four>ffths of the troops came from Virginia
had been in North Carolina bu. a short time 10
transitu for this department, but became per-
feet absurdity, by being coupled with the claim
to the exercise of an independent command, in
direct contraventiou of we'd known rule OF the
War Department, as well as Of a vital principle
of the art of war.
The arrival, on yesterday, of Assistant Adju-
tant General Townsend, with conclusive instruc-
lions from the War Department, has cow brought
the whole difficulty to termination. The Sec
Rotary of War has directed that Ger Foster re-
turn and remain in the Department of North
Carolina; rebuked Gen. Neglee for his protest
against Gen. Hunters proper exercise of au.
thority, and decided that the reinfOrcements
have properly been and shall hereafter be under
the command of Gen. Hunter At the same
time, he ordered 60 much of Gen. Hunters Cen
eral Order as embodied the reinforcements for
mally in the Tenth Army Corps to be rescinded,
the President alone having power to fix the
component partsof such body. This was toe
day done in the accompanying order. Thus
Gen. Hunter has been sustained, as everybody
knowing the merits of the case was satisfied he
would be, in all the cardinal points at issue by
the very authority which Gen. Foster expected
to recognize his pretensions a2oEf .
From the above it will be seen that General
Gen. Foster has been creating in his department
than guardian OF the law would be for any at.
tempt to violate it. They were entirely of Gen.
Fosters making, and upon him the whole re-
sponsibility for them rests. II sa 90 -
No military sxiom has been more fully estab
lished by the history of all wars, and more es.
pecialiy this of ours, than that unity of CONS
mand is the vital condition of success. more
deliberate effort to destroy this than that made
by Gen. Foster in this department can be hardly
imagined. In order TO arrive at a full apprecia.
ton of the bearing of his conduct, it should be
known that, had it not been for the accident of
unavoidable protraction of the preparations of
the naval branch Of the service for the impend
ing campaign, the delay of the proper inspec
ton, equipment, disposition, &C.. of the troops
from North Carolina, caused by the obstrepe.
rousness of his staff officers, acting under his
orders, would have seriously iuterfered with, if
not altogether paraiyzed, the contemplated of.
fenslve movements. Let him answer, if he can
to his superiors, for the extraordinary manner in
which be pushed his undue claims to rank and
command, even to the extremity Of creating dis
satisfaction and mutinous disposition toward the
Cemmander.in Chief of the Department among
the officers and men under him. Let him prove,
IT ne can, to the country, his right to leopard its
interests in following the impulses OF bis inor.
dinate ambition. And, lastly, let him ask him.

it would not have been infinitely more to his
credit to yield them Cor the time, instead of as

The immediate staff officers of Gen. Foster
committed still more fragrant acts of insubordi-
nation. They sent off surrepttiously, and with
out the knowledge Of any one at Department
Headquarters, one of the best and most indis-
pensable steam transports with dispatches for
Gen. Foster. They used constantly and openly
language contemptuous of Gen. Hunter, crea-
tive of disaffection towards him among the off
GERS and men Of the reinforcements, and the be.
lief that Gen. Foster had suffered some wrong,
and was tolreturn with ample authority from
Washington for the supreme management of
affairs in this Department. The hearty acquies-
cence of Gen. Hunter in the Government policy
in regard to negroes was made the particular
means by them of exciting prejudice against
him. So defiant of all the rules of military
propriety became at last their conduct, that
Gen. Hunter found himself compelled to issue ar,
order, mentioned in my last, requiring them to
leave the limits of the Department By the Arst
steamer for the North. oil
In justification Of their remarkable behavior
the staff officers in question plead Gen. Fosters
orders. But it canEot well be presumed that
their superior authorized the indulgence in the
mutinous practices last referred to. Still there
must have been encouraging words and acts on
his part to induce them to forget the injuuctions
OF military discipline to the stated extent It
is difficult to conceive what reasons Gen. Foster
could have had to warrant, in his opinion at
least, his conduct in this matter. The only ples
put fourth by the advocates of his cause, that.

ment, he was entitled to their command, not ou-
