Gen. UeintZeiuan.

We shall ere long hear something i;n>
portsnt from Gen. HEISrzEKMAx, who is
in command Of much larger army, south
of Washington, than is generally suppos>
ed. We find The following sketch of him
in the Albany Leening yoarnui:
This brave soldier is not an adopted cit

il Pennsylvania, and graduated at West
Point in It's early ani best DAYS No car
pet soldier, pe9ted hy polI,ca! favor-hr
has served his country IN tie .feid, not The
Office, for d years. For this long period
has he been tired and trusted. ami ever

in Mexico, California, ana Texas. wherever
were enernss of this country, there has he
been found, and always foremost at the post
Of danger. Bronzsd hv hi, campaigns on
the frontier he entered heart and soul into
the work OF crushing this infamous rebels
lion, and in n" instance where he has been
IN command have the forces Of the Union
turned their back. At Williamsburg with
hut 6 coo men he drove $4,000 rebels
from strong entertainments. an: at Fair
Oaks our brave troops, under his leader
ship, drove superior numF ers from the field
and pursued them 10 within three miles Of
Richmond. And at the close of the Seyen
days battles it WAS his corps that WAS Sc.
'erted to make the last desperate charge
which swept back The tide of rebellion and
secured the safety Of The Armv of the Pc

Inability CT the Army Of the Potomac

The utter irnheciity which reigns at
Washington is somewhat disclosed by the
following, which we take from tha New
