WASHINGTON, January p The report
that the President has ordered General
SehofeId TO supersede General Foster
in command Of East Tennessee and Ken
lucky, is not correct. The exact truth
is, that, lately the President received .
letter from General Grant in which he
stated that General Foster would be I'M
able, from physical disability, to retain
command, and requested that either
General Schofield or Mcpherson be or
dered TO relieve him. The President
thereupon simply ordered General
Schofield TO report to General Grant, for
assignment to such duty as be may deem
proper.
The President has directed General
Hhlleck TO issue an order, placing Gen
eral Rosecrans in command of the De-
parfment Of Missouri. This announce
ment IL official.
NEW YoRK, Jan. % The following
extracts from private letters received in
this city are of marked interest: The
abatement published, in the papers Of Dec.
%. of the capture and imprisonment in
Richmond of Gen. Ullman, was 3 mere
canard. in which there was not a syl-
liable of truth. Another invention has
gone the rounds Of the press, and csused
q vast amount Of unnecessary pain In
many families, viz, that that the officers
of Gen. Ullmsn's command who were
captured had been hung by the rebels.
The facts are, that after much effort Gen.
Ullman long since received information
IS 20 the fate of all officers Of his division
that had fallen into the hands of the
enemy except enc. Those who were
taken at jackson arc in Libby Prison,
and those who were captured 81 BFashesr
City in June are st Camp Ford, rebel
depot for prisoners, four miles from
Tyler. 1t is known that latterly their
treatment has not differed essentially
from that Of other prisoners.
Gen Ullmsn has constantly rebel pris-
oners on his HANDS, and those who know
him need no assurance that if any Of his
command shall be treated contrary to
the usages of civilized warfare retalia-
ton will be sharp and quick.

at Baton Rogue, and Gen. Ullman have
