The New Orders OF the War Depart
ment-EnshualaAm among the Sol
dters.
Correspondence Of the N. r Tlmes-1
OLD Po,x7, Thursday. July "a, 1861
The new Executive orders, respecting using
the property Of rebels for military purposes,
and ALSO employing contrabands IN our army,
is hailed with delig ght among all loyal classes
here, civil and military. People pull long
breath, and feel IS If we had started afresh-
this time on the right ROAD. Il Is true the Or
der comes 1ather lare, and after We could have
prevented the loss OF thousands OF brave Lives
and millions Of treasure, could We have sooner
mansged 70 get the country out ot is coils Of
rcd tape; but still let bygones be bygones.
Iet.us be happy that matters-bad as they
are-are no worse; and like honest Sancho
PanZa, bid God bless the giver, and not look
the gitthorse too closely ID the mouth.
There are people In tho North who, no
semi-sbo1ition one; who think it. "unconsti-
tutioaa1" to save the bones and sinews OF
our Northern white mgn, BY employing the
property Of Southern rebels in digging orr
trenches, &C., while our soldiers fest tor
fighting, and who would make many North
efn fool believe that the army would lay
down their arms In disgust il one word was
mentioned In their hearing shout the negro:
1Wish to heaven thst one Of these people had
been 1t my side this morning, 70 hear what
did nom the lips OF poor -bed-f1dden 1e4oHe,
with mutilated limbs, hating, 1imping, suffer-
ing, many dying, on board the 8. Z. spanld'
| ing. He would hare been convinced thas,
| whatever political writer's may choose to
think OF the necessity of having our men
murdered BY thousands while protecting
rebel property, OF dying like rotten sheep IL
swamps, to sase the sleek negroes Of armed
traitors, soldiers who have to undergo thos&
| hardRhfpg have no sympathfes that way.
And let the public be assured that this GIL
cia1 order came not one moment too soon
and that the army is going to permit no tam
| peEing with 1t now that it has been promn1
gated. A cloud-a short time aimee no large
than the prophets hanli-had made Its ap
pearance, and WAS rapidly swelling into poI
fentious dimensions. That which had hither
to been passing from lip to lip, in timid rnuE
mure, would have soon burst into . roar q
thunder 20 loud that the deafest among u
would have been bound to hear. The army vii

captured Lexington. Russcllville, Ken

by the Williams.

An Iren-CIad Fleet.

The year 1862 will be remembered in
history as the one in which iron-cads were
introduced and fully tested in this country.
England, and France, it is true built the
first mailed vessels, but they have thus far
been untried as far as practical tests, are
concerned. Our Monitor has been tested
and has proved all right. Our Galena has
been tested and proved all wrong, for verti.
cal resistance at least. Our iron.clads Oh
the Western waters have been subjected to
very severe tests, and prove their great 8u.
periority over wooden ships.
In the course of few weeks we will have
at command large fleet of Monitors and
iron clads. The following is the list of
those now in the course OF construction:
Three hus and six turrets, by L. T.
Rowland, continental works, Green Point.
Three sets of engines and boilers for them
are being built at the Delameter Ironworks
10 the city of New York.
Two hulIs complete, with engines, boilers,
and turrets, at the American works, Bos-
ton, by Lori0g & Co.
Two hulls complete, with engines and
boilers, &C., but without the turrets at
Chester, Pennsylvania. Reaney & Go.
One hull complete, with engine and boil.
er, without turret, at Wilmington, Del
aware.
One vessel complete in every respect at
the Fulton Foundry, Jersey City, by 10,
seph COlwell.
One vessel of new pattern at the Dry
Dock Irou Works. J. S. Underhi!

Soldiers to Command.

General Halleck has addressed q letter
to committee of gentlemen in New York
which is of very great Importance. He was
applied to for regular army officer to take
the coonelcy OF new regiment forming in
that State, and replied
While in the West gave leave to every
regular officer who could get volunteer reg
iment. Heretofore the policy here has been
opposed to this. | have just given orders to
the adjutant general to give leave to every
regular officer who receives the commission of
a volunteer colonel, and | am satisfied that he
can do more good at the head of regiment
than with bare fragment of a company.
This is most sensible aud excellent
change 10 the general order OF things that
has prevailed since the war commenced
with regard to giving volunteer regiments
the benefit of competent coIoreIs. There
can hereafter be no good reason for placing
incompetent civilians in command. Regu.
lar officers sufficient to take charge OF all
our regiments can be found ready and wills
ing to accept commissions. Let them be
sought out,
