Gen. Mesdc,s Chief Of STAFF.

BRro.- GEN. HENRY X. WARREN, who has just
been appointed Chief of Staff to Gen. Meade, was
born at Cold Springs on the Hudson River, N. Y.
where bis family pow resides. He was graduated
at Wsst Point With high honors, but never to
have accepted commission, his name not appear
ing in the Dictionary Of the Army. Entering upon
the profession Of engineer be assisted materially
in surveying the upper Mississippi and subsequently
the Territory of Nebraska, for which his means were
very inadequate.
We first hear Of him in this war as taking charge
Of Duryea's Zouaves after the disastrous engage
ment of Big Bethel. This regiment he disciplined
and drilled with great care, both infantry of the
line and as engineers, and under bis instruction it
became celebrated for its proficiency. When Gen.
Hooker was appointed to command the Army Of the
Potomac, Gen. Warren was made Chief of Engi-
neer. on bis stall. lie discharged the difficult duties
Of tia, responsible position, second only in import
ance to the one he now holds under Gen. Meade,
with such ability, and with such exhibition of high
personal qualities as to win the respect Of the army
and its commanders in an unusual degree. At the
capture Of the Highs Of Fredericksburg by the
forces under the brave Gen. Sedgwick Gen. War
rode along the front of the position to recon.
noer at critical moment the forces Of the enemy.
He was exposed to peril so great, that his extra
ordinary courage attracted and delighted the enemy,
wLe cteered him as he passed along within close
range, aud forbore to fire at him where his life
seemed wholly at their mercy. During all Gen.
Hooker's tenure Of Office Gen. Warreas services
were conspicuous aud fairly entitled him to hs new
distinction
