Brig-Gen. Warren, commanding the Engineer
Departmen, OF this army has been nominated a
Maior.General ny the President. In conjunction
with those Of Gen. Hancock, lie ,eryiocs were very
valuable TO Gen. Mcndc Il, the battle Of Gettysburg.
Both were frequently with Llm during TIE hght, and
both contributed much 10 the result by their Juds-

by HE profession, he gave little heed 10 poincs be-

We have now Major Generals at tho head OF the
cavalry aud engineering del arimenis. Why not OF
tho artillery OF this, Brig. Gen. HINT has long
been the efficient head. Daring the Hooker dynas-
ty, his power was much abridged from persJnal
motives, and the result seen in the terrible dis-
organization OF the artillery at thgnceliOryiilc.
He has been accused Of Ia lingering fondners for
Slavery, but be disease IL of very mild type, gnd

In the lIth CORPS three new bHgadiers have been
Iroi osed to the President-Col. Busllbeck and Col
smith commanding brigades in the ID Division, and
Lieut. oil Asmussen, Assistant Acknowledgement 10
the corps commander. The fret Of these officers,
Col. Bushbeck, commanded one Of the two brRades
which made IA stand ut Charlottesville after the
Ilth Corps had been surprised and put 10 hight by
jackson. An officer who could control his nen nn-
der such circumstances nchly deserves promotion.
He stands in strong contrast 10 the sorry creatures

Blacks employed IN the army ns servants, are
now frequently proceeding 10 Warrington TO enlist IN

We hear occasionally ali incurablo old iogy carp az
the want of dignity shown by the Government IN
enlisting blackr, but none now deny their courage
and soldierly qualities. Officers in each arm Oh ,ie
service are desirous oil commanding them. Cavnify
officers are unwilling they should be confined TO ~
antry, but desire that mounted regiments rhou'u 10
formed.
