Military circles here have been in high state OF
excitement since Monday. There has beehs crisis IN
connection with the chief command Of the Union
armies now in Kentucky, and many incorrect YER
s;ous have appeared. The facts are substantially ne
follows:
Upon the arrival of Gen. Buell. at the head OF the
army. ON Wednesday last he by virtue OF seniority,
ossumed chef command of his own and the Army Oh
Kentucky. lately organized by Gen. Nelson. A day
or two after his arrival an order was received from
an. Halleck. directing fusion and reorganization
Of the armies of Ohio and Kentucky. Gems. Buell.
nnd Nilsson were about carrying this order out when,
q, Monday morning, Col. McKibben Of General
Ha,leck,s staff arrived from Washington with
an order directing General BueI TO turn
over chief command to Major-Cen. Thomss and
assume command Of the psroled prisoners aud camp
Of instruction at indianapolis. Gen. Thomas, with
mos, modest self-aplrecistior, immediately tele'
rraphed 10 Washington asking for the reinstatement
Of Gen. Buell. as better flted than himself Gens.
Crittenden, Rousseau, Jackson, and Boyle, and one
OF two others-but neither all nor majority OF
Division or Brigade Commanders, as asserted-also
sent remonstrapces, and in consequence, the order
was rescinded ON Monday morning, and Gen. Buell.
restored.
TIE causes Of Buelrstemponry disgrace are under
stood to have been the earnest demonstrations OF his
unftnees by leading men of the Northwest Disgust
of prominent Keutuckians with his failure to pre-
vent the invasion of their State the urgent request
Of removal by Andy Johnson and the Presidents
own dissatisfaction with the disastrous termination
Of The brillisnty-opened campaign in Tennessee and
Alabama. There can be possible doubt that
Buell. has lost the confidence of the Army Of the
Ohio with the exception ofShe Kentucky regiments
Thres-fourths Of the field and line officers and the
whole of the rank and file openly denounce
him in most unsparing language. He is now
ne repulsive 10 them as Mcdowell ever was
TO bis command. Several division aud majority Of
brigade commanders are likewise known to be
utterly dissatisfied The principal complaints Of the
officers and men are bis coliness aud indifference
toward them-bis Ina sing after marching them nearly
a thousand miles since tho battle of shiloh, and
making them perform immense amount Of fatigue
work, brought them back to the Ohio without hsv-

and above all, bis failure TO prevent the Munfords-

was as great aud general the gloom and dis
enlargement upon intelligence of reinstatement.
On Gen. Buell's restoration, the work of reorgan-
naton has been completed One regiment Of new
troors has been attached to each brigade. The
Army OF Ohio has been divided into three army
oorps-naned first second, and third-of three divi-
sons with proper compliments Of cavalry and artl-
lery. Zach corps respectively ID commanded by
Mai Gems. McCook, Crittenden, and GILBERT. The
div sion commanders Of the first corps are Gems.
Gill, Rosseau, and Jackson; Of the second, Gems.
Smith, Vanclerc, and Wood; of the third, Gems
Sehoepf Of Kansas and Dumont. Crittenden's corps
originally was assigned to Nelson. Gen. Buell. is
first and Gen. Thomas second 10 command.
Large reserve forces OF new troops ere being or
gained, and win remain here under Gen. Boyle
Beside reorganlzatioIs, wonderfllsmount Of work
has been performed here eiIee Saturday in Teeqoip-
ping clothing, and paying troops. There seems TO
be a deteruin alton ell round to make NJ for past
losses of time and opportunity, by unIeniing eper-
Nv in all bfanches Of the service and renewing at
once operations against the enemy.
The Rebel forces, under Bragg, Smith, snd Mar
shal, are known to DO scattered through Scott,
Woodford Franklin, Spencer, Anderson, Boyes,
and Boyce Counties and busily engaged in foraging
and recruiting No body Of any considerable
strength has been within two days' march Of Lou
isviile this week. The general belief of military
men is, that upon the approach Of our forces the
Rebels will hastily concentrate, and commence q
retreat toward Tennessee. AS they had ample
time TO appropriate and send of all the horses mules
cattle, forage and provisions they wanted, they can
fight ms 10 much better advantage in Tennessee
near their base army has double their strength
in every arm and as their lines of retreat are open
snce Buels transfer from their rear TO their front
II they propose to resist advance at eli they will
doubtless make stand the Kentucky River 70
that collision will probably take place before the
early part OF next week The conviction that the
Rebels viii not fight in Kentucky, but fall back into
Tennessee, IL universal among old troops, and the
prospect Of doing the work Of the last six months
over again is 70 distas,efal that large numbers de-
serted last night across the river upon hearing Of tie
order 70 march.
This morning, since O'clock, the whole Of three
corps have been in motion. They will move upon
tbe enemy eVer three separate roads, in forced
marcles
