sigsl and the Governors.


We tako Il for granted that the authorities here will
decline accedng 10 the late request Of General Sge TO be
relieved from his present command. This request grew
doubtless out OF his dissatisfaction with the failure 70
assign TO his corps certain regiments recently raiscd
which the Governors Of the states In which they were
raised promised TO send to him No such agreement or
arrangement between those functonares and General
sge could be binding on the department, which mJet
necessarily assign troops as they come into the service
st where the exigencies Of the moment require them
o. imperativey We are persuaded that little re-
n, ct will open the eyes OF General Sge to this fact as
well as to tho further fact that the President and War
Department have nj all times done every possible
tlfng 10 crafty him. The trouble between them
lorcby illustrates, nrst, the embarrassmens to the
service growing OF the interference OF Governors
acting as such with the disposition OF troops raised for
tho public veal rather than be commanded by any parti.
car general and also the than folly OF disposng
of troos any other end whatever than that OF using
them and where they for the time being best sub
scrv the cause for which they wore brought into the

P.s--we may not inappropratey remark that the
Cove lately here also understood TO have vrtu.
ally assumed the right only thus TO assign the troops,
hut III than instance the generals In the way OF
insisting vehemeniy that should have this COM
mani another that command, and that others should be
removed from their command Sc no All this Is IN OK
Keeping with the doipgs OF the political leaders that
have, up 10 this tc brought so many delays and re-
verses on arms.
II will be readily perceived that 10 permit the Cover
nors Of States TO assign troops 10 special officers, would
be virtually conccding 10 them the right 10 make or
make generals In command.
