action became general. The fire of the

WAsHrH0roN, OFT. 9.-Gen. Sigel's corps

thorized by Gen. Mcclellan to raise brigade
cf Zouayes to be the third brigade Of Sykes
division, the first and second being composed
Of regulars. This division will constitute the
reserve infantry OF N1cCiellan's army.
Duryea's and Colcis' Zouaves Will probably
form part Of the brigade.
The early occupation of Texas, which is now
being urged on the Secretary Of War, is mat
ter which should have receive more attention
months since Col. Hamilton has no doubt
have hitherto existed IN the minds Of certain
officials.
1t is quite probable that the efforts Of Gov.
Andrew, and many others, who are now en-
deavOring to cOnsummate some arrangement
by which seriously disabled soldiers may be
sent home, instead Of being placed iii hospitals,
will be measuraby successful.
The published statements that the Contede-
rates have recently undertaken to erect new
batteries III the vicinity Of Cockpit Point, on
the Potomac, appear to be premature. 1t
seems that detachments from one or two Of the
gunboats were sent ashore to destroy some OF
the old Confederate works there, and the ex-
plosions were mistaken by somebody at a dis
tance for regular bombardment. The Con-
f~derates have not yet 1nolested any vessels
passing up or down the river.
Brigadier General T. D. Cox Of Ohio, late
commander Of the Kanawha division of the
army and successor to Gen. Reno, in command
Of the ninth army corps, has been promoted to
the rank Of Major General, and is ASST gned to
the command Of al the troops in a new de-
partment, the name Of which is not yet an
