DEPARTMENT OF THE WEsT.-We learn
from very recent correspondence, Norton

some important changes have been made ID

himself to Mississippi, Alabama, East Louis

heretofore existing was very eambersome.-

they were assigned, while Johnston had nom

all. II wss bis mission to take spseiai com
mand in any Of the departments when pecu-
liar danger threatened. Tls correspondent
adds:
Probably no two Generals hava precisely
the same ideas as to the proper disposition OF

DANGEROUS, I can illustrate my point by say

arrived in the department the troops were
placed preeisely where he did not want them
The new troops sent into the department,
though liberal as reinfoYcsments, were almOs,
useless az an independent army, in which Ca
pacity they were compelled to act.
