who is to be Commander1

If the telegraphic dispatch below is true
there is likely to be trouble in regard to wha
has been called "Gen Lanes Expedition" We
shouldn't wonder if Lanes speech at Chicago
which we publish on the first page ofthis paper
had something to do with it. OF one thing we
are certain of however, that if Gen. Hunter
commands that expedition, Gen. Lane will have
nothing to do with it; But we do not believe
Gen. Hunter has issued any such absurd order:
Leavenworth, January 2S-The following
General Order, issued by Majo General Hunter
has caused a sensation in civil and military
circles:
ain the expedition about to be started South
from this department called in the newspapers
Gen. Lanes Expedition, it is the intention of the
Major General commanding this department to
command in person, unless otherwise expressly
ordered by the Government.
Transportation not having been supplied, we
must go without it, All tents, trunks, chests
chairs, camp tables, camp clothes, DC, must be
at once stored, or abandoned. The General
commanding takes in his valise but one change
of clothing, and no officer or soldier will carry
more. The surplus room in the knapsack must
be reserved for ammunition and provisions.-
Every officer and soldier will carry his own
clothing and bedding.
"The General Commanding has applied
to the Government for six Brigadier Gener-
ais, that this command may be properly
organized, aud until their arrival it is nee,
essary that he should appoint acting Briga
dier Generals from the senior CoIonos. Tc
enable him to do this in accordance with
the order on the subject, each Colonel viii

The following ORDER received from the
War Department, is published to the army
WAR DEPARTMENT, WAsHINGToN, D. c., !
January %, A. D., 1852. I
Tho President, Commander-in-C Chief of
the Army and Navy, has received informa-
ton of brilliant victory achieved by the
United States force over largo body of
armed traitors and rebels at Mill Springs in
the State of Kentucky. He returns thanks
to the gallant officers and soldiers who won
that victory, and when the official reports
shall be received the military skill and per-
sonal valor displayed in the battle will be
acknowledged in a fitting manner. The
courage that encountered and vaDquished
the greatly superior number of the traitor
force, pursued and attacked them in their
intrenchments, and paused not until the
enemy was completely routed, merits and
receives COMMUNICATION. The purpose of
this war is to attack, pursue and destroy
the rebellious enemy, and 10 deliver the
country from the danger menaced by trail
tors. Alacrity, daring, courageous spirit
and patriotic zeal on all occasions and under
every circumstance are expected from the
army of the United States. In the prompt
and spirited movements and daring in the
battle of Mill Spring, the nation willrealize
its hopes and the people of the United
States will rejoice to honor every soldier
and officer who proves his courage, by
charging with the boyonet and storming iu-
treuchments in the blaze of the enemy s
fire. BY order of the President.

Letter from the 72pd negI1nenr.

CANT CHASE, January 9th, 1862.
EDIroR JouRNAL:-The 72nd got safely into
Camp at this place against sundown of Satur-
day evening last. Our trip from Camp Croghan
here was not very speedy. l don't know who
had charge of our transportation, but they must
have calculated largely ON our patience. To go
from Fremont to Urbana occupied twenty-tw
mortal hours! There was very little of the
time while we were on the s. d. d G. Railroad,
when the men could not jump out of the cars
and go on afoot faster than the train. Many of
the boys vowed that if they were going to Col
umbus in hurry, they would go on foot We
landed at the Depot in Columbus about 3 o'clock,
and Immediately formed into line and took up
our march for Camp, which think is fully FIVE
miles from the city. The road was quite mud
| dy. The most Of the men had great loads of
baggage-each man carrying about twice as
much as he ought on a march--and the day be-
ing much warmer than we were used to, com
bined to make our march something of trying
one.
The mud and water in camp we found deep
and universal. l am sure none of the boys
were favorably impressed with our new "home''
Saturday evening, but stay of two days has
wrought great change in opinion. There seems
to have been general thaw here. The face of
dame nature wore the appearance of Spring
So far from snow, ice and sleighing, We found
none of either. The ground was free from frost
and the atmosphere warm. Our camp looks to
me like place associated with mud, especially
in time Of rain. 1t is too early to write defn-
itely of our Camp, but will say that there are
here four regiments, and that the post is under
command of Col Bausenwin of the 5stb.
1t is said that our regiment made better ap-
pearance upon our march through Columbus
than any regiment that has come TO this Camp
for long time. At least, we compare very ia
vorably with any here now. To-day Co. b
goes on Brigade guard
Ny time is too limited to write more
