returned from Albany to New York city at a
late hour on Tuesday night, having transacted
sithis business with Gov. Seymour in relation
to military matters with perfect satisfaction to
himself. The report, that 1t was the intention
Of Gtn- Wool to bring the entire militia of the
State under his control, was entirely without

General can have no control over the military
OF New ork State other than those who have
been regularly mustered into the United

on being relieved from duty with the Army of

to accede to his request. So we shalt probably
