with many Of them he has been associated since
the hour he fret entered the service snd 10 all he
has become bound BY the close ties OF cOmphlOnship
evnpathy and devotion TO a common cause. Tie
officers and men are endeared 70 him, and ii not IN
trials by fire vet in the equally trials Of rapid
and faiguing marches, OF protraced conflicts with
the elements, and greater than all, enduring 70
patiently the being f0IbiddSn from gathering their
portion Of the green aurels, so goaItly won by
brothers in arms

Ilme and the efficiency Of The division, and at the

for the prompt obedience the unvarying cOJstancy,

day evening about o'clock and proceeded at once
10 report himself TO the Secretary Of War.
The report that Gen. Banks is dissatisfied with
the order placing Gen. Pope in command OF the
Army Of Virginia, is not true. Gen. Banks Is
solder, and obeys orders. Long ago he expressed
HIS willingness to form junction with either
Fremont or Mcdowell, and act in the Held suoor-
dinae to them if by 60 doing it would contribute IN
the least to crush out the Rebellion. The appoint
ment of Gen. Pope to his present position was no
surprise TO Gen. Banks. ,o.,,
