ORGANIZATION OF THE ARslr.
The present organization Of the Army Of
the Cumberland was made Immediately after
the battle Of Sfurffeesboro. Prior to the as
sienmcnt Of Gen. Rosecrans to the command,
it was designated the ..*Army of tho Ohio"
and it had only divisional organization. On
the formation Of the Department Of the Cum-
bcrland, this army VAS styled the "Four-
tccnth Army Corps" EARLY in January,
however, an order Of the War Department
formed the command into three corps -des-
grated respectively the Fourteenth, Twenti-
eth and Twenty-frst Corps.

THE ARMY OF RosEcRAss.
It twould be great mistake to confonnd
lAC AMY VI LIZ cAuVI44AA4 LII A%9 QlGaEAt
condition with what it was last year. Since
the bat.!o Of Murfreeshoro, ID fact, this is q
new army. Drill, discipline and rigorous in
spectio1s have done and are doing their work,
and this army moves with power it never
possessed before.
It Ia the five months that have passed since
its last great battle that have been assiduous-
ly spent In organizing, drilling and disciplin-
iDg-in bringing 1t out Of the CHAOS In which
Gen. RoEecrans found II, and making it more
OF an army and less Of mob. This Is quiet
work, does not ring in the public ear, but af-
ter all, this silent training gives victories.
TIE result Of these months Of hard work will
he demonstrated the moment the army enters
upon an active campaign i
The cavalry Of the Army Of the Cumber-
land, instead Of being distributed among the
corps, is all massed in q separate corps, forming
two divisions Of horse, under Major General
Stanley. The object Of this is to give greater
ensemble and mobility to the operations Of this
important arm Of thcseryice. The cavalry force
OF this army Is small much smaller tsan It
should be. Yet Gen. Rosecrans has had the
greatest difficulty in obtaining what he has,
He Is now making herculean efforts to obtain
more.
The artillery force is very etrong-if we
should judge by Theoretical writer's, we might
even fay too much 50. But Gen. Rosecrans
has already proven that he knows how to use
artillery.
