The Boston Post gives as the following
account Of Major General WRIGHT;

The Boston Post gives as the following
account of Major General WRIGHT
The organization of the new Western
Department, under General Horatio G.
Wright, the st. Louis Republican informs
us, does not interfere with the commands
of General Buell. or General Grant in
their present positions, but assigns all
that part of the seat of war over which
Gen. Halleck was placed before being
appointed General-in-C Chief, and not in
cluded in the Districts of Tennessee and
Alabama, TO n separate Department un-
der Major General Wright. Horatio G..
Wright is q native OF Connecticut, from
which State he was appointed to the U.
s. Military Academy in 1887, He was
a member of the class graduating in
1641, among whom were Nathaniel Lyon,
Don Carlos Buell., Joseph b. Plummer,
Schuyler Hamilton, James Totten and
others who have been well known in the
West during this war Graduating Sc
cond in his class, he was appointed Sc
cond Lieutenant of the Corps Of Engi
ueers July 1, 1871. He did not how
ever, Immediately enter the army, but
such were his requirements in his pro-
fession, that he was given the place of
Acting Assistant Professor of Engineer
ing at West Point which chair he held
until August 20, l943, when he was reg
ularly installed as Assistant Professor
continuing 20 teach until July 2, 1874
He was appointed First Lieutenant Of
Engineers, February %, 184S, and Cap
tain July 1, 1855. On the 9th Of August
Of last year he received the appointment
Of Major Of Engineers and a month later
was commissioned a Brigadier General
of Volunteers. Since that time he has
been engaged in experimenting the con-
structiOn and improvement OF iortilica-
tions at Tortugas, Florida, and on the
Gulf and Atlantic coasts. He was the
ranking Brigadier General in the Port
Royal Expedition of General Il. W. Sher-
man, and was esteemed a very valuable
as well as popular officer. Recently he
has been visiting his friends in the East.
The appointment of Gen. Wright to the
command of the Department of the Ohio,
is said, no doubt correctly, to be the Sc
lection of Gen. Hallecl1, and his promo
ton, few days ago to the rank of Ma
jor General, was for the purpose Of obvi-
ating any dispute among the officers in
the new Department in respect to SEN
| iority
