THE ARMY or THE POTOMAC.
The news from the army to-day is Of the most en-
description. Deep a. is the mud, the
army IN oves-,o new organization, to better dis
cipins, to greater effectiveness. We can congrst.
ulate the country upon the prospect Of speedy alb
rosa,iou Of the grand divisions. Gen. Hooker Is de-
termined 10 attend personally to the business OF the
whole force under bis command, and 10 know its
exact condition at all times. We can congratulate
tho country the approaching end Of the halfloya
heavy and SLOW Generals. Those
whose spirit, speech and influence tend to produce
characterization and decentralization among the troops
are doomed. The efficient officers 10 the army Will
now surely come up, and thorough discipline for
both officers and men will as surely DO enforced
discipline that shall require unquestionng obedience
to orders, and abstinence from criticism and from
prophecy Of disaster.
The new orders already issued are remarkable and
remarked on for their appreciation oftb value OF time
The pronpttude ofaction. II has transplred
from Headquarters that failure 10 leone TO time
will probably be the reason for liberal SUSPENSIONS
and dsn.ssals from the service. Leaves Of absence
have been limited TO ten days in oil cases save to the
extreme New-Engand and Western States where
lneen are allowed. Officers now absent without
leave must look out for instant dismissal. They have
been aimed a, in general order Circulars TO divis-
ion commanders require thorough inspection OF all
camps, and immediate improvement of their sanitary
condition. Tie roads, rain no rain. are required

But tho best news from Headquarters is, that the
General has made up his mind that in hls army the
capacity Tor command shall constitute the title TO
command.
