CHANGES IN IMPORTANT COMMANDS. !
IL IL not determined as The Herald in its double
loaded leader Of Saturday asserts, that Gen. alleck
shall reasenme the general command IN the wet,
and thai Gen. Mcclellan shall be transferred from
his headquarters on tho quiet Potomac to the
chair Of the Genersln Chief The rumor is q very
old one, and there 10 reason to think that such
changes have been under consideration, and are
strongly pressed from some quarters, but no such
decision as thas indicated has yet been reached. A
70 the additional statement that Gen. Hooker 10 to
be assigned 10 the command Of the army Of the
Upper Potomac il may be affirmed with tocrable
degree OF certainty that Gen. Hooker Ia at present
the heir apparent 10 that command, and that If
change be made he will be Gen. McClellaus sue
cessor.
GEN. BUELL..
II half the charges sgain,t Gen. Buell., which are
made in private letters from bis officers are true.

IMPORTANT FROM RICHMOND.
TIE Richmond Enquirer. OF Oct. ~, contains the
following paragraph;
Reports from the Potomac on Yesterday place a
portion # our array in Maryland, opposite Shep-
herdstowp. We have no particulars Of any such
movement, but think il probable thai such 10 the
paisn in TINS quarter will be conducted a. the cam

should events not be interrupted by any decisive
battle. The season will soon begin when the con
dtion 4 the reads viii render military operations
extremely difficult and especially among the hills
and mountains Of the lower valley. a battle may
be- Tough, Boon, and both armies aware OF the
necessity uf its speedy contamination. The game Of

struck"
The Enquire slso says;

ENGLISH FRIENDS IN WASHINGTON.
MR.. Eliza Quincy, widow Of the late John Joe.
Quincy, the eminent English Friend aud bcrfef IN
eloquent preacher, had interesting interview
with the President to-day. She assured him al
some length Of the sympathy which Friends on
both sides Of the Atan,c felt in him, and OF the
prayers which they offered up OH his behalf, and
closed her remarks with earnest appeal To bin TO
trust in Divine power Tie President was s'nsibly
affected and replied in few but fit words to The
effect that IN tue unhappy events amid which his
lot was cast, he acknowledged the Divioe hand, M
controlling all things, and considered himself only /

Providence, being sure that whatever might happen,
he who made the world still governed it..
TENDER TREATMENT or REBELS.
Another ust alton Of the astonishing tenderness
shown toward the wealthy iatherin-law OF sldell's
Secretary Of Legation by somebody in authority has
jut been brought 10 light. Two wsrda in lIarwood
Hospital on the Corcoran estate, containing all the
surgical patients III that hospital, were all but
flooded by yesterdays rain, and would have been
rendered utterly ulinhAbit.ble had the storm con
tinued a hour or two longer. A it is, probably not
"A few Of the patients We're materially injured by the
drnpness which a little drainage would have ciectl-
ally guarded against. This the surgeon in charge
aud began 10 trench some days ago in
anticipation OF rain But he had made slight progress
when an order came from headquares-no. from
the Surieon.G General directing Lin to dosist, and
intimating that the beautiful Corcorn estate must
not bc injured. This fresh Assurance OF friend'iness
cannot but pleate the owser when he hears OF it in
Sliiolrs Iarlors in PaIif. The War Department
looks more like Il Navy Department to-day. Tue
volen, rain Of Yesterday and hast night leaked It's
way through the canvas which serves for q roof

rooms unInhabhable not sparing even The august
Secretary or the Assistant Secretaries. NopaIer5
ave been irreparably injured, but the whole in
