
Gen. Wool has assumed command of this De-
psrtment and established his headquarters where
Gen. Butler recently had HE. Tie change has
been made, az / believe, without injury to the
harmony that should always prevail, and never
80 necessary as now; and also without iniiictng
a wound anywhere. That the country will con-
tinue 10 have the benefit Of Gen. Buffers SER
vices, 10 some other and perhaps more active
field | do not doubt. The experience gained by
his important services in the past stages oi the
war will prove valuable TO him and TO the coun-
try. in whatever field be may be called to az
sst in prosecuting it to close.
The following order communicating to the De-
partment the change in the Ccmmandng-Generai,
is at once felicitous and in good taste:
