Especial Despatch to Chicago Tribuue.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. -
The report that the President has ordered !
Gen. Schofleld to eupersede Gen. Foster in |
command Of East Tennessee and Kentucky is |
not correct. The exact truth is that some |
days since the President received letter |
from Gen. Grant, in which tue latter stated |
that Gen. Foster would be unable from phys |
ica1 disability to retain his present command,
and requested either Mcpherson or Gen scho-
field be ordered to relieve him. The Pzesi~
dent thereupon simply ordered General scho-
field to report to General Grant for assign
ment to such duty as be may deem proper.
RosEcRAHs APPOINTED 70 MISSOURI.
The President has directed Gen. Halleck to
issue IN order placing Gen. Rosacrans in COM
mand of the department Of Missouri This
announcement is official
TREASURY MATTERS.
a joint resolution will probably be intro
duced carly next week providing additional
$50 bonds to the amount Of ten millions, to
be Iseued for deposits made prior to January
=, with authorized agents Of the Treasury
Department or in transit to them for the pur
cliase Of bonds, but which will not be re-
ceiyea until the total issue Of five hun
dred millions WINS exhausted. This
measure, which Is understood to be prompt
ed by the Treasury Department, is pretty
sure to become 4 lay. Secretary chase has
finally determined to issue, for the present,
i've per cent legal tenders in payment Of
Government debts, and meantime prepare
for q loan under the law of last Congress, au-'
thorizing the Issue Of bonds running not less
than ten nor more than 90 years. It is thought
the new bonds will be ten-forties, strictly
speaking, that is payable in 10 years at the
n1casurc Of the Government, or In 10 at all
events.
The Treasury Department Is receiving nu-
merous letters from New York bankers and
others, inquir1Dg whether if coupons should
be cut from five per cent notes they would
still be legal tender. Mr.. Chase has mega
tlvcd this proposed sharp practice He de-
cides that notes Of this class cease to be legal
tender If any coupon is detached before ma
turity Of euch coupon, and does not again
become legal tender until the next coupon
commences to draw interest The coupon
also becomes yalue1ess if prematurely de-
| taehed. It is stated upon the face Of each
| coupon that it is void il detached, except by
nut horizcd officers Of the Government.
TIE WAR IN ARKAssAs.
The President has announced to the Arkan-
| sas delegation this afternoon that he Ind de-
termined not to appoint separate Military
Governor, but TO entrust to Gen Steele, the
newly appointed Commander of the Depart
nent Of Arkansas, with both military and
cl;il administration Of the State. He stated
the reason to be that the experience Of the
| past Ind proved that there WINS constant con-
Gict between the Military Governors aud Mil
iiary Commanders, which WAS injurious to
the interests under their charge he cx-
| pressed hopes that the formal organization
| of lie State Government under the terms OF
the AMNESTY proclamation, would speedily
be made By the people Of Arkansas. The
/ delegation arc fully satisfied with the Preai-
| dents action. =
THE WAR N MEXICO.
Private letters from trustworthy adherenta

the City of Mexico, to the 26th and 9th o1

upon official dispatches of one lUgarte, who
is acting there as Major under the French.
