GENERALS IN THE FIELD-We have intelli-
gence from Louisville thai General Albert John
ston, of Utah memory, left Richmond, week
ago yesterday to take command of the rebel
forces in Virginia, left vacant by the death on
the field of battle Of General Garrett. We per-
ceiye, also, that all of the militia officers in the
insurectionary army are beingiapidly changed,
and that well educated military men are being
put in their places The greatest possible activity
prevails, under the leadership of Generals J3E-
ferson Davis, Beauregard. Johnston, and Lee to
render the forces of The Confederate States as
efcien, as possible. Disco ab hostis, says the
Latin proverb. The authorities at Washington
can pursue no better course than to learn wis.
dom from the enemy, md see that the hosts that
are being arrayed to suppress rebellion may be

REBEL PRTvATEERs-We have. accounts of
three or four privateers at sea, equipped by the
government of the Confederate States, which
have captured between fifteen and twenty
Northern vessels. Ships, briggs, and schooners
have also arrived stating that they had been
chased, but had escaped, and time will doubt
less show that our marine disasters have been
greater than we yet dream Of Yet, such is the
inefllciency of the Navy Department, that we
have yet to learn of single United States
steamer or war ship having effectually pursued
these pirates. Nay more, we see by our ship
news, that vessels from Beaufort North Caro-
lima, have been spoken at sea bound for Bar
BADGES and elsewhere. This shows that the
blockade of the coast is not properly kept up,
and that trade between the South and foreign
ports is still maintained with impunity. Will

tary Welles and endeavor to initiate such a re-
form as may satisfy the just demands Of the

The RETURN OF THE TROOPs.-The great SEN
sation of the past week, following the news of
the battle fought at that place with the uneu-
phoniOus name-Bull run-was the return of
our gallant troops from the seat of war. The
manner in which they were welcomed home
was perfectly joyous and exhilarating. To the
soldiers themselves, who took part in the me-
morable engagement of Sunday, their recep-
ton in New York must have had the effect of a
lively comedy, following Immediately upon a
very dark tragedy. They must have felt amply
rewarded for all the hardships of campaigning
by this very unbounded burst of enthusiasm in
their behalf. The popular feeling must have
proved itself almost as welcome to these tired
and weatherbeaten fellows as the affectionate
greeting they afterwards met with in their own
homes. To know the genuineness of the regard
felt by the people for our brave volunteers,
fresh from the field of battle, it is only necessa-
ry to instance the fact of their crowd
ing Broadway for three successive days
prior to their actual arrival, in expec-
tation of their earlier coming Such
unabated ardor was the most Hattering
testimony of the respect and honor we
wished to show to the noble hearted defenders of
the Union. 1t filed the mind with sense of ex-
ultation to hear the warm and wholesouled ac-
carnations that filed the air as the men marched
by And we may rely upon it that a nations
praise will not be lostupon them. Most of them
are ready to volunteer anew, and doubtless many
of them will do 80, and it is to be hoped under
more efficient officers than they have hitherto
had. Thousands Of homes are meanwhile glad
dened by their return.

GENERAL wooI ONCE MoKr ,a.sn another part
OF to-days paper will be found an Interesting
description Of visSt 10 this veteran General, at
bis residence in Troy, with = sketch Of his ap-
pearance, and how be feels under his being krpt
in retirement while his country needs his SER
vices. The General, II appears, Is exceedingly
sensitive under the story that be Is not well
enough to assist In putting down the rebellion.
and declares thaf'he has not enjoyed as good
health for twenty years ms be- does at the present
time
We do not wonder at his uneaslncss under his
inexplicabe and unjust treatment by the Wash
ington authorities. Being full Of years. all of
which he has spent in the military profession and
having ever been ready to enter the most dan
gerous position at the call Of bis country be ma
turally feels sighted at being snubbed, and at
seeing the appointment in his stead Of the Pat
tersons, to act the part Of Grouchy In the cam.
paign, causing defeat and disaster to the Union
cause. 1t seems, from the statement of our cores
pondent that General Wool Is to-day in COED trim
to enter active service; not only in a good condi
ton, but actually enraged because he Is not per-
when the lives of the volunteers are almost
daily sacrificed under the fnr pas movements
of the political military generals, too lazy and
too ignorant to discharge their duties.
We trust that one of the first movements in
the reform that is to be inaugurated in the army
will be the placing of General Wool in position
where he can attend to the organization of one
division of our army, consisting of at least one
hundred thousand volunteers, where he can
prepare them-as the public well know that he
knows hOw-for q victorious campaign during
the fall. There is no military officer in the
Union better qualified for hat work, or one
who can do it better than General Wool. Let
the administration act the part of wisdom, and
avail themselves of his services before it il too
late.
